After leaving the Wells family residence, Avery Wells took Ethan Blackwood's private car and went to the Civil Affairs Bureau again. There was no usual oath-taking ceremony for the couple. From applying for marriage to filling out forms, from taking photos to signing both names, the whole process was very quick.
In less than fifteen minutes, they obtained their marriage certificate - two red booklets. Originally, each person should have one booklet, but Ethan Blackwood took Avery Wells' booklet before she even had a chance to hold it, saying that he would keep it for the time being.
According to him, he would keep it safe for her. There would be no divorce between them, so they would not need this thing in the future.
Avery Wells opened her mouth several times, wanting to ask him how he knew they would not get divorced, but she held back. She knew that angering this man at this time would not do her any good.
When they left the Civil Affairs Bureau, it was already past eleven in the morning. She thought they would go back to the Wells family residence, but the driver, Ryan Thompson, did not take the original route. Instead, he went in the opposite direction of Ethan Blackwood's villa.
Avery Wells looked out of the window several times and finally couldn't help but ask, "Um... Mr. Blackwood, where are we going now?"
It wasn't to the Wells family residence, nor was it to his villa. Since they had obtained their marriage certificate, was there anywhere else they needed to go?
Oh, right. Avery Wells guessed that although Ethan Blackwood had been independent for many years, he still needed to inform his other family members about such a big event as his marriage.
Ethan Blackwood, also known as Third Master Blackwood. As his name suggests, he is the third in line among the descendants of the Blackwood family.
Avery Wells didn't know whether the two above Ethan Blackwood were his older brothers or sisters, nor did she have any interest in it. She only thought that the Blackwood family was the largest and most prestigious family in the city, and in such a prominent family, they would never lack for a husband or wife.
Perhaps this man was going to take her to meet his family?
But Ethan Blackwood did not confirm her guess.
"We're going to Oakwood Children's Center."
"The children's center?" Avery Wells was taken aback. "What are we going to do there?"
"You'll see when we get there."
Ethan Blackwood glanced at Avery Wells, then fixed his gaze ahead and fell silent.
Without any further questions, Avery Wells followed him quietly.
Forty minutes later, the car stopped in front of Oakwood Children's Center.
"Third Master, Miss Avery, we've arrived. Please get out of the car."
Ryan Thompson got out of the car and respectfully opened the door, waiting for the two to get out.
"Let's go."
Ethan Blackwood got out of the car first and walked into the children's center without waiting for Avery Wells.
Avery Wells hurriedly got out of the car and followed him, trying to keep up with his long strides.
She was curious. A children's center was obviously a place for taking care of children. Ethan Blackwood had been single for so many years, and he didn't even have a wife. What was he doing here?
Two people walked in, one in front and one behind. After entering, a young woman greeted them.
"How's Julian doing lately?"
This was the first time Avery Wells had heard about Julian from Ethan Blackwood.
The young woman replied, "Third Young Master, Julian is still the same, doesn't like to talk, and likes to stay alone in his room. I'm worried he'll suffocate himself."
"Where is he now? Take me to see him."
"Okay, Third Young Master. Julian is practicing calligraphy in the study on the third floor. Please follow me."
Who is Julian? What kind of relationship does he have with Ethan Blackwood?
Avery Wells suppressed her curiosity and continued to follow the man inside.
