Daddy, Chasing Mommy Back is On Us! novel Chapter 430

Pierre threw her a glare. “What are you laughing at? How dare you laugh! We would have been home by now if it weren’t for you!” It’s all this idiotic woman’s fault.

“I have every reason to laugh! Things have never gone so smoothly for me in my life!” she exclaimed.

What? Did things go smoothly today? We had to go through so many struggles just to get these certificates! “I thought you were the one who started nagging when you saw the bad weather this morning. You complained about the jam and the lack of noodle restaurants; how did anything go smoothly for you?”

“It’s a lot better in comparison to what I had to go through in the past.” Selena turned to look at Pierre. “This is the first time that things have ever gone so well in my life.”

Pierre let out an unimpressed scoff.

“According to my mom, she had to go to the hospital for four days in a row, complaining of stomach pains, before she finally gave birth to me on the fourth day! I would encounter car accidents every time I had to rush to an exam as a child, and things would only become worse every time I get worried about a situation. The same pattern repeats itself in my relationships, don’t you think? I thought that everything would be perfect after I finally fell in love with a man, yet the situation didn’t go as planned. I didn’t just have my lover snatched away from me; I was even close to losing my life then! It’s the same with you—think about all the pains, struggles, and near-death situations we had to encounter before finally getting our wedding certificates!” She patted the piece of paper in her hands. “That’s why today is truly a lucky day.”

Pierre was impressed by how optimistic Selena was. It’s one of my favorite traits of hers. I hope that she will be able to employ the same beliefs and attitudes when she is faced with other issues in the future. He abruptly slammed on the brakes right then. The couple felt their bodies jerking forward before their seatbelts pressed them back into their seats. There was a car crash that happened just in front of them! Pierre would have hit the car in front of him if he had stepped on the brakes just a second later. Selena turned around to meet gazes with him then. “Hehe. Calm down, calm down. We have to keep ourselves calm to avoid any unnecessary conflicts.”

The children were all fast asleep by the time they got home. Selena and Pierre hadn’t expected to spend an entire day’s worth of time just collecting their marriage certificates, but then again, they were probably the only couple who needed so much time to complete the task.

Selena yawned loudly as she walked into the bedroom. “I can finally get a good night’s rest!”

But Pierre tugged onto the back of her shirt then. “Did you think we’re done now that we’ve gotten our certificates?”

“What else do we have to do?” Selena was worn out after her long day. “You’re not telling me to light candles and decorate our room to adhere to some wedding night traditions, are you? I don’t think there’s any purpose in that since we had slept together a long time ago,” she mumbled.

“Don’t you want to plan a wedding?” He raised an eyebrow as he looked at her.

“A wedding? Oh…” She nearly forgot about it. According to Astorian traditions, a marriage certificate was merely a private acknowledgment of the union between the couple—the couple would only be recognized as a proper, married couple once they hosted a wedding ceremony. Couples wouldn’t consider themselves married if they collected the certificates without hosting a wedding. Pierre didn’t intend to host a wedding initially, but he then thought about how it would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for Selena. He wanted Selena to have everything that any other person had. Furthermore, he was the heir of the Fowler Family—their relatives might grow suspicious if he got married without hosting a grand wedding ceremony.

They decided to proceed with the ceremony, and they decided to make it quick. The couple, therefore, began to pick out decorations for their wedding. Planning one’s wedding was a tedious and cumbersome task, and Selena quickly lost all patience in getting the job done. She simply selected the food to be prepared before she told her wedding planner to handle the other details. In order to save them some time, she went online to pick out her wedding gown. Fortunately, this was her forte—she knew what sort of gowns would fit her well since she designed wedding gowns herself. It was nearly 2.00AM by the time they got all of these matters arranged, so the couple hastily went to bed.

…

Many in the Fowler Family were pleased to hear of Selena and Pierre’s marriage, but many were unhappy about it. Helen was one of the unhappy ones. She knew that it was only a matter of time before John would hand Fowler Corporation over to Pierre now that Pierre had gotten married.
