“Of course! You can stare at it as long as you want once we get home.” Michael's grin grew wider as he
razzed me.
Gazing into his eyes, I instantly knew that he was teasing me. It was embarrassing, but the moment I
recalled the fact that we had gotten ourselves the marriage certificate, I found myself not minding the
teasing at all.
“Enough. Let's go in.”
When he saw me rolling my eyes, he decided to shut his mouth and said no more. Yet, the sly grin on
his face never left.
As soon as we entered the living room, we were greeted by the sight of Josephine sitting on the couch
with a grim expression.
For some reason, the moment her eyes fell on the certificate in my hands, I panicked, knowing that she
wouldn't be fond of finding out what we did a few moments ago. After all, for her, I was with Michael for
his fortune all this time.
Josephine then shifted her gaze to my face and asked coldly, “What are you holding?”
My heart raced at her question. Out of reflex, I hid the marriage certificate behind my back, not wanting
her to see it. Unfortunately, my attempt was to no avail, and instead, it had successfully angered her.
“What is it? Take it out, now!”
Her eyes were boiling with rage at that moment.
“I...”
I was hesitant to obey her instruction, knowing that she would be more dissatisfied with me if she knew
about the truth.
Noticing that I was taking a long time hesitating, her temper rose. She rose to her feet abruptly and
snapped, “Don't you have any respect for your elders? Didn't you hear me? Show me now!”
Hearing that, Michael frowned and decided to interrupt with a tinge of fury in his tone, “Mom, enough!
Anna's pregnant. Why are you yelling at her?”
Josephine was taken aback, never expecting Michael to stand up for me at such a moment. When she
regained her senses, she glared at him.
“Michael, is this how you should speak to me? All because of this woman, you are now arguing with me
almost every day. Do you still see me as your mother? Could it be that she is more important than me
in your heart?”
Whenever Michael took my side, Josephine would grow angrier, and in the end, despise me further. I
had discussed this topic with Michael multiple times before, yet he would always brush it off and ignore
me, even telling me that no one could bully me in front of him.
“Mom, if you want me to be nice to you, you should rectify your way of treating Anna first. She's my
woman, not a servant in our house.”
Michael remained unfazed and kept looking at Josephine coldly. Being as assertive as Michael, no one
could threaten him.
“You're getting more headstrong by the day! Are you sure that you want to keep defying me for this
woman? I'm your mother!”
She got even more worked up as she went on. By the time she finished her remarks, she instantly
turned toward me and stared daggers at me. At that, I couldn't help but fidget in nervousness.
Before Michael could say something, I signaled for him to stop by pulling his hand. I knew that he was
trying to protect me, but the more he spoke up for me, the more hatred Josephine would have for me.
“Mom, I didn't mean to hide it from you. It's just that I haven't thought of a proper way to tell you about
it.”
After taking two steps forward, I stopped in front of her. I decided to call her “Mom” after hesitating for a
while, as Michael and I were legally married now.
Josephine frowned upon hearing how I addressed her. Her gaze radiated disgust as she looked at me.
“I have told you before that I'll never acknowledge you as my daughter-in-law, so don't call me that!”
It would be a lie to say I wasn't upset nor livid at her contemptuous remarks. However, I chose to
suppress my anger, not wanting to cause any more arguments.
“I know you don't like me, but we had gotten our marriage certificate. Now that we're a legally married
couple, there's nothing wrong with me calling you that. In fact, it's the way it should be.”
I stared into her eyes and enunciated every single word calmly.
“What? You've registered your marriage?”
At the mention of the certificate, Josephine widened her eyes in disbelief. As expected, anger and
shock instantly flashed across her eyes.
I decided to confess to her despite foreseeing the outcome. After all, sooner or later, she would find out
the truth.
Thus, I showed her the certificate and looked at her expressionlessly. Regardless of how she was
displeased with our marriage, she had no choice but to accept it then. I would be her daughter-in-law
by law unless she chose to disown her son.
She snatched it over hurriedly and started examining it thoroughly. Nonetheless, she could immediately
tell with a glance that it was real.
“Anna Garcia, what did you do to get Michael to agree to this? What do you want from us?”
Josephine held on tight to the marriage certificate while spitting out her words. Her face twisted with
anger as she glared at me viciously.
Her harsh questions made me frown uncomfortably. Indeed, anyone would feel insulted when someone
spoke ill of themselves. Not to mention all those words were also unpleasant and awful.
Hence, I replied calmly, “Mom, I want to be with Michael sincerely, so I hope you can give us your
blessing. Furthermore, don't you realize that the more you target me, the more likely Michael would
quarrel with you?”
Her anger swelled further at my remarks. She then pointed her trembling finger at me and barked, “Are
you threatening me?”
“Mom, you've misunderstood. I've no intention to do so, as I only want you to stop targeting me. From
now on, I am Michael's legal wife, and it won't change unless he divorces me. Thus, I hope that we can
get along well. Otherwise, it will only put Michael in a tight spot.”
