Chapter 54 The Grand Wedding 12 Obtaining the Marriage Certificate
In the banquet hall.
Ophelia was extremely angry.
At that moment, she couldn't help but glance at Genevieve and Theodore.
Ophelia knew that this matter was no longer changeable.
The Kingsley family members were all very angry, truly not expecting to encounter such a humiliating and embarrassing situation at this important event.
At this moment, the Kingsley family looked at the Lockharts and the Whitakers getting along harmoniously, feeling the gaze of countless people falling on them, they felt so uncomfortable.
"Alaric, take Cecilia to get the marriage certificate," Caspian instructed.
"Alright." Alaric appeared very respectful.
Every move was gentle and polite.
He was nothing like the rumored playboy Alaric, almost like a different person.
Cecilia, in full view of everyone, left the wedding scene with Alaric.
Throughout the process, Cecilia was a bit slow.
After a while, Cecilia took a deep breath.
She looked at Alaric, seeing him waiting for her to say something.
"I thought you wouldn't come," Cecilia said.
"Did I disappoint you?" Alaric questioned.
Without the stage, Alaric seemed to revert to his carefree appearance.
Indeed.
What the jerk just portrayed was all an act.
He was a perfect actor.
"No." Cecilia was a bit frustrated. "I just... I just didn't expect you to be so serious."
"I've always been serious about you." Alaric's magnetic voice said calmly and unhurriedly.
Cecilia's heart fluttered.
Alaric was really good at pleasing women.
She turned away, avoiding his deep affectionate gaze.
She didn’t want to make eye contact with him.
She thought that to this point, she shouldn’t have any complaints.
She should help Alaric more in the future to repay this favor.
She even felt a surge of satisfaction and relief at Dominic's embarrassment!
A moment of silence passed.
"Mr. Whitaker, we arrive." Augustus was driving.
She was actually curious why Augustus addressed him as "Mr. Whitaker" instead of "Master Whitaker."
The difference in meaning between these two titles was significant.
Alaric nodded gently.
He got out of the car first, then walked towards Cecilia's side, gentlemanly opening the car door for her.
Cecilia looked up.
At that moment, she saw the words [Marriage Registration Hall].
She stared straight at Alaric.
"Cecilia, let’s get out of the car."
"You didn't say we were really going to get the marriage certificate," Cecilia hurriedly said.
She had just zoned out and completely forgot to ask Alaric where they were going!
"If we don’t do that, Dominic might think that we are acting, so he might try to verify our marriage information. So we need to get that certificates to make everything look true," Alaric explained confidently.
Cecilia hesitated, but she had to agree with Alaric's point of view.
Perhaps Dominic wouldn't think of it immediately, but he would eventually realize that if they were not married, all their actions today would be seen as a joke.
She nodded. "Alright. I'll repay you."
It was a way of indicating that she would return the things they had just given her.
Such as the gifts announced on the spot just now.
At that moment, Alaric suddenly revealed a hint of a wicked smile, a smile that was quite suggestive.
Cecilia blushed.
‘This jerk Alaric, what dirty thoughts had crossed his mind?’ she wondered
"Cecilia, hurry up," Alaric reminded as if he knew all her temperaments very well and was very skilled at handling them.
Cecilia suppressed her temper and followed Alaric out of the car.
Then they entered the Marriage Registration Hall.
When they left the wedding scene, Alaric had prepared a set of casual clothes for her, a complete outfit tailored precisely. Thanks to him, Cecilia was not in a wedding dress.
The two were arranged by the staff to go through a series of procedures, and at the moment when identification was needed, Cecilia panicked.
She had forgotten to bring her ID card.
"Ms. Lockhart." The housemaid Amy ran over, panting. "Here is your ID card and other documents you need. Mr. Lockhart asked me to bring them to you."
Cecilia look at Alaric.
"I informed Mr. Lockhart and asked him to send them over." Alaric didn't hide it from Cecilia either.
Cecilia pursed her lips.
Sometimes she really felt that Alaric was more thoughtful than she had imagined.
She didn't say much, took the documents, and then got the certificate.
In less than twenty minutes, they got the marriage certificates.
The staff even warmly said, "Congratulations."
Cecilia suddenly remembered the scene of her and Dominic getting the marriage certificate in their past life.
They got it after the wedding ceremony.
After getting the certificate, Dominic tore it up.
Dominic said, "Since we won't divorce, it's useless."
At that time, Cecilia thought he truly loved her.
Now she realized that he simply thought her name didn't deserve to be on the same document as his.
Holding the marriage certificate, she got in the car.
They fell silent for a long time.
She looked up.
When she was about to ask him what they should do next, she saw Alaric staring at the marriage certificate with a smile.
"Do you think you look handsome?" Cecilia said helplessly.
In her memory, since getting the certificate, his eyes hadn't left the document.
"Isn't that so?" Alaric's gaze was still fixed on the marriage certificate, his tone light as he responded.
Cecilia rolled her eyes.
She said seriously, "What are we going to do next?"
Alaric's eyes flickered, finally shifting his gaze to Cecilia.
He said, "We're going to hold a wedding."
What else should they do.
Everyone already knew they were married, so there was no need for an unnecessary wedding!
"I've had my father inform all the guests, our wedding ceremony will be held tonight," he said.
"Tonight?" Cecilia was surprised.
"Yes," Alaric affirmed.
"Is it necessary?" Cecilia couldn't help but ask.
That was a waste of money and energy.
In fact, they had already embarrassed the Kingsley family enough today.
Even if they held another wedding ceremony in the evening, it wouldn't make them feel any worse.
"It's necessary for you to understand what a wedding truly means," Alaric said slowly and deliberately.
What was this jerk going to do?
