Kevan continued reassuring her, saying, "Our marriage will remain confidential and will only be revealed to our respective families. We can terminate it anytime if you have any issues with my family."Larissa no longer hesitated and replied, "Deal!"...New Year's Day was a public holiday, and naturally, the City Hall was closed. However, Kevan somehow managed to find a way to expedite their marriage registration on that day. While Larissa was quite comfortable throughout the whole process since she had been through it before, Kevan was the "novice" and was overly nervous. The photographer even had to remind him multiple times to relax his stiff smile during the photo session. In the end, they could only select one photo where Kevan looked relatively natural from the dozen or so shots taken.Once they received the marriage certificate, she briefly glanced at it and casually slipped it into her backpack. On the other hand, he stared at their wedding photo for a long time, even gently c

Larissa was captivated as she looked at the selfies, feeling her heart racing."How do they look? Are they good?" Kevan asked, leaning in closer to get a better view of the photos on the phone. His warm breath brushed against her face, tickling her senses.The instant she realized the proximity and her disarray, she quickly moved a foot away, trying to distance herself from his embrace. Only then did her heartbeat gradually return to normal."They turned out great," she replied nervously, avoiding his gaze. Despite noticing her reaction, Kevan remained composed. He smiled and said, "That's good."She forced herself to focus solely on her phone, intentionally avoiding looking at Kevan, who was sitting beside her. She selected one of the photos Kevan took and uploaded it with the marriage certificate to her Facebook post, restricting its visibility to Lana alone. Accompanied by the caption, "We're married!" Larissa concluded with a cute emoji to add to the effect. Kevan watched as she m

Kevan didn't care. He clapped, and two waiters appeared out of nowhere. Then, they served them food.The main course consisted of a tender steak served with a glass of wine. As Kevan raised his glass, a deep, captivating light gleamed in his eyes. "Cheers to our marriage," he said to Larissa. Larissa gently clinked glasses with him. "Cheers to our marriage." They exchanged glances with a smile and finished the wine in a gulp. The neon lights illuminated the night, casting a vibrant display of colors. Larissa cut her steak and looked outside. With genuine admiration, she remarked, "It's beautiful here.""If you like it here, we can come whenever you like." Kevan stared at her, and his tone was gentle.Puzzled, Larissa turned to look at him and met his burning gaze. It made her heart pound, and she could feel her cheeks burning."That's great," she murmured, her voice tinged with a gentle softness as she lowered her head.Suddenly, the music stopped, and the chandelier ove

"Huh?" Sebastian stepped on the brakes. His complicated feelings could not be described in words.The boss called him out of the house this late at night just to drink?He really wanted to turn back, but he refrained from doing so—he was rather satisfied with his job and had no intention of jumping ship now.Parking the car at a convenience store that runs 24/7, he went inside and walked around. "There's only beer. You want any?""Yes," Kevan said.Sebastian straight-up brought a whole box.Kevan took two cans and gave him one."You're so lonely that you needed me to drink with you?" Sebastian poked fun at him.Kevan opened his beer using the pull tab, then placed it to the side. This act of his confused Sebastian. "You're not drinking?""Let's get down to business first." Kevan's expression was stern, and Sebastian immediately straightened up and shifted into an attentive position."Take down all TV shows and movies by Summer Entertainment from VisualBox tomorrow.

Halting in her footsteps, Larissa turned her head with wide eyes, only to see the man she had lost contact with for the whole night snoring on the sofa.His coat was missing, his tie loosely hanging around his neck, and quite a few of his shirt buttons were unbuttoned. His shirt was wide open, exposing his pecs.However, Larissa's attention was drawn to the red lipstick mark on his neck.Even though she knew that she had no right to hold him accountable or be jealous in any way, she found that she was unable to move her feet. Her heart felt like it was being crushed by something, and Larissa could not breathe, her mind completely blanking out.The large sofa was small for Kevan, and he turned in discomfort, scaring Larissa as well as bringing her back to reality.It was late. She should not delay any longer.Looking away, she hurriedly left through the door, which closed with a loud thump.Kevan, who had been deeply asleep, slowly opened his eyes.…Once the New Year holidays
