October pirsed her lips as she looked at the lined up dresses that she had tried on. All of the gowns were in and of itself gorgeous. Also, all of it seems to be comfortable to wear.
"All of the wedding gowns are beautiful, however,..." October paused and turned to look at her mother-in-law straight in the eyes and continued, "...none of them seems to catch my attention. I"m sorry for this, mother."
Truly, October felt bad for not having to choose one of the gowns that her mother-in-law have prepared for her. However, she also has to be truthful of her opinion with this. That was why, she was sincerely apologizing for all of the inconveniences she had done today.
Mother Song looked at her daugter-in-law with a downcasted look. She then sighed to herself before a warm smile formee on her thin red lips.
"There is no need for you to be sorry about, dear. If anything, I should be the one to apologize to you and not the other way around. Anything and everything that concerns the wedding should of course go through you." Mother Song said in a really comforting tone with a warm glow exudinf from her. "I, your mother-in-law, will be here for you to help with it. That"s why I pushed on having you to choose your wedding gown because your wedding is in two weeks time."
With that, Mother Song sighed and placed a hand on her cheek in worry. Aside from the wedding gown, there are still other matters she needed to ask her daughter-in-law to decide with like the venue, the flowers, the food, and the guests.
October"s ears perked up and her heart almost leapt out of her chest as soon as she heard her mother-in-law"s words. Did she hear her wrong?
"Mother, can you please repeat what you just said?" October"s hands sweated on her lap and her heart was beating so fast in anxiousness.
"Hm? I said that you don"t have to worry about your wedding gown for now. We will find something more fitting for you."
October shook her head lightly and said in a really cautious and serious voice, "No mother. That last bit, you just said something about the wedding day...?"
"Oh. Your wedding is in two weeks time, my dear. That"s why I am hurrying it up because we still have a lot of things to do with this." Mother Song nonchalantly said as she asked Uncle Zhukong for another cup of tea.
"Mo-mother, isn"t it too soon for the wedding day? Also, there really is no need for this to hurry." October said urgently. Does Lexus know of this? If so, why didn"t he tell me about it, ah? Tch. I really have to talk to him about this things.
"Daughter-in-law, it is not at all too soon. Anyway, your grandfather and us have already decided on this and are slowly trying to come up with a list of guests to give them invitations. You do not have ti worry, we know that you wanted it to be low key and small, with only the family members to witness your union."
"What? Mother, does Lexus know of this?" October asked with a dark look.
"Yes, I told him about it." Mother Song replied with raised eyebrow. She did told him about this just awhile ago. However, she did not know that she just got her son into trouble because of her vague answer.
October"s lips twitched and she firmly decided to have a "good" talk with Lexus and give him a piece of her mind.
"Also, you are already pregnant so we took that into account, of course. Your pregnancy is still at the early stage so your body is still not showing any signs of changes. So while you are still slim, the wedding is this soon." Mother Song calmly and patiently explained to her daughter-in-law.
October guessed that there was already nothing for her to do about this than to agree with their arrangement. Also, their reasoning was also on point that there was nothing to argue about. Just that, she did not that her grandpa had a hand in this.
Sighing, October nodded her head in defeat, "Yes, I will do as what you have already arranged, mother."
"Good, good." Mother Song was satisfied at how obedient her daugter-in-law was. "So how was my son doing? Is he good at it? Hm?"
October blinked her eyes at this sudden question and looked at her mother-in-law blankly. She had no idea what her mother-in-law was talking about. She then gave a look at the maids and butlers around then and on Uncle Zhukong and noticed that all of them were looking away and seemed uncomfortable as their faces turned bright red.
Why are they blus.h.i.+ng?
"He is doing good, mother." October said in a very straightforward way and in a very calm voice. For her, Lexus is doing a great job in being such a wonderful and caring husband.
Hearing her say this in that kind of tone made Mother Song laugh out loud. Her laughter filled the room like bells ringing melodiously.
*Cough* Uncle Zhukong coughed dryly as he had a hard time keeping up with the boldness of his madam and young madam. However, it was not only him, but all of the butlers and maids present in the room who have heard their masters" conversation and had understood the underlying meaning behind her question. What caught them offguard, however, was their young madam"s bold answer.
"Is there something wrong with my answer, mother?" October asked. She was confused as to why her mother-in-law had just burst out laughing after her reply. Also, the other people in the room also seemed like they were uncomfortable. Why is that?
"No, dear, there is nothing wrong at all. Surely, my son is quite commendable and capable, isn"t he? With just that one try, he had already made you pregnant. Surely, my son is good in bed. Well, not that this is something to be proud of...still, I"m happy to have a grnadchild so everything is fine." Mother Song giggled as bright light gleamed from her crescent eyes.
"..." October felt likr her whole being turned to stone and her mind exploded into nothingness.
"Oh my..." Mother Song covered a hand over her luscious lips as she worriedly asked her daughter-in-law. "Child, are you okay? Is everything alright?"
