Chapter 62 You don't want to marry me?


Realizing Alaric was serious, Galatea was genuinely scared and even more furious.

"Alaric, we agreed that I would only pose as your fiancée, not actually get married. How can you break your word?" Galatea asked angrily.

Hearing her accusation, displeasure surged in Alaric. He emphasized, "I did ask you to pretend to be my fiancée, but it was you, not me, who said we weren't getting the license. That doesn't count for me!"

"How can you twist my words like that? You never said it explicitly, but your previous actions made it very clear. You told me not to get any ideas about climbing the ladder, so how can you not keep your word?" Galatea retorted with frustration written all over her face.

Seeing that Alaric sped up without responding to her, she spoke up again, "Are you even listening to what I'm saying? Getting a marriage license is a choice made by two people in love. We're just faking it, and I don't want to go through it. Stop the car!"

Before she had already gone through a marriage ceremony with a man, even though he was in a vegetative state and she had never met him, but the procedure was legally valid and arranged through special processing by Mrs. Marigold. Although she now bore the identity of a dead man, namely Stellan Storm, she would eventually have to confront Mrs. Marigold about her child, and the fact that Stellan Storm was not yet dead would surely come to light.

She also didn't know if that man was still alive. If he was, then he was still her lawful husband. Therefore, from both a personal and a legal standpoint, she could not possibly get a marriage license with Alaric!

Alaric's face had darkened frightfully, and he remained silent, his driving speed increasing constantly.

Galatea was somewhat scared by the high speed and clutched the armrest tightly, raising her voice, "Alaric, I know you're used to giving orders, but getting a marriage license is a mutual decision, not something you command, and I obey. I do not agree. I do not want to get a marriage license with you. Did you hear me? I want..."

Before Galatea could finish her sentence, Alaric suddenly hit the brakes hard. Fortunately, she was wearing a seat belt, or her head would have surely slammed forward.

"Is marrying me really so objectionable to you?" Galatea was still reeling from the sudden stop when Alaric loomed over her, his eyes burning with anger, "Do you know how many women dream of marrying me? Now, I'm offering you a status, and it's your good fortune. Don't be so ungrateful!"
