NovelAppAshton didn't utter a word, just nodded at Kimberly's command and headed to the room to grab their family
records.
Alaric was over the moon, while Hertha's eyes widened in shock. Turning to her mother, she exclaimed, "Mom,
are you serious?"
"Sweetie, when have | ever joked about something like this?" Kimberly chided, her tone playful yet firm.
In just a few moments, Ashton was back, handing over the documents to Hertha. "Go on, the sooner you leave,
the sooner you're back. Your mom's pork rib stew is almost ready."
Hertha was taken aback, glancing at the documents and then at her father. Were her parents really that eager to
see her married off?
"What are you waiting for? Take these and go! It's 1:40 now, the registry office opens at 2. If you hurry, you can
be the first in line. Get it done and cback hfor lunch," Kimberly urged, nudging Hertha's arm, signaling
her to take the documents quickly.
Hertha was still dazed. She had been eagerly waiting for Alaric to cback with the documents, but as time

Once doubt creeps in, that intense anticipation just fades away.
Just when she was about to give up, Alaric returned, documents in hand, urgently wanting to marry her.
She was confused, unsure whether to hold on to her anticipation or give in to her disappointment.
While Hertha hesitated, Alaric took the documents from Ashton, wrapped an arm around her shoulders with an
intimacy that faced both Ashton and Kimberly, and said with a smile, "We'll get going now. We'll try to be back
soon for Mom's delicious pork rib stew."
With that, he took the documents, still arm in arm with Hertha, and headed for the door.
Julian and Helena took a few steps after them, "Daddy, Mommy!"
"Julian, Helena, be good, just play around the house, and wait for your daddy and mommy to cback,"
Kimberly stopped them, guiding them to sit by the dining table.
Hertha didn't say a word, letting Alaric lead her away.
She was both confused and a bit dazed.
Was she really getting married to Alaric? It felt surreal, like a dream.
After the anticipation had been gradually worn down during the wait, the moment they were actually heading to
the registry office didn't excite her as much as she had imagined.
On the contrary, Alaric was thrilled, his face beaming with a smile all the way there.
For safety, he didn't speed, driving at a normal pace until they reached the registry office at 2:10 PM.
