Chapter 83 - Meeting Her (Four)
"You are the best brother I could ask for. Thank you!" Sheena threw her arms around Vincent for another hug.
"Enough with all these, thank you, okay? I\'ll often be visiting, so I expect my full meal three times a day during my stay."
Sheena laughs. But then, tears flood her eyes once again, and it is the moment Stephen comes out from the door carrying a tray in his hands with three mugs of coffee on it.
"Oh. It looks like I came in at the wrong timing," Stephen uttered. It didn\'t hide to him how Sheena\'s family is against him because he is only a peasant compared to her, a princess to someone\'s kingdom.
Sheena parted from Vincent. She turned around and walked toward her soon-to-be-husband. "No! You just came in at the perfect time!" Sheena showed Vincent\'s gift. "Look at what brother\'s wedding gift to us!"
"Oh…" Stephen widened his eyes to read the numbers in the check. It seems like he is dreaming in the middle of the night. "Is this real?"
"It is! I told you he is the best brother in the world!" Sheena would never tire of shouting out to every person in this world how proud she is to have a brother like Vincent.
"I… I don\'t know what to say. I… I felt like thank you is not enough to show my gratitude." Stephen stammers his words because of his excitement. The amount written in the check is more than enough to start the restaurant he dreams of having.
Vince nodded and said to Stephen, "No need to thank me. What I expect from you is to love my sister and her daughter unconditionally. Promise me to take care of them like a real man."
"I promised!" said Stephen, but then he corrected it. "No. I offer my heart and soul to this beautiful woman. Through good times and bad times, I am the first man to be there on her side."
After quoting his sweet promises, Stephen leans over and kisses Sheena in front of Vincent.
The guy rolled his eyes and mumbled. "Show off…"
Later, the couple laughs out loud and could not help teasing him to hook up with someone soon and then marry her if she is the one.
"The one, huh?" Stephen looked at Sheena with a questioning stare. Sheena then excitedly shared about the girl selling lemonade. "Brother-in-law, you should ask this girl on a date. When I first laid my eyes on your sister, my heart told me she is the one. And I will say this... I am fortunate that Lena\'s father ran away because now I have a chance to marry a wonderful woman that the guy failed to see how beautiful and amazing she is. Moreover, I am honored to be Lena\'s new father."
Sheena chokes from the sweet words; Stephen confesses in front of her brother and to her as well. "Thank you, baby."
Stephen and Sheena hold hands and once again kissed in front of Vincent, who he again rolled his eyes. "Please, spare the single people out here."
"That\'s why you should ask her out and invited her as your date to tomorrow\'s wedding of ours," Sheena mouthed.
"Have you forgotten that she just pours a lemonade to whoever asks her out?" Vincent\'s cowardly excuse.
"That\'s the point, brother! A man who wore Armani suits and drove a sports car doesn\'t impress her." Sheena pointed it out. Actually, she is giving her brother some advice.
"I agreed with my wife, brother-in-law. How if you drive my old Chevy?" Stephen suggested.
Sheena added, "And wear not classy clothes. Look at your expensive jeans and silk long sleeves."
"And that leather shoes!" Stephen echoed.
Vincent shifted his gaze between Sheena and Stephen. Now he could see the incredible bond and team they are building. Both had the same ideas and agreed with the same things. Now he understood how her sister fell in love with Stephen.
"So, I should show up as a beggar for her not to splash me a lemonade?"
Sheena and Stephen shared a glance. They nodded in agreement. "Yeah."
"That\'s made two of you who\'s making fun of me now. My sister found her partner, huh?"
"I guess that\'s a compliment coming from my brother-in-law." Stephen was delighted.
Then the porch filled with laughter. Stephen\'s parents join them later after they send Lena to bed. The older couple was very fond of the young girl. And Stephen shared the good news with his parents.
Vincent enjoyed his stay with the Keller family, and he could see how they love his sister. Now he will be at peace once he goes back to P Country.
And that night, Vincent gave thought to what they\'d discussed what kind of impression he should have in front of Hailey. However, all he has in his suitcase are brand-name clothes.
"Well, that\'s why the word shopping was come up with," He mumbled to himself. Anyway, he could buy a plain white T-shirt and cheaper jeans on his way back to the city tomorrow. Now that\'s a plan of his.
The following day, the wedding was beautiful. There are only a few guests attending, but most of Stephen\'s relatives and closest friends.
Sheena still wishes for her parents\' attendance, but it was better they weren\'t here when her mom only opposed her marriage with the man she truly loves.
Besides, Vincent was there to escort her walking in the aisle.
The wedding was held in the garden of Keller\'s house and the reception.
At the moment, Vincent is dancing Sheena.
"Congratulations, Sheena."
"Thank you, brother. I\'m going to miss you." Sheena rested her head on Vincent\'s shoulder, blinking her eyes to push back the tears that started forming in her eyes once again. She already cried during the wedding ceremony as her husband cried upon saying their vows.
"I\'m still here. I\'m not hurrying to leave. Or are you actually giving me a hint that you are getting rid of me now?"
"Silly!" She and Vincent both laugh. Sheena parted slightly from her brother and looked straight at his eyes. "I\'m serious, Romeo. Go, get your Juliet."
Vincent thinks his sister is the only joking. But seeing how earnestly she was staring at him, he could not argue with her.
"But it\'s still your wedding."
"You can visit us during Christmas?"
Vincent contemplates for a moment. And then, he decided...
