‘But… I should be content.’
He told himself.
Once they came out of tMason Swansonvil Affairs Bureau, Martin Weiss and Kyla each held a copy of their marriage license.
Martin Weiss said, “Let me take you home.”
“No thanks, I can take the bus home myself.” Kyla rejected him.
Martin Weiss said bitterly, “Are you still going to reject me even when we’ve become husband and wife?”
“You know very well that we only married for the baby,” said Kyla.
Martin Weiss was silent. ‘Yes, I know this better than anyone!’
Without the baby, she would have hated even a moment of his company.
“Oh, yes. Let’s apply for the baby’s birth permission certificate when you’re free. I need it for the obstetric record,”
said Kyla.
“Okay, pick the time. I’ll go with you whenever you want,” he said.
Kyla said nothing more, turned around, and walked toward the bus stop.
Martin Weiss looked blankly at her figure until it disappeared from his sight. Then, he laughed at himself and returned to tMason Swansonvil Affairs Bureau’s photo place.
“Here, these are the photos we took when you took your vows. Choose seven,” the photographer said.
The photographer thought that the couple did not want to pay extra for the photoshoot, but the man sneaked over later and asked him to take some photos when they took their vows.
“Give them all to me. You don’t need to print them out. Just email them to me,” said Martin Weiss.
“All of them?” The photographer froze and said, “Even if you don’t print them out, it’ll cost more than 50 dollars.”
“How much do you want?” Martin Weiss asked readily.
The photographer gave him the price, and Martin Weiss paid right away. The photographer sent the photos to Martin Weiss’s email address and could not help saying, “You and your wife don’t seem to be getting along. You didn’t argue, did you? You’re newlyweds. You have to work harder! There’s no argument married couples can’t resolve in the end. Say nice things and be nice to your wife. She’ll forgive you in a few days!”
“Really? Forgive…” muttered Martin Weiss.
“Yes, women relent easily,” the photographer said.
Martin Weiss’s eyes glimmered slightly, and he said nothing more.
He knew the old Kyla would relent easily. If she was angry with him, he had only had to coax her a little for everything to be fine.
However, now she could relent to everyone but him.
Martin Weiss walked out of tMason Swansonvil Affairs Bureau and looked down at the marriage license in his hand.
No matter what, she was now his wife and he was her husband!
When Kyla returned to the store, Mrs. Corbyn saw that her daughter was alone and Martin Weiss was not with her.
She asked, “Where’s Martin Weiss? Have you gotten your marriage license?”
“Yes, we got it. We separated at tMason Swansonvil Affairs Bureau’s entrance, and I took the bus back myself,” said Kyla.
She did not tell anyone that she was getting the marriage license today. She only told her mother last night.
Mrs. Corbyn asked, “He didn’t bring you home?”
“Why should he? We agreed that everything would remain the same after we got married. We’ll leave each other alone and live our own lives. But we’ll cooperate when it comes to things related to the kids,” said Kyla, Mrs. Corbyn could not say anything more.
However, she wanted her daughter to be with Martin Weiss. After all, they had two children together now. She had also seen what Martin Weiss had done over the years.
Kyla felt nauseous again as she spoke, so she rushed to the side and threw up.
Mrs. Corbyn could only feel sorry for her daughter when she saw that.
In the afternoon, the sound of firecrackers rang at the end of the alley. Then, a line of luxury cars drove straight up and stopped at Kyla’s store.
The neighbors looked this way as they were attracted by the sound of the firecrackers.
Martin Weiss got out of the car in a crisp suit. Many of his men got out too. They opened the car trunk and took out bags of wedding candies.
Kyla gaped at the scene in front of her. She rushed to Martin Weiss after some time and whispered, “What… What are you doing?”
Martin Weiss said, “I’m here to tell people we’re married, of course. Aren’t you afraid that Nelson, your mother, and the baby in your belly will be judged in the future? Then this is a good time to tell the people around us that we’re married so that they’ll stop talking about it!”
Kyla was speechless. When he made such a grand gesture, they would probably talk about him instead of their bastard children!
With that said, Martin Weiss ordered his men to distribute those wedding candies to the neighbors.
The wedding candies Martin Weiss prepared were of high quality, of course. They cost hundreds of dollars a box.
The neighbors were beaming as they received the wedding candies. They all crowded to Kyla’s store and congratulated her.
“Kyla, you found a good husband. He’s rich!”
“Congratulations! I heard your husband say that you two separated for years because of an accident, and he kept saying that he did you and Nelson wrong by letting you raise Nelson by yourself. After all that hard work, you’re going to have a good life now.”
“This groom is so handsome. No wonder Nelson is so good-looking. He took after his father!”
Kyla could only smile dryly as the neighbors congratulated her. Mrs. Corbyn smiled less reluctantly. After all, the neighbors would gossip less after Martin Weiss did this.
Once the firecrackers finished sounding and they were done distributing the wedding candies, it was just about time for school to be over. As soon as Nelson Corbyn left the school, he saw his father standing at the store’s entrance while their neighbors congratulated his parents.
A classmate approached Nelson Corbyn and asked curiously, “Is your family celebrating a happy event?”
Nelson Corbyn blinked his eyes. After he heard the words ‘may you live a long and happy life together and have many children and grandchildren’ sandwiched between the words of congratulation, he recalled what his mother had told him about getting married.
‘Has Daddy and Mommy… gotten married?’
By this time, a student was rushing back after going to the store to find out what had happened.
As soon as they saw Nelson Corbyn, they immediately said excitedly, “Nelson Corbyn, is that your father? Wow, he’s so handsome! Besides, all those cars belong to your father and they said all those men in black suits are your father’s. He’s so amazing. He looks just like the big shots in TV shows.”
The other classmates immediately looked at Nelson Corbyn with envy, and many female students’ eyes lit up.
Nelson Corbyn only looked blankly at his father standing not far away and his mother standing at the store’s entrance. He was still shocked by what was going on… ‘Are Daddy and Mommy… married?’
In the Corbyn family’s small living room, Kyla, Martin Weiss, Mrs. Corbyn, and Nelson stood silently while looking at each other.
