Chapter 1466


    After leaving Yvette''s store, Vanessa received a phone call from Julien''swyer, Pedro Murphy. He


    wanted to meet up with her to talk about the ownership transfer of the house. Without any further


    questions, Vanessa asked for the address and rushed over.


    When Vanessa arrived at the appointed ce, Pedro went straight to the point. He took out a


    document and asked Vanessa to sign it.


    Vanessa asked, "Mr. Murphy, do we have to be in such a hurry?"


    Pedro said, "Miss Love, you should know very well that Mr. Kyle doesn''t like to drag things out.


    Anything that needs to be settled today will not be done the next day."


    "That''s true. He''s the one giving away the house. If he''s not worried, why should I be, right?"


    Vanessa picked up the pen and signed on the documents.


    "Thank you for your cooperation, Miss Love!" Julien had asked him to get the ownership transfer


    done that very day, so Pedro had gotten everything ready. All he needed now was Vanessa''s


    signature.


    However, Vanessa was a little worried. "Mr. Murphy, I still have some questions in regard to the


    property."


    Pedro said as he kept the documents into an envelope, "Miss Love, if you have any questions,


    please do ask. I will answer them all for you."


    Vanessa then voiced out her biggest concern, "So, the current situation is that Julien had given this


    house to me, and based on my understanding, the taxes imposed on properties acquired through


    sale and purchase and by way of gift were different. Although the taxes imposed at this point in time


    were lower, if I were to sell the house in the future, I will have to pay a hefty amount of taxes, right?"


    Pedro said, "Well, Miss Love, you can rest assured on this matter. Mr. Kyle has taken this issue into


    consideration and he will transfer the ownership of the house by way of sale and purchase, and he


    will pay the taxes instead. He won''t let you spend an extra penny. After the house is transferred


    over to you, it will be yours, and you can do whatever you want with it."


    "I see. Thanks, Mr. Murphy!" After receiving a positive reply from Pedro, Vanessa was relieved. But


    before she couldpletely feel at ease, she heard Pedro say again, "Miss Love, I''ve just received


    the news that Mr. Kyle is now on his way to the General Register Office. We should go over now."


    "The General Register Office? What for?" Vanessa knew the answer, but she was not willing to


    believe it.


    Pedro said mercilessly, "Miss Love, I''ve told you clearly on Mr. Kyle''s behalf about the purpose of


    transferring the house to you. Now that you''ve epted the house, why do you think you''re going to


    the General Register Office for?"


    Vanessa knew why she had to go to the General Register Office, but she did not expect Julien to be


    this impatient. He had just announced the engagement the day before, but he was asking her to


    marry him already. He might as well just announce that they were getting married instead.


    Pedro added, "Miss Love, the driver is waiting for you now. Can we go over now?"


    "Yeah." Pedro was right. Julien offered her a house in return for her to marry him. Since she had


    epted the house, how could she not marry Julien?


    When Vanessa and Pedro arrived at the General Register Office, Julien had just arrived too.

    Vanessa and Julien met each other at the entrance, but Julien had only given Vanessa a nce


    before walking into the building. It was as if she was just another stranger.


    Pedro hurriedly caught up with Julien, leaving Vanessa far behind.


    Vanessa was not bothered by Julien''s attitude at all. Her marriage with Julien was a transactional


    anyway. It had nothing to do with love. She did not expect that they would be as intimate as the


    other couples who came to register their marriage.


    "Honey, thank you for marrying me. I swear, I''ll only love you for the rest of my life."


    "Hubby, are you not going to love me for the rest of your life if I don''t marry you?"


    "No, you have too many choices before marrying me, but from now on, you''re my wife. I am your


    only choice. How can I not treat you well and love you for the rest of my life?"


    "Then you should carry me!"


    "Yes, my beloved wife."


    When Vanessa was walking into the register office, she bumped into a couple, who had just gotten


    their marriage certificate. When she walked past them, Vanessa overheard their conversation.


    A few years ago, Vanessa had imagined that she and Julien would be like them too. He would hold


    her hand and they would get married happily.


    However, things did not turn out that way at all. At this very moment, they were walking into the


    register office one after another. They were ignoring each other, as if they were strangers.


    "Miss Love, pleasee with me." A young employee greeted Vanessa. Vanessa followed him to a


    VIP room, and the moment she stepped into the room, she saw that Julien had already sat down.


    Seeing that she hade in, Julien still remained silent.


    The employee who was attending to Vanessa asked her to sit beside Julien. Vanessa took a nce


    at him and like always, Julien''s face was emotionless. No one could figure out what he was thinking


    about at that moment.


    "Mr. Kyle, Miss Love, we''ll now take a picture of both of you then we will proceed with the marriage


    registration." The employee had been working at the register office for quite some time now. The


    couples who came to register their marriage usually could not get their hands off each other.


    However, this couple was so distant that it felt like they were here to get divorced.


    While they were getting their picture taken, Vanessa sat still while Julien cooperatively


    straightened his back.


    The photographer reminded, "Miss Love, could you please lift your head up a little?"


    When Vanessa slowly raised her head, she could hear the photographer saying, "Please smile.


    Getting married is a huge lifetime event, after all. Don''t look all depressed like this. Both of you want


    the photos to turn out nice, right?"


    Listening to what the photographer had said, Julien did not respond while Vanessa tried to force a


    smile. However, her smile looked even more awful than a crying face.


    Since the first photo didn''t look good, the photographer took another picture. Seeing that the second


    picture was even worse, the staff had no choice but to pick the former.


    Although Julien and Vanessa were forcing their smiles, they were both good looking. Hence, the


    picture did not turn out too bad.


    The registrar asked, "Mr. Julien Glover Kyle, do you take Miss Vanessa Love as yourwfully


    wedded wife?"


    Julien said, "Yes."


    The staff then asked Vanessa, "Miss Vanessa Love, do you take Mr. Julien Glover Kyle as your


    lawfully wedded husband?"


    Vanessa did not answer.


    Vanessa wanted to marry Julien since she was seventeen years old. However, she wanted to marry


    him in the name of love. She did not want to deceive him like that nor did she want to marry him


    because of money.


    In fact, she had already thought it through the night before. If he wanted to marry her, she would just


    marry him and do whatever he wanted. But now that they were actually going to be awfully


    wedded couple, Vanessa once again backed off. She did not want to lie to him so she said, "I''m


    sorry. I haven''t thought it through yet."
