Stan chuckled. "When did you become so generous? That's not like you."

Zachary filled his glass to the brim and asked, "And how was I before?"

Stan made a face as he thought. "Can't quite remember, but nothing good."

"Quit slandering me." Zachary snorted. "My bride is here too, and if she dumps me because of your slander, you'll have to compensate me with another bride."

Stan sighed. "How? When I don't have one myself? But you can have me if you want."

"No. Stay away." Zachary refused to play along.

Either way, it was a calm dinner and everyone was happy for Zachary and Lulu.

It was not easy for them to find each other again and happiness.

"Here. An early toast to your happiness." Stan raised his glass, and Zachary clinked glasses with him.

"Hope your dreams come true." James raised his glass as well, and Zachary refilled his own before accepting James' toast.

And when that was done, Irene raised her glass of fruit juice as well. "Congratulations for finally getting together.

    As Baby started running toward the pinwheel vendor, Lulu had to chase after him. "Slow down, or you'd fall."Nonetheless, Baby took one of the pinwheels as soon as he reached it, and the vendor did not seem to mind. The child was adorable, and he liked children taking his pinwheels since the adult would definitely pay for it anyway.To no surprise, Lulu patted Baby's head while asking the vendor, "How much?""Fifteen," the vendor replied, even flashing his payment QR code.Lulu paid up and turned to find Baby smiling happily as he held the pinwheel, which was whirling against the breeze in the air.That was children for you—a mere trinket could keep them happy for a while.Childhood was indeed perhaps the happiest time in a person's life, as they could play without worrying about a thing.-After they returned from the lake, Irene brought Lulu her gift.Weighting it in her hands, Lulu asked, "Money?""That's for your wedding." Irene rolled her eyes."Alright, then I'll keep

    Zachary stood still, leaning against the doorway with his hands in his pockets. He watched as sunlight spilled in, shrouding Lulu and Star in a golden glow that almost seemed unreal.He walked over to hug Lulu, fearful that it was a dream he would wake up from.Lulu stiffened but did her best to fight her fears and smile at him. "What is it? I'm changing Star's diaper—can't do it if you're clinging to me like this. Let me go…""Don't. Just let me have a couple more moments." Zachary was clearly reluctant, even tightening his arms around her.Eventually, he murmured, "Lulu."Lulu looked up. "Yeah?"Zachary smiled. "I don't know if I'm dreaming, even though I'm hearing your voice and breath.""Are you still drunk?"Zachary rested his chin playfully on her shoulder. "Nope, been sober for a while. I just suddenly feel so happy seeing you with Star… everything I went through is insignificant compared to what I have now."Lulu lowered her gaze as the past played out in her mind.It

    Irene was keeping Lulu company in the dressing room, with a professional makeup artist doing her work as Lulu was supposed to be the most beautiful woman today.Tommy blinked his round dark eyes. "You look so beautiful today, Mrs. Slate."Lulu smiled at him from the mirror. "You're so sweet, Tommy.""I'm serious," Tommy said.Lulu laughed and turned to Irene, "Where's Baby?""He's with Isaac," Irene replied. "He likes running everywhere, as expected of toddlers."On the other hand, she could stay here peacefully with Tommy, since Tommy knew how to stay put, while she would be gone already if she brought Baby.Children are less difficult when they are older, after all.Lulu grinned at Tommy in turn. "You're a big boy now."Tommy puffed his chest proudly. "Of course. Mommy said I'm the little boss in our circle.""Our circle?" Lulu raised a brow.Tommy explained. "Mommy said that I'm Baby's brother and also brother to Aunt Erin's baby and Star. That makes me the boss."Lulu r

    Erin pulled Tommy firmly into her arms, "I'm fine, Irene. Tommy loves me—that's why he loves my hugs. How can I refuse him?""Well, you still shouldn't tolerate him too much or you'd spoil him," Irene pointed out."But you only have two children. What's wrong with spoiling them a little?" Erin smiled and tickled Tommy's chin. "Right, Tommy?"Tommy blinked. He soon got the idea and nodded repeatedly. "Yes!"While Irene gave him a spank on the rear, Lulu chimed in as well. "Tommy is the eldest, but he's still just a kid. He should be loved.""You hear that, Mommy?" Tommy grinned. "Aunt Erin and Aunt Lulu are telling you to love me more.""You brat." Irene sighed, shaking her head. "Don't I love you enough?"Tommy leaned into Erin's arms. "Not as much as Aunt Erin does."Irene laughed despite herself. "Alright, then you can stay with her—don't come home. Baby is my only son now."Tommy promptly caved, leaping at Irene, hugging her and kissing her. "Mommy! I love you the most. You

    If anything, Zachary was fine with this.He strode toward the dressing room when Ken Dawson suddenly came up to him. "What's with your table arrangement?""What? What's wrong?" Zachary asked."The seating for a few guests is inappropriate." Ken shrugged.Zachary nodded. "Let's take a look."Ken showed him the list. "I think these guests should be seated nearer to the main table."Zachary nodded and looked up at Ken. "You stay with the people from work, or they might cause trouble.""I know. Don't worry," Ken assured him.With the seating rearranged, it was soon time.With everything prepared, Zachary headed to the wedding hall, where he would wait until the appointed hour.-At Isaac's table, Tommy was staring at Irene. "Mommy, when is Aunt Lulu coming? I can't wait.""Why can't you wait?" Stan asked. "It's not your wedding. Your Uncle Zachary is the one who can't wait here."Tommy did not get his hint and instead replied seriously, "But Aunt Lulu is so beautiful. I'd like

    Irene caught his hand and lowered it. "Shush.""I shouldn't talk?" Tommy asked softly.Irene nodded, whispering into his ear, "Let's just watch closely without making noise."Tommy nodded tamely. "Aunt Lulu looks so beautiful."Irene glanced at Lulu and smiled too—she was the most beautiful woman today, especially under the spotlight.-The decoration of the wedding hall was exquisite and dreamlike, creating a romantic atmosphere.Blossoming flowers lined the reception areas, bringing color and life to the scene.As Lulu slowly walked toward Zachary along the carpet covered in flower petals, Zachary seemed to only see and hear her.He held out his hand to her, and she slowly placed her palm on his.The hall erupted in thunderous cheers and applause, with Tommy clapping the hardest, followed by Stan, until Erin leaned in to ask him, "Hey, why are you so excited? It's not you who's getting married."Stan was speechless.Wheeling on James, he snapped, "Mind your wife."James

    Zachary and Lulu had to weather many storms for their love, but fortunately, it was over, and the rainbow was now up.Irene smiled, earnestly hoping the best for them.On stage, Lulu was rasping through tears, "Marrying you is the best choice I've made in my life. I wouldn't have waited if I could do it again… even now, this feels like a dream."Zachary lifted her hand to touch his cheek. "Let's forget the past and focus only on the future."Lulu nodded. "Yes.""This is so beautiful!"The emcee started applauding. "You may kiss your beautiful bride."The applause was thunderous as Zachary leaned in to kiss Lulu's lips.Tommy promptly covered his eyes. "Shame! Shame!"Irene smiled and covered his eyes too, and she was left speechless as Isaac passed him a tissue.Erin was emotional too, remembering that she and James were together because he was there to take care of her, and he was open-minded.She leaned against his shoulder while he put an arm around her, thinking how wond

    Naturally, there was an order to toasting guests too—they started from the main table where Zachary's immediate family was seated before continuing to other guests.Zachary had therefore deliberately arranged for Isaac's table at the very end, so they could sit down together with them and eat.Naturally, Isaac, James, and Stan had no reason to excuse themselves from the wedding ceremony."You two must be hungry," Irene said when Lulu and Zachary arrived at their table. "Come sit and eat."Zachary brought a chair for Lulu while he sat beside her.Stan, who was staring at Zachary for a while, asked, "Aren't you full already?"Zachary frowned just as he was about to eat a piece of lobster. "Why not? It's my wedding, I should be eating my share if not more. You're being weird.""More like your happiness should already leave you stuffed." Stan chuckled."You can test that theory yourself.""I have no happiness, so I can't. But you do."Zachary ignored him, eating the lobster and t

    Soon after the wedding, Mr. Fowler proposed for Stan to work at his company to get used to the work over there.He was worried as he did not have much time left, and it would not do if he was gone before the proper arrangements were made.Still, Stan returned to Franconia with Isaac and his family, sorting out things at work and finishing every task he had on hand.While Isaac used to have a lot of free time with Stan around, he was just slightly busier after Stan left. After all, no company should operate in a way that losing a single person would stall all their operations.And after a week, Stan sorted out all the remaining tasks he had in Franconia and returned to Zidonia to start work at the Fowlers' family business.While Stan had property in Zidonia too, he moved into the Fowlers' mansion, but not as a live-in son-in-law. He was simply aware of Mr. Fowler's illness, and Rea wanted to spend more time with her parents.And as the son-in-law, he was obliged to do that much.

    Despite feeling wistful, Mr. Fowler eventually passed Rea's hand to Stan. "I hope you will both cherish each other from now on."Rea told him, "We will."Thereafter, it was the usual proceedings of a wedding, with exchange of rings and vows, the wedding speech, and the luncheon!Though everything went smoothly, Mrs. Fowler could not help shedding tears.She was pleased that her daughter was finally getting married, especially since she was looking forward to this.But now that Rea really did marry, she was worried that her life might get difficult and unhappy.Such was the worrisome nature of mothers.-Later, Stan led Rea to Isaac's table.They were all acquainted, but Stan introduced everyone once again to reacquaint them with Rea.After all, she was no longer Zachary's friend's cousin now, but Stan's wife.Erin was grinning from ear to ear. "Congratulations.""Thank you." Rea smiled in return."Congrats," Baby said, imitating the adults.Rea reached out to stroke his c

    Zachary said, "I heard you sealed the deal with Rea Fowler, and her family is preparing for your wedding."Stan smiled. "I'm the look of success—getting a girl couldn't be simpler. See? I'm getting married already.""Well, I guess we're all taken now," Erin said.Tommy poked his head up just then. "Congratulations, Uncle Stan.""Thank you." Stan chuckled, patting his head."Also, I heard that you're marrying into the Fowler family?" Zachary asked.Everyone turned to stare at Stan in shock, but it was understandable.Stan was not that modest that he would have to go that far—he had money and was successful enough to afford a wife.Still, Zachary—who knew the Fowlers—suggested, "To be fair, they do need someone to take care of the family business…"-Either way, it meant that Irene's family would be delaying their return trip to Franconia.After all, none of them had expected to attend Stan's wedding so soon after Zachary's.Stan himself did not expect that either, as he had

    "What's the problem? We've already slept together," Rea said as she put her clothes on.She frowned as Stan was still on the bed and not moving. "What, are you going to stay in my bed forever?""What am I supposed to wear?" Stan shrugged. "You haven't brought my clothes here.""I'll get it for you."Rea remembered his suitcase then and hurried downstairs to bring it up."Wear whatever you like. I'll be waiting downstairs," she said and hurried away.Stan got out of bed and put on a suit—it was only right to dress formally when it came to discussing marriage.After cleaning up and heading downstairs, he found Rea sandwiched by her parents.Stan had no idea if she had already mentioned it, but both Mr. and Mrs. Fowler were both staring at him, leaving him further tense.Clearing his throat, Stan began, "Excuse me, but—""Yes, we agree to you marrying our daughter.""You mean marrying into our family," Rea corrected them.Everyone else was staring at her before asking all at o

    If Rea asked her parents now, they would only get sad, and life would become difficult for everyoneWhat should she do to make them happy?Right, she could get married! Her parents would definitely be pleased. As for the choice of bridegroom, did she not have one readily available here?If Stan could pretend to be her boyfriend, he could definitely be her husband too.They could fake their marriage if they had to!Putting the medical file back where she found it, she wobbled up to her feet and left the room.Stan had yet to step out of the bathroom when she returned, so she sat on the bed and waited.After a while, Stan stepped out with a towel around his waist and paused when he saw Rea sitting there. "Where are my clothes?" He asked, presuming that Rea had forgotten since there was nothing on the bed or the table. "My suitcase is still in your car trunk."Rea turned toward him. "Let's get married."Stan was left speechless for a moment and soon chuckled, "Did you forge

    Mrs. Fowler smacked her daughter, but while Rea thought she was angry, she said instead, "Just do your best."Rea's mind was blown—were her parents bewitched? They were completely different from before! A long time ago, her parents had used to tell her that she did not have to marry as long as she was happy.But later on, they had persistently sent her on blind dates… and now, they were telling her to seduce a man?Touching her mother's forehead, Rea asked, "Are you sick?"Mrs. Fowler slapped her hand off. "Your dad and I are leaving now.""Yeah." Mr. Fowler nodded. "The chauffeur is waiting."Rea walked them to the door and watched as their car left before returning inside.She did not go upstairs since Stan was asleep, and she would be bored—she was the type who just could not sit still.However, it was inappropriate if she left since that would leave nobody home.In her boredom, she thought of pranking Stan. She headed upstairs to find him asleep, and soundly at that.Ca

    Unable to argue against her parents, Rea said, "Fine, fine. Whatever you say."Mrs. Fowler smiled. "Then help Stan upstairs to get some rest.""Which room?" Rea asked.Mrs. Fowler realized with a start and quickly said, "Oh, there's no bedding in the guest room… So let him stay in your room."Rea was left staring at her in shock. "When did you get so open-minded? Letting a man stay in your daughter's room?"Mrs. Fowler shrugged. "What can he do when he's drunk?""Haven't you heard of drunken fumbles?" Rea asked.Both Mr. and Mrs. Fowler shook their heads at the same time. "Nope."Rea was left totally speechless—this was just outrageous!She would think that Stan was actually their son, if it was not for the fact that they were not acquainted before.They were not like this before either—even if they were urging her to get married, they were not throwing her at a man like this!Mr. Fowler then said, "If anything happens, we'll demand that he takes responsibility and marries y

    "I get it," Stan replied quietly. "I wouldn't have been upset even if you didn't explain yourself. But since you did, I forgive you."Rea's brow creased as she pursed her lips. "See? I knew it. We really shouldn't be too nice to you."While Stan was speechless, Mrs. Fowler was enthusiastically putting food on Stan's plate. "This is our family's favorite dish. Try it."Stan nodded after a bite. "It's good."Mrs. Fowler smiled, while Mr. Fowler poured him a glass of wine. "Can you hold your liquor?"Stan smiled. "More or less.""You're being humble now." Mr. Fowler smiled at him. "You're definitely a good drinker.""A little."Rea had enough right then. "Dad, Stan has work to do, and he has to return to Franconia tomorrow. You're going to make things difficult for him."Mr. Fowler smiled awkwardly. "Right…" "You think?" Rea huffed, snatching his wine away. "Everyone only gets to have one glass."Mr. Fowler glared at Rea. "Party pooper."Rea shrugged. "I'm doing this for your

    Rea turned her head aside. "Then what's your hobby?"Stan did a double take and remembered his life… which was work and more work.It had been years since he took leave, and he would not get to goof off the last few days if it had not been for Zachary's wedding.Hobby? He certainly did not have anything like that.Now that he thought about it, his life was boring and monotonous, and he did not have anyone very close.That was why he wanted a kind, understanding wife to care and offer him company while he took care of her needs.When he looked up at Rea, he clearly felt that she was not for him—he needed someone to take care of him, but with her, he would be busy taking care of her instead."You're looking at me weirdly," Rea suddenly said."How so?" Stan asked.Rea moved closer, looking him in the eyes and asking solemnly, "Don't tell me—you've fallen for me?""You don't just suffer from a flawed personality—you're narcissistic too."Stan pursed his lips and checked the tim
