Chapter 824

"Pfft, I can tell that you are about to burst at the seams; Thaddeus, even brushing my hair gets him all hot and bothered."

Evadne laughed, running her fingers through her lustrous hair, perfectly maintained by Thaddeus.

"Jareth, don't sweat the wedding details right now, just get the marriage certificate with Marilla. Cementing your status as husband and wife is what really counts."

The words escaped him, and Thaddeus immediately regretted it, gauging Evadne's reaction.

Fortunately, she didn't seem to mind, her attention was on her skincare routine, dabbing her face with creams until it glistened, so tempting and radiant.

"Don't worry, I'll secure that certificate with ease," Jareth's voice was thick with emotion. "After that, Marilla will be the First Lady of the Fairhaven empire."

"Once Frederic becomes your father-in-law, you'll be walking tall in Elmsworth," Evadne teased with a languid drawl.

"I don't need the Abernathy's resources. I can take care of Marilla on my own, and I can hold up the Fairhaven legacy."

You could get married in one of the most beautiful places to watch the polar light. It'd be just family, which would spare Marilla any social anxiety, and you guys could honeymoon there too, it's a win-win!"

"The polar light." Jareth's heart skipped a beat.
