Chapter 30


    She froze for a long time. After a while, she forced a smile and asked tentatively, "You''re not joking,


    are you?"


    "I''m not joking. Didn''t you agree to pretend to be married? How do you call it a marriage when we


    don''t even have a marriage license?" Tobias'' face was very solemn. He did not look like he was


    joking.


    Natalie''s slender body quivered.


    Natalie thought the agreement Tobias mentioned was just an act they would put on to please the


    others. She thought they would just sign a contract but she did not expect Tobias to get a marriage


    license.


    Registering as husband and wife was a big deal to Natalie.


    Natalie felt that she needed to make things clear if Tobias was serious about registering their


    marriage.


    "Do you even know me? You''re rushing to get a marriage license just like that?" Natalie blinked.


    "Currently, I''ve only known you in bed but I can get to know everything elseter."


    Tobias was expressionless even when spouting shameless remarks.


    Natalie blushed when she heard him. She sniffed and stated, "Are you sure you want to register this


    marriage? To tell you the truth, I''m so poor that I don''t even have enough money to go to college."


    "It''s okay if you''re poor. That won''t be a problem since I''m rich."


    "And my past is veryplicated."


    "Howplicated can it be?"


    "I''ve done a lot of odd jobs. I used to work in a coffee farm and I sold wine in a shady bar."


    "That''s why I think it''s right to choose you as my wife," Tobias replied tly.


    "Firstly, you are so young but you''re physically fit to handle a job in the coffee farm. Secondly, you


    were working in a shady bar but you were able to keep your chastity. I am seeing you in a new light


    for what you did." Tobias'' dark eyes met Natalie''s gaze.


    Natalie forgot to breathe.


    After a long pause, she smiled and uttered, "Thank you."


    "Let''s get our marriage license."


    "Okay." Natalie suddenly recalled something upon finishing. She reminded him, "It''s a weekend


    today. I don''t think the city hall is open today."


    Tobias had a smug and arrogant look on his face. He replied, "It doesn''t matter whether it''s a


    weekend or not when I need to get my license."


    Natalie was instantly dumbfounded.


    As expected, the staff had been waiting for them when they arrived at the city hall. They finished the


    procedure quickly and Benjamin distributed some choctes to the staff in the city hall.


    Usually, newlyweds would bring some choctes or sweets for the city hall''s staff. However, few


    people were generous enough to give each person a massive gift box of expensive choctes.


    Natalie stole nces at the choctes frequently.


    After getting in the car, Tobias suddenly asked, "Do you like that brand''s choctes?"


    Natalie was taken aback and she smiled wryly, answering, "I''ve never tried such expensive


    choctes before. It''s a French brand, right?"

    The choctes were bought by Benjamin, hence Tobias did not know where they were from.


    Natalie bit her finger and continued, "When I was a freshman, there was a very beautiful girl from a


    wealthy background in our ss. She brought back a lot of chocte of this brand when she came


    back from her vacation in France."


    Tobias stared at her as he listened intently.


    Natalie suddenly had the urge to tell him everything. She continued, "She gave the choctes to all


    our ssmates except me. She said that it was pure dark chocte and a poor person like me, who


    couldn''t afford to enjoy quality chocte, would not be able to appreciate it. In the end, she decided


    not to give me any of it."


    A self-reproachful smile appeared at the corner of Natalie''s lips. She added, "I told you that I''m very


    poor." A glimmer shed across Tobias'' ck eyes. After a while, he patted Natalie''s head.
