"I was kinda ticked off at him. I hadn't spoken to him for a month, and then one afternoon, after class, there he was, waiting for me outside the building. When he saw me, he asked if I wanted him to 'take responsibility' that evening. I played it cool and said no. He got all serious and said it would be his 'first time.' I couldn't help it; I burst out laughing. 'What, you think being a virgin is something to be proud of?' I asked him. He just kept staring at me, and I couldn't take those puppy dog eyes anymore. I ran over, wrapped my arms around him, and kissed him right there in front of everyone. From that moment on, we were an item, and we've been together all these years. After he graduated, he took over the family business. There were plenty of gorgeous actresses in the company, and women throwing themselves at him left and right—some for his status, others for his looks. But he told me once he'd been tackled, it was for life. This year he's thirty, and I'm twenty-seven, and we're finally getting hitched!"
Magdalen's eyes sparkled as she looked at Estelle, "Eleven years we've known each other, never had eyes for anyone else. Like I told you, from the moment we met, I knew he was 'the one.'"
Estelle had known Magdalen since the days she was with Morrison, and over the years, she had witnessed the struggles and the deep bond between them. Now, hearing the story of how they met, she understood the playful love and affection they shared.
Perhaps, the way those women chased after Morrison, and how Magdalen would step in, was their own little understanding and source of amusement!
Touched, Estelle smiled warmly, "Entering marriage is just the start of another journey. Cherishing each other from beginning to end is the most beautiful fairy tale in love."
Magdalen reached out and took Estelle's hand, "We've witnessed each other's love stories, and now we'll witness each other's marriages and watch our children grow. I'll be waiting for you at the altar, and you and Jonathan better hurry up and catch up!"
Estelle laughed, "We will!"
Magdalen hugged her, "Ella, I love you. No matter what stage of life I'm in, you'll always be irreplaceable in my heart."
Estelle's eyes shone clear and bright, like stars in the night sky, "The feeling's mutual!"
Mrs. Sampson laughed, "Just don't let your insomnia rub off on Ella. She needs her beauty sleep!"
"Got it!" Magdalen said, pulling Estelle upstairs while playfully complaining, "You see, other moms get all teary and clingy when their daughters get married. Not mine. She's been grinning so much her teeth are practically sunburned. It's like she can't wait to get rid of me!"
Estelle chuckled, "Maybe in your mom's eyes, you've been married off for a while now!"
Magdalen pulled a face that was a cross between a laugh and a grimace.

Dear author Lucy, may we please have updates. Thank you....

May we please have updates. Thank you....
As the plot thicken. Adrian is done for and he can't try to control Norah, so he'd probably tattle to Janice who's gone for two weeks. Thank you soooo much for the updates....
These updates were too funny. Thank you so much for the updates....
I forgot to add Amy to the group of pregnant women,since she was the first. Emily and Sylvia better be careful since pregnancy is in the air....
Wow! This is great, both Estelle and Magdalen are pregnant at the same time and I hope that Xavier is Norah neighbor. Thank you for the updates....
