Freya gave Charity a call right away. She chuckled. “Ryan proposed to me last night.”
Charity was surprised but soon thought she should not be. “Well, you two have been dating for two years. Dating longer isn’t necessarily a good thing.”
“I think so too. Ryan is nice, and he’s worth treasuring. The fear from my previous relationship’s failure has also healed over the last two years, so I accepted his proposal.”
Freya smiled and said, “I told Cathy, and she was pretty envious. So, she went back and nagged at Shaun that they hadn’t had a wedding yet. Shaun agreed immediately and said they’d have it together with us. We don’t want it to be too grand because it’ll be troublesome, so we’ll just have a small wedding at a seaside hotel with parents and friends from both sides in attendance.”
“That’s great. I won’t have to attend two weddings since you two are having it together,” Charity teased.
“Do you want to have your wedding with us? You and Chester are back together anyway.”
Charity was taken aback, but she refused without hesitation. “Forget it. We just got back together not long ago. Besides… my relationship with Chester is slightly complicated. It’s not what you think it is.”
“Will you guys break up again?”
“No.” Charity had mixed feelings. “Although we’re back together, we can’t return to what we were before. There’ll always be some bumps that we have to smoothen out slowly. I need more time too.”
“Since you’ve agreed to be with him again, why are you still holding on to the past and overthinking?” Freya laughed and said, “Okay. If you’re unwilling, just remember to give us a wedding gift and be our bridesmaid.”
“Sure.”
After hanging up, a mix of emotions overcame Charity.
Her best friends were getting married, and she was happy for them.
However… she was not envious.
Nevertheless, that did not mean that Chester was not jealous.
He had become so brazen. He knew Larissa would surely ask him to stay for dinner if he went over during mealtimes.
He had not seen Cal for the entire day too, and as Cal’s father, he missed him.
Chester lifted his son and whispered to him secretly, “Grow up fast and be a flower boy for your mom and me.”
Cal smiled widely while listening. His eyes were bright, and he stretched his hand to touch Chester’s face.
“Does that mean you agree? Good boy.” Chester was all smiles.
“What are you guys talking about?” Charity just got off work. After parking and heading inside, she saw the father and son together. The little boy did not know how to speak yet, but his fair face had a silly smile on it.
She did not realize it before, but now that Chester and Cal were together, they looked exactly like each other.
