Chapter 353

“Thank you, daddy!” I cheered, jumping up and down, I had finally heard the news I had been waiting for.
The Garcias agreed to our proposal. I would marry the love of my life, and I would become his wife.
“I know, muffin.” Dad smiled proudly. “When has dad ever let you down?”
“Never?”
“That’s right, never!” He pulled me closer while mom stood behind with a sour expression on her face. She was not fond of the idea of having Vincenzo Garcia as her son-in-law, but I luckily managed to persuade her with some good arguments.
If we could turn the Garcia name around, all families would be impressed with us.
“Aria, you barely even know this guy,” Mom spoke, unamused. “I told you Cesca and Lita have sons-
“I’m going to marry Vince, mom.” I made it clear. “And nothing you’ll ever say or do will change how I feel about him.”
You heard her, sweetheart.” Dad shrugged at mom. “So I’m thinking we should announce your engagement at your birthday party-to get the news out there.”“”
“I agree!” I nodded enthusiastically. The more, the merrier.
Having the opportunity to marry someone as handsome and kind as Vince was indeed something to brag about.
I heard nothing but amazing things about his personality. Others described him as strong, handsome, kind, determined, and respectful, especially towards women. My future husband was perfect.
“Do you want me to hire someone for the preparations? Dad suggested.
“For what, the birthday or the wedding?” Mom asked, trying to sound uninterested.
“Both.”
“I’m her mother, so I’ll do it.” She brushed her hair to the side. I was her only daughter, and she loved attention, so it was only fair for her to prepare the wedding.
“Now that it’s my engagement party as well, I need to buy a hot dress!” I came to the realization. “So I was thinking, V-line, sparkling and short?” I posed, pouting my lips. “Short enough for Vince to get a nosebleed?”
“Look at my baby, all grown up!” Dad gushed, pinching my cheeks. “No man could ever deny her charms or beauty. That’s why the Garcias have instantly agreed to it!”
“I wonder where she got it from.” Morn gave us a one-sided shoulder shrug, making dad let go of my
cheeks.
“From you, of course.” He opened his arms, pulling her into a hug. I cringed as mom stood on her tippy toes and kissed his nose.
“Okay, first of all-bleh I pulled a disgusted look. Tothermore, I need Viner’s number
what color to wear. I want in to manch
“Of course, muffin. I’ll text you his number. My dad mely
for you, my love-for you, I’ve got
ent play
“Grost” 1 gagged as a high-pitched giggle released from between mon’s lips. Even after all these years, they were still very much in love and behaved like newlywell
It would be the same for Vince and me I were of it
“Anyway, I’ll be out to find my perfect dress for the announcement” I excused myself before heading downstairs
No matter how many times I would repeat it in my head. It will seemed unreal. I was actually geming married to the man I wanted to be with. With a broad smile. I grabbed my phone to text the only friend had made until now. Stella
