"I am saying that you are leaving this place tomorrow for a honeymoon with your wife" "I am not" his voice was determined as he scribbled his signature on the document. "You are going to. Do you know what others are saying?

This will doesn’t make any sense. “I know it’s confusing and quite ridiculous too. But you don’t know the whole situation that’s why it’s not making sense to you. But to me, I know the reason why my wife did that.” I glanced at him before reading the clause. It says that it’s in Xander’s hands who he wants to marry and how he wants to pursue the marriage.

For everything." "Thank you. For believing in me. For supporting me through all the chaos." "That's what partners do. Support each other through chaos." "Is that what marriage will be? Mutual chaos support?" "Probably. But with better tax benefits." Sophie laughed. "Romantic." "I'm practical. You knew this going in." "I did. It's one of the things I love about you."
