The next morning, everyone was divided.The men were taken to the annex for breakfast and to pass the time until it was time to get dressed, while the women stayed in the main mansion.“Good morning,” David greeted. “Gentlemen, after breakfast, my assistants will arrive with your clothes and special equipment for anyone who wants help with makeup and hairstyling.”“I’ll take that. I want to get rid of my dark circles,” Christian said, stifling a yawn.“Long night?” Jayden asked.“Yeah… sorry.”“Don’t worry, we’ve all been there,” George said.“I’m just starting to experience it,” Elliot said.“Just wait. But… I stayed up a bit late trying to finish work so I could at least enjoy these two days off and rest a bit more,” the dark-haired man said, stretching.“We all went through that phase, but once you see your company gaining momentum, you’ll realize it was all worth it,” Eric said.“Now is the time for sleepless nights, but in a few years, you’ll be reaping the rewards of yo
Between chatting, some jokes, and demolishing tower after tower of blocks, the girls finally finished getting ready.Naturally, the gentlemen were the first to head off to the church.As soon as they left, David rushed to check on the girls.“Ladies, hurry up!” he called as he entered the house. “We’ll be leaving in five minutes, so just a few last touches and—wow, Deborah!” he exclaimed when he saw her in her wedding dress. “You look stunning. That dress is gorgeous on you.”“It was worth the wait. Now she looks spectacular in a dress she loves,” Samantha commented. “Even if she had worn a dress with my little grandson still inside her, she would have looked beautiful.”“But she wouldn’t be able to enjoy the toast,” Caroline said.Deborah and David exchanged a glance at that comment.“By the way, Caroline,” David said, moving closer to admire Deborah’s face, “if you don’t mind, could I have your business card? Your work is so professional, and I’d love to feature you in my cata
“Alright, everyone to your places! Let’s let them know we’ve arrived so we can start the procession!” David began organizing his assistants, who began inviting guests to take their seats and get everything ready for the signal to start.“Sir, here’s the basket,” one of the assistants arrived, running with a basket full of rose petals.“Thanks,” David said, taking the basket. “James, sweetheart, look what they’ve brought for you.”James excitedly reached for the basket, eager to grab the petals.“Hehe, James is the cutest flower boy,” Samantha said, giving him a kiss on his cheek, leaving a mark from her lipstick.“Ah… haha,” James was thrilled by the affection and his new toy, tossing the petals into the air.“Hold on, sweetie, it’s not time to throw them yet,” Deborah said, approaching to stop her little one. “Wait a moment, and then you can throw them.”“Haha.”“It looks like he’s eager to do it,” Christian joked.“Hehe, James makes his own rules,” Caroline said.“Alright,
It was a beautiful ceremony where the love between the couple was palpable as they followed the church protocol and exchanged their wedding vows.The most significant moment came when they removed their old wedding rings to replace them with the new ones Elliot had provided. James, in his tiny suit, reached out for his parents when he saw them kiss.“Is James jealous of his mom?” one of the guests asked.“Well, generally, kids tend to cling to their mothers,” another guest commented.“That’s not it,” Samantha said. “He’s jealous because he likes being the center of attention.” This comment made everyone smile as they watched Jayden approach to lift his son and return to his wife, where together they gave James a kiss on the cheek, eliciting joyful laughter.The reporters invited to the event didn’t miss a moment, capturing everything from the arrival of the groom to the heartwarming family kiss.As they were about to head to the reception hall, they received an invitation from Da
“Thank you so much for coming,” Jayden said as they finished talking with some of his friends.“Deborah,” David approached them, giving the brunette a thumbs-up.“Okay, we’re coming,” she said, smiling at him.“What’s going on?” Jayden asked, confused.“Come on, love, we’re about to unveil the dessert table for the guests.”“Oh, right, let’s go,” Jayden said, intertwining his hand with hers as they headed to the area, which was covered with a curtain.When they arrived at the location, Deborah signaled the DJ.“Ahem… attention, please,” the DJ announced. “At this moment, we invite you to direct your gaze to the mysterious part of the party as the newlyweds have a surprise to share with you.”“Ooh… what is it?” Elliot asked excitedly.“…” Deborah took the microphone that was offered to her while Jayden held James. “Good evening, everyone. First of all, thank you so much for attending our wedding,” she said with a smile. “As our DJ mentioned, it’s time to reveal what’s behind th
The wedding was simply perfect—everything from the decorations, the food, the entertainment, the ambiance, and the surprise of the new baby made it an unforgettable event for everyone.However, the highlight was undoubtedly the special month Jayden and Deborah spent enjoying their honeymoon on the beach.As the month came to an end, it also marked the end of their vacation as they were coming back just two weeks before James’s first birthday.Fortunately, since James was still so young, they decided to keep it simple—a small gathering with only close family members.James might not remember much of his first birthday, but his parents and staff decorated the house with large balloons and even gave him a roll of streamers to play with, which he loved at that age.What Deborah would remember vividly, though, was the déjà vu she experienced when the gift competition began again, just as she had imagined.The competition was fierce, with James reacting positively to all the presents,
The gynecologist delivered the best news ever—Deborah was expecting a beautiful little girl.This was a huge delight for the whole family. Samantha and Eric had longed for a lovely daughter, and now life was blessing them with a beautiful granddaughter to spoil and care for.With the news of the new princess in the family, George grew a bit concerned about James. Strictly speaking, this little girl would be Jayden’s biological child, and George worried that James might be sidelined because of his new sister.“What’s on your mind, Dad?” Elliot asked, noticing his father’s distracted look.“Oh, hehe, sorry, I was lost in thought,” George said, glancing at the clutter on his desk.“Don’t worry. If you’re tired, you can rest on the sofa.”“It’s not that, son. Let’s just say I’m worried.”“Worried about what? Did something happen?” Elliot asked, approaching to look at the papers in his father’s hands.“Don’t worry, it’s not about the company.”“Then what is it?”“It’s about James.
With those worries behind them, the months went by, and Caroline and Christian soon welcomed a little dark-haired boy into the world, who quickly became the joy of his parents.Little Edward was born in the middle of the night, giving his parents quite a scare when Caroline’s water broke in bed, waking them abruptly.“Little troublemaker, you should be more considerate of your father… can’t you see the dark circles around my eyes?” Christian complained, watching their baby feed from Caroline.“Hehe, to me, you’re a sexy raccoon,” Caroline said, leaning in to give him a kiss. “The important thing is that our little boy is finally here.”“Hehe… true, but seriously, why at night?”“Come on, Christian.”“Alright, alright, I won’t say anything.”“If you want, you can go lie down for a while.”“Don’t worry, I want to be with you right now. It’s not like I’m a bad husband.”“But I know you’re a hardworking husband, so no one will judge you if you fall asleep for a bit,” Caroline assu
