His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire? novel Chapter 827

Dusk settled in as the City Hall, taking into consideration Marilla's fragile health, had kindly allocated a private room for the two lovebirds to formalize their union.

The moment the marriage certificate was in her hands, Marilla's smile blossomed like the first flowers of spring, her excitement palpable as she caressed the cover repeatedly, cherishing it as if it were her most prized possession.

"Here's to a life filled with joy and happiness," the clerk offered with genuine warmth.

The tale of Mr. Jareth Fairhaven and Ms. Marilla Abernathy was one for the ages, known to all.

And their story was only just beginning.

"Oh! Oh!" Marilla's eyes curved into crescents, playfully flaunting the booklet before the man she loved.

"Mrs. Fairhaven, henceforth, I am yours to command," Jareth declared, his gaze locked with hers, every word a solemn vow.

Her cheeks flushed, Marilla looked at him with adoration.

She was unable to speak, but even if she could, he would not have given her the chance.

Jareth's eyes half-closed, he reached out, cradling his love's neck, and kissed her deeply.

The newlyweds posed for a photo, received it on the spot along with a bouquet of flowers prepared by the staff.

Today, Marilla was undeniably the star of the show.

The employees peeked from behind corners, their sighs of envy barely concealed.

Waiting outside, Thaddeus and Evadne approached the newly-wed couple as they emerged hand in hand, presenting them with a gift they had prepared.

"I designed these brooches myself, just for you two."

Evadne handed them over with the same casual grace one might offer apples to children. "These are Alea's creations, you know; others would kill for them, they're priceless!"

Upon opening the box, Marilla's eyes sparkled at the sight of the pink tourmaline and diamond bird-shaped brooch. She hugged Evadne tightly in delight.

Jareth's brooch, a matching blue tourmaline, moved him to laughter, "Once, I would have bid millions for an Alea’s piece and been denied. But today, I receive it freely, all thanks to my lovely wife."

"Ha, as long as you know."

Evadne embraced Marilla, "Oh, and Grandpa called. He wants us over for dinner tonight. He's had Murray prepare a feast to celebrate Marilla's birthday properly."

Jareth hesitated, "Evadne, Thaddeus, could I possibly spend the evening alone with Marilla? Just for tonight?"

Thaddeus and Evadne shared a knowing look and graciously agreed. "Go on, you two. Have a wonderful time. We'll explain to grandpa."

On the ride home, Marilla still felt weak, her splendid dress barely seen before being tucked away beneath a thick blanket.

She curled up in Jareth's arms, clutching their marriage certificate, a sweet smile gracing her lips as she closed her eyes.
