Mommy...Can you Win Daddy's Love again?

Adrian, who was looking at her from afar. He was mesmerized to see her attire. He imagined a goddess coming from heaven when she was walking towards him. But he couldn't see her face clearly as her face was covered with a veil. 

" Dad...Mommy is looking so beautiful, " Sam said excitedly while standing beside him. 

Katherine could sense his gaze even though she was walking, lowering her eyes. The diamond necklace around her slender neck was shining brightly with the sunlight which was gifted by Mrs. Wilson.

 Adrian forgot all the differences between them.. He was watching her intensely without blinking his eyes. For a few minutes, he forgot the guests around him, even his mother and his son. His concentration was only on Katherine.

Finally, Katherine stood beside Adrian. Thomas handed Katherine's hand and said, " Forget the sorrows and pains you both faced in the past. Please keep her happy "

The priest recited the homily to the guests, as well as the couple, about the importance of the bond of the holy matrimony. 

" Till my last breath, I will protect her and try to keep happy," Adrian replied, looking at her.

Thomas stepped back so that the priest would start the ritual of their wedding. Katherine and Adrian stood opposite each other in front of the priest.

They looked into each other's faces. Even though there was no smile on their lips. Their eyes were expressing love for each other. 

" I, Adrian Wilson, 

Take you, Katherine Davis, 

To be my wife; 

with your faults and your strengths, as I offer myself to you with my faults and my strengths.

I will help you when you need help and turn to you when I need help. I choose you as the person with whom I will spend my life."

Adrian said wholeheartedly looking at Katherine's eyes.

" I, Katherine Davis, 

Take you, Adrian Wilson, 

To be my Husband; 

with your faults and your strengths, as I offer myself to you with my faults and my strengths.

I will help you when you need help and turn to you when I need help. I choose you as the person with whom I will spend my life." Katherine promised, looking into his eyes and noticed happiness in his eyes.

" Please exchange your rings" the priest announced.

Sam quickly ran towards their parents with two boxes. First, Adrian took the ring from the box smiling at his son. 

Katherine forwarded her left hand to him. He held her soft left palm with both hands and slid the ring on her ring finger. Then he forwarded his left hand to her. She slid the ring on his ring fingers.

" From now on, you are bonded in the relationship of husband and wife" The priest announced and all the guests around them applauded with a bright smile.

" You can kiss your bride…" The priest said.

Adrian was tempted to see her face clearly as the veil covered her face. He stepped forward towards her and removed the veil from her face. He looked at her face and his heart skipped with her beauty. Then his eyes moved to her thin red lips which were inviting him to taste. She blushed with his intense gaze and lowered her eyes. 

He pulled her closer to his chest and sealed her lips with a passionate kiss. Again the guest applauded making teasing noises to the couple.

" Why is Daddy eating my Mommy? " Little Sam asked Maria innocently, looking at them.

She had no idea how to answer the little one. Adrian stepped back with his son's question and looked at his son. He forgot about Sam's presence with them. Katherine stood silently with his question.

Thomas replied, " Your dad showing love for your mom"

"But mom used to kiss me only on my cheeks. That means mom doesn't love me! ," He said with a pout.

Adrian smiled thinking of his jealous son just like him. Adrian picked him in his arms and kissed his cheeks. 

Then he explained, " That kiss is only shared with your wife. As your mom is my wife now. I kissed her "

" If I become big, can I kiss my wife! " Sam asked his father.

" Of course…" Adrian replied while laughing.

************

Everyone congratulated them one by one. All the guests took pictures with the newly wedded couple.

The photographer took the photoshoot to the newly wedded couples in private. All the time, Adrian didn't take his hands off her body. He was enjoying the closeness being with her touch but he pretended to be serious with her.

…...

After the photoshoot, Maria informed Katherine to toss the wedding bouquet as per the tradition. All the unmarried girls were standing back at her and trying to catch it. As there was a belief that whoever does, gets married next. 

Among all, the bouquet was caught by Ruby. Steven was watching them from far away. He smiled inward as he wanted to marry her soon. 

Katherine hugged her and kissed her cheek. 

Adrian doesn't want to be away from her. As many eyes were gawking at his beautiful wife. If it was not his wedding, he doesn't allow one to look at her. His eyes were on her wherever she was moving. Mostly she was talking with Emily, Jasmine, and Ruby. After some time, Maria asked Adrian to take Katherine for lunch and told him to take some rest so that they could look fresh at the evening party. 

He thought it was a good opportunity to take her away from everyone. He walked towards her and informed her to feed Sam as he was feeling hungry. She immediately excused herself and searched for her son. 

He saw Little Sam was playing with Steven. She pointed her finger towards their direction.

" Who is he?" Adrian asked her.

" Ruby's boss. His name is Steven " she replied 

" Interesting. Boss came to his assistant's relative's wedding " he said while walking in that direction.

" What do you mean? " She asked him.

" Don't act as if you are so innocent…" he smiled.

" Nothing is there. If anything is there between them, then Ruby would have told me about it. Don't corrupt my brain, " she said irritatingly.

 They went towards them and Katherine asked Sam to come to have lunch.

" Is this a way to treat guests?" Steven asked her.

" What do you mean? " Katherine asked seriously.

" Don't you ask whether the guest has lunch or not? " Steven asked her.

" I am so sorry. Please join for lunch " Adrian invited him.

" Can I ask you one question? " Steven hesitated.

" Sure…" Adrian said.

" I heard from guests and Ruby that ...yours is love marriage. Then how could you tolerate this angry woman? " Steven asked, looking at Katherine.

" How dare you call me, angry woman! Huh! A doesn't like to flirt like you. But I control my anger because you are Ruby's boss and you brought her to my wedding. " She whispers yelled.

" Am I looking like a flirt to you, Mr. Wilson? " Steven questioned Adrian.

Meanwhile, Ruby walked towards them and invited Steven to have lunch. 

" Ruby...stay away from this man. I don't like him being close to you " she ordered her.

" Calm down. My boss is very friendly. And most importantly he brought me near in his private plane as I requested him. So please don't talk to him like that " Ruby explained.

Katherine and Adrian were startled knowing about it. They looked at each other.

" He is my boss, Mr. Steven Brown, chair of maple corp. " Ruby introduced to Adrian.

" Nice to meet you." Adrian shook his hand with him.

" I heard so much about you, Mr. Wilson. I heard how you achieve your goals in a short time. I hope our meeting will be again " Steven said.

" Thank you for your compliments, Mr. Brown " Adrian smiled.

" Steven Brown…" Katherine repeated his name in a low voice with a pale face.

" Yes. I am Steven Brown…" He said with a genuine smile.

Her face become worried. She held Adrian's hand firmly. 

" Are you feeling tired? " Adrian asked with concern.

She nodded her head looking at Steven. Then Katherine and Adrian had their lunch and went to the room along with Sam. 

…..

On the other, Thomas was busy taking care of arrangements with Emily. Jasmine went to take some rest as she was tired. Ruby was spending her time with Steven. They both went to walk by the lake enjoying the view of nature.

…..

In the resort, Adrian was playing with Sam. But Katherine instructed him to change the dress and sleep for some time. 

" Mommy...I want to play some more time," he pleaded to Katherine.

" Sam...be like a good boy and listen to me," she said in a serious tone.

" No. I don't want to be a good boy. I want to be a bad boy. I want to play with daddy " he replied to his mom.

" Sam...we will play in the evening. Listen to your mom. " Adrian said.

" No….I want to play with dad…" he pleaded to Katherine.
