Bella saw Ryan walk over. His handsome face looked worn out.
“Oh my, Ryan, what’s up with you? Were you trying to dig a tunnel in your room last night?” Bella teased him.
“I… Sigh. Don’t mention it.” Ryan sighed gloomily.
How should he say it?
If he complained about Bella’s brother in front of her, Ryan would put his best friend in a difficult spot.
Bella could sense that there was something on his mind, but since he did not want to say it, she stopped pressing further.
“Do you want to eat? I’ll make another portion for you if you want.” Justin turned back to look at him, his hands not stopping the work.
“I don’t have an appetite. I’ll skip breakfast.”
Ryan walked to the refrigerator and opened it, taking a bottle of iced water and then downing it in one go after twisting off the cap.
Then he crumpled the empty bottle and took a deep breath. “Bella, Justin, I want to get married to Carrie today.”
The couple were stunned. “What? Today?!”
“Yes. Today.”
Ryan’s gaze was intense, and his voice was deep and hoarse. “I’ve thought about it. Dragging things would only bring more trouble. I don’t care if my family agrees to it or not. I’ll get my marriage license with Carrie first, so we will be legally married. She will be my wife and the Hoffman Group’s lady boss. Even if my grandfather disagrees, there’s nothing he can do about it. I’ll compensate Carrie with a grand wedding of the century after I get a hold of the Hoffman Group. Carrie will understand my decision.”
Justin frowned slightly, forgetting to flip the eggs in the pan. They end up burned.
“Justin, my documents are at home, so I’ll return home to get them later. Where’s your family’s register? Can you get it today?”
“Ryan, what are you planning? You’re acting weird today.” Bella’s eyes narrowed.
“Why? I just want to marry Carrie. Why are you two looking like that? Shouldn’t you cheer for me and give me your support?” Ryan’s brows furrowed anxiously.
“Ryan, you’ve been dating Carrie for a while, and you’ve always been able to wait. Why did you suddenly become so restless?”
