Morgana's sister pulled her by the hand to approach their parents in the living room who has been staring at each other for a while now, Simone saw them approaching and felt shy, on the other hand, Marcus is in a frantic, all the words that he memorizes on the carrier plane has been for naught, the moment he set his eyes on Simone he totally forgot everything. As in everything, now, he's been sitting in the living room saying nothing feeling awkward and stupid.
Dad, What's up??? Did the cat got your tongue??? Arriane said as she and her sister approach
Marcus looks at his daughter scratching his head, stammering as he speaks: " ah.... N...no, it.... It's.....ju....just that I......i forgot everything.....that I wanted to....say
Dad, it's not that hard, all we wanted to hear from you is, do you still love mom??? If so, then tell her. Morgana said smiling encouraging her father
Marcus: " Ye..... Yes!!! I.....do, I do... Marcus said as he peeks at Simone's face watching her reaction.
Mom??? Morgana and her sister look at Simone and inquired simultaneously.
Simone feels so ashamed and can't even lift her head to look at them as she blushed: " what are you guys doing??? Stop all this nonsense, your dad and I are no longer a child that needs your help in this, Simone said waving her hand as she shoos driving them away.
Your mother is right, they don't need your help, they may be feeling awkward right now, but they will soon get over it. Besides, what we really want to hear from them especially to Marcus is his future plan. Mariana said as she and Simon walked out of the private lift and approach them. She then sits on the cot beside Simon and patted the empty space beside her indicating for Morgana and Arriane to sit beside her.
Everyone turned to look at Mariana as they heard her voice before they turn back to look at Simone and Marcus. What Mariana said made sense, what is really important right now is to know about Marcus's future plan.
He and Simone are already too old to play house, he must have a plan not just for their future but also for Simone's safety, just like how Morgana plan for Eric and Niña's future in her mind.
Oh, about my plan, if it is okay with you, I want to bring Simone back with me in Brooklyn, we can get married there, of course, all of you are invited Marcus said as he finally managed to speak without stammering and feeling the pressure of courting the woman he loved in front of his twin daughters.
Hmmm, that's good, but I don't think that it would be wise to marry now, the civil wedding will do for now, as long as you are both happy it's what really matters now. Mariana said nodding her head.
Marcus scratch his head when he heard what his future mother in law has to say if they would ask him, he would like to marry Simone in a church or a beach wedding, he wanted to invite all his classmates and buddies to witness his wedding. Alas, it seems like it would never happen in the near future, like what Mariana said it is not suitable for them to marry in the church for they have many enemies who wanted to take their lives at any given moment.
Mmm, if that's what you want, it's fine with me as long as I have Simone and my daughters with me that will be enough. Marcus said nodding his head as he agreed to Mariana's suggestion.
Mariana: " hmm, that's settled then, so, when are we going??? I'm sure Morgana here is more than eager to leave the island for she has many things to do. Even if she doesn't say it, I know that her concerns right now are Niña and Eric's education, since that she is not around all the time the kids will need someone to keep them safe.
Oh, Simone, maybe you should ask Lewis about his plan with Giselle if I'm not mistaken, Giselle is about the right age to send her to school with Niña and Eric. Mariana said as if she reads what's in Morgana's minds.
Morgana: " Oh, right ill do that later, Morgana said to her grandmother thankful for bringing up the subject on her behalf.
Simon: Hmm, you guys have already decided, aren't you're going to ask Simone about her say in this matter???
Simone reddened once again as she hears Simon's words if she is to decide and say what's in her mind, maybe she would say that she'd rather have the wedding on the island, it'll be a beach wedding, but as her mother said it is not convenient. It would not be easy to invite all their friends and family over to the island to witness their wedding.
It is already decided, and I have nothing against it, although most women dream of a grand wedding, I and Marcus are already too old for that, the time is not convenient for a grand wedding and whether it is grand or not, the happiness of the couple still depends to them, not to the people who will attend and witness the wedding. Simone said blushing especially when Marcus came to her side and kissed her on her forehead with love and respect.
So, that's it??? Hmmm, I just thought that both of you may like a grand beach wedding, we're on the island anyway, all you guys have to do is arranged the wedding preparations and invite all your family and important friends. We, here on the island can help with the wedding venue, just a simple touch, and decoration is all the beach needed to make it look perfect for a beach wedding. Simon suggested smiling at Simone and Marcus. This is his only daughter's wedding that they are talking about, even if she is already old and have a daughter of her own, she still deserves a grand wedding that every woman dreams about.
