Never mind. I don't need your number anymore. He said with a rather cold tone. He walked away and bumped his shoulder into hers. Looking at her one last time with a demeaning gaze. Rose was annoyed. He was the one who asked for her number. How could he suddenly act so cold and indifferent to her?
Then an idea came to her mind. Hah! Does he think I am desperate for him? Just because he's handsome and rich, he thinks all women want to sleep with him! That man never changes, he's still so full of himself! She murmured to herself.Yes, that's right. She wouldn't bother to even seduce him. A horrible man like that didn't deserve her attention at all. Rose was no longer the woman she once was. She wouldn't let anyone take advantage of her again. She had become a different person. This time, she would do things her own way.Rose, just where in the world are you?Ricardo headed back to his own seat. His body was there, but his mind was wandering elsewhere. He couldn't stop thinking about the woman he had seen earlier. She reminded him so much of Rose that he suddenly remembered what happened five years ago. When he heard about the accident, he quickly went over there to check everything. However, the police and rescue team had told him that it was impossible for her to survive. They had checked the surrounding area as well, but she was nowhere to be found. Even if she managed to escape, she would be attacked by wolves or other wild animals in the mountains. Everyone told him she was dead, but they never found her body. Deep down, he had a feeling that she was actually still alive. As he was lost in his own thoughts, a pair of arms wrapped him from behind.Where have you been? It was Diana. Ricardo turned around to meet her gaze. Diana was a pretty woman. Out of all her features, the one that stood out the most was her green eyes. They were the color of the forest in daylight. Nothing. I was just wondering if you wanted to get the bouquet from this wedding later. He asked.Hm, what do you mean by that? I know Gloria well, and I've sent one of my assistants to ask for the bouquet from her later, if you want to, of course. Diana was surprised. There was only one reason why he would ask that question. Traditionally, the bride would throw her bouquet of flowers to unmarried people in the room and whoever caught it was said to get married next. If Ricardo asked her about it, that meant he wanted to marry her soon.Does this mean you want to finally hold a wedding for us? She asked. The whole time, Ricardo had been postponing their wedding. Even though he had proposed to her one year ago, they still had not gotten married yet. Not even planning for it at all. Did it mean he was finally ready?Yes! Oh Goodness! Of course, I want to. I've been waiting for this day for so long! A drop of tear fell from her eyes. She hugged him and buried her face in his chest.I'm so happy, Ricardo, you have no idea how grateful I am right now. Ricardo hesitated but he eventually hugged her back. Logically, there was no reason for him to postpone the wedding any longer. Diana was his first love. She had a good family background, and they had known each other for the longest time. He knew almost everything about her and vice versa. She never pressured him or asked for anything unreasonable. He couldn't find a reason to postpone the wedding any longer.Meanwhile, in the bridal room, the three children were accompanying Gloria. Don't be nervous Aunt Gloria, you're going to be fine! Ivy patted the bride's hand and smiled. Gloria was so touched by her words and lightly squeezed Ivy's cheek.Thank you so much, little angel. Ah, the three of you are so adorable. I don't know what I've done to deserve to meet such cute angels like you in my life. She sighed happily. Not long after, there was a knock on the door. Who is it? The door was opened and Rico, Ricardo's assistant, entered the room. Gloria was also a good acquaintance with him.What do you want? She asked, a little displeased by his presence since he ruined her moment with the children. Before he answered, Rico took a good look at the three children. He had never seen them before, but he was quite shocked.Why do these kids look so much like my boss? He wondered. Especially the kid in a blue suit. He looked like a mini carbon copy of Mr Ricardo. Sorry to disturb you, but Mr. Ricardo has made a request from you to give your bouquet to miss Diana later. Gloria frowned.Why would he make such a request?Well, looks like he's ready to finally hold their wedding. He wanted to make it public to her. He replied. And what does it have to do with me? Why should I comply with his request? Gloria replied again, feeling irritated.Miss Gloria, you know Mr. Ricardo is an important business partner for you and your partner. He has sponsored a lot of your medical trips. Please just accept this small request of his. Before Gloria could say anything else, Ivy stepped forward. That's silly! If they want to get married, just get married! No need to involve others like this. Ivy chuckled, finding the idea amusing. Okay, fine. Tell him I'll do it. Once the business was done, Rico left the room, sparing one last glance at the children before closing the door. Meanwhile, the children exchanged gazes with each other. Evan had a cold expression on his face, while Eric was not amused at all. Ivy also looked upset. They nodded as if they were agreeing on something, but no words were spoken.The three kids rushed over to Gloria's side and smiled mischievously.Aunt Gloria, can you please do us a favor?***The wedding event finally started. Rose and the children were seated at a table on the left side of the room. They were happily eating their meal and chatting with each other. Meanwhile, Ricardo and Diana were seated in a VIP section on the right side of the room.The wedding went really smoothly until it was finally time to throw the bouquet. Some single and unmarried people who attended were ready to grab them when Gloria went to grab the microphone. Everyone, thank you so much for coming. Firstly, I want to announce that I will not be throwing the flower bouquet tonight. Instead, it would be given directly to Miss Diana, fiancée of Mr. Ricardo, who has made a lot of personal contributions to me and my husband. There was some disappointment from the single people in the room, but they understood. Now, the bouquet will be delivered by a little friend of mine, Ivy! Ivy jumped from her seat and was about to walk toward the front when Rose grabbed her hand.Ivy, are you really going to deliver it? Rose was confused because she was not told about this in advance. Don't worry, mum. It's just delivering a bouquet, I'll be fine. She said before walking to the stage. Everyone was in awe of how cute the little girl was. She had the prettiest amber eyes one had ever seen.She took the bouquet from Gloria and walked over to Ricardo and Diana. Hm, this will be fun. Ivy thought.
