like all the warmth had been drained out of the air around him.
"Maxwell, what's going on? We agreed on this, didn't we? Of course, I want them to be on board. I'm just curious about what you told them," Mona quickly explained. She couldn't shake the feeling that something was off with Maxwell today-he seemed colder than usual She didn't know what was up with him, but thankfully, she had enough warmth for both of them. After everything she'd gone through in her past life, she knew Maxwell better than anyone. She wasn't scared of him anymore. "Nothing, let's just go." Maxwell's tone was short, but he still opened the passenger door for her, making sure she didn't bump her head as she got in.
The ride to the city hall was silent, with only the whooshing sound of the wind filling the space between them. Mona had no clue what to talk about, while Maxwell was still brooding over the thought of her wanting to reconcile with Teddy.
Maxwell knew deep down that Mona was only marrying him out of spite toward Teddy, but understanding that didn't make it hurt any less. The thought alone was enough to dampen his mood.
At first, he'd been over the moon when Mona agreed to get engaged-he'd been so thrilled he couldn't sleep that night. But now, he couldn't help but wish that one day, she'd truly fall for him.
He wasn't sure when that would happen, but he believed it would. And when it did, they could have the wedding they both deserved. But as for the marriage license? That couldn't wait any longer.
Given their status in Nathontown, getting the marriage license was a breeze. No lines, no hassle-just some signatures, a couple of stamps, and a quick photo. The whole thing took less than six minutes.
As they stepped out of the city hall, Mona stared at the marriage license in her hands, feeling a strange sense of calm. The position every girl in Nathontown dreamed of was now hers. Glancing at the man beside her, she couldn't help but feel a wave of satisfaction. After they got into the car, Mona, sitting in the passenger seat, hesitated before finally calling out, "Max." It felt a bit awkward, but he was her husband now-getting closer seemed natural.
