Chapter 118
I hope this continues. I smiled at what he said. And he noticed that.. He hugged me tightly. I stood up and hugged him back.
“Yuan, even just for one year.. Take me seriously so I can feel the feeling of being taken seriously.” I said.
“Seriously? You don’t want to experience being loved and cared for by me?” he asked with raised eyebrows. I smiled.
“Of course I want to. Who doesn’t want something like that.” I answered with a smile.
“No need to worry. It’s not just a year. Do you want to be with me, for real?” His voice was serious and tender.
“Who doesn’t like that? Of course I do.” I replied with a smile.
“Engagement and wedding for real? Not just a deal anymore?” Yuan asked with a smile. I nodded in agreement.
“Let’s go! I want that!” I happily said. He nodded.
We went to the kitchen and cooked lunch for the children. Yohann and Dryce are very happy because they will be able to experience Lutong bahay. Their parents cook it themselves. Because I don’t remember if I experienced it. Maybe, yes?
Mommy and Daddy visited around two o’clock in the afternoon. Fortunately, I was able to bake cookies and cakes. It was supposed to be for the children but since they came to visit it was also for Mommy and Daddy.
“How are you here, my daughter?” Mom asked.
“It’s fine. How about you, Mom and Dad?” I have a serious question.
“We’re fine. We just missed you so we came to visit. Hello kids..” she greeted Axendryce and Yohann.
“Hello, Mommyla!” Dryce greeted enthusiastically. Then kiss Mommy’s cheek.
“Hello.” replied Yohann who was still a bit shy. I just smiled at them. They blessed on my mommy and Daddy.
“They are very beautiful and handsome children.” Mom’s praise
“God bless you.” they said to Dryce and Yohann one after the other after blessing them.
“Thank you!” they responded at the same time.
Yohann and Dryce played with Mommy and Daddy. Yuan hugged me tightly.
“Thank you for accepting me.” he said suddenly.
“No worries.. It’s a good thing you cut me off. What about you, you don’t want to play anymore.” I said laughing. He nodded then kissed my forehead.
“Who wouldn’t hit you? That’s a good catch. It’s just my luck and you like me.” he said in a serious voice. I was thrilled there.
“Mom! Dad! Come join us. Circle around and guess who you touched. Then if it’s right, it’s their bet. If it’s wrong, it’s you until you catch someone and guess the name. Let’s go!” Yohann’s long litany. We agreed and played with them.
We are always laughing because Yohann and I are in the net when they are the bet.. I’m the only one who can quickly predict us and Dryce. Even Mommy and Daddy were happy because they were also involved.
It ended until four o’clock when we played and we felt hungry. Good thing the snack made by the cook is already cooked. Yuan and I took care of them first.
“Thank you for your time, Mommy and Daddy!” Dryce said cheerfully. The two adults smiled and hugged Dryce.
“It feels good to have a grandchild.” said Daddy. Yuan and I both smiled.
“Yeah, just real.” Mom said. Later they also said goodbye.
“Well, we’re going home first. Your engagement is tomorrow. Finally, we’ve waited too long for this. We’ll be back tomorrow for the Engagement Party.” Mommy said.. I just nodded. People are also starting to organize the Mansion because our Engagement Party will be held here. Everyone is invited.
Tomorrow..
Many acquaintances, business partners and family members, even relatives of Yuan and I, attended. They kept greeting me with Congratulations. And we welcome you.
The program has started and Yuan and I thanked those who attended then we invited them to come weeks from now. We have been preparing for the wedding for a long time. Ninong Hawkes took care of others then.
We will also wear a red qipao. It was very beautiful, fitted and long. I am also wearing ornaments. Because in Chinese culture, red symbolizes happiness, prosperity and good luck. Today, modern weddings call for the bride to wear a white bridal gown, and a third ball gown throughout the evening. But since Yuan is Chinese, we chose the Traditional Chinese theme. Because it’s more beautiful and more unique for me. It seems that white gowns are common at weddings. Then I feel like I’m in a Chinese Romance when I wear that at our wedding itself.
“Congratulations!” Rj said. This is Yuan’s friend.
“Thank you!” I said and Yuan said.
They just drank and I remained silent.. Miles and Herlene who are also friends of theirs talked to me. They say Khyla is gone because like Hershey, she died early. Joshua, Jasteen and Raz were there. Yuan’s friends since College. I happily bonded with them as if we had known each other for a long time. It’s funny to think that I never felt out of place with them.
“You know, twins and your habit is the same.” Herlene said.
“Huh? who?” I wondered.
“Hershey. You are the same.” Miles also said. I just smile.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
“Maybe it’s just a coincidence. To me, she’s very unique and much taller than me. She’s not as rich as me, but I admire her.. She’s been through a lot.” I said to them seriously. They just smiled at me.
“We’re happy for you, especially Yuan. It’s been a long time since we’ve accepted that Hershey is gone. We’re happy to see Yuan happy again and find a girl like you. I just hope you don’t give up on her.” Miles said which making me smile.
“Thanks a lot.” I said smiling. There is something in my heart that feels like being caressed by a warm palm. I am very happy that they accept us. Especially, they are friends with Hershey. Hershey who left a good memory in all of them and in their hearts and minds. He is amazing.
The Engagement Party ended we had a lot of fun and they were all drunk. Even Yuan. I just shook my head here. I didn’t really think that he got drunk quickly.
“Why did you drink too much alcohol? You can’t..” I said annoyed.
“It’s just today. I’m just happy because we’re done. Sister Kaycee and Sister Joyce didn’t come because they were busy.” he said making me smile even though I don’t know what he said.
