Kneeling for a Second Chance Novel

---- Chapter 322 The staff at the city hall said, "If you have something to deal with, you can come back later. Let the next couple fill in their forms first." Valeria tugged his hand and moved aside with Sebastian. Mallory was stunned for a moment. "Sebastian, why do I hear a woman's voice next to you? Where are you right now? What forms are you filling in?" "I'm with Valeria. We're at the city hall." Sebastian tightened his grip on Valeria's hand and led her outside. Mallory froze for a while before reacting, "Wait.

You don't have to come anymore, Sebastian!" She braced herself against the wall, feeling unsteady on her feet. The news hit her like a bombshell. No wonder Martha's mood flipped so suddenly earlier. No wonder she suddenly wanted to get a private chef, rearrange the dining room, order bouquets of flowers, and even dye her hair. "Don't come to the hospital. Mom's fine. Just get your wedding registered first," Mallory said. Then, she lowered her voice and whispered, "Don't let her get away again. Seal the deal quickly.

What if she suddenly changes her mind tomorrow?" ---- Mallory had accidentally voiced her inner thoughts. Of course, she knew that her younger brother had lost his rationale for this woman. Even in the ICU, all he mumbled about was Jane or Valeria. Now, he was down to just signing the papers. He was so close, but what if Valeria suddenly didn't want him anymore? Sebastian hadn't even fully recovered yet but had chased her all the way to Broburgh City. And now, after all of that, he was about to succeed. "Don't worry, I'll take care of Mom," Mallory mentioned..

She was about to hang up when she heard a soft voice come from the other end. "I won't run, Let's go to the hospital first." Mallory didn't expect to be heard even after she lowered her voice. By then, Sebastian and Valeria were already in the car. He set the phone aside and switched on the loudspeaker when he started the engine, so both of them clearly heard Mallory insisting that Martha was fine. Sebastian pressed his lips together and glanced at his watch. It was almost noon, which was the city hall's closing time. He stopped the car, took Valeria's hand, and walked back to the city hall.

---- Both of them wore light-colored shirts when they took a photo to remember the day. The photographer asked them to smile. Valeria's lips curved in a soft, faint smile, while Sebastian smiled brighter than ever, showing his teeth. When they received the photo, Valeria took a look at it. It was the first time she'd seen him smile like that. It hardly seemed like him. That cold, distant face of his was startlingly handsome when he smiled. Now that she was thirty, she was finally marrying the man she wanted to marry when she was seventeen.

Looking at the certificate in her hand, she suddenly felt dazed. Sebastian plucked the file from her grasp and slipped everything into his pocket. "Hey..." Valeria still wanted to look at it for a little longer. However, he had already adopted his usual expression. Whether he was happy or not, the curve of his lips still gave him a cold, sharp temperament . His face betrayed very little of his emotions. He rarely laughed out loud. Yet at that moment, his eyes couldn't conceal the delight brimming within him. Obviously, he was going to keep the certificates safe.

He ---- would lock them ina safe back home. "You look a lot younger when you smile," Valeria commented.
