“What did you do?” Daniel asked lazily while leaning against the bedroom door frame.Celine looked at his state and knew he was drunk. She approached him but kept a safe distance between them.“You’re drunk. Let’s talk once you’ve sobered up” she said calmly.There’s nothing wrong with what she did so she doesn’t feel guilty at all. She did all that to help him.Daniel’s lips slowly curled up into a seductive smile then he started unbuttoning his shirt.“You’re right, I’m drunk. Would you help me to sober up?” he slowly reached for her hand then caught her in his embrace.Feeling his hot breath on her ears, Celine could feel her whole body warming up against his. She closed her eyes trying to focus on more important things than to indulge in Daniel’s burning touch.“Your wedding has to push through. It’s the only way” she said then collected her courage to remove his hands on her waist and created a distance between them.“Really?” he asked lazily as he pulled her back closer to him a

He really wanted to investigate her complete turnaround but decided to wait for a few more days to observe.“No. I just thought it’s healthier for you to eat home-cooked meals and I’m practicing your favourites” she said then led him to the table.Their dinner was spent in silence with only their utensils making the sound. Daniel observed how Celine is behaving like a proper lady during meal time and it’s killing him to see her like that.“What are you doing?” finally he asked after Celine slowly put a slice of his favourite lemon sponge cake in

“No. It’s just that we didn’t expect you guys tonight” Aunt Marge immediately composed herself then walked towards the sofa in the living room.She knew it was late but she could not wait to hear their reason for dropping by at such a late hour.When the three of them settled, Aunt Marge looked at Daniel for explanation. She saw Celine fiddling with her thumbs and clearly uncomfortable.“Well” Daniel started.“Celine wanted to see what a real couple looks like” he explained casually but he felt his cheeks warming up.Celine was caught off-guard hearing his explanation. It was he who suggested to move back with the Stevensons. How could he use her as an excuse now?“Actually, Aunt Marge” she hurriedly object.She calmed herself and steady her voice before continuing. She cannot just contradict Daniel in front of his mother.“What Daniel meant was, we are trying to be a better husband and wife to our future partners” she managed to explain without looking at Daniel.“Since Daniel is get

“What are you doing here?” Celine asked as soon as Daniel went to the kitchen.She already forced the servants to leave her alone so she can act freely. Now, Daniel is here. Who’s next? Aunt Marge and Uncle Edward?She never wanted to make cooking a family affair.“Father asked me to help you. Don’t mind me, I will just watch” he said casually while looking at her ingredients.He saw a marinated chicken and potatoes.He suddenly felt hungry.Just as he said, he just watched how Celine efficiently whipped up mashed potato and coleslaw while grilling the chicken barbecue.In a record time, she has completed plating and their dinner were served immediately.“You cooked all these?” Aunt Marge exclaimed clearly impressed.It seems she has underestimated Celine’s capabilities.Celine gladly accepted the older lady’s praise and excitedly explained how she usually prepares ready-to-cook meals.“So even when I’m not around, Daniel can still have home-cooked meals” she explained.“This is nice”

She’s planning to have an early morning swim” Butler John patiently explained.Everyone noticed Mr. Stevenson’s furrowed eyebrows hearing the butler’s explanation.“Call her” he ordered.It’s seldom the family is complete. He wanted to have meals together since everyone is around.“If she says she wants to swim, just let her be” Daniel objected against his father.“Good morning” Celine’s voice greeted everyone before she sat beside Daniel.Mr. Stevenson was observing Celine as soon as she arrived. She didn’t look like she came from a swim. Is she avoiding the breakfast?“How’s your swim?” Mr. Stevenson asked while having a bite on his egg muffin.Celine looked at the older man before smiling.

After getting further instructions from the old man, she led the group back to the car and relayed the instructions to Lucas.“He said in 200 metres we will see an arc and we should turn left there. From the arc, we need to drive 500 metres more and his men will be waiting for us” she instructed and Lucas started driving slowly.When they reached the designated spot, they were greeted by two men: one old and one teenager. They must be father and son.“Welcome, Ms. Yates” the older man greeted them. Celine replied then introduced her company.“You can leave the car here; we’ll take the horses to the barn” the old man suggested.“What?” Aunt Marge asked.“Madam, this whole property beyond the fence is carbon-neutral territory, we cannot allow the car to come inside or else, we will lose our current standing and benefits” the old man explained carefully.Seeing there’s no point in arguing, they all followed the old man and his son to an old looking…Carriage???She felt like she went bac

Let’s just enjoy our little vacation” Aunt Marge’s gentle voice calmed her down.Old Man Zach observed their interaction and felt curious.They must have a good relationship as in-laws.***Inside the car, just outside the farmgate, Lucas felt his ears were already bleeding listening to Daniel’s threatening voice.‘If anything happens to either of them, you will pay with your own life’ the young master was fuming.He only calmed down when Mr. Stevenson continued their conversation.He reported everything he learned and how the ladies were enjoying their stay which the old master appreciated.After a few more reminders from Mr. Stevenson, they ended their call and he went back to the main house.“I should be there. She’s a city girl, dad. She wouldn’t survive outside the city” Daniel objected.He already contracted a choppe

Celine was caught off-guard when her father was mentioned.She knew her father is always a sore topic amongst the Stevensons.She looked at the older lady to see any resentment in her eyes but she only saw curiosity. She tried to imagine the mighty Roland Yates but she could not imagine him living in a farm.She shook her head then smiled at the older lady.“For as long as I can remember, my father’s only focus is work. He always went overseas just to meet potential business partners. Doesn’t matter how short or how long his trips were as long as there is an opportunity, he would definitely go. I remember asking him if his trips were tiring and he would just smile.”“I think he was contented after his overseas trips that’s why I always know that his work gives meaning to his life and was always his priority” she recalled her father’s face longingly.Aunt Marge nodded as if seeing Roland Yates in a new light.“Your father didn’t bring you along?”“I think when I was a child, he would b

Now she only wanted for Celine to have babies so she can guide her through motherhood.“Still work, Linda?” Daniel teased.“Actually, no. I want her to enjoy her motherhood so she has to sign the formalities as soon as possible” Linda objected.“Pbbft. Motherhood will only come once she’s ready.

The old man was really grumpy.And why wouldn’t he?Celine said that the ceremony will only involve a few guests. And it would be a simple celebration. However, as soon as she started setting up her decorations, he knew it wasn’t as simple as she claimed it to be.Since he could not convince them to stop, he left the farm as soon as they started putting up the tent and only came back when he received the message that the farm is back to its previous order.He could already see their eco-friendly rating dropping from the charts. He still needed to submit reports to explain that the event did not pollute the environment.So, he is really grumpy right now. He has a lot of work to do.If the spoiled owner wanted to discuss business he needed to calm down for a day before he would be willing to negotiate.To be honest, he’s beginning to have second thoughts on selling the property to Celine.

Everyone kept their silence when they saw Celine followed by Daniel.If looks could kill, Daniel would have been dead by now based from the glaring stares he’s getting. Even Aaron who adored him looks at him disappointingly now.He knew he made a mistake but he can explain himself if he will be given a chance. All that matters to him now is that Celine agreed to be his wife for real. The rest will follow later on.“Let’s have dinner now. Celine is hungry” Daniel said to break the deathly glares directed at him.The rest of the group snapped out of their own worlds when they heard Celine was hungry.Sylvia immediately went to the kitchen to check on the food while Aunt Marge prepared the dining table.Celine wanted to help but everyone wanted her to rest.She thought about what happened in the afternoon and they must have felt pity for her.Her heart warms up at the special treatment she’s receiving.“Uhhmm.

Daniel tried to swallow hard to remove the lump building in his throat.Suddenly, it was very difficult to breathe after realizing what happened.He let the elders scold him so he could punish himself but Sylvia’s silence was more than he could take.No one said another word anymore. No matter what they wanted to say, it’s all useless now.They were at this stand still when the Blooms arrived.“Ah, Daniel you came. Celine would be relieved” Dr. Bloom was filled with vigour.He never expected the wedding atmosphere to lift Grandma Bloom’s spirits.They just came from the make-shift tent where she inspected the final decorations and her eyes were dreamy.“Let’s get married again tomorrow, dear” she joked as she gave instructions to the wedding planning team.“Grandma” Daniel greeted.Grandma Bloom acknowledged his presence but turned her attention to the la

Their reactions were not like as she has expected.“What if Daniel doesn’t want to get married?” Aunt Marge suddenly asked.She was worried that Daniel would have to give in to Celine again.For the Stevensons, they place a high value to marriage and family. Since their businesses could easily attract those unscrupulous characters, they needed the kind of security that only blood and family could provide.“Of course, Daniel will marry Celine. There’s no way that Daniel will object” Sylvia defended Celine from the Stevensons.“I understand all your concern. Of course, Daniel will have to agree this time. Anyway, I prepared the ceremony thinking that Daniel has really found a wife. It turns out, it’s only a ruse to throw off the Solomons.” Celine explained.“Daniel has already said that he will only get married because of love. I guess later I will know if he sees me as his potential

If it were Celine, she would have definitely dug herself out of that room. But then again, she’s Britney Smith, only she can do what she does and only she can accept this kind of embarrassment.“Britney, just cross Daniel’s name on your list. He’s not used to dealing with emotions so you will really lose out. He’s also not romantic so you will be really bored. Aren’t you embarrassed if you have to set an appointment with me if you want to have intimate nights with him? Even if you managed to marry him, he will not acknowledge your marriage in public so no one will really know that he’s your husband. Trust me on this one, he’s been married for seven years now and yet no one knows about his wife. If you want to receive flowers, you will either have to plant it yourself or order it online to

So, I thought I can call you again since you’re divorced now” Britney said sheepishly.Daniel heaved a deep breath to calm the rage he felt before replying again.“Ms. Smith, news of my divorce may have circulated but it doesn’t mean anyone can just call me for dates. I’m not that desperate.” he replied in a stern voice.“That’s not what I meant, Daniel. I just got back to the country and I have a project proposal. Knowing your work ethics, you wouldn’t let a good opportunity pass. I mentioned your divorce because I think your ex-wife will not be jealous anymore if we went f

Mom is feeling under the weather so Tiff is accompanying her for now” Aaron felt cold sweats appearing on his forehead.
