Chapter 622

Lucy might break up with him due to other reasons too. Then, he had to support and obey her arrangements unconditionally.

Including marriage, his future, and also his career.

Joel’s face darkened when he heard about it.

Lucy did not know about the bet between Joel and his mother at that moment. Hence, she was a little unclear while listening to Mike.

“Joel, what does this mean? A year later?”

Joel winked at Mike, motioning him to wait outside.

He then turned around and looked at Lucy seriously.

He said to her solemnly, “Lucy, I want to tell you something important, which is related to my future. Now, I’m counting on you. I’m betting all the happiness of my life in your hands. You have to promise me.”

Lucy was stunned.

She was shocked by the seriousness of his words.

She hesitated. “Joel, please don’t scare me. What happened?”

Joel suddenly laughed when he saw her pale face.

“You’re such a fool. Of course, it’s about our marriage!”

Lucy remained silent for a while.

Then, Joel told Lucy about the bet between him and his mother.

He felt that there was no need to hide this matter from her. Since they were finally back together now, he did not want to have any misunderstandings between them.

Therefore, he would rather stifle all these misunderstandings in the cradle early.

He had rather spend more time explaining to Lucy now and did not want them to break up with her because of this matter.

Fortunately, she was not angry after listening to Lucy.

She frowned and felt bad looking at him.

“I’m sorry to let you bear it all.”

Although Joel did not say anything, she understood what it meant for him to make this choice.

There were two brothers in the Foster family. The Foster family was also known as a top affluent family. However, he agreed to leave the Foster family for her sake.

In other words, if they do get together, then Joel would have nothing to do with the Foster family in the future. Everything regarding the Foster family would be meaningless to him.

Those things would not belong to him anymore.

Lucy was not a beginner. She had been working in the entertainment industry for so many years. She had also seen different kinds of people and things in this industry. All relationships were self-seeking and volatile—warm one moment, chilly the next.

She knew that in this world, no matter how intense the love was, it would eventually become ordinary.

All people in the world would always pursue wealth and this would never change.

However, he was willing to give up everything that was at his fingertips for her and cast aside his glorious identity as the chosen one.

He was willing to stay with her and be an ordinary person.

What right did she have to get angry with him and blame him?

Joel did not expect that not only was she not angry, but she also apologized to him instead.

His heart softened.

He held her hand and said softly, “Lucy, you don’t have to feel sorry for me. I made this decision voluntarily and this was just what an ordinary man should do for his beloved woman. It’s not something to brag about. I’m the one who should thank you. Thank you for being willing to accept me and continue to be with me after I have done so many wrong things. You can rest assured, no matter what happens in the future, I will love you, protect you, and will never let you hurt anymore.”

Lucy listened to his sincere vows. She was moved and immediately leaped into his arms.

Joel hugged her. He smiled while stroking her back gently.

The two embraced each other, and finally blended into one physically and mentally as if there was nothing in this world that could separate them.

Mike who had been standing there could not help being moved.

As Joel’s assistant, he had been watching these two since the beginning and knew how they had come a long way.

Although he normally had a cold temperament, it did not mean that he was a cruel and ruthless person.

On the contrary, he was just a passionate young man in his twenties.

He was at the age that was most likely to be touched by this sentiment.

He rarely smiled after seeing the two people hugging each other with intense feelings.

“Second Young Master, I have brought the papers for you. If you want to get a marriage certificate, tomorrow will be a good day.”

Joel let go of Lucy. He lowered his head and asked her, “Then should we go tomorrow?”

Although Lucy had promised to marry him, she was still shocked to hear that they were going to get the marriage certificate tomorrow.

“Isn’t it too fast?”

Joel smiled and touched her nose gently.

“My heart has been tormented for so long. I don’t want to waste any more time. How is this fast?”

The man’s sweet words made her heart as sweet as honey.

In the end, Lucy nodded.

Joel could finally laugh happily now.

The next day, the two went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to obtain a marriage certificate.

They did not tell anyone about this matter.

Lucy was still an A-list actress in the entertainment industry after all. Hence, they could not disclose this matter.

Although in Natalie’s eyes, actors and actresses were lowly and contemptible.

Joel knew that Lucy truly loved acting.

She enjoyed going into different characters and experiencing their lives, and also felt a sense of accomplishment in trying to create different characters.

Therefore, he was willing to fulfill her wish.

They decided to not disclose their marriage not only because of Natalie’s request, but also a decision made by Joel and Lucy after a unanimous discussion.

Although that was the case, the two who just got married could not help but feel excited.

They told a few close friends about the news.

Joel, Gideon, Owen, and a few more friends had a group chat.

They were all good friends in their circle.

Joel posted a photo of their marriage certificate in the group chat. They all popped out and asked him to treat them to dinner after everyone saw it.

Joel quickly agreed.

As for Lucy, she realized that there were not many friends who could be trusted after she had been in the entertainment industry for so long.

She could only trust Nell.

Therefore, she also told Nell about it.

She was very happy for her after knowing about the news.

Lucy did not say anything about Natalie. However, Nell had heard rumors regarding Natalie’s reputation. Thus, she also reminded her to be careful.

Lucy listened to her and nodded. She then asked Nell to meet up at the winery that night before ending the conversation.

After getting the marriage certificate in the morning, they had a meal at noon and went shopping at the mall in the afternoon.

Lucy once joked that Joel did not even prepare flowers or a ring when he proposed.

Although she just said it casually, she did not take it to heart.
