chapter 134

"Mom!" Kathy happily rushed to her mother's side, excitement overflowing her heart.A beautiful lady in her mid-forties warmly smiled at her. "Kathy, my dear," her eyes widened, looking at her daughter rushing in haste. "Slow down kathy. You will trip yourself," she gently chided her.Kathy laughed and hugged her. "Who cares about a little tripping? Once you hear what I got to say, then you would be dancing just like me!"Kate Taylor shook her head. "You are the prestigious heiress of the Taylor family. You are a noble lady, and you cannot act so careless. Remember right how the Willson family is so strict with manners and etiquette? Don't forget that you will be their daughter-in-law one day.""I know Mom and I am always careful! But today was just incredible, and I couldn't wait to share it with you!"Kate Taylor chuckled. "You are in a really good mood. What happened?"Kathy blushed a little as she spoke, "I went to visit Eric at the office today and you wouldn't believe what I heard him say…""What did he say?" Kate got curious."When I stepped in his office, I heard him murmur that he...he wants to have sex with me…"Kate widened her eyes in utter shock. She couldn't find the right words for a long time. "What? Kathy, are you sure you heard it right? We know how Eric is.""Yes, Mom! Even I was just as shocked," her cheeks heated up, "but it's true! He really expressed how he wants to…"Kate beamed. "That is such great news! I always feared that Eric wasn't that interested in this match and only agreed because of his family. But if what you say is true then...oh gosh! I am so happy for you!" She tearfully hugged her.After all, getting approval and love from the Mafia King mattered a lot too.Even if it was his family's decision, there was no point if he, as her future husband, wouldn't love or respect her. For a happy marriage, the husband's acceptance was just as necessary.Kathy hugged her back. "Yes, Mom. I still think it's my dream, but I cannot deny what I heard."Kate nodded."Mom what should I do now? I mean now that I know his intentions, I cannot just…" she bit her lip, feeling shy.Her mother giggled. "Ah look at my daughter getting shy. You are right. We cannot sit still now that Eric had expressed his desire. Until now we only formally announced the news that you two are going to get engaged, but I think this is the right time for moving ahead with the actual ceremony."Kathy brightened. "Really Mom!?""Of course," she coughed. "I understand that you as young people would want to go ahead with *cough* taking things further. I am not against it or being old-fashioned, but we just cannot permit you without proper ceremonies in place. Once you get engaged and officially become his fiance then…"Kathy hugged her even harder. "Ah, Mom! You are the best!"When she thought of her engagement with Eric, the thrill and excitement just doubled in her heart. She was waiting for this for a long time and finally, it would happen soon.Kate smiled. "I will talk to your father about it. Once he discusses this with the Willson family members, we will go ahead with your engagement."---
