Chapter 189 Let’s Get Married, Cam

In his mailbox, an unopened email from Josh lay waiting quietly.

It was an electronic scanned copy of a marriage license. There were two signatures on it along with the time when it was certified. The other copy was the current marital status of an American citizen and a few family photos. The attachment also included Elijah’s résumé.
