BOOKSDRAMA Chapter 777
Chapter 777:
Silver Fox hadn't expected that sleeping in Burnet's hospital bed would yield such a surprisingly good sleep. It was nearly dreamless.
However, she didn't wake up on her own. Instead, it was Burnet who nudged her awake.
He probably didn't realize she suffered from a severe case of morning
grumpiness. If she wasn't allowed to wake up at her own pace and was instead abruptly awakened, her mood would turn sour quickly.
While she was deep in sleep, she felt a nudge that made her rock back and forth. Since she was unable to continue her peaceful slumber, her irritation flared.
Without opening her eyes, she swung her hand.
Her hand landed with a "smack" on something solid, making a particularly loud sound.
From that, she deduced she had slapped someone's face.

With reluctance, she opened her eyes and turned her head to find a red palm print on Burnet's face.
She was truly embarrassed. She had accidentally slapped him again.
When Silver Fox saw his stern, handsome face, her morning grumpiness instantly dissolved. How could she maintain it now?
Before she could speak, Burnet sneered, "Is slapping people a hobby of yours, Miss Swain?"
Silver Fox stiffened her neck and then sat up, retorting defiantly, "You nudged me first. I was sleeping soundly. Why did you wake me?"
Burnet realized she had morning grumpiness and had slapped him purely out of reflex. He deserved that slap.
Even though he had been aware of her grumpiness in advance, his eagerness to marry her, fearing she might reconsider, would have still made him wake her.
Since she was to become his wife that day, he decided not to hold a grudge over the slap.
He moderated the stern look on his face, sat down by the bed, and spoke kindly. "Get up and wash up. We need to go to City Hall to get married."
As he spoke, he handed her a thick stack of papers. "Here are the full-body check-up results. I paid a lot to have them done overnight with special permission from the hospital. All the results are here."
Silver Fox couldn't help but smirk. She didn't understand his rush.
His body and face were still healing, yet he had gone through a full-body check- up overnight.
She picked up the report, glanced at it briefly without really looking at the details, and then tossed it aside.
She hadn't suspected him of harboring any illness. He appeared strong and robust, hardly the image of someone ailing. Her insistence on the check-up was merely to annoy him.
Observing his confident demeanor, she was convinced he was in perfect health, with nothing to fret about.
When she casually tossed the report aside, Burnet queried, "Did you finish reading it so quickly? Are you sure you examined everything thoroughly?"
"I'm a quick reader. Is that a problem?" Silver Fox snapped back, still somewhat irritable.
Although she had tamped down her morning grumpiness due to his presence, her annoyance was still simmering. Now that it seemed he wouldn't press her further, her irritability resurfaced.
Unbeknownst to her, this was what it meant to be pampered.
"Of course, it's fine," Burnet replied with a smile. "Miss Swain, your quick reading and intelligence are traits I truly admire."
Silver Fox pouted, not in the mood to engage further.
Burnet persisted. "So, Miss Swain, could you please get up and get ready?"
Silver Fox glared at him. "What's the rush? It's still early. City Hall isn't open yet, right?"

Burnet patiently explained, "If you get
ready now, we can have breakfast,

and afterward, I'll accompany you back to the hotel to collect your identity documents. By the time we reach City Hall, it will be opening." The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest chapter there!

"Even so, there's no need to hurry,
right?" Silver Fox retorted unhappily. "City Hall is open all day. They can' NO
issue the marriage certificate anytime. Why are you pushing this so early in the morning?" The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest chapter there!
At this, Burnet found himself at a loss for words.
His eagerness to make her his legal wife was immense; he was prepared to wait
outside City Hall early, just to be the first to get married when they opened.
Yet, he couldn't bring himself to admit this to Silver Fox.

As he pondered how to coax her into getting ready, Silver Fox suddenly declared, "Besides, Ydon't even want to get married or have kids with you anymore..." The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest chapter there!
