Leonard didn't think much, he took Mellisa's hand and nodded.
As they climbed the stairs, Leonard squeezed her palms hard, and his voice stiffened, "Are you nervous?"
Mellisa raised her head and looked into his deep pupils, then said with a smile, "You've asked this question so many times already."
Leonard moved his lips when he heard this, looking away self-deprecatingly.
Since he was overthinking, he couldn't sit back and relax until all matters were resolved.
Perhaps this was the only time he felt so deeply anxious about his life.
There are too many problems in the Adler family. He'd already lost Mellisa once and now he couldn't afford making another mistake!
Leonard looked at Melissa with clear and cold brows for a moment. He sighed silently, "Come on in."
Stepping into the lobby of the office of religious affairs, Leonard glanced around for a moment, then filled in the relevant information.
After a series of processes, it only took ten minutes before they had to wait for the rest.
The staff took the application form they had submitted and gave them a queue number.
After about three minutes, someone came and asked them to go to the room registration to submit information.
Leonard looked into the room registration in the right corridor, frowning suspiciously.
Where were all the documents belonging to Melissa? Did Andrew directly forward them to the staff?
Thinking about this, Leonard held his doubt for a while.
When they approached the door of the registration, a flame lit in his heart. At the age of thirty-two, he finally married the woman of his choice.
But....
After Leonard and Melissa entered the room, they were both stunned by the scene in front of them.
In the registration room, someone is already sitting there waiting!
That person is more than just staff!
Mellisa looked at the people inside in disbelief, and only after a few seconds did she say in confusion, "Grandpa Caleb, Grandpa Simon, father, mother, uncle."
The Patriarch of the Mayer family, the Patriarch of the Irwan family, and Mellisa's big family have come to Bandung!
Mellisa suddenly felt that this was very unreal.
And the shock hit Leonard beside her in such a way that his forehead immediately sweated!
In the room, Kaleb sat in the middle, holding crutches in front of him with both hands, staring at the pair seriously.
Several other people sat on either side, and no one spoke for a while.
After a long silence, Kaleb hits the ground with a stick. "Why don't you come in?"
Mellisa lowered her head guiltily, and quietly pulled Leonard over. And so they nervously stepped into the registration room.
"Mellisa we all heard you were getting married, so why didn't you tell your family?"
Compared to the more serious expressions of her two grandfathers, Dennis took the lead in breaking the silence.
It was rare for Mellisa to stand in front of several elders with low brows and head bowed. When her eyes blinked, she said, "I don't mean to hide it from you, but I plan to get a marriage certificate first and then come back to explain."
If she wanted to hide her marriage, she wouldn't let Martin and Andrew go to the Mayer house and ask for a family card along with other documents.
It's just that she never expected the elders to immediately come to judge their marriage in Bandung.
If she counted the time, it was no wonder Martin told her he would send it at three o'clock in the afternoon.
Eight hours was more than enough time for her family to fly to this city.
Mellisa lowered her eyelids, feeling annoyed in her heart.
If she had known it would turn out like this, it might have been better for her to go to Jakarta with Leonard to get their certificate. That way, she wouldn't bother her two old grandfathers.
Kaleb snorted softly upon hearing the answer, his nose and eyes quivering together. "You haven't changed since you were a child. Always careless and stubborn, and now you are still careless in your own marriage. If we hadn't come, when would you plan to return to Jakarta? Are you planning on coming only when my great-grandchildren are all grown up?"
Kaleb squinted at Melissa pretentiously. And when his voice fell, Dennis quickly intervened to keep things from getting any worse. "Dad, Mellisa wouldn't do anything like that, so don't scare her. See, her husband is very nervous!"
As soon as Dennis finished speaking, Leonard looked at him gratefully, then stepped forward and bluntly greeted them. "Grandpa, grandpa, old man, uncle, I…"
"Who is your grandfather!"
"Who is your grandfather!"
Leonard. " ... "
Two old men, Caleb and Simon, have been fighting for most of their lives, and this is the first time they have agreed on one thing.
This stinky boy secretly took their granddaughter and disappeared!
Their glare as if translating, 'Don't hope we will give up our precious Mellisa!'
Leonard could only pursed his lips and bowed his head. Before he could open his mouth again, Mellisa already stepped forward and said with a smile, "Grandpa, you two will have a great-granddaughter again!"
Caleb did not react, he just wanted to nod but his action suddenly stopped. "Huh? You think it will solve this problem?"
Mellisa smiled and rubbed her stomach, and said cheerfully, "Grandfather, I was indeed wrong by not informing you about getting this marriage certificate beforehand. I really don't want to hide it from my family, if it's true that I want to hide it, I won't let anyone else go to help me pick up the documents at home. Our relationship is complicated and not easy to come by, so I'm thinking of formalizing it first before returning home to inform you in person."
As the words fell, Caleb's old eyes fell on Mellisa's stomach. In an instant, his gaze showed excitement, and he asked, "Mellisa, is it true that you are pregnant too?"
Melissa nodded. "Grandpa, I'm a month younger than Lilia's pregnancy."
"Oh, okay, okay! I will have another great-grandchild!"
The old man patted his thigh in an instant, the traces of anger in his eyes immediately disappeared.
He pushed Richard's thigh to the side. "Get up and congratulate your daughter, don't let her stand like a fool!"
Melisa. "..."
Leonard. "..."
Richard stood up with a smile, and as he walked towards Melisa, his eyes filled with joy. "Mellisa, I'm happy for you."
After the words fell, he looked back at Leonard. He raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder. "Take good care of my daughter, she can be stubborn sometimes."
Leonard swallowed his nervousness and nodded solemnly. "Father, I will take care of her throughout my life."
Richard nodded his head and looked at Leonard without speaking.
This kid is really serious about his little girl!
"Dennis, get our family cards out so they can apply for a marriage certificate!"
Kaleb waved his hand, as if he had already given his blessing.
On the other hand, Simon still looked disapproving. He wanted to say a few more words, but Kaleb forced him to shut his mouth.
....
When the two red books of marriage certificates were handed over to Leonard and Mellisa by the staff, their eyes turned red.
Leonard stared at his marriage certificate, his handsome face unmoving.
While Mellisa is still struggling with her heart, her once lonely life is now filled with many emotions.
On this day, on May 27th, Mellisa Mayer became the wife of Leonard Adler.
Caleb and the others sat beside them with satisfaction and looked at them.
Of course they had heard of Leonard's name when he was still in Jakarta.
The man had courage and high responsibility, also loved and respected Mellisa.
Regardless of family background, as long as they were happy with each other, all was fine.
Of course they all came to Bandung not only to witness the moment they received their marriage certificate.
Most importantly, they would personally check on the Adlers.
They heard that their beloved granddaughter suffered so much while in the Adler family, even hired as a servant!
In his heart, Kaleb thought he was going to take over the Adlers for a while so that his granddaughter could have a foothold in that family!
