Chapter 216 Although Brightâs mom made it clear that I wasnât welcome in her home, we were happy to get her approval. Soon, we selected a date for our engagement, and started preparations. The news of our official relationship ran a jolt of happiness in our family.
Jane and Zoe were on cloud nine, painting the town red in glee. They shared his news in their class.
âOur mommy is marrying our daddy.â
Everyone was happy for us, congratulating us for our big day. Brightâs phone was also swarmed with calls and messages. He made a post on social media about his breakup with Sienna, then our engagement news garnered netizens attention.
They made wild guesses about our relationship, amusing us. Bright came to my villa for venue selection, and we read all the comments together.
âBright and Laura were dating for months.â
âMr. Bright was waiting for the end of ice hockey season to make his relationship public.â
âMiss. Lauraâs kids call him daddy. They are already a family.â
âSee, our couple is trending on the news.â Bright squeezed me into a hug and chuckled. âI waited for this moment for ages, Laura. Finally, your name is attached to mine.â
His unadulterated joy fluttered my heart, I was about to kiss him to express my glee when a stern voice responded to Bright.
âLaura will not change her surname for you!â
We both flinched and saw Henry, acting as a shopping bag hanger of my kids. He was carrying Jane and Zoe along with their stuff. My brother took them shopping, as I was busy dealing with the event planner. He came back grumpy from all the running.
âYou are marrying Laura, but it doesnât mean that you can change her identity. She is Laura Green, my baby sister.â
Henryâs sharp tone brought a smile to my face, I could see that he was exhausted after a shopping spree. So, I offered him a drink as Bright joked, âLaura, I didnât know that your brother is also included in your dowry. I only signed up for our little angels.â
Henry scowled at Bright as we both laughed, and teased him, âBrother, you should marry now. I am eager to be an aunt.ââ
âI will!â Henry said, glaring at Bright. âFirstly, I need to confirm whether he will take good care of you or not.â
â
âThen it wonât happen in this decade!â Bright flashed a toothy smile, âYou will nag around, poking nose in our life on a daily basis.
Alas! We wonât get privacy as a newly married couple.â
Just like that, my house was full of laughter and happiness after the dark era of countless hardships. Love had brightened our lives with its unique light. Although I required months to plan a perfect engagement ceremony, Bright gave me oneâweek notice, as if he were scared to lose me.
âLaura, we must tie the knot soon. I canât be at peace until seeing you in a wedding gown.â
He took off from work and took part in the preparations, our entire days were spent in malls and offices to manage everything.
The decorations, ring selections, and outfits, they were long yet tiring tasks, but it was all worth it in the end. Our lastâminute ceremony turned out to be an outstanding event.
We invited our families and close friendsâ circle, leaving the grand function for the wedding after one month. The stunning stage decor, elegant flower arrangements, and magnificent hall booked for distinguished guests was a testament of magical bonds between our hearts. The ceremonyâs lavish ambiance left everyone in awe as Sienna praised, âOnly you can pull up something so remarkable on such a short notice, Laura. Now I can see why Bright is smitten by you. You are one of a kind.â Her brother, Aaron, also wished us the best, âI thought that you will invite us to your wedding ceremony. This engagement was uncalledâfor.â Dressed in a luxury black suit, my dashing fiancé wrapped his arm around my waist and spoke softly, âYou are right, Aaron. If I hadnât promised Laura a preâwedding bash, then we would have gotten married directly. I just canât wait to see her as Mrs. Bright Wilson.â
