Meeting You Was Fate

Chapter 756 I Can't Live Without You

Ethon frowned, a hint of anger flashing on his face. Fiona looked at him uneasily. She knew that they wouldn't be able to register for marriage that day.

"Did my mother talk to you?" Ethon asked, clenching his teeth.

Ethon's uncle didn't respond. He didn't want to admit this as he didn't want Ethon to get in a fight with his mother.

Monica clearly knew Ethon very well. He might look calm and gentle on the surface, but in reality, he was stubborn. He wouldn't stop at anything just to get what he wanted. He probably inherited this attitude from Monica herself.

Knowing this, Monica had already assumed that Ethon might do something like this—secretly get married to Fiona. This was why she talked to Ethon's uncle beforehand.

The atmosphere in the office was a little depressing. Fiona's eyes flickered as uneasiness filled her chest.

At that moment, the door suddenly flew open. Monica and Shyla walked in. . All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

They were both fuming with anger.

When Fiona saw them, her heart trembled. She had a bad feeling about this.

The fierce look on Monica's face scared her. Luckily, Ethon was by her side. Otherwise, she really wouldn't have the courage to continue this anymore.

Staying silent, Ethon cast a cold glance at his mother. He didn't even greet her, which only infuriated her further.

Since Ethon didn't want to be the first to say anything, Monica stared him down wordlessly. The thick silence lasted for a long while before Ethon finally averted his gaze.

He wasn't really afraid of her.

He knew that if he stayed here, things were only going to get worse.

That afternoon, Monica and Shyla had planned to see a movie. They were a bit early, so they opted to have some dessert first. They were taken aback when they received Ethon's uncle's message. They hadn't even taken a bite of their order when they found out that Ethon was registering for marriage.

Monica was seething when she read the message. Luckily, they were so close to the Marriage Bureau that it didn't take long for them to arrive there.

"You shameless bitch! How dare you seduce my son into marrying you! I'm telling you right now that's never going to happen! As long as I'm still alive, you two are never going to get married!" Monica pointed a finger at Fiona. She was wearing a red dress, which only made her look even more intimidating and evil.

"Even if we can't get married today, we can always come back tomorrow to do it," Ethon stated sternly, stepping up to protect Fiona.

He didn't know what was going to happen next, so he stood in front of Fiona as a way of protecting her.

Envy flickered across Shyla's eyes as she glared at Fiona.

'How could they get married so soon?' Shyla thought to herself.

"Well, looks like you're determined to do this." With her eyebrows raised, Monica cast a scornful glance at Ethon.

Ethon was equally angry. Monica had driven him out of the Yu Family and had blocked him from getting a job anywhere just so he would leave Fiona. Only the JS International would hire him, and that was because he had Nathan to back him up. Nathan treated him fairly well, mostly because of his brother.

"Yup, you're right. I'm very determined. My household register is separate from yours, so I'm free to marry whomever I want. I want to marry Nana. I just happened to have forgotten my household register today," Ethon said confidently. Then he coldly glanced at his uncle, visibly disappointed at his betrayal. "Uncle, why did you do this? Why did you tell my mom? If you didn't want to do me the favor, you should have just refused me outright. Why couldn't you have told me that?"

The atmosphere grew tense. Frowning, Fiona glanced at Ethon, a strange look on her face. She figured Ethon was probably really angry, or else he wouldn't have spoken to his uncle like this. This was quite uncharacteristic of him.

He was mad at his uncle for being dishonest with him.

Inwardly, Fiona felt that what Ethon's uncle did was unacceptable too. Why was he meddling with other people's lives anyway?

Ethon's uncle was so angry that he couldn't even say a word. More than anything, he felt wronged. It was Monica who had told him to do that in the first place.

"Ethon, shut up! How could you say that?" Monica's face turned red with anger as she clenched her handbag, intending on hitting Fiona with it.

However, Ethon was protecting her, which only made Monica even angrier.

"I'm just saying what's on my mind. Maybe to you, love doesn't mean anything, but to me, it's everything. I love Nana, and I can't live without her. I will die if I don't have her. If you want me to die

then go ahead," Ethon asserted.

Fiona was a bit shocked upon hearing this. Mouth agape, she gently tugged at Ethon's sleeve and said tentatively, "Ethon, don't talk like that. You're going to scare your mother."

"Well it's true. I can't live without you." He turned to look at her affectionately as he wrapped his arm around her waist.
