Chapter 569 Let's Get Married
"Bring your documents; let's go get married," Donovan said to Cynthia.
Cynthia thought,' There must be some rift between Donovan and Chloe. Donovan is a very composed person and wouldn't do something as impulsive as marrying someone else. Since Donovan suggested it, Chloe must have done something intolerable. This matter couldn't be delayed.'
"Wait a moment, I'll be right there," Cynthia said. After speaking, she went into the room to grab her bag and left with Donovan, instructing the housekeeper to look after the children.
On the way, Cynthia even pretended to be concerned and said to Donovan, "Donovan, don't act on your emotions. If you and Chloe have a conflict, just talk it out."
But what Cynthia was really thinking, 'Since Donovan made such a decision, it must be a conflict that can't be resolved by talking.'
Cynthia hadn't seen the news about Derek and Lisa's engagement. Even if she had, she would have skipped it because the names were unfamiliar.
Donovan remained silent, his face stern, as he drove straight to the government office.
Cynthia was still anxious. As long as they weren't married yet, she remained uneasy.
If Chloe made any moves in the future, she would be the third party, the kind that everyone despised.
Thinking of this, Cynthia felt extremely pleased. She had never felt this satisfied in her life.
Cynthia even thought about posting on Facebook after they got married to let everyone know she was married.
When they stood at the government office and took out their IDs, Donovan suddenly hesitated.
Donovan suddenly thought about his marriage to Chloe; Chloe knew nothing and would curiously watch the staff stamp a document for a long time; He remembered Chloe saying, "Is that all it costs to get married? Why do so many people say they can't afford a wife?"
He remembered Chloe saying, "Mr. Blake, I will be a good wife in public and won't embarrass you";
He remembered how Chloe cautiously asked him for money after they got married.
Chloe thought Donovan knew nothing, but Donovan knew everything! Donovan originally wanted to punish Chloe severely, but he just couldn't take that step.
In business, Donovan was always decisive, but in this matter, he hesitated. And he hated himself for it.
"Donovan, Donovan," Cynthia urged him.
Cynthia said, "Take out your ID."
"We're not getting married," Donovan's anger suddenly dissipated.
Cynthia was speechless. She instinctively felt she had been played. Donovan must have thought of Chloe again, which made him hesitate. Otherwise, how could someone as decisive as Donovan suddenly waver?
Cynthia wouldn't blame Donovan; she would only blame Chloe. Now, Cynthia felt like a fool. She instinctively felt she had become a doormat for Donovan and Chloe's quarrels.
Cynthia felt so embarrassed that her hatred for Chloe grew even stronger.
Donovan asked softly, "Shall we go home?"
Although it wasn't intentional, Donovan knew that after this incident, Cynthia's heart would be even more twisted. Cynthia might hate Chloe even more.
Cynthia stared at the ground, tears of embarrassment welling up. She didn't want to be a doormat, but she had become one.
Cynthia nodded slightly, her hatred for Chloe reaching its peak.
