Chapter 508 Getting The Marriage Certificate!
Her words took Karl by surprise. “What do you mean by that, Nora?”
Nora raised her eyebrows. She was about to speak when Ian said, “It means that the Smiths have someone who is even more impressive than Black Cat! Don’t think that you can keep going on and on about Black Cat just because you have Black Cat in your organization. We’re talking about the children’s marriage now, yet you keep going on and on about Black Cat. Can you get any more annoying?!” His words made Karl choke at once, but then he suddenly reacted and said, “This isn’t right, Smith. I am the one marrying my daughter to your nephew. You should be the one begging me instead! Why should I be the one coming over and talking to you?”
Ian, however, scoffed, “If you don’t want to talk to me about it, then I will go and talk to Tanya.”
As soon as he said that, Karl hurriedly said, “No, no, talk to me!”
Tanya and Karl had only just acknowledged each other, and their relationship was not very good. Karl couldn’t adopt the attitude of a father-in-law in the Smiths at all!
However, Karl would never allow his daughter to marry into the Smiths so quietly, either!
While he was thinking about it, Tanya and Joel entered the room walking hand-in-hand.
Both of them looked like they were in love with each other, and Tanya’s eyes looked like they were smiling
Joel’s smile had also become bigger and even more attractive than in the past. At the sight, Nora asked, “Did something good happen to make the two of you smile like that?”
Tanya glanced at Joel and blushed a little, though she didn’t say anything.
Joel walked up to Ian and Karl. He smiled and said, “Uncle Ian, Dad, Nora, all of you are here. It just so happens that I have good news for
you.”
All three of them were taken aback.
Karl was the first to react. “What did you just call me?”
Joel took out a folder and handed it to them. “Tanya and I registered our marriage and got our marriage certificate today. We are husband and wife from today.”

!
The news was simply too astounding—or at least, Nora was dumbfounded. She looked at Tanya incredulously.
Karl was also stunned. “You… Aren’t the two of you being a little hasty about this?” Tanya shook her head. “We’ve already let each other slip by us for five years. We don’t want to let another five years slip by us.”
Her words made Karl shut his mouth.
Ian stared at the two of them, so happy that even his eyes had turned a little red. He patted Joel’s hand and said, “That’s great! Great!”
While the bunch of them were all moved, Karl said with dissatisfaction, “The wedding…”
Tanya said, “I originally didn’t want to hold a wedding because I felt that it was pointless when we already have a child… but Joel didn’t agree to it. So, we’ve decided to invite our friends and family for a simple wedding a week later!”
Hearing this, Karl lowered his head. There was a faint layer of mist in his eyes. “Hmph, at least you know what’s good for you, kid!”
Joel smiled and said, “Dad, Uncle Ian. I have some details of the wedding that I want to discuss with the two of you.”
While speaking, he, Ian, and Karl entered the study.
Tanya stayed where she was and looked at Nora. She said, “Nora, I also have something to ask of you for the wedding-” Nora raised her eyebrows. “What is it?”
At night.
Justin left the Hunts’ manor.
As soon as he left, Mrs. Hunt walked over with the help of the housekeeper. She sighed and said, “It’s only been a day that he didn’t see her, yet he’s already unable to hold himself back?”
The housekeeper said, “Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Besides, with the news of the Smiths looking for a son-in-law, Master Hunt must be terribly anxious.”
Mrs. Hunt snorted. “I didn’t hear anything about them looking for a son-in-law, but I did hear something else!” “What?”
“As expected, the Smiths’ young lady is a hillbilly who has never seen the world! She had the audacity to challenge the alternative medicine circle! She can’t even see what she’s made of anymore! If someone like her becomes the matriarch of the family, she will definitely offend a lot of people and make a lot of enemies for the Hunts! My head hurts the moment I think of this!”
As the housekeeper held Mrs. Hunt’s arm, she asked, “She challenged the alternative medicine circle?”
“Yes!” Mrs. Hunt sighed and said, “Alternative medicine is extensive and profound, and the knowledge within is amazing. Do you remember the Zabe Corporation’s Calming Pill? Wasn’t it much more effective than modern medicine? From where exactly did a little surgeon like her find the courage to challenge the alternative medicine circle? The way I see it, the moment Dr. Zabe’s disciple takes action, he’ll crush her beneath his feet!”
The housekeeper frowned. “Will that bring trouble to the family?” Mrs. Hunt sneered, “It won’t go as far as that, but I do think this is something that’ll do her good! After all, once the competition is over, both the alternative and modern medicine circles will detest and despise her! With that, the Smiths will finally realize the position she’s in. It will be much easier for the Hunts to propose marriage after that!” The housekeeper was surprised. “You’re still intending to let her marry into the family?” Mrs. Hunt sighed. “Look at how Justin is behaving. If I don’t let her marry into the family, I will lose my grandson and great-grandchildren! I find the current situation pretty good. We’ll let outsiders suppress her arrogance first!”
“That’s true…”
After the conversation, Mrs. Hunt said, “Get ready. We will go to the Smiths to propose marriage two days later.” “Yes, ma’am.”
–
At the Smiths.
“They’ve got their marriage certificate?” Justin’s surprised voice traveled over through Cherry’s phone.
Cherry nodded. “Yeah! So Mia’s mom and dad can be together forever now! Daddy, will you and Mommy get a marriage certificate too?”
Nora was sitting on the sofa and reading a book about medicine. Upon hearing this, she subconsciously looked at her cell phone, upon which she heard Justin say, “As long as your mother agrees to it, I can do it anytime.”
Nora blinked and smiled.
Cherry and Pete chatted with Justin a little more. Then, Justin asked, “What is your mother doing?”
Cherry replied, “… She’s reading!” “Pass the phone to your mother.” Cherry handed the phone to Nora.
Nora put down the book and leaned back on the sofa lazily. “What is it?”
Justin coughed. “Put the phone off of speaker first.”
Nora raised her eyebrows and glanced at Cherry and Pete, who were looking at her eagerly. The two little fellows were just like two huge third wheels.
She turned off the speaker mode. “Speak.”
“Nora, I miss you.”
Nora: “!!”
When she heard this, she subconsciously glanced at the two kids again. For some reason, her cheeks suddenly felt a little warm.
She stretched out her hand and fanned herself. Then, she said, “And?”
“Come down.”
Nora was taken aback at his words.
She subconsciously got up, opened the door, and went downstairs. She left the living room and walked towards the parking lot.
It was very dark outside.
She had just walked under a big tree when someone suddenly grabbed her wrist. She was held down, and then a man’s familiar aura pounced on her.
Nora wanted to say something, but the next moment, her lips were sealed…
