Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 1863: Extra: III

[Extra 5: Hugo and Kiara II]

Relationships often started with a date or courtship, with the man expressing his interest in the woman. But Kiara and Hugo’s relationship was something she would call strange.

He didn’t confess; he didn’t even tell her he liked her.

All he did was show up every single day, helping her, learning her world, and just being there for her. When she realized she had fallen in love with him, it was too late. She was too deep—too deep in trouble.

So, the day Hugo finally confessed, it was something she should’ve expected.

Standing in front of the civil marriage bureau, Kiara slowly turned her head to her side. There, standing next to him, was Hugo, donning a formal polo shirt and slacks.

"This... this is the party we’re going to attend?" she asked in disbelief, scoffing.

He blinked innocently. "No."

"Huh?"

"The party is somewhere else, but before we go there, we need to register our marriage first," he said in a knowing tone. "Then, we go to the venue. Everyone’s already in there."

"..." Kiara opened and closed her mouth, rendered speechless.

All she knew was that they would be attending a dinner party. Thinking that the venue was far, they left earlier to avoid being late.

"Let’s go," Hugo tipped his head, holding her hand to take her inside. "I already talked to someone inside, and they’ll let us register our marriage last minute."

"Wa—wait!" Before getting dragged inside, Kiara instinctively snatched her arm away from him.

Hugo paused and looked back at her. "What’s wrong?"

"What’s wrong?" Kiara scoffed. "Hugo, you can’t just keep doing this!"
