Five Lost Angels: My Husband's Fatal Deception novel Chapter 203

Although Bright’s mom made it clear that I wasn’t welcome in her home, we were happy to get her approval. Soon, we selected a date for our engagement, and started preparations. The news of our official relationship ran a jolt of happiness in our family.

Jane and Zoe were on cloud nine, painting the town red in glee. They shared this news in their class.

“Our mommy is marrying our daddy.”

Everyone was happy for us, congratulating us for our big day. Bright’s phone was also swarmed with calls and messages. He made a post on social media about his breakup with Sienna, then our engagement news garnered netizens attention.

They made wild guesses about our relationship, amusing us. Bright came to my villa for venue selection, and we read all the comments together.

“Bright and Laura were dating for months.”

“Mr. Bright was waiting for the end of ice hockey season to make his relationship public.”

“Miss. Laura’s kids call him daddy. They are already a family.”

“See, our couple is trending on the news.” Bright squeezed me into a hug and chuckled. “I waited for this moment for ages, Laura. Finally, your name is attached to mine.”

His unadulterated joy fluttered my heart, I was about to kiss him to express my glee when a stern voice responded to Bright. “Laura will not change her surname for you!”

We both flinched and saw Henry, acting as a shopping bag hanger of my kids. He was carrying Jane and Zoe along with their stuff. My brother took them shopping, as I was busy dealing with the event planner. He came back grumpy from all the running.

“You are marrying Laura, but it doesn’t mean that you can change her identity. She is Laura Green, my baby sister.”

Henry’s sharp tone brought a smile to my face, I could see that he was exhausted after a shopping spree. So, I offered him a drink as Bright joked,

“Laura, I didn’t know that your brother is also included in your dowry. I only signed up for our little angels.”

Henry scowled at Bright as we both laughed, and teased him, “Brother, you should marry now. I am eager to be an aunt.”

Her brother, Aaron, also wished us the best, “I thought that you will invite us to your wedding ceremony. This engagement was uncalled-for.”

Dressed in a luxury black suit, my dashing fiancé wrapped his arm around my waist and spoke softly,

“You are right, Aaron. If I hadn’t promised Laura a pre-wedding bash, then we would have gotten married directly. I just can’t wait to see her as Mrs. Bright Wilson.”

Bright’s charming smile, his nifty words of affection, and my little angels’ delight made this occasion memorable. I was in tears to feel the bounty of contentment and joy. Mrs. Wilson remained distant, unlike her husband, who blessed us warmly. But in the blissful moment, I was hopeful to win her heart soon. There was nothing which couldn’t be achieved through love.

In this celebratory event, we formally announced our marriage date after exchanging rings before our guests, signifying the marking of our commitment to each other. It was the beginning of our harmonious journey as an official couple.

Bright’s friend, Alex, proposed a toast for us and began the gift ritual. Everyone expressed their sincere sentiments to bless our union, showering us with their affection. We were meeting Bright’s ice hockey friends when a loud voice roared in the hall, trembling my heart in my chest.

“You can’t marry Bright, Laura. I love you!”
