Chapter 427
Xyla’s gaze fell on Rosalie. Her half-smile made Rosalie feel uneasy.
However, Rosalie still offered a polite smile. This was her first time meeting Sebastian’s mother. Xyla looked well-maintained; she was a beautiful woman with great poise. Sebastian’s excellent appearance must be inherited from his parents.
“Very nice,” Xyla said calmly. “When are you two getting married?”
As soon as the topic of marriage came up, Rosalie tensed up. She smiled, and said, “Seb and I are still discussing it. As for the wedding, we…” “What’s there to discuss?” Geoffrey interrupted her.
Rosalie was stunned for a moment, then smiled. “Marriage is a big deal. Of course, it needs to be properly discussed. And then…”
“Aren’t you in love with each other?” Geoffrey interrupted her again. “Isn’t the reason you announced you’re together and came here in a hurry to explain the situation to us is so you can get married as soon as possible?”
Sebastian, worried his father might make things difficult for Rosalie, spoke up. “Dad. Rose means…”
“Let me finish speaking first.” Geoffrey frowned. “Why are you so anxious?”
Sebastian wanted to rebuke Geoffrey, but Rosalie gently tugged on his sleeve, signaling him to stay silent.
“Mr. Carter, please go ahead,” Rosalie said cautiously, afraid of exposing herself.
Geoffrey raised his head slightly. “Since you two have made things so clear to me, I think there’s no need to waste any more time. You should get the marriage certificate first thing tomorrow morning and officially become a married couple.”
Rosalie’s mind reeled. “What did you say? Get the marriage certificate tomorrow morning?”
She hadn’t expected things to move so quickly, and thought she could delay getting married for a while.
“That’s right,” Geoffrey said. “Since you’ve established your relationship, why wait any longer?”
“But Dad.. Sebastian said. “That’s
too fast. We haven’t prepared
anything. Even if Rose and go
marded, we need to plan it properly. Otherwise, it would be unfair to her.” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
“Don’t worry, she won’t be treated unfairly,” Geoffrey said. “Get the marriage certificate first, then you
can plan the wedding. Otherwise et
who knows how long it will be delayed. You youngsters tend to procrastinate, so someone needs to push you.” Content belongs to NovelDrama.OrgText © by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Moreover…” Geoffrey continued. “If you don’t hurry up and prove it to me, how will know you’re not deceiving me? And if you get married quickly, I can tell the Joneses that my rebellious son got married behind my back. So if you two get married tomorrow, it will solve all our problems. It’s decided.” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

Sebastian sensed Rosalie’s hesitation, and even fear.
“Dad, I think…” he said again.
“What now?” Geoffrey asked sternly. “Are you deceiving me? I’m just asking you to get married as soon as possible. Are you unwilling?”
“Mr. Carter.” Rosalie stood up. “Rest assured, we’ll get the marriage certificate first thing tomorrow to prove we’re not lying. We’re serious about each other.”
Only then did a smile appear on Geoffrey’s face, and he nodded. “That’s more like it. You should be decisive about some things.”
Perhaps she felt too pressured, Rosalie felt her stomach churning. She quickly turned to Sebastian. “I need to go to the restroom.” Sebastian noticed Rosalie’s pale face. He quickly stood up, taking her hand. “I’ll take you.”
