Sitting around the table, Vincent let Rodney pour him drinks on his glass, which he drank at one go. "You got annoyed with those investors," Zaijan repeated what Tyler said earlier. "I told mom to invite just our relatives," Vincent groaned. "See what happened now?" He already perceived what could happen in a massive gathering like this one. He just wanted to spend time with all of his cousins and uncles close to their ages. Most of all, his father-in-law was here. Those business partners would…-

Hailey smiled awkwardly at Sol. Suddenly, she got nervous when the older lady gave her a confused look. Understandably, Sol is curious about what she wants to say. "I think Vincent and I should accept this interview," she stated after a short thought. "Really?" The older lady's eyes shine. Sol got excited to hear this. Finally, she could watch her daughter do an interview. She once wanted to be a journalist, and she is happy that her daughter, Jessa, became a host in a famous international Talk…

When Sol Lopez came back to the table, Vincent kissed Hailee on the lips before leaving with Tyler and Rodney. "Call me if you need anything." Vincent reminded Hailee one more time before he left with his two cousins. Tyler and Rodney could only shake their heads. Falling in love is such a scary thing, and it was what they were seeing. How Vincent behaves around Hailee or his actions even though he is only going nearby looks exaggerated in other people's eyes. But the people who understand this…

Hailee looked up at Vince. Their eyes meet and converse. Even though no words were coming out of their mouths, both understood what was on their mind. Both were thinking about the possibilities if they accepted the request to be interviewed by Jessa. They have to reveal the complicated start of their relationship. And these include the issues she has that start with Liam, which later on involves Bryan and Eva, which made them all connected, and they have no idea nor anticipated it. If Liam did not…

Vincent finally came back with two plates of assorted desserts after he had difficulties choosing, and it was worth his efforts when Hailey's eyes widened with delight. She quickly got a small fork and pinched a portion of cheesecake with blueberry jam on top. When the cheesecake melted in her tongue, Hailee sighed with satisfaction. She looks up to smile at Vince. "Thank you, hubby." "You're welcome. I asked a server to bring you bottled water," said Vince tenderly while putting a hand on…

"Hilda was afraid that love would destroy her. She thinks that marriage needs no love and be emotionally invested in each other because it will make someone go crazy... Like her older siblings." Sol went on. Hailee pressed her eyelids to push back the tears that threatened to escape her eyes. How sad is that? She thought with a heavy heart. A marriage without love and deep feelings for each other can compare to a lonely journey to an isolated road. She had just realized this.... Even if she and…

As the party continues… Several from the Lopez family performed different presentations as the highlight of the night. One can not deny that they are from super-talented families.

And at the moment, Vince's thirteen-year-old niece is playing the piano. Hailee, who just returned from the restroom, claps her hand loudly after the girl hits…

Hazel couldn't believe her ears. She looks at Hailee to confirm if her cousin isn't just joking with her or if this is a prank. But Hailee had a sweet smile on her lips. Besides, Hailee never jokes on them! "Hail… Did your cousin truly say I am beautiful?" She whispered, but enough to hear from the surrounding people. Of course. She was dying in anticipation at the moment. So, she thickened her face to ask this in front of everyone. And instead of Hailee to reply, it was Gigi, and Kelly…

Geoffrey made an abrupt turn. It surprised him when he bumped into someone. Fortunately, he had good reflexes; his arm unconsciously reached for the woman's body and stopped her fall. Looking into each other's eyes, both were blinking in surprise. "Vera?" "Geoffrey?" Geoffrey straightens up, pulling Vera up to stand properly. He then apologized afterward. "I'm sorry. I actually didn't look at the way." Vera smiled. She shook her head, then replied, "It's okay, and I'm not looking either."…

Loud applause greeted Hilda as she entered the hall with Frederick. She held her husband's arm, smiling and nodding at her family, in-laws, and guests. Frederick led her toward the stage. Hilda lifted her skirt, climbed the stairs carefully with her Jeremy Blocks gold yellow stiletto with genuine gemstone around it. Hilda stood in the middle of the stage, then delivered her speech, king everyone for coming tonight. And in her speech, it was specially mentioned by the Davies and Hillson family.…
