“Do you have any charming male friends who are around Avril’s age? You should introduce them to her. Maybe that will be enough to shift her focus from me,” suggested Stephen to his daughter, who then nodded and promised, “No problem, Dad. You do care for Avril, don’t you?”
“I want her to get married as soon as possible so that she’ll leave me alone.”
Nicole considered his expression and realized that her father really did not have feelings for Avril. I guess we’ll go with the flow then.
I have to start planning the wedding when I get back.
It was already seven when they reached their homeland.
Sophia, Davin, Sheila, and Avril returned to the Seet residence, while Evan, Nicole, and the children returned to Imperial Garden with Stephen and his aides. John and the Hidden Masters also returned to their respective places.
That was the end of their trip to K Nation.
Stephen looked at Imperial Garden with great satisfaction. He could see how much Evan loved Nicole from the home his son-in-law had prepared for his daughter.
“You should stay with us, Grandpa. Don’t go. Stay with us forever,” pleaded Juan as he held his grandfather’s hand tightly.
Stephen’s mouth curved into a smile. “I’ll be staying with you for a while. At least until I attend your parents’ wedding.”
Big smiles appeared on the children’s faces when they heard of their parent’s plans to host a wedding.
“Mommy, we want to stand beside you and Daddy at the wedding. That way, people will know that you two already have four lovely children and that we’re a happy family.”
Nicole nodded in agreement. “Okay. I’ll make sure all of you look stunning!”
“Mommy, I want to wear the kind of dress that fairies wear, and I also want Nina to give me fairy makeup. I’ll look my best at the wedding!”
Maya’s marble eyes sparkled with anticipation for her parents’ wedding. She imagined that it would be as magical as stepping into a fairy tale.
“Okay, Maya. I promise to arrange that for you.”
After sizing her sister up, Nina came up with a suggestion. “Maya, you should talk to your gourmet specialist, Molly, to have her come up with a diet plan for you before Daddy and Mommy picks a date for the wedding. You might need to shed a few pounds off before then.”
What Nina said made sense to Maya, so the latter decided to give it a try.
“I’ll contact Molly now. You’ll see a slimmer me soon, I promise!”
“You can do it, Maya!”
The girl happily went to get the driver to send her to Molly while her other three siblings returned to their bedrooms.
It had been a long and tiring trip, so Stephen also headed inside his room to rest.
Soon, only Nicole and Evan were left in the room. The two looked at each other and smiled before sitting down to discuss the wedding.
The man listened to Nicole patiently because he wanted to realize as many of her ideas as possible to give her the most romantic wedding.
The woman’s eyes sparkled like the stars when she talked about her dream wedding. She had it all planned out in her head.
She had high expectations for the wedding – so did he.
After talking for a while, Nicole suddenly stated, “I think we shouldn’t invite too many people. I don’t want the media to be present because I wouldn’t know what to do if I slip up.”
Evan curved his lips into a smile as he looked at her worried expression. “Whatever you say.”
That made her nod happily before she asked if he wanted to add anything.
“I’ll talk to my parents at the Seet residence tomorrow. You should discuss things with Stephen too. I want us to have the perfect wedding,” answered Evan after some thought.
Nicole nodded once again. “Got it!”
The next morning, Evan went to the Seet residence before going to work.
Unexpectedly, he found Avril and Davin arguing as soon as he stepped into the house, though he had no idea what the conversation was about.
