Adam explained, "We got our marriage certificate when we went to Francis."
Bellamy was greatly shocked. Then he came to his senses and was furious. He said with his voice as loud as thunder, "What the heck! Since you two have secretly gotten married, why are you asking permission from me? How dare you!"
Bang!
A loud noise rang.
It was as if something was smashed to the ground.
Sitting in the living room downstairs, Anthea and Meadow looked upstairs from time to time.
Not knowing what Bellamy was thinking, they both felt a little nervous.
When they heard the sound coming, both of them felt tense instantly.
Meadow stood up from the sofa and was about to go upstairs to see what happened when she heard footsteps rang and saw Adam's tall and sturdy figure walking down with his hands in his pockets. Just like when he went upstairs, Adam looked calm but seemed to be vaguely smiling.
Then Bellamy walked down as well.
In contrast, Bellamy's face looked sullen and gloomy.
Anthea wanted to ask Adam secretly, but when she saw Bellamy coming down, she could only swallow her words.
Bellamy sat across from Anthea again. There seemed to be a wave of lingering anger in the corners of his eyes.
Anthea noticed it and couldn't help sit up straight.
Bellamy raised his hand to his mouth and coughed twice. He looked at Anthea to show that he had something to say.
Anthea held his breath and got herself all psyched up.
Finally, Bellamy said, "Anthea, I've discussed with the leading cadre and asked him to accept you as his goddaughter. This way, we can make it public that Adam has married his goddaughter, which will prevent people from gossiping!"
"The leading cadre likes you very much and was happy to make this decision!"
"But if your identities are exposed to the public, you should be well-prepared and bear the pressure you will face!"
After hearing what Bellamy said, Anthea was
stunned.
She looked at Adam in surprise. Adam held her hand and said, "Dad agrees with us."
Bellamy continued, "Since you've already gotten your marriage certificate, you should take some time to bring your adoptive parents from the town, or we'll go straight over to meet them. The two families should meet! Since Adam is insensible, we should be considerate as elders!"
Bellamy's last word was full of sarcasm, blaming Adam.
Now that Bellamy thought about it, he was still mad!
Just now, he understood. When Adam and Anthea went to get married, they got help from two people.
One was the leading cadre, and the other was Meadow. The leading cadre helped Adam with the procedures in the army, while Meadow helped with the family documents. Bellamy was the only one who didn't know!
Bellamy glared at Meadow.
Meadow turned her face away with guilt.
Bellamy suppressed his anger and said calmly, "Adam is a soldier and is in his second marriage. Besides, your identities are very sensitive. You should do a low-profile wedding!" "Okay," Adam nodded.
He already had a plan for the wedding.
He didn't want to make a big fuss and planned to hold a small wedding in Francis. They would only invite parents and some close friends to witness the ceremony.
This time, Anthea felt very flattered.
