Chapter 1987
Taking into account Carrie's health, the City Hall had specially arranged a private space for the couple to finalize their marriage license.
The moment the certificate was handed to her, Carrie's smile bloomed like spring flowers. She excitedly caressed the paper repeatedly with her fingers, treating it as a precious treasure, reluctant to let it go.
"Congratulations on your marriage! Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness and bliss!" The staff sincerely offered their blessings.
The story of Ryan Hoffman and Carrie Salvador was well-known and unforgettable, and yet, it was only just beginning.
"Ah! Ah!" Carrie's eyes gleamed with delight as she cheerfully waved the marriage license at Ryan.
"Mrs. Hoffman, please take good care of me for the rest of our lives," Ryan said, gazing at her lovingly, enunciating each word.
"Mmm..."
Carrie's cheeks flushed. She gazed at him with a dreamy look. She could not speak, but even if she could talk, he wouldn't have let her.
Ryan's eyes narrowed as he reached out, cradled the back of Carrie's neck, and kissed her passionately.
The newlyweds had their photo taken at City Hall and received it right away, with the staff presenting them with flowers.
Carrie was definitely the center of attention at the event today. The staff observed from the sidelines, whispering enviously.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Justin and Bella, who were waiting outside, saw the newlyweds emerge hand in hand. They immediately approached the couple and presented the gifts they had prepared.
"I designed these brooches myself, and I'd like the both of you to have them," Bella said, handing a brooch to each of them, like offering apples to children. "These are Alexa's creations, which are highly sought after and very valuable!"
Carrie eagerly opened the box, revealing a delicate brooch adorned with a pink tourmaline and sparkling diamonds in the shape of a bird.
Overjoyed by the thoughtful gift, she immediately stepped forward and wrapped Bella in a warm, grateful embrace.
Ryan's brooch was a lovely blue tourmaline one that matched perfectly. He couldn't help but smile, feeling deeply grateful.
"There was a time when I tried to buy an Alexa piece for $2 billion dollars, yet I just couldn't get my hands on one. But now, thanks to my wife, my dream has finally come true."
"Hmph, well, at least you realize it." Bella embraced Carrie. "By the way, Grandpa Nigel called earlier. He wants us to have dinner at his place tonight. Uncle Matt is preparing a big feast to celebrate Carrie's birthday,"
Ryan hesitated. "Bella, Justin, can I celebrate Carrie's birthday alone with her tonight?"
Justin and Bella exchanged a knowing look, understanding immediately. "Go and enjoy yourselves. I'll explain to Grandpa Nigel."
On the way back in the car, Carrie still felt a bit weak. The luxurious dress she wore had barely seen the light of day before she had to be wrapped back in a thick, plush blanket.
She curled up in Ryan's arms, tightly clutching the marriage license. Her soft lips curved into a sweet smile as she closed her eyes.
After some time had passed, the man kissed her tender earlobe and gently called out, "Darling? Darling?"
Carrie opened her drowsy eyes and looked up, feeling confused.
"Look outside the window," Ryan said.
She rubbed her eyes and turned to look out the car window, her eyes suddenly widening in surprise.
The busiest street in Savrow had all its LED screens displaying the same image at the same time.
Bright, striking words accompanied by a rain of red roses transformed the bustling concrete forest under the first snow into a romantic and dazzling sea of roses.
"At 5:00 p.m. today, Chairman Ryan Hoffman of the Hoffman Group and Ms. Carrie Salvador, the heiress of the Salvador Corporation, officially tied the knot and became husband and wife."
Pedestrians along the street took out their phones to capture this breathtaking scene.
At the same time, the news shot to the top of Twitter's trending topics, drawing the attention of millions. Tears welled up in Carrie's eyes as she slowly raised her hand, her fingers reaching out to touch the roses on the window.
As night fell, the luxurious car made its way up the mountaintop, overlooking the city of Savrow. Ryan wrapped Carrie in his arms as they admired the starry sky, captivated by the grand and dazzling fireworks display, tailored just for her. This moment made amends for their earlier mishaps.
"Carrie, that day at the amusement park, the toy dog that danced with you was me," Ryan whispered in her ear.
"Ah..."
Carrie's eyes grew wide as she pulled out her phone. With shaky hands, she began typing into her notes.
[I had a feeling... but I didn't want to get my hopes up. I was afraid it wasn't you, and that would've been heartbreaking.]
[Ryan, I have never, for a single moment, stopped loving you.]
He replied, "What a coincidence. Neither have L."
Under the starry sky, they shared a deep and passionate kiss.
Roses were only romantic as a gift, and fireworks truly dazzled when one shared them with someone
special.
