Returning from the Dead Chapter 1979
Still Stumped, Susan raised her gaze and looked at Ian in confusion. “If I don’t call you by your name, h- how should I address you, then?”
“You’ll address me as ‘Hubby; of course!” Ian couldn’t help but instruct blatantly.
Susan was stunned, and her face flushed crimson immediately.
“But we haven’t gotten our marriage certificate yet. If I address you so, I—”
“Marriage certificate?” Ian seemed like he had just realized something.
With a slight cock of his brow, he suddenly let go of her and said, “Wait here.”
Susan was startled. “What are you doing?”
“I need to make a call.”
“What for?”
“I’m going to get my parents to collect our marriage certificate for US.” With that, Ian ran up the stairs. He was really going to call home and get his parents to collect their marriage certificate.
Is he kidding? How could he get his parents to collect our marriage certificate? Susan was amused. She then quickly followed him upstairs and rushed into the bedroom to stop him.
However, when she got there, she saw that he had already switched on the television and contacted Oceanic Estate through video call.
“Oh? Ian, Susan! You’ve finally called, huh? What a pleasant surprise! What have you guys been up to?” Sasha was tutoring Natalie when Ian called. She was over the moon to receive the call from them.
Seeing that, Susan had no choice but to steel herself and greet her future mother-in-law. “Hi, Mrs. Hayes. We… We’ve been busy getting our new house ready.”
“Is that so? Are you guys done with it, then? Are you guys doing it yourselves? If it’s too taxing, I can send some people over to help you guys,” Sasha uttered.
“It’s all right. That won’t be—”
Right then, Ian interrupted and said, “Mommy, you don’t have to trouble yourself with that. I need you to help Susan and me to collect our marriage certificate tomorrow.”
What the hell? I can’t believe he Just drop such a shocking piece of news out of nowhere! Can’t he see that Mrs. Hayes and I were in the middle of a conversation?
Susan was stumped.
Sasha, too, was startled.
Regardless, she was still incredibly happy with Ian’s decision. “You’re asking me to collect your marriage certificate? Have you guys decided on that?
However, I can’t help you guys to collect the marriage certificate. Both of you will have to go to the civil affairs office and do it yourselves.”
Sasha couldn’t help chuckling at how clueless her son was. He’s already twenty-three. How could he not know something as basic as this? I wonder how Susan has been spending her life with him for the past three years. Could it be that she had been the one doing all the worrying for him?
As soon as those words fell, Susan felt awkward right away. Ian, on the other hand, looked utterly confused.
“When you got married to Daddy back then, didn’t Grandpa do everything for you guys? Daddy wasn’t even around to do it,” Ian uttered.
Suddenly, a familiar tall figure appeared on the screen of the video call and fumed, “You brat! Are you done? How could you get someone else to do such an important thing for you? Do you even want to get married in the first place? Where’s your sincerity, huh?”
After he scolded Susan and Ian with a grim expression, he ended the call right away.
Both Ian and Susan fell silent.
After a while, Susan noticed how sullen Ian looked. She tried her best to compose herself, and she tugged on his sleeves. “Don’t be upset, okay? I-I’ll do as you say… Hubby…”
Her cheeks were as red as the glow of dusk. While overwhelmed with embarrassment and awkwardness, she finally addressed him as he wanted.
Upon hearing that, Ian turned and glanced at her.
Meanwhile, in Oceanic Estate, Sasha was infuriated after Sebastian ended the call abruptly.
“Sebastian, what did you do that for? Ian is right, isn’t he? It’s a fact that you didn’t collect our marriage certificate with me. So why are you throwing a tantrum now?” She glared at him angrily to show how dissatisfied she was with what he did back then.
D*mn that bratty son of mine! Sebastian froze momentarily.
“Darling, I was wrong, okay? Why don’t we register for our marriage again?” he asked.
“Huh?” Sasha was pissed off. “What do you mean by that? You’d better say it to me clearly, Sebastian.”
“Well… I mean, I owed you a lot, Darling. I didn’t collect our marriage certificate with you, and I didn’t give you a grand wedding ceremony. I’ve promised you a lot in the past, but I couldn’t make good on my promises because of all the things that had happened.”
“So?” Suddenly, Sasha had a bad feeling about it. Why is he admitting his faults all of a sudden? Knowing how sly and cunning he is, he must be up to something!
