Harvey then handed the civil rights officer a blank piece of paper and pen. "Sir, can you please write an unofficial certificate of marriage for my Uncle Theo? Even though it won't be legally recognized, I'm sure he can still accept it."
Everyone in the room froze upon hearing this.
Bonnie understood what Harvey was trying to do and immediately glanced at Theo. " Theo, you're not a kid anymore, and you should know if the civil rights officer tells you he can't do this for you, he means it. If he's willing to write you a marriage certificate right now, at least it'll be something, right?"
Theo froze for a moment, contemplating this, then nodded reluctantly, like a child who had to give in to an undesirable request.
The civil rights officer had no choice but to do as Bonnie and Harvey said and scribbled a 'marriage certificate' for him, even drawing a fake stamp to add to its credibility.
Theo held this certificate close to him, like a newly obtained treasure, and muttered," Roanne... I've finally fulfilled your wish. From today onward, you're my wife... You can finally rest in peace now..."
Bonnie let out a sigh, staring at this crazed man, and escorted him out of the building like a child together with Harvey.
However, to their surprise, Rachel had not left yet.
At that moment, she was standing at the curb, calling someone on her phone repeatedly while glancing at her phone once in a while, as though she was waiting for someone to pick her up.
Bonnie furrowed her brows and was about to approach her when a silver sports car screeched to a halt in front of her.
The window was lowered, exposing a man's handsome face. "Dr. Liddell, what made you change your mind and agree to the date my grandfather set up?"
This man...
"I was feeling a little bored, so I decided to try something new." Rachel curled her lips into a smile
