Chapter 101
Sandy’s remarks stunned Tina.
“What?! Marriage contract?”
It was then when she realized that she was getting off at the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Despite Tina resisting, Sandy insisted on dragging her into the building.
Samuel wasn’t there, and there was only a document with his signature on it. “You just need to sign here,” Sandy said coldly. He didn’t even bother to explain.
Tina’s brain grew muddled when she saw the marriage contract.
“What’s going on? I think you got the wrong person.”
‘Wasn’t Cindy the bride-to-be? Why isn’t it her instead?’
Sandy answered sarcastically, “Isn’t this what you want? Ruining the relationship between Mr. Langford and Ms. Young so that you can be the wife.”
“That’s not true!” Tina explained hurriedly. but was reminded of Madam Langford. “Could it be Grandma? I’ll talk to her about this…”
“Indeed, it’s Madam Langford’s suggestion. iMr. Langford agreed to it too.” Sandy recalled the sight of Cindy crying her heart out and immediately felt that Tina was a wicked woman. Impatient, he snapped, “Just sign this and you’ll marry Mr. Langford. Don’t expect anything from him, because it’s Miss Young that he loves. Not you.”
Tina had no choice but to sign the document.
Soon, she received two marriage booklets with both hers and Samuel’s names on.
There was a picture of them standing together on the booklet, but Tina knew how much Samuel hated her. These were just superficial acts.
Even so, the picture gave Tina an illusion that they got married because of love.
Tina left the Civil Affairs Bureau and returned to work. When she reached the office, she overheard her colleagues’ conversation. “Have you heard? Tiffany and Jonathan are finally tying the knot!” “Really? I knew they were gonna make it! They’ve been together for almost a decade since high school.”
“Here comes the two newlyweds! Congratulations!”
Tiffany and Jonathan walked forward with big smiles, holding hands all the while. “These snacks are for everyone. Make sure to come to our wedding!”
“Oh, for sure! We’ll definitely be there!”
For some reason, Tina felt a pang of annoyance.
She, too, imagined a life where she would marry the love of her life and build a family together, but…
Tina gently patted the booklet in her pocket and gave herself a pathetic chuckle. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Not wanting to listen to the conversation anymore, she made her way to the pantry. But then, she heard people talking behind her. Their voices were getting louder every passing second. “Hey there, Tina. Why didn’t you take the snacks?”
“Oh, sorry. I was preoccupied …” Tina tried to squeeze out an excuse, when she was handed a handful of snacks.

“These are for you! You’re still young, so I hope these snacks can act as lucky charms for you to find your prince charming soon,” her colleague said cheerfully. Tina could only respond with a polite smile. She stared at the snacks, feeling complicated, as her colleagues left the pantry.
