BXBX NOVEL Chapter 41 - Officially Becoming A Couple
"Lisa, are you ready?" Oscar asked the question once again.
"Well, ready or not, here we come." Lisa replied from beside him. The woman had shown some doubts since yesterday. The man asked about the day they were getting married. Lisa returned to remembering how stupid she was when she got drunk in the Sky Lounge to erase the trace of her former lover. Well, getting drunk was stupid but to get pregnant with someone like this was even more crazy!
Before going to the civil registration office to obtain a marriage certificate, Oscar and Lisa first held a wedding ceremony at Oscar\'s residence. There were no festive parties, no receptions, no invited guests except Kumala and the maids who worked at Oscar\'s residence. What a sad marriage for Lisa.
In the past, when Lisa was a girl, she always dreamed of marrying a handsome man with a festive reception in a luxurious building. However, this was only real in dreams. Unless she was married to a handsome man with a noble character.
Lisa was not wearing a dress like a bride. She only wore a knee-length skirt combined with her flagship black blazer. Almost no different from everyday clothes at the office. Likewise, the groom also dressed similarly.
A few minutes passed, the prince came and started the wedding ceremony. The process of the wedding ceremony was very short. The utterances of holy promises from both parties were recorded and they immediately left for the Civil Registry.
***
Ten minutes later, Lisa and Oscar entered the doors of the Civil Registration Office together. Unlike other people who came and went in pairs, they held hands and went hand in hand. They didn\'t seem to know anyone. There were only strangers coming to the place where procedures were carried out one by one!
Upon their arrival at the Civil Registration Office, Oscar and Lisa walked straight to the record room. Submission of all files to obtain a marriage certificate to a registration officer.
The officer then snorted to see Oscar side by side with Lisa, "You foreigners really love local people haha! At best, you\'ll leave them when you already have children!"
The sentence was burning hot in Lisa\'s ears. How dare the officer make fun of her! She stared angrily at the officer, giving him a fist gesture on her face.
"Lisa, stop it already. There\'s no point in dealing with a civilian like him!" Oscar\'s slender fingers gripped Lisa\'s clenched fist and lowered it.
Lisa chuckled, annoyed that she could not reply to the unpleasant words that the officer said. Oscar invited her to sit down while waiting for the final call to take out the marriage certificate.
Who knew how many hours it had been, finally the same officer called the couple. He handed over two marriage books to Oscar and Lisa. Having not much to say, the newly married couple hurried back to their quarters.
"I thought the wedding day would be as special as the stories on FTV!" Lisa exclaimed.
Oscar, who\'d officially become Lisa\'s husband, chuckled when he heard his wife. Even though she was an adult, Lisa still showed her innocent side as if she was a teenager. The man put his arm around Lisa\'s shoulders, bringing her closer to his chest.
"The most important thing is that our names are officially registered at the Civil Registry Office. This way, you don\'t have to worry about the future of our children."
The man took out several sheets of paper from the folder. He then read it to Lisa, "Lisa, listen to me carefully, this is a post-marriage agreement. I ask that you read it carefully. After that, you sign on the stamp that I have stuck on the final page!"
Lisa\'s brows knitted together in surprise. \'What is this post-marriage agreement for?\' She thought. The woman then took the post-marriage agreement sheet from Oscar\'s hand. She opened the first page and read it.
First of all, Oscar would cover the insurance costs to protect their child while Lisa was pregnant.
Second, two months before delivery Oscar would pay all the costs of the obstetrical examination and the likes.
Third, after their child was born Oscar would provide full support for Lisa and their child, so that Lisa didn\'t have to bother working.
Fourth, if Lisa and Oscar divorced in the future, the full custody of the child would belong to Oscar. In exchange, Oscar would continue to finance Lisa as long as she didn\'t get married to another man.
A very strange letter of promise, Lisa thought. One thing that Lisa clearly understood from the letter she read was that she was not allowed to work again after marrying Oscar.
Actually Oscar\'s job as husband in the post-marriage agreement he designed was correct. It\'s just that Lisa didn\'t want to just give up her job after the child was born! Not to mention that if the two of them divorce at a later date, the custody of the child was completely to Oscar\'s. Lisa was also the mother of their child! She should get half of that custody! She had to protest this term to Oscar.
The man glanced at her with a deep gaze saying, "I am also the father of the child in your stomach, Lisa. Without me, your monthly salary isn\'t enough to support our child after all!"
"Ugh. You can be arrogant as you like, but I can still take care of that child even with a modest salary!" Lisa replied sharply.
"Hey, it\'s up to you. You can ignore this agreement letter, but if one day you come to me asking for help again I will definitely refuse!" Oscar stared at her coldly. Their faces were now only a centimeter away.
Lisa stared at the two blue eyes closely. The radiance in her husband\'s eyes was very sharp, making her shudder in fear.
"Quickly sign this stamp!" Oscar moved Lisa\'s hand that was holding the pen onto the seal. The woman obeyed Oscar\'s order, and gave her signature.
"Okay, the agreement has been officially approved!"
