A Fateful Chance — Chapter 33: LOVESICK GIRLS

"Honey, did you have a great time?" Mr. Swiss asked Deandra as he held her hand. She leaned closer to him as she hugged him sidewards as they sat on the backseat of the car. They are now heading home after almost a day of visiting Kylie. Mr. Swiss talked a lot about business to Kylie's father-in-law.

"Thank you, love. We had a great time with my best friend Kylie."

"She's giving birth any time within this week or the next."

"Yeah, I am updated. Thank you for letting me visit her." She looked up to him as she met his gaze. He flashed a humble smile. Deandra leaned closer to his face and planted a smack on his lips. She could see him blushed all of a sudden as he avoided his gaze.

"You know what? You're cute."

He held my hand and kissed it. "I love you, Deandra Klay. I can't wait to call you Mrs. Deandra Reike."

"I love you too. You know that. I will try my best to love you with all my heart."

"Love can't be forced. It should be felt." I suddenly felt embarrassed of what I said just now. It made me speechless for a moment when he held my hand.

"I am not asking you to love me right away. What I want you to do is to just be right next to me at all times."

"I guess you can't love me at all times. I am not beautiful or sexy. I am not even considering myself desirable."

"If those were the only qualities that I am searching for in a woman, I tell you, I should've had a lot of them having those qualities."

I leaned my head closer to his chest as I touched my tummy. Everything seemed to be very fast but I don't mind at all. He's the one by my side and that's the most important for me this time.

"Let's get married." He said out of the blue. I got up and looked at him all of a sudden, without blinking.

"Love, are you serious?"

"I don't want to take everything for so long. I am sure about you and I want to spend my life with you."

"I don't know what to say. What about your two daughters? They're the same age as mine."

"I don't care. As long as I am happy, they can't interfere with it."

I looked at him straight into his eyes. His facial expression is too tough. I want to melt his gaze. The way he would look at me, it's as if he doesn't want to hear 'no' for an answer.

"I love you so much, without any doubt. Will you accept my proposal?" He added that I never saw it coming. However, I could feel the sincerity from his words.

"Yes, love." I answered with misty eyes. He hugged me as he planted a kiss on my lips. We planned the wedding as soon as possible, together with his two daughters. We arrived at their house and we went to his room right away.

He handed me the two pictures of his daughters.

"I think you never knew anyone of them yet. My eldest is Priya and my youngest is Denysse. They both finished their studies in the U.S.A. I was widowed for more than ten years now. I guess they will be happy for me if they will know that I will get married again."

"Will they accept me, love?" I couldn't help but ask him about this one. It is normal that his daughters will doubt about getting married to their father.

"I'm their father. They have no choice but to accept you for me because I chose you."

I smiled as I accepted the picture frame of their family when I'm stunned for a moment.

"This can't be..." I murmured as I looked at his eldest.

"What's wrong?" He looked at me with a puzzled look. He shifted his gaze on the picture frame and my facial reaction. I shook my head from side to side as I met his gaze.

"Is your eldest a model of some designer clothes?" I tried my best to think of an alibi for him to not ask me further about what I just said.

"Why, yes. She's a popular model and a good friend of Kendall Jenner. She's been a Victoria's secret model since her debut."

"Wow, no wonder she's really beautiful." I said with full amazement. Mr. Swiss held both of my shoulders and rested his head on my right.

"You're also stunning and beautiful, honey. Even without any make up. Your smile alone can complete my day."

"You're so sweet." I turned in front of him as I hugged him. I placed both of my arms on his shoulders. He placed his hands on my waist as he pulled me closer to him. When my baby bump reached his stomach, he chuckled right away.

"I guess this baby is reminding us to slow down because he doesn't want to."

We both laughed and he silenced me with a smack on my lips. I closed my eyes and pulled his head closer to mine as I savored his mouth. We let go and I can see him smiling a lot.

"I love you so much honey. I badly wanted to marry you."

"M-Me too." I said as I looked at his eyes that's full of longing.

Days turned into weeks. After a long time, everyone seemed very excited for the arrival of the two sisters, Priya and Denysse. They plan to come three days before their father's wedding. There has been a lot of preparations going on inside the grand mansion.

A lot of our maids and guards were going to and fro because of the preparations. On the other hand, I am more than nervous rather than excited because Mr. Swiss's eldest daughter is familiar to me. I have met her not only once, twice but many times already that I cannot simply get her out of my memory. She's mostly the reason for my misery.

How can I ever forget her? She's the ex-girlfriend of the father of my child.
