"I'm taking you to get a marriage certificate," Zayn said.
Tessa looked at Zayn in shock. "Za-Zayn, are you... being serious?"
"I have not joked with others for a very long time,” said Zayn.
Tessa's tears immediately streamed down her cheeks. "Zayn, I'm...sorry. I have misjudged you this morning. However, why would you be in touch with that woman? That woman..."
Seeing that Zayn has a stern expression, Tessa did not continue. She bit her lips. "Have you thought it through about taking me to get a marriage certificate?”
Zayn smiled lightly. "Of course, I have thought it through.”
Prior to that day, Zayn had never thought about getting married so soon. After all, marriage was a matter that would last a lifetime. He did not wish to get married a second time in his life. He originally wanted to know more about Tessa and see how compatible they are with each other. However, after what Hana said that morning, Zayn had made the decision to marry Tessa. A voice from the bottom of his heart was telling him that he had to marry Tessa, only then could he pay back the favor to Hana for
saving his life. In any case, other than having a conflict with her mother, Tessa was an excellent girl. H e would not suffer any losses for marrying a girl who was ten years younger than him.
After he had thought it through, he said firmly again." Let's go, I will take you to get our marriage certificate now!"
Tessa stopped crying and laughed instead. "Oh, Zayn, you truly are an inexperienced manly man."
Zayn was speechless.
"There are a lot of documents needed to apply for a marriage certificate. All my documents are at home with my dad, so I have to first go home and get them."
"Alright!" However, his heart sank for a moment. Shopping again? He was not short on money, but, for some reason, he was a little annoyed at that idea. Immediately after that, he cursed at himself in his heart. 'Zayn, aren't you a little too stingy? You have such a huge company and yet, you’re afraid of your girlfriend going to shop? Were you working hard so that your girlfriend, who is also your future wife, and also your future child can live a good life? Never mind her spending a million dollars, even if she were to spend ten million dollars, you also have to be unfazed. Do you hear me?'
He warned himself as he walked towards Sebastian's office. He had been busy dating Tessa recently, so he had not had the time to speak to Sebastian. Since he was already about to get a marriage certificate with Tessa, he should talk to his matchmaker.
Zayn pushed open the door and called out, " Matchmaker! What are you busy with?"
After saying that, he saw Sebastian standing alone in front of the full-length window while smoking.
Sebastian's brows were tightly knitted and the way he looked made Zayn’s heart sink for a moment.
