"Finnick, put me down." Vivian squirmed slightly.
They had already arrived home, but he was still carrying her. Hence, she felt slightly flustered.
"Why? Are you shy? You're my wife. Why can't I carry you?"
Finnick shot her a wicked grin, as though his evil plan had been successfully carried out.
"I didn't mean it that way, but we're already home. When are you planning to put me down?" Vivian explained to clear up the misunderstanding.
"Alright, alright." Finnick smiled at her before reluctantly placing her on her feet.
"Mommy, Daddy, our teacher said that marriage comes after a proposal, so when are you going to get married?" Larry blinked innocently at his parents.
"Very soon," Finnick answered gleefully.
In fact, he had long since made the wedding preparations and was only waiting for Vivian to agree to marry him before setting the date and location.
Everything was ready. All that was left was the bride's consent.
"Mm... I have something to tell you." Vivian peeked at Finnick, slightly embarrassed.
"What's wrong?" Finnick's brows furrowed in confusion.
Then, he gently led her to the sofa, where they sat down to have a family discussion.
He was, in fact, worried that Vivian's feet would hurt from standing too long in heels.
Vivian's heart warmed at Finnick's attentiveness.
She shifted closer to him and began, "Actually, I haven't gotten my household register delivered back to me. It's still in A Nation."
Vivian looked slightly abashed when she explained that she had brought along her household register for legal reasons when she moved to A Nation back then.
She only remembered that her household register wasn't with her when Finnick mentioned marriage.
On the other hand, when Vivian brought this to light, Finnick felt that it was a mistake on his part.
He was so caught up in preparing the surprise that he failed to check if she had all the required documents for marriage.
For example, to register their marriage, they would need their household register among other legal documents.
Finnick gave Vivian a helpless look.
