Harvey then handed the civil rights officer a blank piece of paper and pen.
“Sir, can you please write an unofficial certificate of marriage for my Uncle Theo? Even though it won’t be
legally recognized, I’m sure he can still accept it.” Everyone in the room froze upon hearing this.
Bonnie understood what Harvey was trying to do and immediately glanced at Theo.
“Theo, you’re not a kid anymore, and you should know if the civil rights officer tells you he can’t do this
for you, he means it.
If he’s willing to write you a marriage certificate right now, at least it’ll be something, right?” Theo froze for
a moment, contemplating this, then nodded reluctantly, like a child who had to give in to an undesirable
request.
The civil rights officer had no choice but to do as Bonnie and Harvey said and scribbled a’ marriage
certificate’ for him, even drawing a fake stamp to add to its credibility. Theo held this certificate close to
him, like a newly obtained treasure, and muttered, “Roanne … I’ve finally fulfilled your wish.
From today onward, you’re my wife… You can finally rest in peace now…” Bonnie let out a sigh, staring
at this crazed man, and escorted him out of the building like a child together with Harvey. However, to
their surprise, Rachel had not left yet. At that moment, she was standing at the curb, calling someone on
her phone repeatedly while glancing at her phone once in a while, as though she was waiting for
someone to pick her up.
Bonnie furrowed her brows and was about to approach her when a silver sports car screeched to a halt
in front of her. The window was lowered, exposing a man’s handsome face.
“Dr.
Liddell, what made you change your mind and agree to the date my grandfather set up?” This man…
Bonnie remembered him; he was Caleb Crawford, the wealthiest man in Lincoln City and heir to the
Crawford family fortune. At one point, Luna had been tricked by Heather into going on a blind date with
this man, but to everyone’s surprise…not only had Caleb and Luna hit it off in a platonic way, but in the
end, he became close friends with Joshua, who was his competitor.
Bonnie had always been puzzled by this but never asked Luna about what happened.
“I was feeling a little bored, so I decided to try something new.” Rachel curled her lips into a smile
FSD8/JBP opened the passenger side door.
“What’s wrong? Did you change your mind about me?” “What is there to change my mind about? To be
able to marry such a beautiful, smart woman like you-a doctor, no less—is a blessing for both my family
and me, so what is there for me to change my mind about?” Caleb raised his brows teasingly at Rachel
and added, “Where would you like to go for dinner tonight?”.
“Anywhere you’d like.
Perhaps you’d like to bring me to your old haunts where you used to bring your ex-girlfriends?” Caleb
started the engine, smirking.
“Me and my exes used to play it a little more exciting; I’m scared you might not be able to take it…”
“There’s no such thing as that.
Try me.” Then, without warning, Caleb’s car roared to life and sped off like an arrow.
Bonnie remained motionless, gaping at the silver car that had disappeared, then turned to glance at
Theo.
“You… Why don’t you go back, calm yourself down, then apologize to Rachel? Judging from the way she
and that Caleb guy talked… I think she means it when she says she’s given up on you.” Theo glanced
coldly in the direction the car had left in, clutching the marriage certificate in his hand.
“What she does is none of my concern anymore.” Then, he curled his lips into a bitter smile and met
Bonnie’s gaze.
“What would you have done if you were in my shoes?”
