Chapter 626: The In-Laws
'You got me… Body, heart and soul… I am all yours…'
Kenzie bit her lower lip. Those words from Daryl were music to her ears and she could not help but whisper in a jest, "It's okay not to be perfect as long as you are all mine darling…"
The witnesses heard her, earning an enthusiastic chuckle from everyone for her words.
"Oh, kiss already!" Luo, who was cringing hearing their cheeky words, could not help herself but shout, making everyone cheer as well for the couple.
Jack, witnessing the beautiful smile on his daughter's face, let the dam of his tears break and drops of salty water crashed down on his cheeks, falling from his eyes.
"She's so happy Mark," he whispered to Butler Mark who was sitting beside him.
"Yes, indeed. They look good together and I know those two will have a wonderful and strong bond together ahead of them…"
Kenzie looked at the witnesses and murmured with a wink, "I will have to say my vow first and put the ring on my hubby before we can kiss."
Kenzie looked at Daryl intently then put the ring on his finger as she said, "Take this ring as a symbol of my love so don't you dare remove this from your finger no matter what. I will not promise you anything, but like you I will DO my very best to be the best that I can be as your wife. I love you Daryl Cha and I will take the rest of the days of my life showing you how much I love you."
Kenzie's face reddened as she bashfully added, "You got me… Body, heart and soul… I am all yours…"
The witnesses inside the church cheered in unison, "kiss already!!!"
The officiant scratched his head because of the impatient witnesses, leaving him no choice as he announced, "I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride…"
Kenzie looked at Daryl and was quite surprised when the latter suddenly pulled her for a kiss, wrapping his arms around her to hug her while kissing her deeply.
"Wow look at that sneaky man, covering the good view from us by hugging his bride like that!" Luo complained while she was too busy taking photos of her dearest friend.
She was just too happy that she was crying while taking varioust shots for Daryl and his bride. Daryl was a good man and she was heartbroken too when she turned him down before since then she was praying and hoping that the scar she left him would soon heal with the coming of a new love.
She heard about Kenzie's arrival from Jorge and how she was stalking Daryl. Since then she was rooting for Kenzie in the shadow, hoping she could mend and win Daryl's heart because not all women were brave enough to pursue the man they wanted so that alone had her vote and root for Kenzie for her buddy.
"Geez, I'm so happy for you," she murmured then she felt her husband's arm linking her waist as he pulled her close to her.
"Baby… Your hope for your friend finally comes true. Time flies so fast…" Noah whispered in her ear.
"Yeah, look at him being possessive for his bride that he did not even want us watching them kiss," Luo complained.
Noah laughed and kissed his wife's head while Luo was wiping her tears of great joy.
Kenzie was breathless when Daryl released her.
'That's too good,' she could not help but wonder silently how Daryl's kiss made her feel so warm and secure. His warm embrace, that he took her in, while gently kissing her gave an assurance of being someone special in his heart to her, making her feel so happy that she could not explain in words.
She felt Daryl's hand clasping hers. She looked at him and he said, "My father is dying to meet you."
He immediately pulled her to introduce to his father.
"Dad, Kenzie Chua. I'm sorry that I introduced you two very late…" Daryl commented.
Kenzie warmly hugged Daryl's father knowing about his bad eye condition.
"It's nice to meet you father. I have to introduce my father too. Sorry that everything happened so suddenly without the families meeting each other soon," Kenzie whispered.
"It's okay dear. It doesn't matter. We still have a lot of time knowing each other. Kenzie looked around and signaled butler Mark to bring his father so she could introduce her father to Daryl's father.
When Kenzie's father approached them, Daryl immediately introduced his father who extended his hand for a handshake that Jack warmly took.
"Finally, we meet each other. I am so happy that these two granted my request even though we rushed things up a little… I really apologize for this," Kenzie's father told Senior Cha who shook his head and reassured, "Oh, it's really okay as long as both our children are happy together. I can't wait to have Kenzie shifted in our house."
Kenzie gulped and looked at Daryl with confused eyes. Daryl gulped and commented, "Dad, you have to wait. I told you Kenzie will be very busy especially now that her father will go to surgery."
"Oh, please pardon this excited old man. Of course, Kenzie should attend to her father first and we can wait for her once everything is settled on her side. Or maybe you guys can stay alternately every week or every month on both sides," Senior Cha said with an apologetic smile.
Senior Jack Chua chuckled and excitedly said, "Don't worry Senior Cha. These two will stay with you too as much as they could. I won't let my daughter bore herself in looking after me in the hospital. You see… I prefer these two working hard in giving us a grandchild soon while I recuperate from the surgery."
Kenzie signaled her father to stop, feeling so embarrassed but Daryl's father was so in for that statement and seconded his in-law about the grandchild thing. The in-laws easily got comfortable with each other because of the grandchild topic.
Soon the wedding planner called everyone for a photo shoot of the groom and bride. Kenzie enjoyed it so much that she made a lot of poses, formal and wacky with Daryl.
Then later they called for the family and friends to join the newly wed couple for a quick pictorial in the church before everyone was advised to head directly at Chua Mansion for a small dinner celebration prepared by Kenzie's father.
