Chapter 623: Living Together
Another morning came, but unlike all other mornings, This was the most special one for Kenzie. She stretched her arms and raised her body excitedly to sit on her bed. Then she squealed, covering her face with her palms, recalling what she did last night to Daryl.
She did not know what came into her... But realizing what she did after it happened made her feel so embarrassed.
"Ehhhhh..." she beamed, still with reddening cheeks. She brushed away that thought of feeling ashamed since she knew that she would have to be shameless in front of Mr. Denial King or else their relationship would not bloom at all. Her plan to torture him would not stop at anything.
Cris arrived early too at the mansion to join her for breakfast and lunch. They discussed company matters first, then the church wedding that would start late in the afternoon.
"So you're telling me that my hunch is right. Father prepared everything way before without my knowing?" Kenzie reconfirmed.
Cris chuckled and nodded since Master Jack did not ask her to hide the fact from Kenzie.
"Geez, I'm really grateful since dad had actually helped me in accelerating the process, but this is embarrassing as well. What if Daryl had not agreed?" Kenzie mumbled.
"Hmm, then there would be no wedding. But Master Jack seemed confident when he instructed me to arrange everything. I have also prepared your wedding gown and your father personally selected it for you.
I have already sent the designer's team to Mr. Daryl's apartment now. They brought a variety of groom's suits to choose from and different sizes for his fitting," Cris added, making Kenzie cough and almost choke on the food in her mouth.
"It's like a shotgun wedding, Cris. He might probably rethink things now and wondering if he did the right thing by accepting my father's proposal," Kenzie whispered as she shook her head.
"I heard he volunteered on his own, so don't worry yourself too much. If he doesn't like what he's doing, he could have opted to keep out of it... There's always a way out you see! But he went ahead with the wedding on his own will," Cris said with a teasing grin, making Kenzie reddened.
"Just focus on this day for your father. I will make sure you will be the most beautiful and brightest bride today. Hurry and let's make your future groom drool seeing your beauty..." Cris added with a wink.
Kenzie chuckled, then excitedly nodded.
The wedding dress her father picked for her had a plunging neckline, lace sleeves, and an A-line skirt, adding a pop of excitement to the simple dress and yet exuding her timeless beauty in that elegant gown.
"Master Jack wanted to tease your husband by making you wear that plunging neckline," Cris commented, admiring Kenzie's perfect and voluptuous body showing off her curves voraciously.
"Yeah, I bet he wants Daryl's eyes to pop out looking at my cleavage, no?" Kenzie seconded followed by a giggle.
"Oh, my God! I was thinking if it's just a prank!!!" burst Sarah, who suddenly appeared at Kenzie's door.
"I thought Cris was just joking around, saying to me, and Kyle must witness your wedding today! Are you that envious that you speeded up and even decided to marry in an instant ahead of me?!" Sarah teased, looking surprised and amazed at Kenzie's beauty in her wedding gown.
Kenzie chuckled and said, "I have the best wingman you see, making things easier for me."
Sarah shook her head because Cris already explained to her how things happened fast when Cris called her to invite her and Kyle for the serene wedding.
"Who else is attending? Did Daryl inform his family?" Sarah asked.
"He won't. He's not in a good relationship with them and about his father he is still not sure if it would be good for him to attend as well because of his sickness. He only invited his few trusted friends," Kenzie commented based on what Daryl told her last night in the car when she asked who he would bring today.
"Oh, I guess that's Liam, Jorge, and..." Sarah hesitated.
"His first love Luo," Kenzie finished it for Sarah. She had done enough research on his past, so she knew Daryl's history very well.
"Yeah..." Sarah said with a smile, happy it did not affect Kenzie.
"Though I'm sure he has already moved on, still I intend to kick away anyone who is still occupying his heart, since I plan to take all the space in it for myself," Kenzie deliberated with flaring nostrils.
She was somehow a bit jealous, although she knew Luo was already married and pregnant. She had never had the chance to meet the woman personally, but Sarah said she looked like Lana at first glance. Lana, as she had seen, was indeed a beauty and she must admit that, so Luo was probably the same too.
Kenzie suddenly stared at her make-up artist and instructed, "Make sure my beauty will stand out in the wedding, okay?"
Cris and Sarah exchanged meaningful glances.
Meanwhile, Jorge and Liam, who went directly to Daryl's apartment after lunch, were utterly surprised with Daryl's call last night about his wedding.
"Goodness, you sly wolf!" Jorge burst, looking at Daryl in his white suit.
"I need someone with me in that wedding so Kenzie's father will feel more at ease and secure by having the ceremony. If not, I would have excluded you from the list of my invitees," Daryl chortled because he was sure Jorge would not stop teasing him.
"We came here as early as we could. Our wives will head to the church directly with Luo and Noah. Why did you not bring your father? There's still enough time to pick him up. I'm sure he will be happy if he could be present there..." Liam suggested. Daryl already explained to them why the marriage ceremony was too sudden, so he and Jorge understood the situation.
Knowing Daryl for years, they knew he did it of his own will because Daryl was someone who would not agree on things that he could not take responsibility for. Liam could not hide his teasing grin as he asked, "So Kenzie grabbed your reign, I guess..."
Daryl's face reddened. He was still confused with his feelings, but one thing was certain... He did not want to see any other man besides Kenzie except for himself.
"Hahahahaha!!!" Jorge's laughter roared in all the corners of the living area.
"Liam, he still can't accept that he's already fallen in love with the persistent Kenzie. So will she live with you now? Both of you at Cha mansion since you decided to live with your father, right?"
Daryl's shoulder shrugged. He did not think about it since he was too focused on granting the wishes of Kenzie's father.
'Living together?' he mused, wondering what he would do.
