The assistant glanced at the schedule and asked, “Mr. Alden Graves, I've already booked the appointment for

you and Ms. Thorne to get your marriage license tomorrow. Should we proceed as planned?”

Alden nodded. “Yes. Go ahead.”

With the wedding just around the corner, it would be impossible to delay any further.

On the day of the registration, Luna had taken extra care with her appearance. She twirled in front of the mirror

and turned to him expectantly. “Alden, does this white dress look good on

me?”

He barely looked up. “It's fine.”

“What about this one?” She tried again, holding up another

option.

Alden still didn’t glance her way. “That one’s fine too.”

His indifference was painfully obvious.

Luna’s mood, once bubbling with excitement, instantly plummeted. “Alden, you didn’t even look,” she said, her

voice trembling.

Her lips quivered, eyes shimmering with unshed tears. “We're getting married today. Don’t you care at all? Aren't

That finally pulled a smile from her lips, the tears drying before they could fall. “Really? Then how about this

one? | think it makeslook a little nicer than the one I'm wearing now.”

Alden gave it a casual glance and then froze.

That white dress... He had picked it up while traveling on a business trip. He'd bought two identical ones-one for

Luna and one for Kaia. At the time, he thought-Luna would look stunning in it, so he’d grabbed an extra.

Kaia wore hers often, and the people in their social circle hadn't missed it. She’d been ridiculed countless times

for “copying Luna’s style".

Alden rubbed the bridge of his nose, clearly uncomfortable. “Maybe try something else. That one’s kind of old

now. The one you're wearing looks better.”

Luna frowned, suspicious. “Old? But Alden, | never wore it. It’s still brand new. | was saving it for a special

occasion.”

“Enough,” Alden suddenly snapped, irritation flashing in his eyes. “Don’t wear that one. It’s not flattering. It's

from years ago. Just wear the one you already have on.”

His sudden impatience caught her off guard. Luna lowered her eyes, forcing down the lump in her throat.

She never believed there was such a thing as an “outdated” white dress. But she didn’t want to upset him

further, so she

the dress and returned it to the wardrobe.

Finally, the two of them made their way to City Hall. Coincidentally, it was the sregistration office Kaia and

Lucien had used.

Joanne had insisted on tagging along, making a whole event out of it. “Alden, Luna, I'll record everything for

you,” she said cheerfully, phone already in hand.

When Luna finally held the marriage license in her hands, she felt a wave of relief wash over her. It was real now.

The sstaff member who had handled Lucien’s paperwork last twas already waiting when they arrived,

clearly informed that the heir to Graves Group was coming. He was hoping for a generous tip, just like last time.

Not only him—even the cleaning lady from before was lurking nearby, anxious to beat the crowd and claim a gift

for herself.

Luna stood shyly at the oath platform. “Alden, let's say the vows together, okay?”

Alden gave a faint frown. He wasn’t keen on the idea, but he also didn’t want to disappoint her. “Fine. Let's do

ie.”

Luna blushed as she repeated the words line by line, her voice soft and earnest. Alden repeated them too, but

his voice was flat and emotionless, as if he were delivering a speech at a company board meeting.

Joanne frowned behind the camera. Something didn’t feel right.

She said, “Alden, can you say it with a little more emotion? Con, that doesn’t count. Start over.”

The staff nearby quickly stepped in with a smile. “Would you liketo record it for you? We do this kind of thing

all the

time.”

Joanne considered for a second, then nodded. “Sure. Thank you so much.”

Alden’s irritation had reached its peak, but with Joanne constantly interjecting, he had no choice but to

cooperate-at least a little better than his earlier robotic performance.

Joanne still wasn’t thrilled, but she knew asking for a third take would be pointless. Alden clearly wasn’t going to

indulge them any further.

“Alright, we're done filming. Take a look. Do you like it?” the staff member asked eagerly, hopeful for a tip.

Joanne gave a polite but restrained smile. “It’s okay, | suppose. Thank you.”

She turned away without another word and headed back to join Alden and Luna.

The staffer blinked, confused.

Wait, that is it? No thank-you gift? Wasn't this supposed to be sbigshot CEO?

The others nearby had similar thoughts. As the twalked dat

Luna felt a pang of frustration but didn’t argue. The two of them walked back toward the hall.

Inside, the staff hadn't even noticed their return.

“Hey,” one whispered, “did Mr. Alden Graves hand out any gifts today?”

“Nope. Honestly, just because their last nis Graves doesn’t mean they're all like Mr. Lucien Graves.”

Someone else perked up. “Are you sure? Not a single gift?”

“Not a thing. | even helped them record the vows-nothing.”

“Con, you all need to stop. There was never any rule that said they had to give us anything.”

Just then, one of them spotted the couple standing at the entrance. The smile froze on his face.

“You two cback?” His voice faltered.
