Faux Vows, True Desires

The next day.

Cecilia sneaked out with her ID, secretly meeting Owen.

Owen had arrived earlier, already waiting for her.

Owen was low-key. He didn't drive over, nor did he bring any bodyguards. He was still incognito, just like when they went on a blind date, with huge sunglasses and a mask covering his face.

"Why don't you just wear a black balaclava, only revealing your eyes, mouth, and nose, like a robber? I guarantee no one will recognize you," Cecilia joked after seeing his disguise. "How did you get here?"

"I took the bus."

Cecilia was surprised and said, "That's rare."

Owen: "Let's go in. It's still early, and there aren't many people. Let's get the marriage certificate as soon as possible and leave. I've checked; Gabriel Turner is not around." Gabriel knew Stefan well, and naturally, he also knew Owen.

The fact that Stefan and Lucinda got their marriage certificate was initially leaked by Gabriel.

That rumor-mongering man.

Owen didn't want Gabriel to know about him and Cecilia.

"Sure."

Cecilia cooperated with him.

Naturally, Owen took her hand and led her inside.

Suddenly, Cecilia stopped and turned her head towards a middle-aged man not far away. She said to Owen, "Since I came over, that man has been watching us. What does he want?"

Owen, too lazy to even turn back, answered in a low voice, "That's the butler, Derek. My grandfather sent him to supervise us getting the marriage certificate to prevent me from getting a fake one with you." "Does your grandfather like using Derek's name to trick people?"

"To my knowledge, he only tricked your family."

Cecilia scoffed, "What an honour."

Owen led her inside.

Derek followed in.

Derek watched the two get their marriage certificates throughout the whole process.
