Feeling trapped, Nicole decided against moving elsewhere.

The girl's boyfriend sat beside the girl and greeted Nicole and Jarrod cheerfully, “Hi there!" The young girl smiled brightly at Nicole.

Unable to ignore the young girl's friendly demeanor, Nicole nodded back and greeted, "Hi."

“Miss, you're incredibly beautiful. You must be a celebrity!" the girl commented, her eyes alight with curiosity.

Nicole felt slightly embarrassed. She was hiding scars under her fisherman hat and mask. Only her expressive eyes were visible.

Despite the concealment, Nicole's eyes were captivating, lending her the aura of a celebrity discreetly arriving to be wed.

“No, I'm just another regular person," Nicole responded modestly.

“You appear anything but ordinary. And your husband is extraordinarily handsome! I can't recall when I last saw such a handsome man," the girl remarked with enthusiasm.

This praise managed to slightly melt Jarrod's typically frosty demeanor. He then took the initiative to say, "Hello." It wasn't motivated not by the flattery, but by the endearing way she referred to him as Nicole's husband.

The girl blushed deeply, visibly flustered by the handsome Jarrod.

The girl's boyfriend immediately felt a flash of jealousy. “Could you dial it down a bit? You're almost drooling," he joked, his voice free of any real disapproval.

Regaining her composure, the girl playfully scolded, "You know I always blush at the sight of a handsome man."

The girl then turned to Nicole with a friendly grin. "Miss, please don't take it the wrong way. I just find your husband to be stunningly handsome. That's all."

Her boyfriend added, "Miss, I apologize on her behalf. She's always been overly enthusiastic about handsome men on TV. It's rare for her to encounter one in person, so she got a little excited."

“It's okay. I'm not offended. And for the record, he isn't my husband yet," Nicole clarified.

Nicole remained unaffected by their exchange. In all honesty, she was indifferent to others admiring Jarrod.

However, her comment dampened the atmosphere slightly. Everyone here was waiting to get a marriage certificate. The fact of whether Jarrod was currently her husband seemed trivial since they were on the verge of marriage.

Nicole's pointed clarification seemed somewhat awkward.

Jarrod's face turned stern, but he chose not to offer any unnecessary explanations.

The girl chuckled and said, "Miss, you're something. One moment not married, he's not your husband yet. I should take a leaf out of your book. You're absolutely right."
