Chapter 648
Sophie and Colby did not have their IDs ready for the marriage certificate.
On the way back, Colby’s face was grim.
Sophie couldn’t help but steal a few more glances at Colby and asked, “You… didn’t know you needed your ID to get married?”
“I… have no experience.”
Colby regretted it, but it was too late. If he had known they both needed their ID to get married, he would have carried them with him every day.
Sophie couldn’t help but chuckle,
Perhaps provoked by Sophie’s laughter, Colby suddenly turned the car around.
Sophie was stunned, “Colby! Where are you going?”
“Home.”
The home Colby referred to was the Costello family home.
When the two arrived at Lennon’s study, Lennon paused from watering his plants, “Get married? Now?”
Lennon was clearly out of the loop, staring at his grandson with a rare look of confusion.
After a while, Lennon put down his watering can, walked up to his grandson, and aimed a playful punch at him, but due to his height, he only hit Colby on the shoulder.
Leaning on his cane, Lennon said angrily, “You young people really don’t take marriage seriously!”
Sophie tried to smooth things over, “Grandpa, Colby was just talking. I haven’t…”
“Quiet!”
Lennon cut Sophie off, then pointed at Colby and said, “Marriage is a big deal! Did you propose? Did Sophie agree to marry you? Did you offer a gift? Have you prepared an engagement party? What about the wedding planning? Nothing’s ready, so why should she marry you!”
Sophie was stunned by Lennon’s barrage of questions at Colby. She thought Lennon was against their marriage, but it turned out it was for this reason!
“When it comes to courting a girl, you’re nowhere near your
father!”
After pondering for a moment, Colby said, “All my assets are already transferred to Sophie’s name, and I’ve already proposed. Sophie has accepted me.”
Saying so, Colby lifted Sophie’s hand that wore the ring.
Lennon merely glanced at it and then said, “Tha?
your personal business! Did you involve the Costello family? Did you inform me? No, right? Since you didn’t inform me, now you can get as far away as you can! Until I’ve prepared the engagement party, you’re not allowed to sneak off and get a marriage certificate!”
After that, Lennon leaned closer to Sophie and whispered, “The law has specifics about the division of assets after marriage. Having the wedding before the marriage certificate means all the gifts and dowries belong to your pre–marital assets. Colby won’t be able to touch a penny, girl. You could take this opportunity to get a bit more from him!”
Hearing this, Sophie chuckled dryly. She glanced at Colby next to her, who said unhurriedly, “My grandpa is right. Moreover, with the Costello family and the Russell family’s engagement, all my money is in Sophie’s hands. As for the additional gifts and wedding, we’ll have to trouble Grandpa to handle it.”
“What’s there to worry about? Splurging on my granddaughter–in–law? I’m all for it! Let’s have a grand celebration!” Lennon agreed without hesitation.
