Chapter 474 My Wish Came True
After the wedding ceremony, Courtney went to the dressing room to change out of her wedding gown.
Cameron happily followed behind her, her hands full of red packets. While walking, she nagged about the bridal procession. “We should have stopped them longer! I thought your Aunt Alicia would make it fun, but who knew she couldn’t even stand what we were doing and asked us to play moderately. It seems like she had been wanting to marry you off even though she didn’t say it!”
“If you haven’t had enough fun, I don’t mind fulfilling your wish when you remarry.”
“Good. I have always wanted to have a new husband! It’s annoying to see Gale every day.”
Hearing that, Courtney immediately looked behind Cameron and said, “Oh Gale, how come you’re here?”
Cameron’s grip on Courtney’s elbows tightened at that moment, and she immediately changed her demeanor. “I was joking earlier, Gale. This is simply a new way for us to show our affection in public. I wanted to express how loving we are…”
Before she could even finish her words, Courtney burst into laughter.
Turning around, Cameron did not see Gale at all. The entire hallway was empty.
Courtney imitated her tone and said, “Loving…”
“How dare you trick me!”
Cameron was irritated and wanted to smack her. While chasing and playing with each other, they both entered the dressing room.
“That’s enough. Stop fooling around. Don’t hold up my honeymoon.”
Honeymoon, you say? You’re not going anywhere today unless you bring me along!”
“Fine. I’ll bring you along.”
Courtney thought that Cameron was just kidding. However, in the lobby of Melrose International Airport, Cameron arrived with a group two hours later, including her children, as well as Hannah, Angie, Jordan, Tina and Josephine. They were all lining up with their own luggage with shade hats which obviously were for vacation use. The entire group looked like they were about to cause a commotion in the airport.
“Hey Courtney, how can you go on a holiday by yourself and leave the children at home?” Cameron said with a teasing tone. “So, I brought all of them here for you.”
When Courtney saw this, she couldn’t help but grip Alexander’s elbow tightly and sulkily ask, “Hubby, is this still our honeymoon?”
He responded with a smile and a deep voice sounded beside her ears, “Don’t worry.”
Fifteen hours later, both of them got off the plane and were enjoying the Mauritius breeze. Then, her phone started to ring non-stop.
“Courtney, where are you? We have arrived, and we are all in the hotel now.”
Cameron’s voice sounded agitated, and the background noises suggested that all of the children were playing around in a mess.
“We’ve just got off the plane,” Courtney replied ignorantly.
“How could that be? Melrose to Seiban Island is only about four hours away. Our flight had already arrived last night. Yours is merely half an hour later than ours; how is it possible that you’ve just arrived?”
“Seiban Island?” Courtney exchanged glances with Alexander and continued, “We didn’t say we’re going to Seiban Island.”
“What?”
“We’re now in Mauritius. Did you buy the wrong flight tickets?”
Knowing that, Cameron almost fainted over the phone. “Don’t frighten me, Courtney. I’ve two kids of my own and four of yours here. How are we going to handle them?”
“Hello? The signal is not very strong here.” Courtney raised her phone over her head and yelled. “I’ll talk to you next time!”
The call ended immediately. She then turned around and looked at Alexander. “Hubby, how did you come up with that?”
‘The night before the wedding, Gale got himself drunk and blurted out that Cameron wanted to join us for our honeymoon. With that, I decided to change our flight tickets and destination. Looks like it was a good move.”
“It’s absolutely brilliant!”
How could she allow her friends and children to join her once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon?
The moon was hanging along the coastline. In front of their hotel suite, Alexander was standing at the beach, admiring the moonlight from a distance.
Behind him was a swimming pool, which Courtney was swimming in. The splashing of water subsided and she, dressed in a hot red bikini, walked up from it. While wiping her hair, she saw a group of beauties on the beach whistling at him.
But he was completely unmoved.
Suddenly, a bright whistle sound resonated behind him. “Handsome guy, are you waiting for someone?”
Hearing this familiar voice, he smiled and turned around intending to tease her. However, he was stunned the moment she entered his sight.
Courtney was a little helpless seeing his burning gaze. “Why? Is there anything on my face?”
“No.” He shook his head and continued staring firmly at her. With a hoarse voice with a sense of eroticism, he continued, “You’re stunning today.”
Her face was flushed with redness when she heard that, but she stubbornly replied, “Am I? I’m already the mother to three children who can’t be compared with the beauties who whistled to you earlier.”
Alexander smiled dotingly. “Are you jealous?”
“Jealous? Of course not!”
She was so shy by his stare that even her ears turned red. Suddenly, she was carried into his arms and she reflexively wrapped her arms around his neck and exclaimed, “What are you doing? Put me down!”
He did not do so. Instead, he carried her all the way to their room, passing by the courtyard, and placed her on the bed. While kissing her arms, he replied hoarsely, “Sure. I’ll put you down now.”
She was rendered powerless by his kisses, and with great difficulty, she mumbled, “Aren’t we going to the bonfire party?”
“We’ll go there tomorrow. Now, we have more important things to do.”
“Wait, hubby.” She struggled with whatever rationality she had left. “The curtains. They’re not closed.”
“There’s no need for that. Let them know that my wife is prettier than any of them.”
All his romantic words made her head spin, but she remained conscious enough to pull the curtains, which she only barely closed after a while.
The moonlight shone on the wall through the gaps in the curtains, and the shadows revealed the couple intertwined. Their intense breathing sound filled the entire room, with the water bed they were laying on shaking vigorously.
They had no idea how much time had passed before he lay on the side of the bed, satisfied.
After their excitement was over, she cuddled in his embrace while both of them gazed out the window at the sea.
“What’s your biggest wish, hubby?”
Alexander took a brief pause and answered, “My wish had been fulfilled just now.”
Courtney blushed when she heard that. Giving him a pinch, she said, “Can you answer in a more decent way?”
To that, he laughed without saying anything.
She then continued gently, “I wish that the children can live their lives happily. Go through everything, such as dating, getting married and giving birth, just like everyone else.”
“They will,” he patronized her. Obviously, he did not want to discuss the children.
But she did not realize that and insisted on going on. “I heard that Elijah and Lilian are divorced. He told me that he intends to bring Angie back to Milley.”
“Let him do that then.”
“But Angie seems to be unwilling now.”
“Let her stay then.”
“But…”
“Stop it.” He suddenly flipped onto her. “Wifey, we’re on our honeymoon now,” he said, his face stern but filled with jealousy.
That stunned her for a moment before sweetness gradually filled her eyes.
