Chapter 278 Marriage Certificate
Stella held Abraham tightly. “Abraham, I still have something to tell you,”
“What is it?”
“I didn’t take the pills.”
“What pills! Didn’t I tell the servants to watch you take them?”
He was talking about the medicine for her injury. Either he fed it to her himself, or, when he wasn’t around, the servants supervised her.
The moment Stella heard that, she realized he hadn’t understood what she meant.
But she was a little embarrassed too, I mean those pills.”
Hearing the shy tone in her voice, Abraham finally understood.
“Morning–after pills?”
Stella buried her face against his chest even tighter and nodded. “Yeah.”
Abraham said calmly. You don’t need them.”
Stella blinked. “What?”
“I’ll have someone print out the marriage certificate tomorrow. We can hold the wedding once we’re back in Falvaria. How does that sound?”
In any case, he wouldn’t let her get pregnant before marriage.
Stella’s face shot up from his chest. “Abraham, are you serious?”
Marriage certificate?
The moment she heard those words, her heart skipped hard.
All these years, she had imagined it countless times–marrying him, holding that piece of paper with his name beside hers. But she never dared to say it aloud. She had buried that wish deep in her heart.
She had never realized that the thing she longed for the most could be solved with just one sentence from Abraham.
That secret she’d hidden for years had just been exposed.
“Are you proposing to me right now?” Stella mumbled.
Abraham replied, “Not exactly. But we’ll get the marriage certificate first. After that, you’ll have anything you want.”
Whatever a girl should have, he’d make sure she had it all
Stella was moved. She hugged his lean waist, rubbing her cheek against his chest.
Abraham, I’ve been so sad before.”
All those years hiding her feelings had been painful. But now, with just one sentence, he made it all go away.
Abraham asked gently, “Oh? What were you so sad about?”
He was clearly teasing her, with a smile in his voice.
He knew how she felt, and he had feelings for her too.
Abraham caught her mischievous linle hand. “How old were you back then?”
She was just a young girl, in that confusing stage of growing up, and no one could say how long a teenage crush would last.
Stella’s face turned red.
Abraham cupped her face and kissed her. “You’ve only just grown up. And you’re questioning me about the past?”
Stella grumbled and struggled. In the midst of it, the box Abraham had been holding fell to the floor.
Stella glanced down. “You dropped it.”
Abraham chuckled. “Star, do you want me to use it?”
Stella was speechless. Is it really okay to ask that kind of question so casually!
Fluste
Flustered and not knowing what to say, she just hugged his waist tighter and hid in his arms.
Just then, Abel walked in. He had just stepped into the hallway when he saw Abraham holding Stella and a certain box lying
on the floor beside them.
Abel was left momentarily stunned.
His brain practically exploded. He reacted fast, turned, and immediately walked down another hallway.
But Stella had already seen him. She pinched Abraham’s waist. “Abel.”
Abraham turned around and saw that Abel had already left
1 told you.” Abraham said, “no need to hide.”
Stella protested, “Still, we can’t do this in front of everyone.”
There were so many
so many eyes around.
Abraham let out a low laugh, then scooped her up and carried her straight back to the room.
When he leaned over her, Stella pushed him back. “That thing’s still in the living room.”
What if someone sees it?
Abraham replied, “We can’t use it
“What?”
“It’s the wrong size.
Stella’s face flushed hard again. She quickly tried to pull the blanket over herself, but Abraham didn’t give her the chance.
He held her face gently and asked, “Still hurt?
“Not too much today,” Stella whispered.
Eddie’s medicine actually worked pretty well.
Abraham smiled.
Seeing his smile, Stella quickly added, “But I’m still injured. I am still hurt.”
