Chapter 887
Moran noticed her discomfort, so he walked over, leaned in a bil, and gently tried to comfort her. Then he attempted to take over the pile of leaflets in Veronica’s hand, not wanting her to continue.
But Veronica was stubborn. She didn’t hand over the leaflets and took a step forward instead, promoting Moran to the impatient parents and politely handing out the leaflets
Watching this scene unfold made Ellinor raise an eyebrow “What do you think, Theo? Are you satisfied with the guy I picked for your sister?”
Theo was surprised to see his arrogant and rude sister willingly helping a poor guy hand out leaflets. But when he remembered that Moran had once had a thing for his girl, his face fell “He’s okay,” he grumbled.
Ellinor retorted, “His parents are intellectuals; he’s handsome and humble, and he never messes around with women. Where can you find such a good guy these days?”
Theo squinted at her with a serious expression on his face. “You seem to know a lot about him. Have you ever considered him?”
Ellinor could sense Theo’s jealousy again. “He’s the most popular guy at school. Girls always talk about him. I just happened to overhear them.”
Theo frowned and snorted “If he’s as good as you say, he wouldn’t look twice at Veronica!”
Well, he had a point. Apart from her family background and looks, Veronica didn’t have much going for her.
But whether he was just being jealous or not, Theo just wouldn’t admit that Moran was a good guy
Ellinor didn’t press the issue and they didn’t go over to Veronica. They just continued to walk around.
What Ellinor didn’t expect was to see the city hall right in front of the school
She watched as a couple walked hand in hand out of the city hall, glowing with happiness and holding their newly issued marriage certificate in hand. They seemed to be discussing where to go to celebrate.
Unconsciously, she remembered when Belinda suggested that Theo take her to get a marriage certificate and his evasive attitude at the time.
Truthfully, she didn’t care about the piece of paper. Her mother’s broken marriage and tragic end had taught her that a marriage certificate couldn’t guarantee love, let alone human nature.
So, whether they got a marriage certificate or not didn’t make any difference.
But thinking about his evasiveness that day made her feel a twinge of discomfort.
“Theo, since we’re passing by, we shouldn’t miss this chance. How about we go get a marriage certificate so we can have it as a keepsake?” She said it casually, as if it were an afterthought.
Theo paused, glanced into the city hall, and then turned to look at her. “Why do you suddenly want to get a marriage certificate?”
His question sounded as if getting a marriage certificate with her was something unreasonable.
Ellinor smirked, “We just happen to be passing by. So you don’t want to?”
Theo gently patted her head, “We didn’t bring our IDs today. We’ll talk about it later.”
Ellinor didn’t let it go. She smiled and teased, “We can ask Collin to bring our IDs. It’s not far from your company.”
Theo pursed his lips and fell silent for a while. His gaze on her deepened, it was filled with a complexity that was hard to decipher.
Ellinor wasn’t dense. His silence alone was enough for her to understand his intentions.
