After clarifying the details with Alex, Lucy took out a bag from a luxury brand store, and handed it to Alex, looking very shy as she looked down. "Since we have to do the marriage procedures as soon as possible, I thought I would bring you suitable clothes for the occasion."
Lucy was sorry, because she believed that Alex would think that she was superficial, and that she did not approve of her way of dressing, but Lucy's true intention was to prepare the ground for when Alex would face his family.
She knew that if Alex showed up in his current state at the Williams' villa, the impression on her family would not be what she was looking for.
"In the bag there are two sets of clothes, one for today, and the other for when you accompany me to a family reunion tomorrow, you can change in the bathroom so that we can get out of here to get the marriage registration."
Alex gave her a slight smile as she took the bag and went to the cafeteria bathroom to change her clothes.
Seeing Alex King's desolate back, Lucy Williams's heart suddenly clenched. It was as if she had done something wrong. What did she do wrong? Lucy Williams was sitting at the table lost in thought. Perhaps what she felt was wrong was that Alex King agreed because of the money.
Lucy was very sorry for this situation, but thinking about how Alex King took her $ 500,000 card without hesitation made her feel like he was getting a lot out of it all, and just like that, her last remaining guilt towards Alex King was gone.
Now, she could only wait until Alex King came back and get a marriage certificate from him. Then she would go the next day to the engagement banquet. If after all that, he still couldn't get rid of the Robinson family's annoyances, he wouldn't know what to do anymore.
After a while, Alex King came out of the bathroom, wearing a black suit, his body and the temperament of the whole person seemed to be different.
Lucy Williams looked up and nodded in satisfaction. This guy is still a bit more handsome after changing his clothes. Well, she has a good figure and a good bearing.
After Lucy Williams looked at him for a moment, he greeted Alex King and said, "Follow me!"
Alex King was puzzled, but he followed Lucy Williams out of the hotel and into his BMW.
Half an hour later, the BMW pulled up outside the Rever City Office of Civil Affairs.
Alex King was a bit surprised. Is Lucy Williams really in such a rush?
Could it be that having a registered marriage was so urgent?
At this moment, Alex King did not believe at all that this beauty who was driving a BMW would marry him for love, he knew that it was only about using him as a shield, but just like Alex all this seemed incredible.
"Go!" After getting out of the car, Lucy Williams drove Alex King directly to the marriage registry office.
After giving the staff two identification cards and two ledgers from her purse.
"We are registering to be married!" Lucy Williams told the staff with a calm expression on her face.
"Go there first to take a wedding photo."
Alex King's eyes widened, an incredible expression on his face.
"It's fine!" Lucy Williams nodded, and then took Alex King, who was still stunned, to the photo location to take a wedding photo, and brought the photo to the registry office.
Just ten minutes later, the two marriage certificates were in the hands of Lucy Williams. She handed one of them to Alex King and said, "This is yours, keep it safe."
Looking at the shiny marriage certificate, Alex King was dumbfounded.
Did you really marry this beauty?
I pinched my hand, it hurts, it's not a dream.
Ha ha ha, actually, I married a goddess, God, you're so nice to me! "
Alex King screamed in his heart.
Unlike Alex King, Lucy Williams looked at the marriage certificate calmly, even with a cold demeanor, and was not happy about the marriage.
Slowly raising her head, Lucy Williams looked at Alex King and said calmly, "From now on, in front of people, you are my husband and I am your wife."
Alex King understood this correctly, even though he was now married to Lucy Williams, he really understood that it was only on the surface.
And although he knew that now he would be seen as a son-in-law, a son-in-law who has no status, who has no human rights and cannot even fulfill the duties of a husband; For the rest of the people, Alex did not regret having made that decision.
For him, the more he could help Lucy Williams, the better it would be.
...
The next day.
In a luxurious villa, with several famous cars parked in front of the yard, Alex King followed Lucy Williams into the yard.
In the courtyard there are bunches of flowers and balloons of various colors dotted around it.
The heart-shaped arches and fragrant roses show that a great ceremony is about to take place here.
Men and women dispersed in groups on the patio, holding glasses of red wine one by one, chatting quietly, apparently waiting for the hero and heroine of this party to appear.
As Lucy Williams entered, everyone's eyes were drawn to her.
This woman truly has her own aura and shines no matter where she goes.
"This is Lucy Williams who is about to be hired for Edward Robinson."
"So beautiful! She has a good body.
"That's right ... With Edward Robinson's status, only such a beautiful woman can be worthy of him."
Hey… Isn't this the engagement banquet between her and Edward Robinson today? Why did you come here wearing a sports suit? Isn't it too casual?
"Who is the man next to you?"
"I haven't seen him before."
"Presumably a bodyguard, right?"
"bodyguard? Have you ever seen the master and the bodyguard dressing together as lovers? "
"I heard that Lucy Williams is of a strict character, and she was opposed to this arranged marriage."
Damn it, who is young Master Robinson? He is the heir to one of the richest families, and there are women who do not want to marry him. How can this be possible?"
It's not impossible, she's right in front of you. Don't you want to marry him? "
"I think this Lucy Williams is completely crazy."
"I don't think she's crazy, but she already has a boyfriend, so she doesn't want to marry Edward Robinson!"
"Is it the man next to you?"
Maybe it is!
"Although this man looks good and has a good figure, I have never seen him before, and must not have a record? A guy with no record wants to steal a woman from Edward Robinson. Do I think he is tired of living? "
"Are you tired of living, I don't know, but I know there may be a good show to see at today's engagement banquet?"
Lucy Williams walked through the crowd with a nonchalant expression. These people seemed to be talking, but it didn't affect her.
He went directly to the main villa.
In the courtyard an elderly woman greeted Lucy Williams with a smile, took Lucy Williams's hand and said, "Lucy, you're finally here, I worried for a long time, thinking you wouldn't come."
"Grandma, I have promised to appear here today, I would definitely not stop coming," said Lucy Williams indifferently.
This elderly woman is Lucy Williams' grandmother, Mrs. Williams.
Watching Lucy Williams' cold talk, Alex King off to the side was left speechless.
Lucy Williams treats her own grandmother with such indifference.
"Just come here, just come Lucy, hurry up and change your dress, the engagement party will start in a bit." Mrs. Williams got up and took Lucy Williams's hand to enter the villa.
However, Lucy Williams did not move. Instead, he got rid of his grandmother's hand and said weakly, "There is no need."
How can you wear sportswear if you get married? You have to change your dress! »
"Grandma, I said I'd come, but I didn't say I'd be engaged to Edward Robinson today." Mrs. Williams frowned and her face crumpled. He yelled, "What are you talking about?"
"I didn't promise anything."
"Lucy Williams, I don't care, why don't you wait and see Young Master Robinson, I tell you that you must get engaged today and set a date for this marriage." Mrs. Williams roared angrily.
"Grandma, they can't force me!"
What are we forcing you to do? Who is Young Master Robinson? That's young number one in Rever City. The Robinson family has a fortune in the hundreds of millions. If you marry him, you can wait a lifetime to enjoy happiness! "
A fortune in the hundreds of millions? And that?" Lucy Williams curled her lips, "With love, water is enough; without love, food does not satisfy ».
"We are doing this for your own good!"
For me good? You force me to marry Edward Robinson. I'm afraid they have fallen in love with the status and money of their family, right? " Lucy Williams said sarcastically.
"Do you talk to your grandmother like that?"
"Grandma, let me tell you, I will never be engaged to Edward Robinson, much less…" Halfway there, Lucy Williams turned her head and looked deeply at Alex King next to her.
Mrs. Williams was confused and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I'm already married!" Lucy Williams said casually.
«Married? How is this possible? You're married, why don't I know as a grandmother? »
"Grandma, this year I met the man of my life in the city," said Lucy Williams. She took Alex King by the arm, and looking deeply at Alex King, she said, "Grandma, this is my husband, Alex King."
From everyone's point of view, Lucy Williams looked at Alex King so affectionately with loving eyes.
Only Alex King and Lucy Williams' parents know the true relationship between the two. This woman's acting ability is really good. It would be a shame not to be an actress.
Of course, the cunning that Mrs. Williams has acquired over the years is not small. When everyone was touched by Lucy Williams's affection, Mrs. Williams pouted and said dismissively, 'What husband? I think you hired this guy temporarily as a shield, right? "
"The grandmother is right."
Lucy Williams saw a man enter which immediately enraged her. A young man in his twenties approached gracefully in an exquisite dress.
This man is the male lead at today's banquet, Edward Robinson. He looked at Lucy Williams fondly and said, "Lucy, what happened that time was a misunderstanding. I'm not that kind of person".
"Misunderstood?" Lucy Williams's expression didn't change, and she said weakly, "What if it's a misunderstanding?"
"Lucy, as long as you marry me, I promise you that in the future you will be the happiest woman in the world."
"In the future?" Said Lucy Williams, shook her head and said weakly, "We have never had a past, nor will we have a present, much less a future together, Edward Robinson, I can tell you clearly today, I never liked you before. I don't like you now, and I will never like you ».
Lucy Williams, don't you want me to show you my heart? Is that?"
"Your heart? You do not interest me". Lucy Williams shook her head.
"It's fine! Lucy Williams, even if you don't like me and don't want to commit to me, you can tell me that we just canceled the engagement ceremony. You don't need to hire a man to bother me, do you? "
"Hire?" Lucy Williams smiled.
Alex King saw her smile. Although it was sarcasm, it was also like a blooming snow lotus, so beautiful!
"Isn't that right?" Edward Robinson asked, his mouth curving.
To be honest, Edward Robinson seemed to know Lucy Williams quite well. He also immediately recognized Alex King and thought this guy was just Lucy Williams' rent to piss him off.
How can I believe you married the fruit vendor at the market, do you think that because you bought him clothes, he wouldn't recognize him? You only rented it to impersonate your husband to annoy me. "
