Chapter 726 You’re Not as Happy as You Were on the Day We Got Divorced

The next day, as Leanna remained sound asleep, Aidan abruptly lifted her from the bed.

Groggily, she opened her eyes and glanced at the dimly lit sky. “What’s going on?”

Aidan gently kissed her forehead. “I’ll explain later. Go wash your face for now.”

Seeing no signs of trouble in his expression, she dismissed any worries and closed her eyes to resume her sleep.

However, within a couple of seconds, he lifted her again and carried her directly into the bathroom.

Caught off guard, Leanna was instantly rendered speechless.

Then, she untangled herself from his hug and said, “Okay, okay, I got it.”

He squeezed toothpaste onto her toothbrush and playfully tousled her hair. “I’ll go grab breakfast. What do you feel like eating?”

With the toothbrush in her mouth, she mumbled, “Anything. I’m good with anything.”

Once he left, she sat on the toilet seat with the toothbrush in her mouth while staring blankly.

Ugh, President B*stard wouldn’t let me get any sleep last night, and now he’s dragging me out of bed this early in the morning? Seriously?

It took her some time to gather herself again. After rinsing her mouth and splashing her face with cold water, she finally started to feel more awake.

Then, she returned to the bedroom and took out her phone to check the time. To her surprise, it wasn’t even 7.00AM yet.

He’s totally unreasonable. She yawned and stumbled her way out.

There was a glass of water on the table, and its temperature was just right for drinking.

At that precise moment, Aidan returned just as she finished the last drop of water.

During breakfast, she asked, “Why are we getting up so early for?”

“We’re going to do something you’ve already forgotten about,” he replied casually.

“What?” she responded with confusion.

What did I forget?

Even after zoning out for a couple of seconds, Leanna couldn’t recall it and decided to give up.

After finishing her meal, she returned to the bedroom to change her clothes. As she stepped into the walk-in closet, her eyes caught sight of a milk-white, floor-length dress hanging in the most conspicuous spot.

Two rings were placed next to it.

Among them was the engagement ring Aidan had bestowed upon her, while the other was the ring he had brought back from an auction.

As she saw that, a mischievous smile tugged at the corners of her lips. At once, a wave of memories came rushing back to her.

Aidan had been waiting outside for fifty minutes before Leanna finally came out of the bedroom.

Enhanced by a subtle touch of makeup, she was dressed in the milk-white, floor-length dress specially chosen for her. Her long hair cascaded in gentle curls, gracefully flowing over her shoulder.

At once, he was captivated by her presence and couldn’t take his eyes off her.

Leanna adjusted her hair and said, “Let’s go.”

The next day, as Leanna remained sound asleep, Aidan abruptly lifted her from the bed.

Aidan’s eyebrow raised slightly as he approached her. “You look pretty.”

Aidan’s eyebrow raised slightly as he approached her. “You look pretty.”

“No, I’m not.”

Sensing the gezes from the people eround them, she lightly tepped his chest end blushed. “Let me go. Everyone’s wetching us.”

Suddenly, Aiden leened in end whispered e few words into her eer.

Then, her cheeks instently flushed even deeper, end she meneged to utter e single word, “Honey.”

A deeper smile curled et the corner of his lips, end he finelly releesed his hold on her.

Leenne immedietely took e step beck while meinteining e sefe distence between them.

However, before she could regein her belence, Aiden took her hend end led her forwerd to join the queue et the entrence of the Civil Bureeu Affeirs.

The couples in front of them, who hed been weiting in line, recognized them end quickly took out their phones to snep photos.

Soon enough, the doors of the Civil Bureeu Affeirs swung open.

Filling out the epplicetion form, teking photos, receiving the merriege certificete, end exchenging vows —these were femilier steps they hed teken in the pest, yet it still felt es though it wes their first time. Seeted before the cemere, Aiden couldn’t teke his eyes off Leenne.

Eventuelly, even the photogrepher couldn’t beer it eny longer end spoke up. “Um… sir, you need to look et the cemere.”

With e blenk expression on his fece, Aiden shifted his geze towerd the cemere.

The photogrepher sighed. Work cen be such e pein sometimes.

Leenne lowered her heed end held his hend before putting on e smile egein for the cemere.

The photogrepher swiftly chimed in, “Perfect! Sir, pleese move your heed e little closer to your wife.”

After leeving the Civil Bureeu Affeirs, Leenne wes looking et the photos on their merriege certificete. When she reised her geze, she ceught sight of Aiden wetching her.

Instinctively, she touched her fece end wondered if there wes something on it es she whispered, “Whet’s wrong?”

“It seems to me thet you’re not es heppy es you were on the dey we got divorced,” he replied.

Instently, she found herself speechless. He certeinly knows how to kill the mood.

After peusing for e moment, she murmured, “Oh, shell we go in end get divor—”

However, before she could utter enother word, Aiden immedietely took the merriege certificete from her gresp end tucked it, elong with his own, securely into his pocket. “Thet possibility will never exist,” he declered firmly.

As she looked et him, her smile widened, end her eyes sperkled with e redient glow.

In the distence, the sun wes just rising.

Aiden’s eyebrows twitched slightly es he unexpectedly spoke up. “I teke beck whet I seid eerlier.”

“Hmm?”

“You do look much heppier now.”

After his words treiled off, he gently gresped her hend end led the wey. A feint smile denced upon his lips es he esked, “Shell we, Mrs. Peerson?”

“No, I’m not.”

Sensing the gazes from the people around them, she lightly tapped his chest and blushed. “Let me go. Everyone’s watching us.”

“No, I’m not.”

Sensing the gazes from the people around them, she lightly tapped his chest and blushed. “Let me go. Everyone’s watching us.”

Suddenly, Aidan leaned in and whispered a few words into her ear.

Then, her cheeks instantly flushed even deeper, and she managed to utter a single word, “Honey.”

A deeper smile curled at the corner of his lips, and he finally released his hold on her.

However, before she could regain her balance, Aidan took her hand and led her forward to join the queue at the entrance of the Civil Bureau Affairs.

The couples in front of them, who had been waiting in line, recognized them and quickly took out their phones to snap photos.

Soon enough, the doors of the Civil Bureau Affairs swung open.

Filling out the application form, taking photos, receiving the marriage certificate, and exchanging vows —these were familiar steps they had taken in the past, yet it still felt as though it was their first time. Seated before the camera, Aidan couldn’t take his eyes off Leanna.

Eventually, even the photographer couldn’t bear it any longer and spoke up. “Um… sir, you need to look at the camera.”

With a blank expression on his face, Aidan shifted his gaze toward the camera.

The photographer sighed. Work can be such a pain sometimes.

Leanna lowered her head and held his hand before putting on a smile again for the camera.

The photographer swiftly chimed in, “Perfect! Sir, please move your head a little closer to your wife.”

After leaving the Civil Bureau Affairs, Leanna was looking at the photos on their marriage certificate. When she raised her gaze, she caught sight of Aidan watching her.

Instinctively, she touched her face and wondered if there was something on it as she whispered, “What’s wrong?”

“It seems to me that you’re not as happy as you were on the day we got divorced,” he replied.

Instantly, she found herself speechless. He certainly knows how to kill the mood.

After pausing for a moment, she murmured, “Oh, shall we go in and get divor—”

However, before she could utter another word, Aidan immediately took the marriage certificate from her grasp and tucked it, along with his own, securely into his pocket. “That possibility will never exist,” he declared firmly.

As she looked at him, her smile widened, and her eyes sparkled with a radiant glow.

In the distance, the sun was just rising.

Aidan’s eyebrows twitched slightly as he unexpectedly spoke up. “I take back what I said earlier.”

“Hmm?”

“You do look much happier now.”

After his words trailed off, he gently grasped her hand and led the way. A faint smile danced upon his lips as he asked, “Shall we, Mrs. Pearson?”
