Judas kiss novel Chapter 83

Six months into the pregnancy.

"I'm glad you decided to stay for two more weeks. It gets really lonely out here knowing Luc, he is never home." Ben said as he took a sip of his green tea.

"Papa but I'm here!" Luc have his father a questioning look feeling offended.

"It's alright, I like it here so does Leo.. I just hope we return home in time to set up things for the twins.." Della replied.

"Goodness! Here I was thinking I would never have grandchildren. I'm truly so happy at this point, I don't mind dying. Well after the twins are born.."

"Grandpa!" Leo said with disapproval.

"He won't die, he just loves joking around.." Luc added but Leo was still concerned. He had spent so much time with Ben. He had learnt a lot of French phrases but pronunciation was still a big factor sometimes it even hurt to speak. Leo loved the new environment. At one point it had just been him and his mother but now he had two grandpa's, a grandmother, an uncle, a father.. Lyle. Leo just felt like he finally had the family that he yearned for. It wasn't anywhere close to normal but he loved it.

Della and Andre could see how happy he was whenever he was around Ben and Luc. Andre and Della had been in such a honeymoon phase. Della was actually enjoying her pregnancy. It was so relaxed and she got pampered constantly. Ben would cook for her some healthy meals that he claimed he also cooked for Jeanine when she was pregnant. She loved the fact that it seemed every single male in the Levetté was a good cook. It was just in them.

Andre had taken her sight seeing, he had been the perfect gentleman. They went to Paris for the weekend where, he pampered her with so much love and affection. She even had the liberty of seeing their family photo album and looking at little Andre. He looked like a replica of Leo. All in a all Andre had been nothing but a sweetheart. They got to spend time just the two of them as if Leo wasn't even there. She got time to think about where she stood with Andre. She loved him and there was absolutely no need for her to put this distant.

Maybe it was the way other women looked at him. He didn't have a ring on his finger, he looked absolutely single and ready to mingle. That bothered her, she then realized that is the very same insecurity that Andre was having. She also wanted people to know that he was taken, he was absolutely off the market.

Everyday he proved to her that he was now better. That he was molding himself to be the best partner and father he could be. It was in the way that he looked at her or when she was sleeping in his arms and she could hear his fast paced heartbeat. Fast paced because he claimed that he felt uneasy around her, it wasn't something that would change. It was the same excitement that made him look at her like a dime.

They got married.

In Lyon France, with Ben and Luc as witnesses. It was nothing big or planned. They were having lunch in a small elegant French restaurant when, Ben asked them about their future plans. Della immediately out of impulse said she wanted to get married but she didn't want anything big at all. She just wanted a small ceremonial declaration of love. This was music to Andre's ears. Andre didn't have a ring but Della already had one. Ben gave his son, his golden marital ring that he wore even after being divorced for some reason. He had gotten accustomed to just wearing it. Unfortunately they couldn't get married that very same day because it just wasn't that easy so Andre could give his father, his ring back. Ben immediately told Andre to keep it. The ring was given to Ben by his mother who kept it even after his father had died. Ben made it clear that he could have it made out the way he wanted it. Hopefully, he could one day give it to Leo.

He told his son that it would be a new beginning for him and his family. It would also be a new beginning for Ben moving on from his very toxic marriage. Andre tried to convince his father that Jeanine had changed but he solemnly admitted that he had fallen out of love with her and felt much better where he was. Without her. He treasured their moments together but he just didn't see himself reuniting with her.

There was a lot of paper work to be done.

To elope they needed, Della needed Proof of residency in France for at least 30 days. They needed both their valid passports but it wasn't really a need for Andre as he was a citizen. A lot of the things that held them back were because Della was a foreign national in France. Andre had to work fast fearing that Della might change her mind. He informed his personal assistant to get him a Divorce decree, if you happened to be previously married previously and divorced.

Before everything had been finalized within the next six hours. Della asked for one thing and that was the—

Prenuptial agreement, with a notary's certificate.

Andre was against it and said he trusted her but Della was dead set on getting it. She didn't want at some later point to be accused of things she didn't do. If she had gotten a prenup during their first wedding. She presumed things would have been much easier and less complicated.

They got married in front of a judge. Della wore a chiffon white dress and had simple make up on, didn't waste time wearing his wedding suit. That he had worn at the yacht party as well. He felt like it was his lucky suit, good things happened whenever he was in it. Thanks to Norah who had it dry cleaned and shipped in time.

"I'm happy, beyond happy." Andre said his vows. "Happy that I get to be with the only person who has ever made me a better man. Happy that I get to wake up to seeing your beautiful face in the morning. Absolutely happy that I get to call you my wife... again. Thank you for giving me a second chance. I promise that I will work hard to be a husband you can be proud of and a father my kids can be proud of as well."

Della blinked a few tears away.
