Chapter 307: Epilogue (4)

Next day,

"Adam?" Stella called out as she made her way out of the bathroom. She had just taken a shower and now was looking for the dress which she needed to wear for the day. It was a housewarming party, more specifically a feast. She didn't want to be late to her own party and be a bad host to her guests. Only those who were their family were invited. The couple didn't want the media to get their hands on the address. They wanted to keep their safe haven clean and out of the news.

But the man who took the responsibility of arranging her dress was nowhere to be found. She had a rough idea that he might be downstairs looking after the preparations. There was no way she could go down in a bathrobe. Thinking that it would be better to just call him, she reached out for her phone with the hope that he had his phone on him. She was about to hit the dial button when there was a knock on the door of the room.

"Coming." She made her way to the door. She knew that it was one of the maids because no maleservant was allowed to come to their unless Adam himself was there.

"Ma'am, Sir sent this for you." A girl who seemed to be in her early twenties spoke up as she passed her a balck dress bag to her. "And he said that he still needs to make sure that everything is going smoothly so he'll just meet you downstairs." the girl gave Stella a polite smile.

"Is he already ready for the party?" Stella questioned the maid when she heard the message she had conveyed.

"Yes, Ma'am." The maid answered briefly.

"Alright, thank you." Stella muttered out before making her way back to the bed. Placing down the dress, she decided to look at the note which was stuck on the front first.

'You don't say yes to the wedding, but I still want to see you in a white dress.

Love,

-A.'

The words left her utterly confused. It wasn't until she unzipped the black dress bag and peeped inside, did she get what he meant by it.

"How's my man doing?" It was Wilson whose voice was reverberating through the quiet hall. He made his way across the room and hugged Adam, taking him by surprise. "It's good to see you after such a long time, man." He patted his back. "Where are my niece and nephew?" His busy routine at the hospital barely left him with any free time. Moreover, his man took whatever the free time he had on his hands.

"Thanks for the invite." Blythe spoke up who was trailing Wilson. He was wearing a paersian blue suit which contrasted well with Wilson's ash gray one. The golden brooches pinned on the left lapels of their coat, showed that they were from a couple's collection.

Adam gave him a firm nod as recognition. "You are his family, which makes you our family too." Adam gave him a friendly smile. "You two are just in time. Katherine and Scott are at the pool. My two little devils are with them."

"Aren't you coming with us?" Wilson questioned him as he came to a stop next to his other half. The two of them had already been married for a little over two years. Blythe was still one of the potential partners of R&E Group of Companies along with being a part of their family.

"I'll wait for my wife. You guys go and join them." Adam shook his head as he motioned a servant to guide them to the poolside.

He wanted to arrange an indoor lunch, but his dear wife's wishes didn't let him do so. As it was the beginning spring, the breeze was good and it wasn't too hot either. With those thoughts, she wanted him to get it arranged by the pool. Being the henpecked husband which he was, there was no way he wouldn't do what his wife had demanded.

A couple of clicks resonated through the quiet hall which made him turn his attention to the staircase. His heart skipped a beat the moment his eyes landed on the figure of his woman as she descended down the stairs. To say that she looked no less than an angel in that white gown, wouldn't be wrong.

Even after the birth of the twins, her figure was no less than a model's. In fact, all the hormonal changes only added to her beauty as her bosom was now more full. Moreover, she didn't just stick around to office work, she had started gyming regularly with Adam. Whatever fats she did put on during her pregnancy, was now replaced by toned muscles.

"Y-you look beautiful." Coming out of his stupor, Adam complimented her as his feet made their way to the bottom of the staircase. His eyes trailed off to her dress and he couldn't stop his lips from curling up in a smile.

The sleeveless plain white frock reached her lower thighs, stopping two or three inches above her knees. There were two slits on either side of her waist from where her milky smooth skin was peeking out. The boat shaped neck covered her clavicles, hiding them from anyone's prying eyes.

Her hair had grown back to their previous length, reaching a little above her waist. They were tied up in a low pony with a couple of loose tendrils framing her face. A faint rosy blush hugged her cheeks as her toffee pink lips were curled up in a smile.

"I am more than happy that I chose this dress." Adam spoke up as he extended his hand forward.

"Why is that?" Stella muttered out as she descended down the last couple of steps and accepted his hand.

"Because you do justice to it. It did look good in the pictures, but it looks so much better on you." He gently kissed the back of her hand.

"Your tongue is surely getting better and better. Let's not keep our guests waiting." She shook her head helplessly.

"Sure." Wrapping his arm around her waist, he guided her out of the hall.
