Chapter 229
“Well, we’ll just go with it for now.”
A faint smile flickered in Conrad’s eyes. “Alright.”
The car pulled up to the entrance of the residential complex. As Moira was about to step out. Conrad leaned in, his shadow falling over her. Instinctively, she tried to pull away, but there was nowhere to retreat. His hand grasped her chin, lifting her face toward him, and he kissed her.
“Mm…” she murmured. Her hands rested against his chest, attempting to push him away, but the proximity no longer stirred the same discomfort as before, leaving her efforts weak. The kiss lingered until Conrad, fully sausted, finally pulled bark.
Conrad looked at her flushed cheeks and the sparkle in her eyes, enjoying her vulnerable, almost pitiful expression. With a satisfied smile, he unbuckled her seatbelt. “We’ll get the marriage license tomorrow,” he said, a devilish grin on his face.
Moira struggled to catch her breath, glaring at him. “You’re taking advantage of me again!”
Conrad’s grin widened, Tm legally taking advantage”
Unable to argue. Moira pushed open the door and stepped our Conrad watched her walk toward the complex, his smile lingering as her figure disappeared from view. Only then did he drive off
white van, parked nearby, waited until the Maybach had driven a short distance before it slipped into pursuit
Moira agreed to Conrad’s idea to appease her elders and allowed him to arrange for two fake marriage licenses. To make them more convincing, they even went to take wedding photos that morning.
Two days later, the marriage licenses arrived. Aside from the different registration dates, everything else matched the real ones, and Moira finally felt at ease enough to send jane a picture of the license
Jane was thrilled when she found out Moira had gotten the marriage license. She immediately called Page to arrange a dinner for the evening. choosing Carmen’s Kitchen as the location this time.
After a nap, Moira spent her aftemoon catching up on a drama. As the time for dinner drew near, she started to get ready. She searched her closet for a while before carefully settling on a beige dress and applying her makeup
But she felt the makeup looked a little too much once she was done. Maybe it’s a bit too bold for tonight. Looking at the bright shade of red on her lips, she almost wiped it off to switch to a more neutral tone when her phone rang–it was Conrad.
“I’m waiting downstairs. Come on down.”
Moira tucked her phone into her bag, grabbed her purse, and headed out
As Moira stepped outside, she spotted the Maybach parked at the curb. It was just after sunset, and the air was cool. A group of people gathered outside, chutting and laughing
Conrad’s arrival in the car immediately drew attention. When Moira stepped out every eye seemed to be on her, and she felt a blush rise to her checks.
Conrad, however, didn’t seem bothered by the attention. He opened the passenger door for her with a calm mille,
Once inside, Moira realized she was alone in the car. “Where’s Page”
“They’re at the hospital. We’re going to pick them up.”
Moira caught Conrad smiling at her, and her cheeks flushed. “What are you looking at me for?”
“You look beautiful today,” he said, his voice warmı.
Moira turned her gaze away, ignoring him.
With no plans at home, Jane rushed to the hospital early when she heard about Moira getting her marriage license. She couldn’t wait to share the news with Page, and they were soon caught up in a lively conversation abona Moira’s future.
Their charter didnt stop as they got into the car. Feeling slightly awkward, Moira listened as they discussed how many children she might have. She glasiced at Virgil, who seemed unaffected, for using entirely on the road.

Moira thought, ‘Am I the only one feeling awkward about this?’
But then she caught the faint smile tugging at the corner of Virgil’s mouth, and her unease faded. Moira thought. Maybe this atmosphere un’t too bad after all. She couldn’t help but wish that Page was Conrad’s biological mother. Moira thought, Then they’d have a happy life together
