Chapter 200: Chapter 200

"Conrad, you are truly terrifying!"

"The epitome of a scheming boy!"

Conrad didn’t deny Anna’s claim that he had set a trap, letting her say whatever she wanted.

"Why did you set such a big trap?" Anna asked.

Actually, Conrad had answered this question yesterday!

As long as Anna tried on the pigeon egg ring she kept in her bag a few more times, she would realize that Conrad had always wanted her!

Even the engagement ring was custom-made to her size!

Last night was an urgent situation, but today, under normal circumstances, trying to make Conrad confess his feelings for her was out of the question.

This man has an awkward personality; besides the bedroom, don’t expect him to say sweet things elsewhere.

Anna accepted her fate!

She fell into this man’s trap, considering they’ve slept together, and the certificate is already obtained.

The rice has been cooked, what’s left to do?

But thinking about how she ended up sharing a conniving bed last night, Anna still felt upset: "I just married you like that? I feel like I’ve been sold! No name, no rank! Can’t wear a beautiful wedding dress! Can’t take wedding photos! Can’t invite guests! Just the thought makes me feel tragic and pathetic!"

"Wedding photos aren’t impossible, but you’ll have to wait for me to have the time to go abroad for them!"

"You? You haven’t had a vacation in eight hundred years!"

By the time Conrad takes a vacation, Anna’s prime youthful years might have passed.

"It’s not like you’ll never have a formal title! But you’ll have to wait!"

Once Conrad accomplishes what he needs to, it might not be impossible for Anna to become the rightful Mrs. Sterling.

However, he himself couldn’t guarantee how long the wait would be!

"So, all in all, it’s still nothing!"

"Cough..." Conrad was a bit awkward under her critique and switched the topic, "By the way, how are the resources that Jane Jennings provided for you?"

"Ha!" Anna smirked nonchalantly: "You want to know? Let me read the script titles she just pitched to me: ’A Rookie Mom’s Promotion,’ ’Two Decades of Mother-in-Law and Daughter-in-Law Battles,’ ’A Pretty Wife Comes to the Village’... Manager Jennings said these are all good resources suitable for me. What do you think, President Sterling?"

Another awkward cough from Conrad.

Although he wasn’t interested in the entertainment industry, hearing these script titles from Anna’s mouth gave him goosebumps, and he couldn’t even imagine her acting in them...

"Honestly, is this Jane Jennings on Actress Ford’s side? Since you’ve broken up with Marilyn, it’s only a matter of time before Actress Ford jumps ship. Will she take Jane Jennings with her?"

If Jane Jennings jumps ship too, Anna will feel there’s hope for her future.

However, Conrad answered her: "Jane Jennings isn’t Marilyn’s person!"

Fortunately, Anna and Pop had only moved out from the Sterling Residence for a little over two months, so packing wasn’t too complicated.

When they returned, Mary, along with the nanny, had already packed the luggage, including little Pop, eagerly waiting with anticipation for President Sterling to pick them up.

Currently, only Mary knew about Anna and Conrad getting the marriage certificate. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novel_fіre.net

She was the one who helped Anna send the necessary documents for marriage registration to the civil affairs bureau.

At that time, she was incredibly excited.

Anna was now Mrs. Sterling!

She had truly made it!

"Pop, Dad’s taking you and Mommy home, are you happy?"

"Happy~" Little Pop sat on the opened suitcase, so happy that her little feet were kicking up.

"Auntie secretly tells you, from now on the big house at the Sterling Residence is you and Mommy’s home. Anna drifted abroad with you with such hardship, finally finding a home for you, where Pop can lovably act spoiled with Dad..." Mary spoke with tears welling up in her eyes, choking up.

She mainly thought of the difficult days with Anna abroad.

Now that Anna’s wish had been fulfilled by marrying President Sterling, they finally had some security in life and didn’t need to worry anymore.

Little Pop saw Aunt Mary crying and tilted her little head in confusion.

Then, Pop cupped her face and planted comforting kisses on Aunt Mary’s cheeks.

"Such a good girl! Auntie isn’t sad, Auntie is happy for you! Now, your daddy is your rightful dad indeed! Oh, finally making a jerk take on his responsibility, how challenging!"

Just as Mary finished speaking, the jerk she referred to happened to arrive at the door.

"President Sterling... Anna called me not long ago, and you came so early?" Mary realized she should avoid speaking behind people’s backs; she always got caught.

Luckily, Pop saw him coming and happily reached her little arms out to Conrad: "Daddy, carry..."

Conrad picked up his daughter, his face softened instantly, letting go of any urge to react to Mary’s "jerk" comment.

After loading the luggage into the car, Conrad let Anna sit in the passenger seat and pointed to Mary: "You get in too!"

"Me?!" Mary nervously scratched her head.

President Sterling wouldn’t want to settle accounts with her now, would he?

What was her role in this family trio’s sweet return? Guard the door?

"Anna and I are getting married today, we’re going to treat friends to a meal, you’re coming too!"

Upon hearing about the meal, Mary breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, okay."

After getting in the car, Conrad noticed in the rearview that Pop was comfortably seated in the child seat in the back, and Mary was also sitting in the back.

Between her and the little munchkin, there was a half-person tall Doraemon doll.

"I don’t recall buying such a toy?" Conrad asked.

"You mean that one..." Anna also turned to look, "That’s from a friend."

"Which friend sent it?"

"A foreign friend, you don’t know her, a woman! The gift was specially shipped from overseas for Pop, Pop really likes it lately!"

The wedding, wedding photos, and the legitimate title of Mrs. Sterling that Anna wanted... Conrad couldn’t give her that for now.

He could only treat close friends and family for a gathering, as a gesture for today’s official marriage.

However, Conrad didn’t have many friends, just two.

Of course, one of them was Henry Willow.

With Mary added in, they simply had a meal together, satisfying the little woman’s love of ritual.

The restaurant wasn’t set in a particularly upscale place but chosen because Anna liked the hotpot there.

They went to the hotpot restaurant after dropping off their luggage at home, where they found Henry already waiting in the private room.

After some time of recuperation, Henry had most of the bandages removed, but he couldn’t be discharged yet, so he had escaped the hospital in a wheelchair today.

"Young Master Sterling, do you have any compassion for a serious patient? Inviting me to a meal at a hotpot restaurant, is there anything here I can eat?" Henry expressed his doubt.

Conrad straightforwardly answered him: "No!"

"Then why did you call me here, what am I supposed to do?"

"You can quench your thirst with plum imagery!"

"Truly heartless! Got married and now treating your brothers !"

Conrad hadn’t told Henry about the marriage certificate, but Henry could guess.

Despite his physical condition, he boldly sneaked out of the hospital, willing to endure not eating or drinking, just to witness the moment Conrad was finally conquered by a woman.

As the group laughed and chatted, the other friend invited by Conrad also arrived.

Conrad had mentioned, that besides Henry, the other friend they knew.

But neither Mary nor Anna expected the person coming to be Jane Jennings.

"Manager Jennings, so you and President Sterling... are friends?"
