Chapter 760 - Im Your Husband (1/2)

Marie still didn't budge. She narrowed her eyes and looked at Nicolae intently. ”Who are you to order me around?”

Nicolae sighed and shook his head. He already knew that Marie was drunk now, and this was a sure sign that they had to go home. He raised his hand to sign the waiter that they had finished drinking and now wanted their bill.

Quickly, the waiter came to bring their bill. Nicolae paid in cash and left a few hundred dollars as a tip. He only nodded when the waiter thanked him and bowed many times for being given such a big tip.

”Can you walk?” Nicolae asked Marie.

”I don't want to go home ...” the girl w.h.i.n.ed.

”It's time to go home. It's very late now, and you drank too much,” Nicolae said. Marie insisted on latching on her seat.

”I don't want to go home ...”

”You must go home,” Nicolae, whose well of patience was as deep as the ocean, was still trying to coax Marie.

”Why should I listen to you?” Marie looked away angrily. ”Who are you to ask me to come with you ...?!”

Finally, Nicolae crouched down and touched Marie's knees. His voice sounded very serious when he said, ”I'm your husband. You have to come home with me. Do you want to be a disobedient wife who won't listen to your husband's words?”

Marie's small eyes went round. A look of surprise filled the girl's face followed by a muffled cry from her lips, ”When did I marry you??”

The girl's voice sounded really confused.

”We got married yesterday morning. You don't remember?” Nicolae asked, patting Marie's knee softly. ”You're too much, how could you forget our wedding...”

Marie's facial expression seemed even more confused.

”No way. I'm still too young for that. How could I get married to anyone? I'm still 22 years old.” Marie was still trying to argue.

Nicolae smiled broadly while he ruffled her hair.

”You don't believe me?” asked the young man. ”Look at your ring finger.”

Hesitantly, Marie looked at her ring finger, then immediately pressed her lips while holding back a cry of surprise.

”Gosh, what ring is this?” asked the girl in surprise.

”It's a wedding ring,” Nicolae said with a chuckle. ”Now, do you believe me? You are drunk now, so you don't remember, but tomorrow morning you will definitely remember again.”

”We got married yesterday?” Marie hurriedly took her cellphone out of her pocket and surveyed the photo gallery. ”If we are married, why isn't there a picture of the wedding?”

In her phone gallery, there were absolutely no wedding photos. The girl shook her head and looked at Nicolae in puzzlement.

Nicolae wouldn't explain. He had deliberately requested that there should be no photos when he and Marie were married because he did not want anyone to keep his tracks. As an Alchemist who was used to changing identities every few decades, he never let an ordinary person keep a photo that would leave a record of him.

Just like Caspar and Alaric who always deleted their photos from the internet, Nicolae also used to refuse being photographed and keep his face from appearing out there.
