"It doesn't matter, you don't need to be perfect in everything," Ca.s.sie replied when Madison praises them and complains how bad she is with it.
Madison smiled, Ca.s.sie truly a wonderful person. She could feel the warmth and tranquility around here. Maybe, this is what they called, a mother's atmosphere.
In the middle of cooking, they have more visitors invading their mansion.
"Levi!" A high voice heard from the living room. "You b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" Cara gives Levi a surprise punch on his stomach.
Levi who did not expect it to happen, Cara got him good. Holding his tummy he grasps the sofa. "Are you out of your mind? Do you want to kill me?"
"That serves you right!" Cara said without feeling regretful.
"Ah, can you stop doing it? We're not teenagers anymore," Levi said that makes Cara dumbfounded.
"Am just turning 20 the next day, I am still a teenager of course! And you are not invited to my birthday!" Cara pointed at him before she crosses her arms but Levi just laughs at it that made Cara glared.
"What happened with the two of you?" Ca.s.sie asked who quickly run to the living room.
"Pretty auntie!"
"Hi, Kendra!" Ca.s.sie opens her arms to welcome the little girl who runs towards her the moment Kendra saw her. They hug each other before she lifts her to carry.
The little girl was shocked seeing the woman standing behind of Ca.s.sie.
"Two pretty aunties! Amazing! Daddy, look!" Kendra exclaimed. Truly unbelievably amazing he felt.
"Kendra, say his sister Madison," Ca.s.sie introduce them to each other.
"h.e.l.lo, pretty sister Madison!"
"Hi, you were so pretty too!" Madison pinch Kendra's cheek. The little girl gesture to be taken by her and so she took her from Ca.s.sie.
"Kendra, Madison is your cousin," Shun explained.
"Really?" The little girl's reaction was priceless, she looks so happy hearing it. "Is this true, pretty sister Madison?" Kendra asked cutely, confirming if it was true.
"Yes," she smiled. So, she has more relatives. Happy to know, she thought.
In the dining table seated by three couples tonight and a little girl; Shun sits in the middle are on his right is Ca.s.sie, Madison, and Levi. On the left side were Derek, Kendra, and Cara.
The night filled with laughter and merry dinner. Sometimes Cara and Levi continue arguing over small things that made Madison a little more jealous of their closeness. She quietly eating but thanks to Ca.s.sie who keep talking to her, she occupied her attention.
Before the night grew old, their visitors bid good night. Madison has morning practices and Cara needs to finish the things for her birthday two days from tonight. Kendra who falls asleep was carried earlier by Derek and settled her on the guest room where they will share.
Ca.s.sie and Madison hug tight before they left. Levi offers to drop Cara on their way but she rejects the offers, she doesn't want to spoil Levi and Madison's alone time together. Then Derek offers to walk her home to make sure of her safety, now everything is settled.
Shun and Ca.s.sie standing on their small balcony waiting for the Eiffel Tower to lights on midnight. Shun's arms tightening around Ca.s.sie's waist then touching her small b.u.mp. Ca.s.sie looks up and their lips meet. While the tower now displaying its beautiful light, they didn't want to part and their lips stayed kissing.
On these past few days, they were strolling Paris were they possible crosses paths countless times. They went and visiting those streets and stores were they b.u.mped into each other. They've decided to make a wedding photo shoot on every place where Ca.s.sie saw him and places where he almost saw her... places where both of them was there together but still, fate keeps separated them. They began imagining of their pose and how the photos to get done. They've decided to make a mini-film after.
Ca.s.sie often saw Shun's back, and Shun often did not saw Ca.s.sie who just behind him many times. They both feel the thrill and excitement. Shun said, Lucas, is the best photographer he knows. He is certain Lucas would have many ideas during their Prenup photos which they also cross paths at Italy, at j.a.pan, at Mainland International Airport, and even outside of this mansion.
"I think it is very interesting how you fall from your bike after hitting the poor fire hydrant." Shun giving her amusing gazes.
Ca.s.sie's mouth dropped from his statement, she gives him tiny pinches that made Shun laughing hard because of her facial expression.
"Why do you have to mention that!"
Ca.s.sie keeps pinching him until Shun hits the wall by his back and was cornered by Ca.s.sie. A naughty smile playing on his lips.
"What you gonna do now, Miss Ca.s.sandra Young?" Shun sounded like challenging Ca.s.sie but in a loving-silly way.
Ca.s.sie smacks the wall with both of her hands and looks at Shun with a serious expression then tiptoed to render a kiss on his lips. He sighed. As time pa.s.ses by, this girl showing more of her wild side and he is loving it.
Ca.s.sie parted her lips and smirk. Shun guessing how this girl had silly ideas on her head.
"How about me riding my bike and jump from a ridge? Of course, wearing my wedding dress," Ca.s.sie said naughtily that made Shun drop his mouth. He knew it! She has crazy ideas!
He recollects that time he strolls at the man-made forest and witnessing how Ca.s.sie jump from a ridge and flips her back. His heart wanna jump out from shocked seeing those dangerous stunts. Shun's face twitches remembering that moment.
"I won't allow it, lady!" He strongly refused. Ca.s.sie laughs while avoiding his reach.
"Come here, you naughty lady!" Shun locked her on his arms when he caught her, Ca.s.sie continues giggling staring at his panicking expression.
"No way, I would include that!"
"But I could still do it," Ca.s.sie insisted to keep teasing Shun tonight.
"A big no!"
Ca.s.sie laughs. Shun covered her mouth and she quite down responding to his kisses. She felt when Shun carried her inside and gently put down to their soft bed.
"I love you, Ca.s.sandra Young. I don't care whether you were the woman I once love in my past life if you are the reincarnation of Marivella Chen. All I know, and all I want is, you are my Ca.s.sandra Young," Shun said lovingly.
Tears quickly run down from her eyes. "Don't make me cry like this," she complains. "But it made me so happy at the same time."
Shun kisses her eyes to dry her tears. "Thank you," Ca.s.sie said between her sobbing. "I love you too--"
Shun claimed her lips before she could finish. She let it be and tasted his sweet kisses devouring her. She prayed that no more dark clouds threaten and cover the clear sky above them.
