Chapter 462 Cheesy Instagram
Stuart proudly began to speak, "Yeah, Jair called me and said Claudia saw my Instagram and congratulated us. Then I called Steven."
After Stuart explained everything, Josephine said, "That's great! Claudia is fine, but if Laura and Steven get their marriage certificate, Steven will definitely be grateful to you."
"He should thank you, it's your charm."
The two entered the house, and Josephine picked up her phone, only to see many messages from people. Both Claudia and Laura had called her.
Josephine had only told her family about getting the marriage certificate.
After quickly scanning through the messages, they were all surprised that she had suddenly gotten the certificate.
How did others find out? Was news spreading this fast now?
She directly initiated a voice call in their small group chat. The other two quickly picked up.
Laura said, "Josephine, you secretly went and got the certificate?"
Josephine hurriedly said, "I meant to tell you guys, but I forgot."
Claudia also said, "I saw Stuart's Instagram, otherwise, I really wouldn't have known."
Josephine was a bit surprised, "I didn't expect him to post on Instagram."
Claudia said, "I think the caption was well written."
Laura said, "It's quite cheesy."
Josephine hadn't had a chance to see it yet, "What did he write?"
Laura said, "Wife, this time I held your hand, and I won't let go for a lifetime. Something like that, right Claudia?"
"Yes," Claudia laughed, "By the way, Jair is coming to pick me up later, we're going to City Hall."
Laura also said, "I'm waiting for Steven to pick me up too."
"That's great." Josephine said happily, "We must celebrate today! How about coming to Celestia Springs?"
"Sure, I'm fine with that."
Claudia said, "I don't know if he needs to go back to the military base, I'll have to ask him."
"Alright," Josephine didn't insist, knowing Jair's special profession, "If you can't make it, we'll get together another day."
After ending the voice call, Josephine went to check Instagram.
Sure enough, she saw Stuart's post.
They had many mutual friends, and she saw many likes and comments.
People were not only surprised by his public announcement but also by his high-profile declaration of love. Considering Stuart was usually a reserved and restrained person, his sweet and cheesy declaration today was unexpected. Many were curious about the identity of Mrs. Haustia and wondered who exactly he got the certificate with.
Of course, some people knew that after Stuart's divorce, he waited for his ex-wife for five years, and since Josephine returned to the country, he had been pursuing her. Many people commented, asking if it was Josephine.
Today, he rarely replied: [Yes, it's always been her.]
Josephine turned off her phone and smiled. When she turned around, Stuart was looking at her.
She said, "Claudia and Laura are both getting their certificates, you really are the hero."
"I'm happy to help them," Stuart said, "They listened to me mainly because of you."
Stuart added, "I told Grandpa, let's go home first and tell Nicole."
"Okay."
When they got there, Nicole wanted to see the marriage certificate. Josephine clearly saw that after Andrew looked at the certificate, Stuart carefully took it upstairs.
No need to guess, he must have locked it up again. Sure enough, Stuart looked troubled.
"Didn't bring it? That's not right, you just got the certificate, shouldn't you show it off? You two aren't lying to me, are you? Didn't actually get the certificate?"
"Mom," Josephine quickly took out her phone, "Who carries the marriage certificate with them? We got it, I took a photo, look."
"Photos can be fake too."
Stuart had no choice but to say, "I'll go get it."
Nicole said, "Go ahead, it's not far anyway."
After Stuart left, Josephine couldn't help but laugh and explained what had just happened.
"He locked the marriage certificate in the safe?" Nicole laughed too, "That's so like him. Why didn't you say so earlier? I wouldn't have made him go back, I really thought you two didn't get it."
"If we didn't get it, would he be so happy?" Josephine laughed, "He would cry."
"Yes, he usually doesn't show much emotion, but today he really looks happy."
Stuart quickly returned, bringing the marriage certificate for Nicole to see. Nicole admired it for a long time with her reading glasses before returning it to Stuart.
While the certificate was in Nicole's hands, Stuart kept staring at it.
He looked like a child whose favorite toy was taken away, pitifully.
Nicole noticed and said, "Here you go, can't I even look at it?"
"Of course, you can look." Stuart quickly took it back and put it away. "But others definitely can't see it."
"A marriage certificate, and you treat it like a treasure," Nicole said with a smile.
Stuart cherishing the marriage certificate meant he cherished Josephine. She naturally hoped Josephine's marriage would be sweet and happy.
In the evening, Laura and Steven didn't come to Celestia Springs after all.
Because Jair couldn't leave the military base, after getting the certificate, he went straight back.
Laura joked that Claudia was probably the most miserable newlywed wife. Just got the certificate, and her husband left in a hurry.
But Jair had promised Claudia that after these two days, he would take a marriage leave.
Claudia said it wasn't urgent, they could take the leave when they have the wedding.
Jair said, "Of course it's urgent. There will be leave for the wedding too, don't worry."
Two days later, Jair explained to Claudia the reason behind his urgency. Older than Stuart and no longer a young man, Jair had dismissed his family's attempts to set him up on blind dates, leading his parents to dub him a perpetual bachelor. Now, this once confirmed bachelor had a wife, marking a significant change in his life.
Additionally, Jair was often stationed at the military base, which meant he seldom saw his wife. With their marriage certificate, their union was legally recognized, making all their actions legitimate.
Consequently, Claudia stayed in bed for several days.
The trip to Celestia Springs was naturally postponed. The happiest person was Steven. He never thought getting the certificate would be so smooth.
Thanks to Stuart and Josephine. Thanks to Stuart's call, thanks to Josephine and Laura being good friends.
Thinking of this, Steven felt he should do something good too.
He picked up his phone and called Rex.
Rex had been abroad working on a project, busy and overwhelmed.
After some small talk, Steven said, "I have something to tell you."
Rex rubbed his temples, "What?"
"Josephine got married."
Rex's hand stopped, "What?"
His previous tone was casual, but now he was tense.
Steven said, "I said, Stuart and Josephine got their marriage certificate."
Rex didn't say anything.
Steven added, "Before, she was single, it was okay for you to pursue her. Now she's married, if you do anything, it would be unethical."
