Chapter 497

Ethan held me tightly and kissed me passionately. Passersby glanced at us and whispered among themselves, but I didn't care anymore.

All I wanted was to embrace the man I loved. Even if the world were coming to an end, I would never let him go.

Ethan and I ran all the way to the courthouse. After a simple ceremony, we received our marriage certificate. Just like that, I became Ethan's wife, and he became the pillar of support for the rest of my life. As we walked out of the courthouse, I clung tightly to him. I felt so happy that I could almost faint.

Wrapped in the warmth of our bliss, I believed our future would be nothing less than perfect.
