Stella Lockwood fell silent for a moment, then grabbed her purse. She pulled out the little red booklet and handed it over.
The moment Serena Lockwood saw the red booklet, her eyes glazed over. Her mind went completely blank, unable to form a coherent thought.
"A marriage certificate?"
She blinked, asking woodenly. 'Is this some kind of movie prop?'
"Mhm," Stella Lockwood replied softly.
"You found it?"
"The Civil Affairs Bureau issued it." Stella Lockwood gave a dazzling smile, then slowly dropped the bombshell. "I got married. Today."
BOOM.
A bolt from the blue.
Serena Lockwood was stunned speechless. Her headache returned with a vengeance—it felt like a metal band was constricting her forehead, tightening and tightening until her head felt like it would split open.
AAAAAH...
