Andrea Jones bent her head and met his deep, dark eyes, the tides of which were visible again, and her heart beat faster as she reached out to blind him, “What are you thinking?”
Neal Williams grabbed her hand off his eye and held it in his hand, “How many years have you slept in this bed?”
“Many, many years.”
“It smells good.” Neal Williams smiles, “I like it here, we’ll stay here tonight.”
What was it like to sleep in her bed? Quite new, of course, the most important thing is a great sense of satisfaction. This bed was hers for so many years, and now he is sleeping here with her in his arms, as if he had been involved in her past life.
“Do you really want to sleep here? It’s pretty rustic, not as convenient as an apartment.” Andrea Jones was worried that Neal Williams wouldn’t fit in. Her bathroom was already quite small, and the water heater was gas, so the smell would be too much for him to bear when the shower was on.
But Neal Williams didn’t think so and hugged her tightly, “You’ve always slept in my bed, now you have to let me sleep in it again, right?”
“Okay, I’ll let you do that. But there are no pajamas you can wear here …” Andrea Jones ambled up from the bed and smiled at him mischievously, “Why don’t you try on my pajamas?”
“Yeah, well, you’re going to have to be reluctant and not wear anything.” Neal Williams pulled her face down and kissed her, and Andrea Jones tried to hide, but he lost her in a couple of kisses, blushing and panting, every part of her body softened, and she let him undress her.
That night was Andrea Jones’ last single night. In that small flat, in that soft, warm bed, she was with Neal Williams.
The next day, Neal Williams drove Andrea Jones back to her apartment to change clothes, and then took her account book and folded it with hers and headed to the civil affairs office. The small blue stamp on the marital status section reads ‘married’.
Neal Williams’ eyes glanced toward her several times, and she was still flipping through it with interest.
“Mind?” Neal Williams, worried that she was upset, shook her hand, “Don’t look, I’ll let you look all over it later after I cover it with ‘married’.”
Andrea Jones put away the book, rested his head gently on his shoulder, “not mind, just think that the world’s things, but really how you can not think through. When I left two years ago, I would never have thought … you would marry someone else.”
Neal Williams didn’t make a sound, just held her hand tightly, as if somewhat apologetic.
“I’m not complaining about you and Penny Brown getting married, I don’t care at all once I figure it out. Now I’m just sighing that we can be together and really cherish it. I thought that God was going to take away our chances of being together, but I never thought that God would love me all the time and leave me a ray of light.” She leaned on his shoulder and tilted her head to look at the roof of the car.
The sunshade on the roof of the car was open, leaving only a clear glass. Neal Williams didn’t say anything, just gave her a pat on the cheek with his free hand and smiled at the road ahead.
When they arrived, Penny Brown hadn’t arrived yet, and Neal Williams was worried that Penny Brown had changed her mind and something would happen, but Andrea Jones kept talking to him, telling him not to be so anxious. To marry her, to take her for himself, how can he not be anxious? He had been waiting for this day for too long and had stayed up too long. Now I just want to wait for the dust to settle, then I don’t think about anything more.
After waiting for half an hour without seeing anyone, Neal Williams couldn’t sit still. Andrea Jones pushed open the car door and asked him, “Is everything okay?”
“Well, there was a little traffic, so I’ll be right over.” Neal Williams brightened up.
He reached out to Andrea Jones, and when she walked over, he took her by the hand, bent over and got a stack of divorce papers out of the car, locked the car, and walked with his arm around her to the civil office.
There were three people sitting at the civil office. Neal Williams and Andrea Jones went over together, and the middle-aged woman who was doing the divorce swept them off their feet and pointed to the side, “I’m doing the divorce here, go over there to get married.”
“We’re getting married, but we have to get a divorce first.” Neal Williams handed over a stack of papers, holding Andrea Jones in her hand. The middle-aged woman’s eyes swept over to them, “What’s this about? Divorce from who? With her? And then you two come back to get married? I don’t think we have anything to do at the Civil Affairs Bureau.”
The two of them are not like they are not in a relationship to divorce. The man’s words fell, the other two staff members also looked over, along with a few are doing the marriage certificate of the young couple also looked over.
Andrea Jones was so embarrassed that she couldn’t bury her face under her arm.
“Here’s the information, read it over first.” Neal Williams held her and did not let go, only handed over his account book. The middle-aged woman didn’t even look at it and pushed it back, “Only marriages with broken relationships are given a divorce, just like yours, it’s clearly a fake divorce. What? The government has introduced some new policies, and has to force a divorce to get some benefits?”
Neal Williams simply did not even bother to explain, and at this juncture, Penny Brown came in.
“Here you go.” Neal Williams greeted her.
“… hmm.” She didn’t look too good. After all, today is to talk about the divorce, remember when and Neal Williams married here to sign, Neal Williams tense, covered with frost like. The entire Civil Affairs Bureau was scared enough to say that their marriage did not look like a voluntary one, and told them to think twice before signing. At that moment, if it wasn’t for the Williams family who were here to restrain him, he would have just flung his sleeves and left.
At the time, she really thought she and Neal Williams would just go on like that. Marriage would be different, and there would be bondage. But it wasn’t until now that she realized it was more than that. It was a cage. I didn’t pay attention to him, but shut myself up to the vicissitudes. The kind of vicissitudes is not the surface, is the heart. The feeling of being born from the deepest part of the chest, a special torment, at any time can drive people to collapse, drive crazy torment.
Of course, Penny Brown also knows very well what kind of mood Neal Williams is in at the moment. He can’t wait to get to know himself completely.
Her eyes swept over to Andrea Jones beside him and then over to Neal Williams, both of whom had a sweetness on their faces that she could never hope to match.
“Did you bring your marriage license?” Neal Williams asked her.
Penny Brown fished two red books out of her bag and gave them to him. When they got married, Neal Williams dropped his pen and left without looking at her, so of course she kept the two books. Remember when Christina Sanchez said, “If you don’t take it, you won’t get a divorce anyway, the Williams family has no precedent for divorce.”
The actual fact is that you will be able to get a lot more than just a few of the most popular and most popular items. I always felt that after getting married, they were one and the same, and in the future he might need her for whatever he did, and maybe that red book would be useful in buying a house or company. However, the only use of these two books over the past two years has been to get a divorce.
She handed the book to the middle-aged woman, who flipped it over and looked up at Neal Williams, her torch-like gaze falling on Andrea Jones. Wasn’t that look saying that Andrea Jones was ruining the couple’s relationship?
Neal Williams protectively pulled Andrea Jones behind her back, resenting the sight of the middle-aged woman, and simply said, “Please hurry up, we’re in a hurry.”
“Tsk, really, these days there are really all kinds of people!” The middle-aged woman was turning over the material while chattering in her mouth, “Now the negative-hearted man is more heartless than one, this kind of man really do not want to stop. The human-looking, the things they do are really … tsk. The girl, you also do not sad, away from the away, after the better to find.”
The woman was completely unaware of the situation and just kept chattering away, not forgetting to reassure Penny Brown, whose face was embarrassed, not to mention Neal Williams and Andrea Jones.
The man just kept grabbing Neal Williams to talk about how long the material had been read. The ten foot to curse him to death this negative look. And also did not forget to conspiratorially ‘remind’ Andrea Jones, “Do not think that follow you, he will be solid, can abandon a, can also kick you out. Back when you get tired of it, just watch.”
Neal Williams was in a really good mood and really didn’t want to get into it with her, but the more she said, the more she went too far, and Penny Brown was listening and gloating and watching the joke. His face was dark, and he was about to lose it when Andrea Jones tugged at him and said in a small voice, “Forget it.”
Originally this matter has nothing to do with outsiders, and, this kind of thing is not to be able to explain clearly with the other people, their own heart is not ashamed.
Neal Williams was afraid Andrea Jones would be upset to hear, “You don’t mind?”
“Don’t mind.”
“Not upset?”
Andrea Jones just laughed, “What’s so sad about getting married?”
The divorce papers were handed over, and there was no problem, so the divorce was really finalized with the seal. The three people looked at the seal and had their own feelings in their hearts, and Penny Brown, needless to say, had all kinds of feelings in her heart. If it was a mistake to fall in love with Neal Williams and pester him, then the torment she has suffered over the past two years is the punishment for her mistake.
Now, it’s all over.
Neal Williams subconsciously tightened his grip, holding Andrea Jones even tighter. neal Williams took a step closer to him, his face gently pressed against his back, and they smiled at each other.
“All right, the card! Take it!” The middle-aged woman who had been busy counting was still cold and handed them the two cards.
“Thanks.” Even though he was not happy with what she had just said, Neal Williams said thank you in a dignified manner. He took the account book in Andrea Jones’ hand and led her towards the wedding. Penny Brown was left standing in the same place, watching them holding hands – probably this way married couples are really considered married, otherwise marriage really becomes a torture.
The couples in the wedding line over there are throwing all kinds of sympathetic glances at her, and even the middle-aged woman doing the divorce also said, “Girl, you are really good-tempered.”
Penny Brown looked askance at her, said nothing, ruffled his hair, put on his sunglasses, and turned to leave. Happiness is theirs, and they are no longer relevant … half of the relationship!
The person told the two of them to go aside for a checkup before the license was issued because they didn’t have time to do the premarital examination earlier. In fact, the Civil Affairs Bureau was so lax about the premarital checkup that several couples ahead of them who hadn’t submitted their medical documents were allowed to sign the papers anyway. Neal Williams was very upset, but was easily persuaded by Andrea Jones in a few words.
Neal Williams did it first, without saying a word . The doctor came back to help Andrea Jones, Neal Williams rolled up her sleeve and looked at her, “Don’t be afraid, it hurts a little, just bear it.”
