Chapter 612

Dorothy went outside to check, then walked into the living room and asked, “Bianca, why hasn'tAnthony come yet? He won't forget about such an important thing, will he? Anthony is not the kindof person who does things erratically! Why don’t you call him?”

Bianca looked at the time and found that it was five minutes to eight, so she said, “Let's just wait alittle more. Anthony is really punctual, so he'll be here on the dot.”

However, he still did not appear even though it was already a minute past eight.

Bianca glanced at her watch from time to time and waited until 8.10 a.m. If Anthony still did notcome, they would miss their preferred time and the implied message of the chosen. time. Hence,she took out her phone and called Anthony, but it went unanswered.

Dorothy and Nigel were both staring at Bianca as she made the call. As Anthony could not bereached, she felt a little embarrassed.

Then, she called again, but no one answered.

“He's probably busy,” Bianca said.

"You're getting your marriage certificate today! What's more important than this?” Dorothy wasdispleased.

Bianca thought about it and called the Royal Mansion, but Hayden said Anthony did not come backthat night. Hearing that, Bianca's face instantly changed.

“What's wrong?” Dorothy asked anxiously.

Bianca did not answer Dorothy but called Oliver. “Has Anthony gone to the company?”

“Not yet.”

Bianca hung up the phone and sat there motionless, unusually calm.

Dorothy asked concernedly, “You can't get in touch with him?”

“Anthony is probably delayed by something. It's fine. I'll wait for him at the Civil Affairs Bureau.”Bianca took her bag and left.

Dorothy and Nigel followed her.

“Bianca, are you going there alone?” Dorothy thought the matter was so embarrassing. How couldyou get a marriage certificate alone?

Bianca replied, “I believe Anthony. He's surely busy with something, and he'll be at the Civil AffairsBureau before 9."

After that, she got into the car and left.

Dorothy frowned. “Anthony is really something else. Doesn't he know what day it is today?

Why do I have a bad premonition?”

“They're too eager to get the marriage certificate,” Nigel commented.

Dorothy got angry when she heard that. “You still want them to take it slow? Who do you want tomake room for? I know you're partial to your youngest daughter, but it's a pity that Anthony doesn'tlike her and will never marry her! Think about it, Bianca is the children’s aunt after all! If she wereanother woman, the children might be mistreated after the marriage!”

“I'd prefer her to marry a husband who is devoted to her,” Nigel said.

“Is there a loyal man in this world?” Dorothy sneered, “Besides, Bianca likes Anthony. Do you wanther to replace a man she doesn't like? She's only going to be miserable! I know you don't like me, but Ihope you don't implicate Bianca.”

Nigel thought she was unreasonable, so he did not say anything more and went back in.

Dorothy gritted her teeth. “Trying to make room for your youngest daughter? You'll still have to gothrough me!”

Bianca called Anthony again on the way to the Civil Affairs Bureau, but the phone still could not getthrough. Thus, she sent a text message instead, [Anthony I'll be waiting for you at the Civil AffairsBureau, just go there.]

After thinking about it, she added another sentence, [I'll always be waiting for you.]

Bianca arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau and waited in the waiting room. However, the more shewaited, the more anxious she became.

It was past nine, and Anthony still did not show up.

Bianca stared blankly at the time, listening to the clock’s ticking as time passed.

The anxiousness at the beginning turned into a quiet wait.

Why did he not show up on time?

Bianca picked up her phone and called Anne.

Bianca did not want to admit what she thought was happening, but she could not control it fromimagining the scene of Anthony and Anne together, provoking every nerve in her brain. She calledAnne, but no one answered.
