Chapter 1208: Carter Lockwood Is My Husband

Not long after, the doorbell rang, and Anna quickly went to open the door.

With Anna leading the way, Carter Lockwood followed behind her.

Mrs. Monroe froze when she saw Carter had come.

Hadn’t Carter gone back to The Lockwood Family after dropping them off?

“Why are you still here?”

“He was waiting for me.” Anna answered for Carter.

She felt it was better to call Carter over and talk about it together.

“Mom.”

Anna reached out and linked arms with Carter. “What I told you last time about me getting married was true.”

“Carter is my husband.”

As soon as Anna finished speaking, Mrs. Monroe, who was holding a glass of water, was stunned. She thought she’d misheard, and in her panic she knocked over the glass in her hand.

“Anna, this isn’t something you can joke about!”

Mrs. Monroe came back to her senses and warned Anna, displeased.

When Anna said she got married, Mrs. Monroe had taken it as a joke and didn’t take it seriously.

Now that Anna had brought the man in front of her, and it was Carter, she had no choice but to believe it.

“Honey.”

To make Mrs. Monroe believe, Anna looked up at Carter and said, “Call her Mom.”

As soon as she finished, Carter called out, “Mom!”

Mrs. Monroe had just steadied the cup when she heard Carter call her “Mom,” and was so startled she knocked the cup over onto the table again.

She was sure she had to be hallucinating.

When did her daughter get together with Carter!

“Just now you said the two of you are married?”

“Real marriage or fake marriage?!”

They were probably just dating, Mrs. Monroe thought to herself.

To make her believe, Anna pulled out a photo from her phone and set it in front of Mrs. Monroe. “Mom, this is the marriage license for me and Carter.”

“If you still don’t believe me, I’ll bring the actual certificate over for you tomorrow.”

Seeing the photo of Anna and Carter on the license, their information, and the civil affairs bureau’s official seal, how could Mrs. Monroe still say she didn’t believe it?

“No, no, that’s enough!”

Mrs. Monroe couldn’t handle the shock; she needed a sip of water to steady herself.

But she’d already knocked over the water in the cup; it was gone.

Just as she was about to get up, Carter poured some water and handed it over.

Mrs. Monroe took it, and just as she drank a sip, she heard Carter call “Mom” by her ear again. She was so startled she swallowed the water in one gulp and started coughing nonstop.

Anna went over and gently patted Mrs. Monroe’s back. “Mom, I only found myself a good husband. Do you really have to be this worked up?”

“If you’d found a beggar, I wouldn’t be this worked up! But this is Carter.”

Mrs. Monroe was truly scared out of her wits; she never would have imagined her daughter would actually get married and get the license with Carter.

“Just look at you,” Mrs. Monroe scolded Anna angrily. “From head to toe, where exactly do you match up to Carter?”

Who was Carter?

The one in charge of The Lockwood Family, and the outstanding one among his generation.

He and Young Master Grant weren’t even on the same level.

Anna had failed at chasing Sean; who would have thought she’d end up landing Sean’s uncle.

“Mom.” Anna protested unhappily. “How am I not a match for Carter?!”

“Besides, he’s the one who chased after me.”

Mrs. Monroe didn’t believe it, so Carter picked up the conversation.

“Mom, my feelings for Anna are sincere.”

“Getting the license might have been a bit impulsive, but I’ve liked Anna for many years.”

“Marrying her is because I want to give her a better life, to keep her this happy forever.”

In Mrs. Monroe’s eyes, Carter was a man of few words; this was the first time she’d heard him say so much, and it was all because of her daughter.

Mrs. Monroe’s mind was in turmoil; she needed time to digest all of this.
