The Soft-Hearted Wife of Mr. Big Shot-Chapter 254: Where Is the Household Registration Book?
On the second day of the new year, Leo and Holly went to visit Rose Sawyer.
"Isn’t it quite remote?"
The road was bumpy, Holly turned to look at Leo and slowly inquired.
She had originally fallen asleep, but the journey was so bumpy that she woke up.
The place where Rose Sawyer lived was extremely remote, but the scenery was really nice; Rose said living here was peaceful.
Leo: "It’s okay."
Once they arrived at the place and walked into the courtyard, they heard the sound of playing mahjong in the living room and the sounds of conversation.
"They’re playing mahjong."
Holly couldn’t help but twitch her lips for a moment, her tone carrying a trace of helplessness.
Besides traveling, it seemed Rose Sawyer’s life consisted mainly of playing mahjong, often staying up all night playing.
"Seems leisurely."
Leo chuckled, his eyes filled with amusement.
Holly pushed open the door, and the people in the living room heard the noise and turned their heads.
They saw a man and woman standing at the door, the man tall and handsome, the woman petite and charming. Standing together, they looked quite well-matched.
"Oh, this is Holly, isn’t it? She’s gotten even prettier."
"This time you brought your boyfriend back, good taste."
"I thought you were busy with work this year and wouldn’t come back to accompany your mom."
"Holly truly is growing prettier and more beautiful."
"This child is both beautiful and capable, truly a child from another family."
"Rose, you really are the one we envy the most."
The women playing mahjong with Rose Sawyer started to praise Holly uncontrollably the moment they saw her.
Holly truly was both beautiful and capable, something they could see clearly, truly a child from another family.
"Happy New Year, Aunties."
Holly’s words were sweet as she greeted them warmly.
"This is my boyfriend Leo."
"Leo, this is Mrs. Hughes, this is Mrs. Ross, and this is Mrs. Jennings."
Holly introduced Leo with a smile, her voice gentle and sweet.
"Hello, Mrs. Hughes, hello, Mrs. Ross, hello, Mrs. Jennings."
Leo greeted them.
"Mom."
Leo’s gaze fell on Rose Sawyer’s face, he paused for a moment, then called out.
He was considering whether this title was appropriate.
"Hey."
Rose responded, the smile on her face never fading.
She was quite happy.
Because Holly brought Leo back, the aunties found excuses to leave, saying they had things at home to attend to, and the game ended.
They were understanding people, leaving time for Rose to spend with her daughter and future son-in-law.
"Mom, this is something Leo bought for you."
Holly placed a box in front of Rose Sawyer and spoke slowly.
Rose Sawyer said, "That’s thoughtful."
She liked Leo as a son-in-law, and was friendly towards him.
The few of them sat in the living room, chatting happily while munching on sunflower seeds, the atmosphere was harmonious.
In the afternoon, Leo went into the kitchen to start cooking, preventing Holly and Rose from coming in to help, saying he could handle it on his own.
"By the way, Mom, where did you keep the household registration book?"
Holly suddenly inquired, her gaze landing on Rose Sawyer.
You definitely need the household registration book to get a marriage certificate.
"Huh, what do you need the household registration book for?"
Rose was momentarily surprised, a bit bewildered.
"It’s needed for the marriage certificate."
Holly’s tone was consistently calm.
"Oh, okay, I’ll get it for you later."
Rose’s initial attitude was quite calm, surprisingly calm.
"What? Marriage certificate? When are you planning to get the marriage certificate?"
Very quickly, Rose reacted, stunned, she looked at Holly incredulously, her eyes filled with surprise.
Marriage certificate?
Marriage certificate?
Marriage certificate?
Holly said she was going to get a marriage certificate?
"I’m planning to get the certificate on January sixth and hold the wedding in April."
Holly’s voice was flat, as if she was merely informing Rose Sawyer about the matter.
Not discussing, but notifying.
"What the hell, Holly are you notifying me? Did you discuss this with me?"
"You’re notifying me when you’re getting married, and as your mother, I’m finding out so late."
"Holly, have you gotten independent wings? Telling me something so important in such a calm manner."
Rose’s gaze fell on Holly’s face, she gently furrowed her brows, showing a bit of displeasure between them.
Initially, she didn’t react, but after processing it, her reaction was quite strong.
Her only daughter was about to get married, she surely needed to have some reaction.
"You yourself said I should get married early, let you have grandchildren early, are you trying to go back on your words?"
Holly raised an eyebrow, smiling at Rose Sawyer, her eyes filled with playful amusement.
Rose indeed said similar things.
Rose was speechless, she indeed said similar things, with no flaw at all.
Rose: "Alright then."
"So can you give me the household registration book?"
Holly extended her hand to Rose Sawyer and slowly spoke.
Well, having the household registration book means they can get the marriage certificate, which indeed is quite a happy thing.
"Alas, words spoken really can’t be taken back, I’ll give it to you later."
Rose Sawyer shook her head, speaking slowly, with a trace of helplessness.
"If you want, you can also find someone to keep you company."
Holly looked at Rose Sawyer for a full ten seconds, then spoke.
After so many years, Rose has always been alone, whether traveling the world or living, it’s basically just herself.
Holly feels that Rose could find someone to accompany her in her later years.
Rose shook her head: "No need."
At this age, it’s not really necessary.
"You can also move in and live with us, see how you feel."
After her marriage, Rose will truly be alone, Holly wouldn’t abandon her own mother.
In life, if Rose desires, she can live with them.
"I won’t disturb you young couple, I can occasionally come over to visit."
"Still, once you have a child, I can come to help take care of them."
Rose said, her tone surprisingly gentle.
"I’ll discuss with Leo later; the first-born child will take my surname." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Holly understands what Rose is thinking, in Rose’s generation, there’s only Rose as the Sawyer girl; if her and Leo’s future child takes the Sawyer name, the Sawyer family line would end.
"Okay, if he disagrees, that’s fine too."
Rose gently nodded, if Leo agrees, it would be best, but if Leo disagrees, Rose doesn’t mind either.
"He will agree."
Holly said confidently, her eyes filled with a smile.
Leo always likes to accommodate her, it’s impossible for him to disagree on such matters.
Just a surname issue; if Leo disagrees, it might be because...
Then Holly feels that it would be better not to get married.
