Chapter 750 - Nicolaes Decision (1/2)

”I feel so bad for involving you this far...” The girl whispered.

Nicolae only shook his head. ”I don't think I have a choice. Besides... you can immediately annul it.”

”You're right. But I'm not comfortable with you because now you are involved so deeply in my affairs. If you married me for real, you will be registered as being married twice at such a young age, and divorced twice. It wouldn't look good for you. Women would think there must be something wrong with you that you can't keep a marriage.” The girl looked uneasy for bothering Nicolae in such a way.

The young man stared at Marie with a complicated look. Finally, he could only say, ”I have never been married. And I did not ask you to take care of the divorce after your mother died. I asked that you take care of the annulment.”

”Oh ... really? I'm sorry for making my own assumption. I thought you were married to your kids' mother and then got divorced,” Marie said regretfully.

”No, we are not married,” Nicolae answered firmly.

He really wanted to marry Aleksis ... but fate was not on his side.

Marie looked surprised at Nicolae's answer. ”Does that mean, you have children out of wedlock?”

Nicolae massaged his forehead. He suddenly felt very tired.

”Marie, I already told you--no, I begged you, not to ask too many questions and interfere in my personal affairs. I am willing to marry you just to help you lie to your mother because I cannot bear to see her suffer. But, apart from the fake marriage registration that we will do tomorrow ... you and I don't have any relationship.” He looked at Marie with a sharp look that made the girl stunned. ”Please do not interfere in my personal affairs and do not interfere in the affairs of my children.”

”All right. I'm sorry. I was just curious. I promise I won't ask any more questions,” Marie said hurriedly. After all, she was indebted to Nicolae, and she did not want to upset him.

”All right, then. Who will take care of the wedding tomorrow? You or me?” Nicolae asked her.

”Let me do it. I don't want to inconvenience you any further. I will take care of our wedding ceremony with the hospital chapel and also contact ROM. I will also bring all the necessary stuff.” Marie immediately offered.

”All right. Here's my phone number. You can contact me to inform me of all the preparations,” Nicolae gave her his card that contained the spare contact number that he had prepared for strangers. No matter what, Marie was nothing to him, he could not give his personal contact to the girl.

”Thank you. I'll keep you updated,” Marie said, keeping the card Nicolae gave her in her bag.

”All right, then I'll go home now. The kids are waiting for me,” Nicolae said. He turned and walked out of the sanatorium building with long steps. He felt a little depressed, and he tried to massage his forehead, which suddenly hurt.

This morning should have been easy, had Mrs. Lu not caught them in their lies. Who would have thought, their little white lie now had turned into something very serious.

He never expected that he would offer to marry Marie in front of her mother just to give the old lady peace before she died. This is really unexpected.
