Trapping Him
Inside one of the private rooms of the registrar's office, Luo and Noah were in a serious talk with the officer assigned to them who was assisting and counselling them at the same time.
"Did you both come here by your free will?" the officer asked and Noah immediately said, "Yes."
The officer looked at Luo, who first looked at Noah before she said, "Yes?" with a questioning tone that made the officer crease his forehead.
"You are not sure with your answer?" the officer directly asked and Luo snapped out as she immediately responded, "No… No…"
The officer furrowed and asked, "No?"
Luo then instantly corrected, "No, I mean I'm sure I'm here on my own freewill."
The officer nodded, then asked more questions to the two of them before he finally let the two proceed with their signing of the certificate.
Luo would sneak glances at Noah as he signed and stamped the marriage certificate with his seal.
'There's no turning back now!' Luo mused as she felt the sudden jitters in her body when the officer handed her the certificate for her turn to sign it.
Luo gulped and exhaled loudly. The officer stared at her and said, "Make sure you really wanna do this because marriage is not a simple thing that's why we often reconfirm if both girl and the boy agreed to do it willingly."
Luo looked at Noah and noticed his face darkened. She then looked at the officer and with an awkward smile mumbled, "Oh I want to marry him it's just that I'm a bit too nervous."
The officer chuckled and said, "Well then if that's the case then you can take your time to sign it…"
Luo shook her head and said, "No… I will sign it right away. He said he will take responsibility for me so I will happily let him do that."
Noah inwardly heaved a sigh of relief seeing Luo finally signed the marriage certificate. The officer congratulated them both.
Soon the two of them left. Luo walked first, and she flinched when she felt Noah's hand on hers, clasping their hand firmly.
"Since we are married then I'm allowed to have any kind of intimacy with you now, right?" he murmured as they walked hand in hand back to his car. Luo gulped because her heart could not accept the sudden act of sweetness. Her heart was cheering on how she made the right decision to marry the man she loved.
But her brain sarcastically whispered, 'It's just a simple holding hand, so what's the big deal?'
"What do you want to do next? If you want, we can go to your parents' house and introduce me first as your boyfriend so we can take things slowly with them." Noah suggested since he was aware Luo grew up in a conservative family.
"How about you? What do you want to do next?" Luo nonchalantly asked while her brain suddenly became busy on how she would introduce Noah to her parents? Her father would definitely scold her and say why she didn't let Noah court her in their house so they could meet the man first during the courtship.
Her face twitched because her mother's disappointed expression already popped up inside her head. Her parents would often remind her they were not against her having a relationship, but as much as possible she should let men court her and visit her in their home formally so they could also meet each suitor of hers.
She did not notice how Noah chuckled at her questions but she heard him utter, "If you will let me decide what to do next then we will end up going back home inside my room on the bed."
Luo knew what he meant, so her face turned deep red. Well, nothing was new since Noah had been very vocal about how much he desired her body, but still it always made her blush. She considered it as a good compliment and was not offended at all because not all women could be desired by Noah as how Noah was desiring her.
Noah was even willing to do everything just to have her, and she looked up into him at this moment with the fact that Noah wanted to show respect to her parents. It only meant that the man was serious in owning her fully. She inwardly squealed at that thought because for her it was a good sign of progress. He could choose to hide the marriage, but he seemed to have no intention to do so as she recalled how he also mentioned a wedding ceremony a while ago.
He wanted to meet her family, and it was making her heart melt more for the man. She should work harder in trapping him in her cage.
'Noah Yu, there's no escape for you now,' she silently mumbled.
"Hmm, I have to sleep at my parents' house for now. But it's better you introduce yourself to them now so we can open up our relationship to them soon. They know me… I hate parties and events so later we will not have a problem if I tell them that we registered our marriage first."
Then she honestly stated, My parents have been urging me to find a partner anyway saying I will soon be out of the calendar since I'm already thirty so I'm sure they will be delighted to meet you and even open the marriage thing as days pass by. That's the reason why I do not bring any men to our house at all because they will push me to marriage. They don't want me to become an old maid."
"Alright. Let's go to your home then and meet your parents." Noah finalized, although deep inside, felt a bit lonely that Luo would not sleep with him tonight.
'Patience…' the characteristic he never thought he possessed was really testing him hard.
But then he could still wait since it was just another day.
A while ago, inside the room, he honestly held his breath as he waited for Luo to sign the papers. He could not believe how he ended up wanting a woman like this so badly.
