Chapter 23 We Received Our Certificate Three Minutes Ago
Clara saw something in the certificate, and she suddenly became sober. Turning to look at Ethan, she
said, “Mr. Preston, you, you are older than me......”
“Yes, by nine years.” Ethan finishing her sentence with a cold expression.
“...”
Clara Rowan looked at the age of the man on the marriage certificate and thought of the night at the
hotel half a month ago. She suddenly thought: ‘He didn’t act his age’
Didn’t he not act his age?
Such an old man, even though he was tricked that night, he hadn’t seemed drunk. Couldn’t he have
pushed himself away?
Seeing that Clara had an unpleasant expression, Ethan raised an eyebrow. “Why, do you have a
problem with that?”
“No, it was just surprising.” Clara immediately dispelled her depression. She and Ethan weren’t really
going to be husband and wife, so of course she didn’t care about age difference.
They left the city hall side by side.
Clara suddenly remembered something and pursed her pink lips, “Mr. Preston......”
Before she had a chance to say anything, Ethan suddenly leaned over, his breath falling on her face,
“Sorry, I may have to kiss you.”
What?
Before Clara could react, her chin was suddenly held by the man. She was forced to raise her head
and meet his warm kiss.
Clara was stupefied for a second, then she stiffened.
The man did not simply touch her lips, he pried open her teeth and kissed her forcefully. A strong
masculine aura filled Clara mouth and made her legs limp.
After a full minute of kissing, Ethan ended. He put his hand around Clara’s slender waist to prevent her
from falling.
Clara eyes were red. Only able to breathe, she leaned on him to support herself.
“Mr. Preston.” A middle-aged man walked up to the two of them. His hairstyle was meticulous, and he
seemed to be a housekeeper. He greeted Ethan with a smile.
Ethan nodded, “Josh, why are you here?”
“I come to the city office to get something.” Josh quickly looked at the woman in Ethan’s embrace, “Sir,
this is.......”
Ethan held Clara in his arms with a gentle expression. “This is my wife, Clara; we got our marriage
certificate three minutes ago.”
Josh immediately smiled. “Congratulations Mr. Preston, your grandma will be very happy to know.”
“She has just married me and needs some time to adjust,” Ethan said, “When she has adjusted, I will
take her to see my grandmother.”
“Okay, don’t let me interrupt you two.” Josh bowed down towards Ethan and left quickly.
Although Clara legs were a little weak, her brain was still working. After listening to the whole
conversation, she guessed that Ethan had kissed her in order to let Josh see it.
At Ethan age, it was only right for his grandmother to worry about him getting married and having
children.
It seems like Ethan hadn’t lied to her...
“Are you okay?” Ethan asked, looked down at Clara.
After getting married to Steve, she had unreservedly tried many times, but Steve had always used his
work as an excuse, and even if he kissed her, it was always only light and brief. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Later she learned that he had stayed in the Rowan family only for revenge and the ability to attack her.
Ethan’s face sank as he lowered his head, looking at Clara’s eyes. Clara buried her head in his neck
and dared not say a word.
On the road, a Bentley sped by. New chаpter avąilable on
In the back seat, Steve inadvertently saw the figure on the side of the road and immediately ordered
the driver, “Slow down!”
After the car slowed down, Steve looked at the road and saw Ethan Preston walking down the stairs
holding a woman. The woman obediently hugged his neck, and her cheeks were slightly red.
Steve looked up again and saw that they were at the city hall. He frowned.
He had asked someone to follow Clara and had noticed that after she left the dinner party, she had
gotten in Ethan’s car. And now, they were both together at the entrance to the city hall.
Clara didn’t seem to just be Ethan’s female companion...
