" This is a lot of food we have here, don't you think?" Sheila inquired looking intently at David after the room service girl left." I figured out you'll be hungry so I ordered a lot." David answered innocently." You want to mean I am a pig and that's Why you ordered all these dishes." Sheila said with a scowl on her face, making David surprised. When did he call her a pig? He was just being a considerate boyfriend and just wished to take care of his woman." I didn't say that." He replied calmly. He couldn't understand women and their logic." You didn't say that but you meant it with your words." Sheila said, pouting. She felt aggrieved by his words. David knew that if he didn't admit to his imaginary mistakes,this conversation was never going to see an end. He pampered her so he could do anything as long as she wasn't angry and that included taking blame for something he didn't do." Okay,and sorry for calling you a pig,I promise it won't happen again." He said plainly and Sheila
The two made their way to the hotel and for some reason Sheila felt her heartbeat fasten. A nagging feeling started to creep into her, racking her brains. It was eerily quiet here which was of course not normal. This was one of the most prestigious hotels and most visited since it offered a variety of amenities so why was there nobody in the vicinity?" Are they closed today?" That was the only logical explanation Sheila could come up with. She expected the hotel to be bursting with life at this time of the day." I don't know, let's go and check." David answered calmly while he berated Jordan inwardly. He only asked for a surprise proposal, and not clearing the whole hotel. He would deal with that man after this was over." Wait!" Sheila halted in her steps and tugged David's hand that was holding her. " I think we should just go back. It's illegal to trespass private property." Sheila said with all seriousness. Seeing her looking so adorable, David felt warm inside." Are you afraid
Sheila couldn't control the gasp that escaped her mouth. To say she was surprised would be an understatement. She was flabbergasted. This was the last thing she expected from David. Who would have thought that his surprise was this pleasant? Amidst her surprise,she let out a beautiful smile that was as breathtaking as a sunset by the shores. Looking at her smiling face, David's heart raced. This is because the woman before him resembled an otherworldly creature,a fairy from a painting. He could swear that this was the most enchanting and beautiful smile he has ever been graced with. He almost forgot all about his confession. He just wanted to stand and embrace her because the answer to the question popped up on the screen was already evident in her sparkling eyes. But nevertheless,he knew he had to continue as planned to show his sincerity to her. Afterall,a marriage proposal was one in a lifetime activity and he would make it special to her to the best of his ability. He braced himse
Sheila was surprised upon seeing the people who came to congratulate her and witness her memorable day. Lily was the first to run towards her. " Slow down baby,you might trip and fall." Sheila warned but the little bundle of joy did not pause. Seeing her running towards her with open arms, Sheila crouched down to meet her embrace. Lily threw herself into her beautiful sister's arms. She couldn't explain how happy she was. Finally her incompetent father did something worth her recognition.She lifted her head to look at David and Saw the smug expression on his face. It was like he was telling her,' See, your father is awesome.' Lily rolled her eyes at him, making David's veins pop out one after the other. He was the one who managed to convince Sheila to marry him, why did it seem like his daughter was not impressed at all?He planned on bragging to his daughter how efficient he was but who would have thought that she would roll her eyes at him and ignore him like he didn't exist.' T
Aunty Meng was also present and she smiled broadly at Sheila. She had watched David grow to the Man he was now. She was like a second mother to him. She knew that if there's a person who could make David happy,then it was this lady In Front of her. Ofcourse, she was very much satisfied with David's choice this time, not like his deceased wife had a problem. It's just that comparing the two, she was jolly, loving and caring. She was simple and honest.Alicia sauntered to Sheila, hugging her tightly." You know what? I never imagined that a day will come when I'll see my cousin so humbled in front of everyone. To think that he actually proposed to you, wonders do happen." Alicia praised." Congratulations dearest for taming this dragon, you deserve an award." She added, smiling pleasantly at Sheila." Always remember that you have our full support, grandma and I. Soon you'll marry my cousin and become one of us, so as earlier as now, let me officially welcome you to the family." Alicia
" Nothing much. Actually there's nothing about him that you don't have. The problem is not you,it's this," she said clutching her chest where her heart was located. " This brings the difference between the two of you. While I love you as a friend and brother,I feel something different for David. It's magical, inexplicable. I can't understand it myself but I know that without him,I might as well lose the will to live." Sheila said with a dreamy look on her face. Just thinking about the man she loved,she couldn't control the emotions swirling in her heart, making it swell with happiness and contentment, threatening to burst. Fred gritted his teeth in annoyance. He had come here to convince her to leave behind that old bastard and be with him,not to watch as she praised his enemy in his presence." Are you rubbing salt to my wounds by saying that?" Although he tried masking his deep hatred towards David,it still surfaced. " What man threatens people to stay away from others ? Does he
" It's okay." His magnetic voice did wonders to her trembling heart. At that moment Fred had pulled her and kissed her forcefully,her heart had dropped to the deepest of pits. What was running in her mind at that moment was how would David feel if he saw her at that Instance. Will he find her cheap? Or dirty? Will he misunderstand her and break up with her? Will he loathe her? With those thoughts, she had struggled but he was far stronger,not to mention he knew her, her every move so it was easy for him to cage her.." Honey,I didn't..." She wanted to explain that she just wanted to have a decent conversation with her once best friend because she was sure after this, they'll remain strangers at least. She wanted to convince him to move on and find his happiness somewhere else. She wanted to wish him luck. She wanted to say that she was sorry she couldn't return his affection. She wanted closure but who would have thought that the guy had different intentions in mind." Shhh! You do
" Yeah.. yeah I guess age has caught up with me and I am becoming emotional." Old madam Brown said, blinking some tears away. " This reminds me of back then when your mother entered our family. She was just as Young as your wife." The old woman said, smiling at the duo.After receiving the cup of tea offered by her granddaughter In law, she drank it and blessed her." Life Long to see your great grandchildren dear and welcome to the Brown family. Now,I can rest knowing that the Brown family has its Mistress." Old madam Brown added.Sheila thanked her.The two finally left after paying their respects to their ancestors. The Brown villa was referred to as the ancestral home because the ancestral chambers were within its premises. Every late member of the Brown family from the main Branch was laid there with the exception of Sandra who had asked to be buried away from home.David's first wife.David had taken Sheila to introduce her to his late wife which Sheila ofcourse did not take off
