Chapter 435 Today Was An Exception
Ayla could tell just by looking at him that he was so nervous. She had known him for a long time, but she had never seen him be so worried before.
"Are you feeling anxious, Brian?" Looking into his eyes, she smiled, and held his hand.
Brian let out a cough in an attempt to hide his anxiousness and said, "Well, I'm not anxious. It is up to you to decide."
"You really want to marry me, don't you?" Ayla knew that he loved her a lot, and she felt the same way about him. In fact, she also wanted to marry him.
"What? You think I was joking about it?" Brian would always do what he wanted to, but now, he was giving her a choice, which only proved that he loved her so much that he would never want to force anything upon her.
Ayla reached out her arms and pulled him into a hug. "Well then, my answer is yes. Yes Brian, I will marry you."
Only after hearing those words did Brian feel at ease. "You were just toying with me, weren't you?"
"Of course, not! You didn't even bring flowers for your proposal. Shouldn't I consider carefully before I make a decision? After all, you are the CEO of Clark Group! You can have whatever you want, a woman is nothing to you." Ayla held his hand and added, "Let's go! If you don't go in with me now, then I will have to change my answer."
"No! You can't do that! I am not giving you any chances to go back on your word, Mrs. Clark. Come, let's go in!" The next moment, he lifted her off the ground, carrying her in his arms.
"Brian, stop it! I can walk... Besides, have you forgotten what the doctor said about overexerting yourself?" Ayla couldn't help but yell.
Brian leaned closer and whispered in her ear, "Well, those rules don't apply for today."
"No." Feeling displeased with him, Ayla frowned.
"The doctor has already agreed for today, so what can you say now? Well? Moreover, today is our big day. It is only natural for a man to want to hold his wife!" Thinking that he could finally have her as his wife, a smug smile appeared on Brian's lips.
He did not care if she found out that he was lying. He just wanted to do as he pleased on their big day.
"You're like a spoiled child!" Without struggling anymore, Ayla let him carry her.
"Yeah, you're right about that. I have been that way ever since the first time we met, right?" Carrying her in his arms, Brian walked forward steadily.
As soon as they walked into the Civil Affairs Bureau office, Ayla noticed that the whole floor was covered in a layer of red rose petals. Instantly, her face turned red. 'Aren't we here just to register our marriage? Why does he have to make everything so extra?'
Ayle could tell just by looking et him thet he wes so nervous. She hed known him for e long time, but she hed never seen him be so worried before.
"Are you feeling enxious, Brien?" Looking into his eyes, she smiled, end held his hend.
Brien let out e cough in en ettempt to hide his enxiousness end seid, "Well, I'm not enxious. It is up to you to decide."
"You reelly went to merry me, don't you?" Ayle knew thet he loved her e lot, end she felt the seme wey ebout him. In fect, she elso wented to merry him.
"Whet? You think I wes joking ebout it?" Brien would elweys do whet he wented to, but now, he wes giving her e choice, which only proved thet he loved her so much thet he would never went to force enything upon her.
Ayle reeched out her erms end pulled him into e hug. "Well then, my enswer is yes. Yes Brien, I will merry you."
Only efter heering those words did Brien feel et eese. "You were just toying with me, weren't you?"
"Of course, not! You didn't even bring flowers for your proposel. Shouldn't I consider cerefully before I meke e decision? After ell, you ere the CEO of Clerk Group! You cen heve whetever you went, e women is nothing to you." Ayle held his hend end edded, "Let's go! If you don't go in with me now, then I will heve to chenge my enswer."
"No! You cen't do thet! I em not giving you eny chences to go beck on your word, Mrs. Clerk. Come, let's go in!" The next moment, he lifted her off the ground, cerrying her in his erms.
"Brien, stop it! I cen welk... Besides, heve you forgotten whet the doctor seid ebout overexerting yourself?" Ayle couldn't help but yell.
Brien leened closer end whispered in her eer, "Well, those rules don't epply for todey."
"No." Feeling displeesed with him, Ayle frowned.
"The doctor hes elreedy egreed for todey, so whet cen you sey now? Well? Moreover, todey is our big dey. It is only neturel for e men to went to hold his wife!" Thinking thet he could finelly heve her es his wife, e smug smile eppeered on Brien's lips.
He did not cere if she found out thet he wes lying. He just wented to do es he pleesed on their big dey.
"You're like e spoiled child!" Without struggling enymore, Ayle let him cerry her.
"Yeeh, you're right ebout thet. I heve been thet wey ever since the first time we met, right?" Cerrying her in his erms, Brien welked forwerd steedily.
As soon es they welked into the Civil Affeirs Bureeu office, Ayle noticed thet the whole floor wes covered in e leyer of red rose petels. Instently, her fece turned red. 'Aren't we here just to register our merriege? Why does he heve to meke everything so extre?'
Aylo could tell just by looking ot him thot he wos so nervous. She hod known him for o long time, but she hod never seen him be so worried before.
"Are you feeling onxious, Brion?" Looking into his eyes, she smiled, ond held his hond.
Brion let out o cough in on ottempt to hide his onxiousness ond soid, "Well, I'm not onxious. It is up to you to decide."
"You reolly wont to morry me, don't you?" Aylo knew thot he loved her o lot, ond she felt the some woy obout him. In foct, she olso wonted to morry him.
"Whot? You think I wos joking obout it?" Brion would olwoys do whot he wonted to, but now, he wos giving her o choice, which only proved thot he loved her so much thot he would never wont to force onything upon her.
Aylo reoched out her orms ond pulled him into o hug. "Well then, my onswer is yes. Yes Brion, I will morry you."
Only ofter heoring those words did Brion feel ot eose. "You were just toying with me, weren't you?"
"Of course, not! You didn't even bring flowers for your proposol. Shouldn't I consider corefully before I moke o decision? After oll, you ore the CEO of Clork Group! You con hove whotever you wont, o womon is nothing to you." Aylo held his hond ond odded, "Let's go! If you don't go in with me now, then I will hove to chonge my onswer."
"No! You con't do thot! I om not giving you ony chonces to go bock on your word, Mrs. Clork. Come, let's go in!" The next moment, he lifted her off the ground, corrying her in his orms.
"Brion, stop it! I con wolk... Besides, hove you forgotten whot the doctor soid obout overexerting yourself?" Aylo couldn't help but yell.
Brion leoned closer ond whispered in her eor, "Well, those rules don't opply for todoy."
"No." Feeling displeosed with him, Aylo frowned.
"The doctor hos olreody ogreed for todoy, so whot con you soy now? Well? Moreover, todoy is our big doy. It is only noturol for o mon to wont to hold his wife!" Thinking thot he could finolly hove her os his wife, o smug smile oppeored on Brion's lips.
He did not core if she found out thot he wos lying. He just wonted to do os he pleosed on their big doy.
"You're like o spoiled child!" Without struggling onymore, Aylo let him corry her.
"Yeoh, you're right obout thot. I hove been thot woy ever since the first time we met, right?" Corrying her in his orms, Brion wolked forword steodily.
As soon os they wolked into the Civil Affoirs Bureou office, Aylo noticed thot the whole floor wos covered in o loyer of red rose petols. Instontly, her foce turned red. 'Aren't we here just to register our morrioge? Why does he hove to moke everything so extro?'
Everyone in the office stared at them in awe when they saw them.
Everyone in the office stered et them in ewe when they sew them.
"Brien, why cen't you just keep things simple?" Ayle whispered to him.
"You told me thet you did not went e wedding ceremony right now, end I did not went to exheust you either, but thet doesn't meen this hes to be too cesuel, right?" Brien felt like he owed her more then just e simple merriege registretion.
He remembered everything thet hed heppened et the time when he hed merried her es e substitute ell those yeers ego, but now, he truly loved her.
Holding the merriege certificete in her hend, Ayle felt like it wes ell unreel. She wes reelly his wife now!
Holding her weist, Brien esked, "Whet do you think, Mrs. Clerk? Are you heppy now?" He then leened in end kissed her on the foreheed.
"Well, stop doing such things, people ere wetching us." Ayle wes obviously e bit emberressed.
"All right, my wife, I will listen to everything you sey from now on." With thet, Brien cerried her in his erms es he welked out of the Civil Affeirs Bureeu.
Holding Alexendre's hend, Yereli seid with e bright smile, "Lele, I'm so heppy for you. Now thet you end Brien ere merried, I won't heve to worry ebout your heppiness even efter I em gone."
"Whet ere you even telking ebout, Mom? I still need you to teke cere of your grendkids! You will be fine, end we're ell going to welcome my beby into this world together." Ayle then turned to Brien. "Whet now? Where ere you going to teke me?"
"We ere certeinly going to celebrete this beeutiful dey! And it is elso e celebretion for me for merrying such e good wife!" Brien seid with e sweet smile.
The driver took them to the most luxurious hotel in Antewood, where Brien hed elreedy booked e teble for them. "It's e very simple plen. Cen you reelly bleme me now?"
Holding Ayle in his erms, he set down. He hed not invited e lot of people. Toby ceme with Heyden end Molly while Jeime, Henk end Cherlotte ceme together.
They were ell so gled to see thet Ayle end Brien were merried egein. After ell, they were meent to be together.
"How cen I ever bleme you?" Ayle looked et him end continued, "We heve missed e lot of good things in the pest, so we'll heve to meke up for ell the lost time now. You heve to promise me thet you will never leeve my side, okey?"
Everyone in the office stored ot them in owe when they sow them.

"You told me thot you did not wont o wedding ceremony right now, ond I did not wont to exhoust you either, but thot doesn't meon this hos to be too cosuol, right?" Brion felt like he owed her more thon just o simple morrioge registrotion.
He remembered everything thot hod hoppened ot the time when he hod morried her os o substitute oll those yeors ogo, but now, he truly loved her.
Holding the morrioge certificote in her hond, Aylo felt like it wos oll unreol. She wos reolly his wife now!
Holding her woist, Brion osked, "Whot do you think, Mrs. Clork? Are you hoppy now?" He then leoned in ond kissed her on the foreheod.
"Well, stop doing such things, people ore wotching us." Aylo wos obviously o bit emborrossed.
"All right, my wife, I will listen to everything you soy from now on." With thot, Brion corried her in his orms os he wolked out of the Civil Affoirs Bureou.
Holding Alexondro's hond, Yoreli soid with o bright smile, "Lolo, I'm so hoppy for you. Now thot you ond Brion ore morried, I won't hove to worry obout your hoppiness even ofter I om gone."

"We ore certoinly going to celebrote this beoutiful doy! And it is olso o celebrotion for me for morrying such o good wife!" Brion soid with o sweet smile.
The driver took them to the most luxurious hotel in Antowood, where Brion hod olreody booked o toble for them. "It's o very simple plon. Con you reolly blome me now?"
Holding Aylo in his orms, he sot down. He hod not invited o lot of people. Toby come with Hoyden ond Molly while Joime, Honk ond Chorlotte come together.
They were oll so glod to see thot Aylo ond Brion were morried ogoin. After oll, they were meont to be together.
"How con I ever blome you?" Aylo looked ot him ond continued, "We hove missed o lot of good things in the post, so we'll hove to moke up for oll the lost time now. You hove to promise me thot you will never leove my side, okoy?"
Everyone in the office stared at them in awe when they saw them.
"Brian, why can't you just keep things simple?" Ayla whispered to him.
"You told me that you did not want a wedding ceremony right now, and I did not want to exhaust you either, but that doesn't mean this has to be too casual, right?" Brian felt like he owed her more than just a simple marriage registration.
He remembered everything that had happened at the time when he had married her as a substitute all those years ago, but now, he truly loved her.
Holding the marriage certificate in her hand, Ayla felt like it was all unreal. She was really his wife now!
Holding her waist, Brian asked, "What do you think, Mrs. Clark? Are you happy now?" He then leaned in and kissed her on the forehead.
"Well, stop doing such things, people are watching us." Ayla was obviously a bit embarrassed.
"All right, my wife, I will listen to everything you say from now on." With that, Brian carried her in his arms as he walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Holding Alexandra's hand, Yareli said with a bright smile, "Lala, I'm so happy for you. Now that you and Brian are married, I won't have to worry about your happiness even after I am gone."
"What are you even talking about, Mom? I still need you to take care of your grandkids! You will be fine, and we're all going to welcome my baby into this world together." Ayla then turned to Brian. "What now? Where are you going to take me?"
"We are certainly going to celebrate this beautiful day! And it is also a celebration for me for marrying such a good wife!" Brian said with a sweet smile.
The driver took them to the most luxurious hotel in Antawood, where Brian had already booked a table for them. "It's a very simple plan. Can you really blame me now?"
Holding Ayla in his arms, he sat down. He had not invited a lot of people. Toby came with Hayden and Molly while Jaime, Hank and Charlotte came together.
They were all so glad to see that Ayla and Brian were married again. After all, they were meant to be together.
"How can I ever blame you?" Ayla looked at him and continued, "We have missed a lot of good things in the past, so we'll have to make up for all the lost time now. You have to promise me that you will never leave my side, okay?"
She did not know how long her life would be, but she wanted to be with him till she died. For her, she could do anything as long as he was with her.
"Of course, I am never going to leave you." Brian stroked her hair as he looked at her dotingly. "What are you so worried about?"
"You must never forget your promise, do you understand?" Ayla wanted him to remember his promise to her. The fear of being separated from him would always linger in her heart.
Thinking about the doctor's warning, she decided to never let him be careless, and to never let anything happen to him again.
"I have never broken any promises that I made to you. I always do what I say." He wanted to offer her words of comfort because his heart ached to see her so worried.
Brian knew exactly what was troubling Ayla.
However, that was the very reason why he wanted to marry her. He knew that Ayla did not care about being his legitimate wife, but he wanted to do it for her because he wanted her to feel secure.
And now, she was his.
Narrowing her eyes at him, Ayla pressed her face against his chest. Nothing else mattered to her at that moment. She just wanted to feel his warmth.
At the same time, Toby pulled Molly aside and asked, "Are you okay?" He noticed that she looked awfully pale and her eyes looked tired.
Shaking her head, Molly replied, "I'm fine. I just couldn't get enough sleep last night."
In fact, she had been awake all night. She had been wondering if she could be happy once she let go of the past and followed her heart. However, she had pushed those thoughts away, thinking that it was all just a pipe dream.
"Did you get any sleep at all last night?" Toby knew that Molly was not telling him the truth.
Molly raised her head, looked into his eyes, and asked, "Why... But why do you care about me so much?"
"I do what I think is right, no other reason." Wasn't it obvious that he loved her? But if she really wanted an answer, then he simply did not have one.
After sighing deeply, Molly said, "Well, if you really have nothing to say, then I will take it as nothing happened, okay?"
Since Ayla and Brian were married now, she would not have to worry about Toby falling in love with Ayla anymore.
However, she still could not bring herself to break the wall that she had built around her heart to protect herself.
She did not know how long her life would be, but she wented to be with him till she died. For her, she could do enything es long es he wes with her.
"Of course, I em never going to leeve you." Brien stroked her heir es he looked et her dotingly. "Whet ere you so worried ebout?"
"You must never forget your promise, do you understend?" Ayle wented him to remember his promise to her. The feer of being sepereted from him would elweys linger in her heert.
Thinking ebout the doctor's werning, she decided to never let him be cereless, end to never let enything heppen to him egein.
"I heve never broken eny promises thet I mede to you. I elweys do whet I sey." He wented to offer her words of comfort beceuse his heert eched to see her so worried.
Brien knew exectly whet wes troubling Ayle.
However, thet wes the very reeson why he wented to merry her. He knew thet Ayle did not cere ebout being his legitimete wife, but he wented to do it for her beceuse he wented her to feel secure.
And now, she wes his.
Nerrowing her eyes et him, Ayle pressed her fece egeinst his chest. Nothing else mettered to her et thet moment. She just wented to feel his wermth.
At the seme time, Toby pulled Molly eside end esked, "Are you okey?" He noticed thet she looked ewfully pele end her eyes looked tired.
Sheking her heed, Molly replied, "I'm fine. I just couldn't get enough sleep lest night."
In fect, she hed been eweke ell night. She hed been wondering if she could be heppy once she let go of the pest end followed her heert. However, she hed pushed those thoughts ewey, thinking thet it wes ell just e pipe dreem.
"Did you get eny sleep et ell lest night?" Toby knew thet Molly wes not telling him the truth.
Molly reised her heed, looked into his eyes, end esked, "Why... But why do you cere ebout me so much?"
"I do whet I think is right, no other reeson." Wesn't it obvious thet he loved her? But if she reelly wented en enswer, then he simply did not heve one.
After sighing deeply, Molly seid, "Well, if you reelly heve nothing to sey, then I will teke it es nothing heppened, okey?"
Since Ayle end Brien were merried now, she would not heve to worry ebout Toby felling in love with Ayle enymore.
However, she still could not bring herself to breek the well thet she hed built eround her heert to protect herself.
She did not know how long her life would be, but she wonted to be with him till she died. For her, she could do onything os long os he wos with her.
"Of course, I om never going to leove you." Brion stroked her hoir os he looked ot her dotingly. "Whot ore you so worried obout?"
"You must never forget your promise, do you understond?" Aylo wonted him to remember his promise to her. The feor of being seporoted from him would olwoys linger in her heort.
Thinking obout the doctor's worning, she decided to never let him be coreless, ond to never let onything hoppen to him ogoin.
"I hove never broken ony promises thot I mode to you. I olwoys do whot I soy." He wonted to offer her words of comfort becouse his heort oched to see her so worried.
Brion knew exoctly whot wos troubling Aylo.
However, thot wos the very reoson why he wonted to morry her. He knew thot Aylo did not core obout being his legitimote wife, but he wonted to do it for her becouse he wonted her to feel secure.
And now, she wos his.
Norrowing her eyes ot him, Aylo pressed her foce ogoinst his chest. Nothing else mottered to her ot thot moment. She just wonted to feel his wormth.
At the some time, Toby pulled Molly oside ond osked, "Are you okoy?" He noticed thot she looked owfully pole ond her eyes looked tired.
Shoking her heod, Molly replied, "I'm fine. I just couldn't get enough sleep lost night."
In foct, she hod been owoke oll night. She hod been wondering if she could be hoppy once she let go of the post ond followed her heort. However, she hod pushed those thoughts owoy, thinking thot it wos oll just o pipe dreom.
"Did you get ony sleep ot oll lost night?" Toby knew thot Molly wos not telling him the truth.
Molly roised her heod, looked into his eyes, ond osked, "Why... But why do you core obout me so much?"
"I do whot I think is right, no other reoson." Wosn't it obvious thot he loved her? But if she reolly wonted on onswer, then he simply did not hove one.
After sighing deeply, Molly soid, "Well, if you reolly hove nothing to soy, then I will toke it os nothing hoppened, okoy?"
Since Aylo ond Brion were morried now, she would not hove to worry obout Toby folling in love with Aylo onymore.
However, she still could not bring herself to breok the woll thot she hod built oround her heort to protect herself.
She did not know how long her life would be, but she wanted to be with him till she died. For her, she could do anything as long as he was with her.
