What was to be a honeymoon trip for Alice and Kennedy turned into a gift for Yanis and Zain.
In fact, Kennedy had previously planned to attach a honeymoon trip to the wedding, but at the time Alice was pregnant and didn’t want to wear a wedding dress, so the make-up wedding was postponed.
Now Kennedy took up the matter again, but Alice refused. She didn’t want to wear a wedding dress because she felt out of shape after having a new baby; after all, there are only so many times a woman can wear a wedding dress in her life.
But Kennedy looked at Alice with a complicated look, and Alice wondered:
-What’s the matter with you?
-You’re afraid to wear a wedding dress, aren’t you?
This statement made Alice shudder, not realizing that what was on her mind had been guessed by Kennedy.
Still, she took a deep breath to hide her inner self and said, slightly disgruntled.
-Yes, I haven’t regained the slender figure I had before, what if the people coming to our wedding make fun of me?
-Then we could have a wedding without guests. A wedding with just you and me.
Kennedy looked at his wife seriously. He was stubborn and wanted to put Alice’s wedding dress on himself.
Alice saw his determined look and became even more nervous. Since Kennedy had been right in those words, she thought back to their first two weddings.
The first time Kennedy had been in a wheelchair and had not looked closely at Alice; the second time Kennedy had been in an accident and had not been present at the wedding, he had been alone and surrounded by the reporters present.
It was as if their wedding could not be blessed by God. So Alice felt that she didn’t care about the wedding as long as she could go on living happily. To her, the wedding was just a ceremony, so Alice shook her head gently:
-I don’t mind the wedding as long as I can be with you.
She didn’t want separation to come between them again, she was afraid of losing the happy life she had now. Just the thought of the image of Kennedy falling into the sea now made her feel breathless, a pain she could not bear.
Sensing the change in Alice’s mood, Kennedy sighed, took her in her arms and said calmly:
-It’s all right.
Kennedy wanted to make up for Alice’s big wedding, put on the wedding dress himself and exchange rings with her. Since Alice didn’t care about that, Kennedy was willing to give up the idea.

Yanis packed her luggage for the long journey and was ready to leave.
Two minutes earlier Zain had called her to tell her he was coming to pick her up and Yanis was nervous when he ended the call. She takes out her suitcase and prepares to leave the house, but is stopped by Brisa:
-You just got off the phone and it will take at least twenty minutes to get to our house, why are you in such a hurry to leave?
Yanis was so nervous that she could not finish her sentence, but Brisa did not understand any of her explanations. Seeing her daughter’s nervousness, she couldn’t help but poke her forehead with her finger:
-You should be more confident.
Yanis rubbed her forehead, bit her lower lip and said contritely:
-I am confident enough.
-How are you going to control your man when you’re married if something like going on a trip can make you so nervous?
Yanis’ eyes widened in surprise: her mother was asking her to control Zain after marriage, how was that possible?
-What’s the matter, haven’t you ever thought about that?
Yanis unconsciously shook his head.
-I can’t believe you haven’t even thought about it…. If you don’t control him, what will you do if he cheats on you later?
Brisa was the authority in the house for Mateo, so she wanted her daughter to do the same. But Yanis replied angrily:
-Zain is not that kind of person! Stop talking nonsense, mom, it’s a personal matter of mine and I’ll take care of it.
-Silly daughter, you’ll see for yourself. You are very shy now and you could have problems when you get married.
Brisa hoped that Zain after marriage would have the same personality as Zain now. Because too many guys in today’s society turn out to be good at disguising their personality before marriage, and when they get married, they reveal their true personality.
But Zain didn’t seem like that kind of guy, and Yanis couldn’t marry Zain either.
-I don’t give a damn.
-Well, then I leave your business to God.
Brisa didn’t expect her daughter to end up with a young president like Zain either. It was like Cinderella marrying a prince. Brisa had even looked into Zain’s family situation, and he had no parents, so even if Yanis married him, he would not be given a hard time by his bad mother-in-law.
Soon Zain’s car arrived at his front door and Yanis rushed out with his suitcase, as if he was afraid that Brisa would come down to talk to Zain, so as soon as he got into the car Yanis hurriedly urged the driver to drive.
The driver thought it was strange, but did as she told him.
Zain saw that Yanis looked nervous and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead.
-Why are you in such a hurry?
Yanis remembered what Brisa had just told him and smiled:
-Nothing.
With that, Yanis looked away. He was afraid that Zain would find out about this, that, if Zain knew that Yanis and his mother had been discussing marriage, he might think Yanis was a gold-digging woman.
Upon arriving at the airport, Yanis and Zain were greeted by the staff. When the receptionist saw Zain and Yanis, she thought the two were a perfect couple, like Romeo and Juliet, and flattered them by saying:
-Mr. Zain, you and your wife are very much in love.
Normally, newly married couples like to hear such words, so it was natural for the staff to say such things. But Yanis, who was standing next to Zain, heard these words and his face turned red from shyness. She looked at the receptionist and asked, somewhat uncertainly:
-Wife?
-Yes, madame. You have booked a honeymoon service for newlyweds, do you have a problem,” the receptionist asked suspiciously.
Not knowing what to say, Yanis looked at Zain and asked in a whisper:
-Do we have to explain this to him?
Zain said nothing, carrying the suitcases of the two, and got into the shuttle car arranged by the hotel.
At that moment, two familiar figures appeared in front of them, it was Kennedy and Alice.
