Chapter 784:

Burnet hadn’t expected to encounter Araceli at Silver Fox’s place. Confronted with her question, he hesitated briefly before saying, “I’m waiting for my wife.”

“Your wife?” Araceli’s eyes widened in surprise. “Mr. Hoffman, I didn’t know you were married.”

“Well,” Burnet responded, showing the papers in his hand. “I’m just about to go to City Hall to get married.”

“Oh.” Araceli understood, then chuckled. “But aren’t you in the wrong place? Your wife-to-be is not here.”

Burnet smiled. “I’m not in the wrong place. My wife-to-be is right here in this room.”
