Edith woke up the next morning and noticed that she had overslept. The memories of last night came to her mind and she was a little shy. 

Ever since she had entered the second trimester, Edith thought that her mind and body would unconsciously think about that… However, when she thought of her body, Edith tried hard to suppress her need.

It was only until last night that she had the courage to take action.

In the morning, although her body was a little tired and sore, Edith woke up feeling refreshed.

"You're up."

Edith turned her head towards his voice and saw that Neil had just walked out of the bathroom. The towel only covered his bottom half and some water drops were trickling down his torso.

Subconsciously, Edith swallowed and bit her lips. She had just woken up and the sight of his upper body made her thoughts gone wild. Perhaps there was something wrong with her body.

Neil leaned forward and kissed the top of her head. "Come on. Didn't I tell you that we have someplace to go today?"

"Where are we going?"

"You will know later." Neil flashed her a mysterious smile. His gaze trailed down and halted at a spot.

Facing his intense gaze, Edith felt her body heated up. She raised her arms to cover her chest area and asked, "W-what are you looking at?"

His hands moved to fondle the area. "Baby, it seemed that this area has grown bigger."

Edith met his darkened eyes before she swatted his hand away. "I'm going to shower." She got off the bed and went into the bathroom to clean up. His laughter reverberated in the room. 

When she walked out of the room, Edith noticed that everyone was staring at her with a strange smile on their face. Her face grew hot at the thought that they probably guessed at what she had done last night.

She lowered her head and greeted the elders before she took a seat at the table and had her breakfast.

"I heard that you're going out with Neil today," Mike said when he saw his granddaughter walked down the stairs.

Edith quickly dismissed her earlier thought and lowered her head.

"Mmm…" Edith nodded. "Neil said that he'll take me somewhere, but he won't tell me where."

Mike exchanged a gaze with Neil and decided not to be a spoilsport. Since Neil decided not to tell Edith where he was taking her, Mike quickly guessed that Neil wanted it to be a surprise.

At this time, Hazel walked into the dining area. Her eyes sparkled when she saw Edith. "Auntie Edith, did you eat your breakfast? Are you ready to go out?"

Edith gave Hazel a look over and saw that she was dressed in a black tutu and pink T-shirt. Her little bag slung on one shoulder. "Hazel, you're looking pretty in that outfit."

The little girl's eyes sparkled. "Grandma picked up the outfit for me. Uncle said he's going to take us out."

Edith glanced at the man who had entered the dining area right after Hazel and gave him a puzzled look. However, Neil only flashed her a smile. Her curiosity grew when she knew that Hazel will be going out with them. 

It has been a while since the three of them had gone out together and Edith found that she was looking forward to it.

After breakfast, the three of them sat in the SUV as Neil drove them over to the unknown location. Edith turned to the little girl in the backseat and asked, "Hazel, do you know where we are going?"

Hazel nodded. "I know." Her gaze met with her uncle through the rear mirror briefly. "But I cannot tell you."

Edith stared back at Hazel and blinked her eyes. "You're keeping a secret from me?"

Hazel was suddenly at loss. She exchanged another glance with her uncle through the rear mirror and lowered her head. "But I've promised to keep it a surprise."

Seeing the way Hazel was looking helplessly and pitifully at her, Edith decided to let her go. "Alright. Since you have made a promise, of course, you have to keep your words."

Hazel raised her head. "Auntie Edith, you're not angry?"

"Of course not. I'm proud that Hazel is turning into someone who would keep her promise." Edith flashed her an assuring smile. "I will know about this surprise sooner or later, right?"

Hazel nodded her head. When she was sure that her Auntie Edith did not mind that she had not told her the secret, Hazel smiled with relief.

After half an hour's drive, Neil finally pulled over at a parking spot. Edith tilted her head to look at the signboard and then, she looked back at her husband. "Why are we here?"

Neil raised a brow. "What do you think?" He stretched his hand to her and smiled. "Come on. Let's go in."

The three of them walked into the wedding boutique hand in hand and were soon welcomed by the shop attendant. The shop attendant's expression brightened when she recognized the customer.

"President Mo," she greeted politely. "We have prepared everything according to your request." She then turned to Edith and smiled. "And this is Mrs. Mo?" The smile on her face widened. "Come in."

Neil then exchanged a few words with the shop attendant before he looked back at Edith. "Go with the shop attendant and choose a dress. I'll wait here."

Edith tilted her head as she looked at him. "Are we here for our wedding photo?"

"Mmm… It won't be long before the wedding. Of course, we will need our wedding photo." Neil then turned to Hazel. "Will you help Auntie Edith to pick her dress?"

Hazel nodded enthusiastically. "Of course. Uncle, leave this to me."

The two girls then followed the shop attendant further into the shop to choose a suitable dress. Half an hour later, the two of them walked out. Hearing their voices, Neil tilted his head up and was suddenly in a trance.

His wife was wearing a white wedding dress. The dress wrapped her upper body, showing off her curve. The skirt flare from below her chest area, making her seem a little taller while hiding the bump on her stomach. Behind her, Hazel, the flower girl, was wearing a pastel pink dress. In her hand was a bouquet of baby breath. 

Edith stopped at the center of the room and twirled around slowly. "How do I look?"

Neil stood up and walked over to her. His gaze never left hers. He then reached to hold her hand and planted a kiss on the back of her hand.. "Beautiful."
