The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 829
"Are you nervous?" She asked me, and there was no point lying, so I nodded and said yes.
"Me too. My mother said it will be worse tomorrow, but then it will be okay after," she said, and I smiled in response. I had nothing to say. I did not want to sit in my room and worry about the wedding.
My bracelet caught Susan's eyes, and she lifted my hand to admire my wrist.
"Palladium, Leo has taste," She said, and I smiled and pulled my hand away from her.
"My mother gave it to me. It was a gift to her from my father," I said, and she smiled at me.
"You two are connecting," she said, and I nodded.
"I am happy for you," she said, and I thanked her.
"So what will we be doing tonight?" She asked.
"Tamia has organised a spa treatment party for us at the pool bath," I said, and she squealed. I could see her eagerness and was happy for her. She talked a lot about her dress. Susan had never been the chatty kind, but she seemed to be talking suddenly; I guess that was how she handled nervousness. One thing was sure. She was very happy and could not wait to share her life with Devin.
I spent a bit with her and decided to see Claudia.
"Where are you?" I linked Claudia.
"In the playroom with the children." She said, and I hurried towards the playroom.
I saw Avery, Claudia, Katya and the nannies when I got there. The others were busy with the wedding plans.
"Amelia, you finally joined us," Avery said, smiling and playing with Marvin.
"Yes, I finally did," I said and went to where Claudia was with the girls playing with dolls. Lilly and Harper were with them too. While Liam, Oliver, and Miles were running around the place. I knew Nicole's children won't be in the playroom because they were older. They were probably playing in the garden-turned-playground on the western side of the estate.
"When did you guys come in?" I asked Claudia, even though I knew when they returned.
"This morning," Claudia said, and Harper handed me a doll, making me sit with them.
I collected the doll from her and thanked her. She was kind like her mother but looked a lot like her grandmother.
"So, are you nervous about tomorrow?" I managed, picking up a tiny comb to comb the doll's hair.
"She has been going on and on about it," Katya said with her eyes fixed on the boys.
"Vino wants us to live in Lucland because of my work," Claudia said.
I was surprised that Vino would be that considerate because he seemed attached to his brothers.
"Wow, he is considerate," I said, and Claudia smiled and nodded.
"Yes, but I said no. I would rather be here than live in Lucland. So I tendered my resignation yesterday. Besides, the girls did not seem to like it in that place. They seem more relaxed here with Harper and Lilly around," Claudia said, and it was amazing to see how she had quickly assumed the motherly role for them. The triplets were blessed.
"So, what are your honeymoon plans?" Claudia asked me, and I shrugged.
"Leo said it's a surprise," I said, and she laughed.
"I am sure you will like it," She said.
We spent a while playing with the children.
When it was time for their meal, we excused them.
We headed towards the pool bath in the building for the spa treatment her Majesty, Queen Tamia, had organised for us.
On getting there, we found Tamia, Nicole, Susan and Linda receiving the spa treatment; even Stephanie was there.
"It seems we are late for this party," Avery said, taking off her clothes to get into the warm pool with rose petals.
"Planning that event was killing. We needed the treatment," Linda complained, and Tamia laughed.
"And you wanted something grande," She said, letting Linda realise the magnitude of the work that needed to be done.
"Well, we would have had more than two wedding planners and would not need to be on the ground for anything," Linda said, and Tamia ignored her and continued to laugh.
"Lovely bracelet, Amelia," Nicole said, noticing my bracelet, and I thanked her for it. The women admired the jewellery.
Following Avery's example, we stripped and got into the hot bath. It was soothing and relaxing. I could understand why this was necessary; all my anxiety was gone, and I looked forward to the wedding.
