Sometimes you fall in love with the most unexpected person at the most unexpected time. ---- Anonymous


    They are talking to each other and didn''t notice that Prince Stephen with the Elder Cheung''s has finally at the entrance of the dining room when the three pairs heard Duke Rainer''s question.??


    Duke Rainer: "So when will you two get married?"


    Elder Lucas Cheung: "Who''s getting married?"


    ---- DEAD SILENCE ----


    "Who''s getting married?" Lucas Cheung asks them once again.


    "Don''t scare them Lucas especially your future son in law" Eva Cheung answered him as they already both saw the love bites at Lily''s neck


    When they didn''t respond, Lucas opened his mouth but Eva Cheung cuts him, "If Lily will get married then it is okay as long as the young ones will produce a twin of a triplet and you Lucas Cheung will not utter any word about this; your daughter is old enough to manage her heart" Eve Cheung declared.


    Viscount Christian: "So it is official then, Duke Lawrence and Lady Lily are now a couple."


    All of them look at the Cheung Elders as they wait for their blessings, Lily bowed to look at her parents as she awaits for their wrath to her. "Yes, I gave my blessing to them" Lucas Cheung informed them.


    Lily: "Just like that Dad! You didn''t even argue nor asks questions to Lawrence?"


    Lucas Cheung: "How will I ask questions, complain nor argue with him Lily, he already marks you. You already have his mark and yet you still don''t like to get married to him? I''m old and your mother also, its time for you to have someone to look after you. You may not bear him with an heir but still, he loves you and I can see that through his eyes."


    Lily wants to dig a hole as she knew that her face turns to crimson red, "Is it visible?" she looks at the other people that surround them. The gentlemen nod their heads and the ladies of the court said in unison "Very visible."


    ???I ask for forgiveness to you a while ago My Lily, when we are taking a bath and you said its okay" Duke Lawrence told her teasingly. "See, then you are asking why I didn''t complain. Lily, he loves you, you must take the risk and maybe this time it will be sweeter than before" Lucas Cheung told his daughter.


    Eva Cheung: "Just promise us Lawrence that you will not hurt our daughter just what James did to her. And you will inform our moon regarding this matter."


    Duke Lawrence: "Yes Ma''am."


    Eva Cheung: "Call me mom and that old man-call him father."


    Duke Lawrence nods his head, "See Lawrence, you will not be lonely anymore during our New Year''s Day celebration. And I am inviting the Cheung Elders at City of Wise for our family affair. We don''t take NO for an answer" Countess Grace informed everyone.


    Eva Cheung: "Sure, then the wedding will be happening on that day."


    Lily: "Mom!"


    Duke Lawrence: "Sure"


    Prince Stephen: "We will plan for it"


    Countess Helen Rose: "I''ll take care of the gown and suits."


    Duke Rainer: "We''ll take care of the food"


    Viscount Christian: "We''ll take care of the venue and flowers"


    Duchess Anastasia: "For the di Luchessi''s they will take care of the security."


    Countess Grace: "The twins'' will take care of the videos and music."


    Lucas Cheung: "What about us?"


    Duke Lawrence: "You will attend the ceremony Father, and the HADES people will take care of you."


    Duchess Anastasia: "Hhmm, I know the song for the two of you on that day."


    Duke Lawrence: "What is it"


    Duchess Anastasia looks at her husband Viscount Christian, "When I wake up in the morning, love. And the sunlight hurts my eyes, And something without, warning, love, Bears heavy on my mind.


    Viscount Christian got the rhythm of the song his wife is singing, then he answered by "Then I look at you, And the world''s alright with me. Just one look at you And I know it''s gonna be, A lovely day. (youtube.com/watch?v=bEeaS6fuUoA)


    Lily didn''t know the song but when Duke Rainer clicks it on his phone and made them listen to the music, Lily blushed and bowed her head. "Don''t tease my future wife" Duke Lawrence scolded them but he was smiling. Then everyone laughs for the way they are acting, they are just like a teenage lovey-dovey couple that got permission from their parents to be an official couple.


    Duke Lawrence cupped Lily''s face as he lifts her head to see her eyes. He stared at Lily and "I will be responsible for you….for what happened to us. If Luna will not accept me to be your husband I''ll prove myself to your daughter. Please don''t doubt my love for you, it''s the only thing I''m sure of again after Jeuel died. It seems that you are my drug and not the mini cakes that the twins gave to us."


    Eva Cheung: "The greatest relationsh.i.p.s are the ones you never expected to be in. The ones that sweep you off your feet and challenge every view you''ve ever had. And what is happening to both of you is exactly like this one.


    Lucas Cheung: "Lily my daughter, maybe it''s not about the length you''ve known a person or someone; maybe it''s about instant recognition on an unconscious level. Our souls know each other. Your soul and Duke Lawrence soul may be known for each other for a long time that''s why the spark that happened between you two is very fast and deep.


    Lily: "Lawrence, (as she holds Lawrence''s hand while it cups her face). I long for a deep soul connection…. A love….someone to love me just as I am… someone to encourage me when I am confused. Arms to comfort me when I am feeling lost and alone….someone to hold my hand and cupped my face as we grow old and into a better version of being a husband and wife. I long for that person special made just for me….my forever companion to be my best friends and my lover and to be my husband."


    Duke Lawrence: "Other than my dead wife, no one makes my heart leap for joy with their presence. Don''t worry My Lily, I will be your Eternity and we will grow old together."


    As the couple confesses their feelings to each other and they didn''t mind if the people around them were already eating dog food because of their sweetness Prince Stephen coughs so loudly to bring them back to reality.


    Prince Stephen: "Can you get a room for your confessions. We know we all have partners here but we can''t just jump to a honeymoon phase. We still have a mission to do for tomorrow."


    Lawrence and Lily chuckled and the Cheung Elders laughs. "Can we eat first, because I am starving and I think I can eat the whole cow" Lily blurted out.


    "Before I forgot, Lawrence makes it sure that you will renovate your room at the palace if Lily will stay with you. Make it soundproof because the twins'' might be scared upon the noises" Duchess Anastasia informed them but her smile was teasing the two of them. The Cheung Elders was confused but it gives a hint on them on what noises the Duchess is telling them.


    Duke Lawrence: "Are we that loud?"


    The royalties nod their heads in unison. "Very loud, even we already played the music we can still hear those noises" Duke Rainer informed them. Lily blushed again but this time she giggled.


    Eva Cheung: "Lily! Lawrence! Behave yourself in front of the twins'' you two will corrupt their innocent minds."


    Then everybody laughs as Eva Cheung reprimand the Duke like an angry hen to her chicks. Lucas Cheung laughs and this is the first time Lily heard her father laugh so carefree and it seems that he accepts Lawrence as his son''s law, not like James. "Maybe James is not for me, I''m just stubborn before to fight for him. But still, I have no regrets for I have a talented and beautiful daughter…Luna."


    "Just make sure that the young grown-ups will make bunnies so that we can play with them since we are their great grandparents. And make it sure they will be staying with us for some time" Lucas Cheung informed them.


    Duke Lawrence: "Father, you and mom will live with us to the palace. The twins'' will not agree with the idea that we will leave you two here. And they don''t take NO for an answer."


    Duchess Anastasia: "Even us, we will not agree and accept that you will be left here in this country."


    Countess Grace: "You are our responsibility and you two are our Elders already."


    Countess Helen Rose: "Luna will not accept the idea of leaving you here."


    Lucas and Eva Cheung was astonished of how they accept them as part of their family. "Luna has found a loving family. They are very accommodating" Eva whispered to her husband and Lucas Cheung smiled as he can see how loving and caring the people around them.
