The next day, Felix, fueled by a concoction of excitement and anticipation, headed back to the city for work. Yet, this was not an ordinary day. Felix had something special planned, a surprise that would celebrate the newfound joy of expanding their family. "I needed to prepare something for them." As Felix navigated through his workday, a sense of anticipation pulsed through his veins. He stole glances at the clock, each tick-tock echoing the seconds leading up to his meticulously planned surprise for Marianne. During a break between meetings, Felix seized the opportunity to make a phone call that would bring his vision to life. He dialed the number of a luxurious beach resort. "Hello, this is Felix," he greeted with a warmth that mirrored the love he felt for Marianne. "I'm interested in arranging something special for my partner. I was wondering if it's possible to rent out a private section of the beach for the evening?" The voice on the other end, recognizing Felix as a retu
After the last firework faded away and the sound echoed into the depths of the night, Felix and Marianne walked aside, hand in hand. "Felix," she began as her voice seemed to be a soft melody in the night; “this is more than I could ever wish for. I’ve dreamt of these moments but, tonight, it is not a dream. It is real, and it is far way more beautiful than my heart could ever wish for." His gaze still into here, he smiled. “Marianne, you deserve all the beauty and joy in this world. I wanted to make sure that you're loved and valued.""Felix, you've given me more than I ever thought possible," Marianne said, emotion glimmering in her eyes. "Tonight has been magical, thank you so much!" Felix gave her a gentle squeeze, his heart exploding with love. "I'll always strive to make you happy, Marianne. You mean everything to me." With the waves softly lapping against the coast, they strolled along the beach under the full moon. Marianne rested her head on Felix's shoulder, s
As Emma heard that Felix and Marianne had gone to visit Ramon, she felt so happy about it. She had been praying that this day would come. "I heard that you and Mr. Anderson are okay now," she said, looking at Marianne in front of her. Marianne smiled and nodded her head at the same time. "Yes, Mother. I think he deserves to be given a second chance to prove himself that he can change. That it's not too late to change and make things right." Emma nodded her head with a broad smile on her lips. She gently brushed Marianne's hair. "I am so proud and happy for you, my dear. You've been through a lot, and I think you deserve this. You deserve this happiness." Marianne couldn't help but smile while hearing those words from her mother. She then leaned in closer and hugged her. She took a deep breath, "Thank you for always being there for me, mother. I know it's not easy to be a single mother, raising me this well, I am so grateful to be your daughter." Emma stroked her back as she tig
After their dinner, Emma and Felix went to the garden. As they walked, Felix started the conversation. "Do you remember the first time we met?" Felix asked, a soft smile playing on his lips. Emma chuckled, "Oh, how could I forget? We became friends in the most unexpected circumstances. And I didn't expect that you'd be my daughter's husband." Felix chuckled, "It feels like a lifetime ago, doesn't it? I remember that day like it was yesterday." Emma nodded, "I never imagined our journey would lead us here. From strangers in a hospital to sharing a home." Felix smiled, "I think fate led us together, Mother. The first we met, I think I should have been there for you, that someone like me, would be there and take care of you." Emma looked at him, "Thank you." "For what, Mother?" he asked with confusion building inside him. "For being there with me, when I am struggling. And when I am looking for someone who I can lean on," she smiled. "Thank you," she added. Meanwhile, Nate and Cr
The next month arrived, and with it came the excitement and anticipation for Nate and Crystal's wedding. Crystal, radiant with happiness, was busy putting the final touches on her wedding gown, her heart fluttering with excitement. She took a big breath and looked in the mirror. "This is it, Crystal. This is your day," she whispered to herself, smiling broadly. While she was inside the room, the door suddenly opened and it was Marianne who head inside with a smile on her face. "Woah, you look so pretty on that dress, Crystal. It suits you well," she complimented as she walked closer towards her. Crystal smiled and said, "Thank you so much, Marianne for being here." "How are you feeling?" she asked. Crystal sighed deeply, "A little bit nervous, but I think I can handle it," she honestly replied. Marianne nodded understandingly, her eyes filled with warmth. "It's completely normal to feel nervous on your wedding day." Crystal took comfort in Marianne's reassuring words,
Later that night, as the celebration continued with music and laughter, Crystal felt a tug at her heart. "Dad," Crystal said, tapping him gently on the shoulder. "Would you like to dance with your daughter?" Ramon turned to her, a smile lighting up his face. "I'd be honored, sweetheart." The two made their way to the dance floor, which now shimmered under the soft glow of fairy lights. The music played a soulful melody, setting the perfect ambiance for this heartfelt dance. Ramon led with a gentle sway, and Crystal was surprised to know that he's such a good dancer. "I didn't know you know how to dance, Dad." Ramon chuckled, "I'm not that good, but I always do this to get a woman before," Crystal chuckled as she heard that. Crystal stared at him for a moment, "I missed you so much, Dad." Ramon nodded, his voice tender. "I missed you too, Crystal. But seeing the woman you've become, the love in your eyes, and the happiness you've found with Nate warms my heart. You've grown in
They were so happy that the wedding ended very well. The guests had enjoyed the food, and everything on the wedding. They had also loved the souveniers that they had taken home. Meanwhile, Felix and Marianne had been living well with their daughter. She smiled while looking at her daughter. "Look at her, Felix. She's grown up so fast," she uttered while wearing a wide smile on her face. Felix smiled and leaned closer to her. "Yes, she's also pretty just like you," he said and wrapped his arms around her waist. "I am so happy that finally, we're a whole family again," she said to him with a happy face. On the other hand, Emma, her mother headed towards them as they watched Zoey played with her toys. "I'm so happy that she grow up so well," she said as she looked at her daughter. "You raised her so well, Marianne. You're a good mother, Marianne. Thank you for raising her so well," she said to her daughter with a smile on her lips. Marianne then leaned in closer to her mothe
The next afternoon, while the sun painted the sky with hues of warmth, Marianne found herself eagerly answering her phone, unaware of the wonderful news that awaited her. "Hello?" Marianne's voice resonated through the phone. "Hey, Marianne! It's Ethel," came a cheerful voice from the other end. A smile lit up Marianne's face. "Ethel! How are you? It's been too long." "I know, right? Listen, I have some exciting news, and I couldn't wait to share it with you," Ethel replied, her excitement evident in her tone. Marianne's curiosity piqued. "Well, now you've got me intrigued. What's the big news?" There was a brief pause, and then Ethel delivered the words that would bring immense joy to Marianne's day. "Marcus and I have decided to set a date for our wedding." Marianne's eyes widened with delight. "Oh, Ethel! That's incredible news! I'm so happy for you two. Congratulations!" "Thank you! We're over the moon about it. And, well, there's something else. I was hoping you could help
