Still, Dulcie offered no response.

“Please, say something.

Your mother and I are deeply concerned for you!”

After a brief pause, Dulcie made the difficult decision to reveal the truth.

“There won’t be any gifts or wedding ceremony.

It’s a clandestine marriage.

Furthermore, there’s a one-year term limit.

After that, I’ll divorce him and return home alone.

There’s no need to tell our relatives about my marriage; just inform them that I’m still employed in Cadiered.

“What? What do you mean?”

Her father’s voice boomed so loudly that the earpiece malfunctioned, emitting a series of beeping sounds from the electrical overload.

Dulcie fought back the urge to cry, bracing herself for an anticipated scolding.

However, after a minute of silence, it was her mother’s gentle voice that greeted her on the phone.

Her mother’s voice was very earnest.

“Have you upset someone, or perhaps borrowed money you can’t repay, leading to this hasty marriage? Dulcie, such actions are not in line with our values.

In our community, divorce is discouraged.

Quickly ascertain if the marriage certificate can be annulled.

If it’s a debt issue, we’ll replace a way to settle it for you.

Though we may not have much, you’ve sent money home over the years, and I’ve saved it for you.

If it’s a matter of conflict, try to escape or contact the authorities.

If all else fails, provide us with the address.

Even if it means rallying the entire village, your father and I will come to your aid!”

Her mother’s tone conveyed genuine concern and anxiety, devoid of any hint of reproach.

Dulcie felt her eyes welling up with tears at her mother’s unwavering support.

Though her mother was entirely mistaken, Dulcie still felt a tug at her heart.

Just a few days ago, she’d had a blazing row with her family over her refusal to return to Tuborg for a blind date.

To her shock, Kyson had orchestrated her mother’s abduction just so they could get the necessary documents to register their marriage.

Dulcie was riddled with guilt.

“No, it’s not like that at all.

I genuinely care for him.

I signed the marriage agreement of my own free will.

Even if it’s only for a year, I believe it’s worth it.

Her mother sighed deeply.

Her father quickly snatched the phone, demanding, “Who is this man? What’s his name? What’s his family like? What does he do? Does he own a car?”

“His name is Kyson Shaw.

He once taught in Tuborg.

Dad, Mom, you both met him before.

There was another clamor on the other end of the line.

It sounded like Dulcie’s brother was asking something.

Her father heard her brother’s words and asked, curiosity mixed with conflicting emotions, “Kyson? The CEO of the Shaw Group in Stastle?”

“Yes, that’s him.

Her whole family breathed a collective sigh of relief.

They realized Dulcie had married a rich, young, and handsome man.
