Chapter 2056
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."
Turning to face him, Thalassa looked into his deep eyes. Once, those eyes seemed imprable, making her heart race with fear. Now, they brought her peace.
She pocketed her phone and snuggled closer into Lysander's embrace, choosing silence over words, and sighed softly, a gesture hidden from his view.
Why was she worrying so much? As long as their hearts were in sync, and they both wanted this marriage, nothing could stand in their way-unless Lysander didn't really want to marry her. That was the crux of her anxiety.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
Realizing this, a bitter smile touched Thalassa's lips. She could control her emotions but not Lysander's intentions.
"The staff are here!"
At that moment, someone announced the arrival of the registry office staff. Thalassa lifted her head to see the doors finally opening.
Without a moment's delay, Lysander
took her hand, leading her straight to the registration desk with urgency, as if fearing they might lose their chance.
The staff member greeted them with a smile, "Early birds, huh?"
Thalassa, feeling a bit awkward, managed a smile, "It's our first time; we weren't sure about the opening hours."
The staffer chuckled, "We understand the eagerness of young couples. Don't worry, you'll be done in no time," handing them the registration form.
They quickly filled it out. During the
photo shoot, Thalassa was so
nervous that she sat too far from
Lysander, creating an awkward gap between them.
"The bride should move a bit closer to the groom. It's a wedding photo, not a passport picture," the photographer joked.
Turning, Thalassa realized the distance between them and moved to close it, but Lysander's arm was already around her, pulling her in close.
Now sitting side by side, Thalassa
was taken aback but then smiled, realizing Lysander wanted her closer. The photographer captured this moment perfectly, and soon, their wedding photo was printed, showcasing their happiness.
