The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)

Standing there for a while longer, more and more couples began to line up behind them.

Soon, the line started to stretch almost into the street, yet the doors of the registry office remained shut.

Thalassa pulled out her phone to check the time; it was already nine o'clock. Why hadn't the registry office staff arrived yet?

Her heart, which had been calmed by Lysander's soothing presence, began to flutter with anxiety as time ticked by. She couldn't shake off a sense of unease, especially after her conversation with Rosalind yesterday.

Thoughts of Rosalind's words made her stomach churn with worry. What if something prevented them from getting their marriage license today, and they never got another chance?

Despite mentally preparing herself for this moment, Thalassa couldn't help but feel nervous about any unexpected twists that might arise.

Lysander, noticing her anxious glance at her phone and her overall restless demeanor, gently rubbed the top of her head. His deep, soothing voice had a calming effect, "The registry office usually opens at 9:30; we still have half an hour. No worries."
