Then Comes Spring When Winter Ends - Chapter 123 Happiness In A Midst Of Gloom
Derek was frustrated as well because things aren’t going the way he planned, even though he had the diagram drew by Crystal, a lot had changed and he kept running into obstacle. He wanted to get things done fast and get out alive. He wants to witness the birth of his first child. He craves for his wife’s scent, touch and taste. Just the thought of having her in his arms caused his buddy down there to hardenened and he wanted to kick himself for his stimulating himself in such an awkward situation. He have been trying to tunnel their way in, he is currently in the lead, on all four, in a crampy position surrounded by earth and creepy crawlies. The moment he took in his surroundings, his hard member became flaccid, his men on the other hand, behind him thought he had heard or encountered some traps or anomaly causing him to pause, but they didn’t dare question him now, they will have to ask him later once they arrive a cave up ahead.
Father Lee who was making good progress had started to help out a little in the Lee corporation affairs lightening Jade’s work load. He was afraid she might exert herself too much causing her pregnancy to have problems. She had a little scare that day, when she suddenly had premature contraction, she had to be admitted for complete bed rest and monitoring. Luckily the little fella in her decided to behave. Doctor Angela mentioned that she was overworked and stressed. She was indeed under a great stressed, she missed her shameless man, she felt she was back to that 6 months period without him, cut off from all forms of communication. She is worried for his safety and wellbeing. She sighed, she needs to think of a plan to get Heather real distracted from realising Derek is there. She is determined to help her husband out. Her thoughts were disturbed by Chris and Jen. They reprimanded her for still thinking deeply about other things when she should focus on maintaining a healthy pregnancy.
She kept quiet as she was in no mood to argue nor chat, her mind was busy at work, Chris tried his best to distract her by informing her of his engagement. She was pleased with the news. Jen on the other hand was complaining how shabby his proposal was but her eyes were twinkling and bursting with happiness when she was talking about it. She even informed Jade how Chris is such an unromantic guy. She had been sulking after April’s wedding and she had been hinting by pretending to be interested in jewellery.
Chris did not take the hint, instead he was puzzled, he even mentioned to her that he thought she was not someone who liked jewellery due to her bare hands, neck and ears. Jen dislikes wearing jewelleries and Chris knew about it because he bought a few sets back then but she only wore it for one or two occasions and kept it away, her skin are too sensitive despite all the jewelleries he bought were pure gold. Finally, she could not take it anymore, she plainly asked him when was he going to put a ring on her finger. The next thing she knew, she was dragged to one of the jewellery shop of his choice and she was made to choose a ring of her choice. He ordered one custom made one to match her choice. She chose a simple wedding band as she disliked sparkles and shine. One the rings were ready he took her dainty fingers and slide the ring in and said there you go.
Jen explained she was left puzzled if that ring was a casual gift of it meant more than that as he did not formally proposed. Jade smacked Chris forehead for not learning a thing or two from Derek and Adam. “I will invest heavily in making my marriage work than invest in the proposal and marriage process” he said in his defense. Jade told him he should not act to shabbily but Jen quickly defended her man by saying she actually agreed with his statement, she loves things to be simple. Jade could only smile at the happy couple. She would not interfere with any of their plans instead she will support them full hearted. April who arrived slightly later caught the wind of things flicked Chris forehead for being thoughtless, she even lectured Chris by saying, “You only marry once a lifetime, do her justice, how can you be so shabby? It is not that you can’t afford.” Jade nodded her head in agreement.
“Dear sisters, both of your weddings weren’t wedding of the centuries to be exact, are you two unhappy?” Chris asked unwilling to lose to the two who seemed to have gang up on him, even Jen now, looked at his questioningly, he needed to turn the tide to his favor.
“We are happy, yes, our weddings aren’t exactly wedding of the centuries but it was planned with much thoughts and effort and it was filled with joy and love.” Jade replied and it was April’s turn to nod in agreement.
Chris raised both hands up in surrender, “I know I made a general statement about not investing much in the marriage process, but I promise you Jen, our wedding day will be filled with equally joy, warmth and love like theirs because the important people in our lives will be the witness to our vow to love and to be truthful to each other for the rest of our lives till our dying breath and after that baby, I will give you all the love you need, satisfy you however you want.” he said with a cheeky grin on his face followed by a blissful look of contentment.
Jen could not help but blush by his statement. In the shamelessness department, her man does not lose out one bit to the other two mighty men, Derek and Adam. However, compare to Derek, he rarely shows this side of him often, which is truly grateful as she won’t know how to handle a 24/7 shameless man. Her skin is not as thick as Jade when it comes to enduring shameless behaviour.
