Chapter 83

Davin decided not to arrange for another driver and instead took the wheel himself.

He could hardly sit still, eager to be part of the moment as it happened.

The moment Amelia slid into the passenger seat,Wyatt held her hand tightly.

With every mile, Amelia's nerves grew more tangled at the thought of getting married to Wyatt.

Even so, the steady warmth of his grip and the gentle reassurance in his touch calmed her racing thoughts.When she caught the hurried beat of his heart, she felt a glimmer of relief.

It turned out Wyatt was just as nervous as she was.

Since it was a weekday, not many people are at the courthouse.

Davin's connections made things smooth, so when they walked in, staff greeted them right away.

Only one signature was needed from Amelia, and just a handful of minutes later, her marriage to Wyatt was registered. "Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Stewart! Wishing you a lifetime filledwith happiness and love!"

Davin spoke first, offering his heartfelt wishes. The sound of her new title made Amelia feel like she was in a daze.

Reality finally settled in for her when court staff came forward with their own congratulations.

She realized it was true-she and Wyatt were really husband and wife now.

Following Wyatt's request, Davin had gifts for everyone who helped that day.

Everyone who received a gift beamed with gratitude and showered Amelia and Wyatt with warm wishes.

Amelia thanked them all, unable to hide her own happiness.

Even as she slipped back into the car, a bright smile stayed on her face.

"Mr. Stewart, I've prepared all the gifts for the company's employees. Would you like me to give them out now?" Davin said.

Wyatt nearly agreed, but Amelia caught his sleeve to stop him. "Do you think we could keep our marriage between us at the office, at least for now?" she said.

Wyatt's cheerful expression faltered for a moment.Picking up on his reaction, Amelia rushed to explain,"I don't mean anything bad. I only want to do my job without everyone treating me differently because of my relationship with you."

The moment she finished speaking,Wyatt's soft laugh filled the car. "Whatever you want, I'll go along with it.We'll keep it between us for the time being."

Glancing at the stack of gifts, Amelia said with a smile,"We can hand those out once I'm no longer working in your company."

"Mrs. Stewart, is it all right if I get my present first?Maybe your happiness will rub off on me and help me find someone special," Davin said.

With a lighthearted laugh,Amelia agreed but reminded him to call her by her first name.

Only then did Amelia realize their car wasn't taking the usual route toward the Stewart Group. Instinctively,she glanced at the man beside her for answers.

Catching the sparkle in her gaze, Wyatt couldn't resist reaching over to touch her cheek. The softness delighted him, and he playfully gave it a gentle pinch before letting go. That unexpected touch made Amelia stunned, her body going completely still.

She quickly turned her head and shot Wyatt a warning look, earning a low, amused chuckle from him.

"We're not working today. Since we just got our marriage registered, let's have a day off together,"Wyatt said.

Joy seemed to radiate from Wyatt, and it wasn't long before Amelia felt happiness rise in her chest.

Although she hoped to keep their marriage a secret from Wyatt's company, she couldn't help but spill the news to Carlee and Monroe in their group chat.

"I got married!" She sent a message.

Barely a second passed before Carlee's call appeared on Amelia's phone screen.

"Amelia, this is amazing! You and Wyatt together-no one will dare mess with you now! My best friend,married to the powerful Wyatt Stewart...I could shout it from the rooftops. Just imagine how jealous Dayna will be.I-"

Carlee's enthusiasm poured from the speaker, so loud that Amelia had to hold the phone away from her ear.She quickly flashed Wyatt an apologetic smile. "Carlee, please keep quiet about the matter for now."Hearing Carlee mention Dayna, Amelia gave a gentle reminder.

Tempting as it was to share the news with the Flynn and Morrison families, Carlee respected Amelia's wishes and promised not to reveal a thing to them.

Amelia didn't have a large friend circle-Carlee and Monroe were her closest friends.

Once the call ended, Amelia looked for Monroe's reply but saw her message had gone unanswered by him.

Just as she began to wonder if Monroe had missed the news,Wyatt handed her his phone.

On the screen was a message from Monroe, and reading it brought tears to her eyes.

"Look after Amelia, please. If you ever grow tired of her, I'm begging you, let her go gently!" His words were followed by three pleading emojis.

Wyatt hadn't typed a reply yet, so Amelia took his phone and placed a video call.

On Monroe's end, he had been looking at his phone,waiting for Wyatt's answer. He immediately picked up when the video call appeared. Seeing Amelia on the screen instead of Wyatt, he blinked in surprise. "Why are you the one calling?"
