Luna’s face darkened with anger. She stormed forward. “So it’s okay for you staff to gossip behind our backs?

“This is the first I’ve heard that getting a marriage license comes with an expectation to bribe the employees. What a bunch of greedy opportunists.”

“Hey, watch your mouth,” one of the staff replied with a mocking sneer. “We didn’t name names. Since when is chatting illegal?”

Another staff member echoed, “She’s seriously hypersensitive. Miss, if you don’t have the means to impress, maybe show some humility.”

“What did you just say?” Luna’s eyes widened. “Say it again–I will report you!”

Alden’s jaw tensed, a vein pulsing at his temple. “That’s enough. Luna, just get your ID. No need for the drama.”

This whole scene was already embarrassing enough. The longer she dragged it out, the more ridiculous it became.

The staff, now emboldened, smirked as he reached for a drawer. “Your ID, right? Here–it’s been right here with us the whole time. See, if we weren’t kind enough to keep it safe, you would’ve lost it for good.”

Without another word, she turned and fled the hall, covering her face as she cried.

Alden exhaled, frustrated. The awkward stares from the onlookers only made it worse.

“What are you looking at? Never seen a couple argue before?” he snapped, then chased after her.

Behind them, one of the staff snorted, “Those two? No way they last. I’ll bet fifty cents they’re divorced in under a year.”

“Cut it out. Watch your mouth,” someone else muttered. “Talk like that and you’ll jinx yourself.”

The registration hall gradually quieted again.

Outside, Joanne had been waiting in the car. The moment she saw Luna running out in tears, she immediately jumped out. “Luna, what happened? Why are you crying?”

Luna’s cheeks were stained with tears as she looked up at Joanne. “Alden… he…”
