Because she was afraid that Edward Anderson would leave in the middle of the night, Bella Scott didn't really sleep that night.
As soon as it was light, she immediately dragged Edward Anderson to the Registry Office to get registered.
The registration process went smoothly.
Bella Scott looked at the still-hot marriage certificate and kissed it several times.
Did she really get married? Why does it feel so unreal, like a dream?
Edward Anderson glanced at his wristwatch and got into the car first: "I have to go to work. By the way, go pack your things and move to my house. Here's the key."
Without waiting for Bella Scott to speak, Edward Anderson threw the key to her and drove away.
Bella Scott didn't think much, and went back to the hotel, packed a suitcase, and moved into Edward Anderson's villa.
She stood in the empty living room; this large house would be her home for the next year.
Not dwelling on it for too long, she left the villa and continued to work on her unfinished cases.
After a busy day at work, she returned to the villa only to find it in complete darkness, with no sign of her newlywed husband.
She didn't think much of it, since this was already something she had thought about before; Edward Anderson not coming home at night was the norm.
The first night of her marriage, Bella Scott was very calm.
Early the next morning, she saw her new husband on the entertainment page. Photos of Edward Anderson and Saylor Bennett talking at a banquet were put in the most eye-catching headline, and the rumors about them were being widely reported by various media. Everyone was guessing when Edward Anderson would take Saylor Bennett home.
Unfortunately for Saylor Bennett, Bella Scott had taken the lead, and Edward Anderson had become her legal husband.
Wouldn't that woman Saylor Bennett be so mad when she found out about this?
With this thought in mind, Bella Scott suddenly had a good idea.
Right away, she called Tyshawn Scott: "Mr. Scott, you want me to marry Mr. Brown, that's no problem. However, as Miss Scott, a big event like my wedding has to be grand! So the wedding cannot be sloppy, it has to be held with dignity. I have also picked the wedding date - it's on the 18th of next month. If you agree, I'll marry him. If you don't, be prepared for me to make a big fuss at the Scotts. You know my temper, I'm not joking about this kind of thing. Think it over and give me an answer."
Tyshawn Scott talked about this with Anabelle Martin, and Anabelle sighed lightly: "Poor child, it's not easy for her to get married. Since it's Bella's wish, let her be. A grand wedding for Bella would also bring honor to the Scotts. You can talk to Mr. Brown about this; he should agree to postpone the wedding."
In the afternoon, Bella Scott received a call back from Tyshawn Scott. He told her that the grand wedding was no problem and postponing the wedding for a month was also fine. But if she tried any tricks, he would teach her a lesson.
Bella Scott got her satisfactory answer, and she even had an unusually long conversation with Tyshawn Scott before hanging up.
The second night of their marriage, Edward Anderson still didn't come home.
Bella Scott suddenly felt that Edward Anderson was showing her who's boss this way, making her see her own position.
She didn't really care about this. After all, she married Edward Anderson as a last resort, only as a temporary solution. Edward Anderson didn't want to have a deep involvement with her, and she had the same idea.
At six in the evening that day, as she was about to leave work, she received a tip from an informant that the client's husband was meeting his mistress at the Cherden Hotel.
All her colleagues had gone home, leaving her alone, so she had to rush to the destination by herself.
