Chapter 389 The Bureau of Civil Affairs
Chapter 389 The Bureau of Civil Affairs
Lord Ho thought that Brian was unwilling to come back, so he sent many people to the military. He had
decided to ask people to forcibly tie him up and take him back if he resisted. But to Lord Ho's surprise,
Brian obeyed his order.
Brian came back after Lord Ho told his people to inform him.
Sarah found out about it and knew clearly what was behind Brian's sudden change of attitude.
She might be very happy about this if she didn't know the truth, and she would even wonder whether
Brian had changed his mind.
Now, Sarah knew that Brian agreed to come back to marry her not because he changed his mind. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
There was a planned conspiracy against her. The man, who had agreed to marry her, wanted to marry
someone else by taking advantage of getting the marriage license first with another woman.
Sarah was depressed about this, but she felt helpless.
Brian was being submissive, agreeing to marry Sarah just because of that plan.
When she knew that Brian had come back, Sarah became even more morose.
She was in a bad mood. Unpleasant things happened one after another, which made Sarah's heart
ache.
She couldn't accept the fact that Amy had died. Now, she also had to face the issue with Brian, and it
was harder for her to accept that.
Since she had no way to avoid it, she could only go with the flow.
Every man was born for his own interest.
Although Linda pitied Sarah, Bun, who took care of her all the time, was the one whom she cared about
the most. Because of this, Linda had to try to destroy Sarah's wedding and help Bun marry Brian.
After Brian went back home, Lord Ho asked him to visit Sarah first. After all, they were living in a
modern society instead of an ancient one wherein the bride and the bridegroom couldn't see each
other before the wedding.
Brian and Sarah could see each other before they got married. It was better for them to meet each
other after a month of separation.
Brian nodded and agreed.
"Oh, right. Grandfather, give me the household register. I'm going to get the marriage license with
Sarah today because we are going to get married tomorrow, "
Said Brian to Lord Ho.
Lord Ho pondered for a while and glanced at Brian. He thought that Brian's words made sense
because he shouldn't treat Sarah unfairly and give her a hard time before the marriage. So, Lord Ho
handed the household register to Brian and told him, "Here. Be careful."
Brian took the household register along and went out.
He then arrived at the Shen clan's house. The people of the Shen clan were very happy as they heard
that Brian was coming over to visit Sarah.
But Sarah was unhappy. Seeing Sarah pull a long face, Lord Shen got confused and asked, "What's
wrong, Sarah? Why are you unhappy? You are going to get married tomorrow. Brian is coming to see
you today, and it must mean that he cares about you."
"Really, Grandfather?"
Sarah just smiled. She couldn't explain the things she knew to her grandfather. Just as many people
could only tolerate their pains in secret without telling their parents about them when they grew up,
Sarah also couldn't tell Lord Shen those plans against her.
Sarah was very upset. She didn't know what to do. She liked Brian from the bottom of her heart, but
she was sad about the thing that Brian had planned to do to her.
She wondered why the person whom Brian only liked and wanted to marry was Bonny instead of her.
There were three major illusions in life that could make one frustrated - your phone was ringing;
someone was calling you from behind you, and the one you loved also loved you.
Sarah once imagined that Brian might love her as she did, but now she knew well that Brian didn't like
her at all.
"Please invite Master Brian to come in."
After he saw that Sarah didn't react to Brian's arrival, Lord Shen shook his head and wondered if Sarah
suddenly had no interest in getting married. 'She loved Brian very much before. But why is she so
unhappy now? It seems that she isn't passionate about the wedding after all. Is she beginning to regret
it?' thought Lord Shen.
Sarah glanced at Lord Shen and smiled grimly. She said, "Grandfather, what if the person who doesn't
want to get married is Brian, not me?"
"That's impossible! How could he be unwilling to marry you? Even if he was unwilling to marry you
before, he cannot think of such nonsense now. The marriage has been settled. Neither of you can
refuse the wedding. We have also sent out all of the invitation cards, "
Said Lord Shen while touching Sarah's head.
Sarah nodded, without saying anything.
Then, Brian came up to Lord Shen and Sarah. When Brian saw Sarah, there was no expression in his
eyes, but Sarah saw that Brian looked at her with a bit of disgust.
"Brian, " greeted Sarah gently.
"Hmm." Brian just nodded and then looked away from Sarah. He turned his head to Lord Shen and
greeted him.
"Lord Shen, I'm here today to bring Sarah to the Bureau of Civil Affairs to get a marriage license. We
are going to get married tomorrow, so it is best to get a marriage license before our wedding. What do
you think?"
Upon hearing Brian, Lord Shen immediately winked at Sarah to imply that Brian came here to take her
to get a marriage license with all his sincerity.
Lord Shen believed that Brian wanted to marry Sarah. And if he didn't want to, he wouldn't have
wanted to take Sarah to get a marriage license in a hurry.
"Well, that's great, " Lord Shen nodded.
But Sarah was sad as she looked at Brian's face.
"Brian, I want to ask you one last question. Do you really want to marry me?"
Brian looked at her and replied, "Of course."
"Okay." Sarah smiled and looked at Brian. She wanted to remember how Brian looked like now.
"Let's go. It is getting late." Brian checked the time. He didn't know when the Bureau of Civil Affairs
would be closed, but he discussed with Linda and Charles that they should arrive there at two o'clock in
the afternoon. It would not be good if he was late. Moreover, Bun was also waiting for him.
Linda, Bun, and Charles were ready.
They were only waiting for Sarah and Brian.
Paul also got ready to carry out his task. After Sarah got into Brian's car, some drugs similar to the
knock-out drops would volatilize inside the car to put Sarah in a coma.
After she passed out, Paul would take Sarah away.
Then, Brian and Bun would go to the Bureau of Civil Affairs to get a marriage license. It looked like a
simple thing, but there were many important details involved in it.
The most important part was tomorrow's wedding.
They would try to make Sarah believe that she and Brian had gotten the marriage license today. In this
way, they could make sure that all would go well with the wedding tomorrow.
Brian took Sarah to his car, and the car slowly drove toward the Bureau of Civil Affairs. Sarah was
especially familiar with the place, so she might have discovered their plan if Brian didn't drive toward
that place.
