Wesley covered his face with one hand and took his granddaughter from Blair's arms with the other. "Don't tell anybody he's my kid anymore. Gifford's too stupid to be one of mine," he said in a quiet voice.
When his wife gave birth to their children back then, he didn't act like Gifford at all.
Gifford was a military commander with thousands of soldiers under him. Wesley couldn't help but wonder if he got his rank because of favoritism. They liked Wesley, so they gave special favors to his kid.
Blair pulled Gifford over and spat, "What do you think you're doing? Didn't the doctor say that Chantel's in the delivery room for observation? You can't get out of bed and walk as soon as you have a child. They'll let her go when she's ready."
Fortunately, Chantel was wheeled out of the delivery room at this moment. Seeing her wife, Gifford ran over excitedly, picked her up from the bed and kissed her again and again, ignoring everyone else around them.
'Awesome, she's here now. Thank God!'
The crowd couldn't help but cover their eyes. How could Gifford show off his love for his wife at the door to the delivery room? It was so inappropriate!
Chantel had not regained her strength yet. She blushed and whispered, "Let go of me. They're staring at us!"
After confirming she was fine, Gifford gently let Chantel lie down again.
Later, Wesley told Erica about it. As his sister, Erica knew the day his wife gave birth to their baby, Gifford cried like a fool and even threatened the doctor.
Gifford's second child was a girl. He held her in his arms excitedly, dancing around the room. Now the whole world knew Chantel had given birth to a daughter.
Their child was scarcely 100 days old when Gifford and Chantel finally held a wedding ceremony.
The wedding and reception were grand affairs, with music, food, dancing and alcohol. Not to mention tons of flowers. Just like he promised her. They didn't invite too many people. Except for Gifford's and Wesley's military friends, they only invited a few friends and family.
Before the start of the Lunar New Year, Sheffield officially took command of the Violet Eagles.
Since then, the three women—Chantel, Erica and Tessie—were no longer members of that organization. But they were still respected in the gang, and they told their former comrades in arms that they always had their backs.
After the Lunar New Year
It had been more than a year since Chantel had been the subject of tabloid gossip. The paparazzi caught her getting a hotel room with another guy. Since that time, she'd been proposed to, given birth to a daughter, and gotten married in an ostentatious celebration. What a year!
Chantel finally posted a status update on Weibo, which said, "Hi guys. This is actually Chantel Ye.
Today, I want to give a shout out to my fans who have been there for me since I first started. And I need to let you in on something.
I want to thank my parents-in-law and two sisters-in-law. Without them, I wouldn't have found my own happiness so soon.
Yes, I'm married.
We got our marriage certificates a few years ago, but we didn't actually get married then. He held a wonderful wedding for me a while ago.
My husband is a great guy. He's sometimes childish and sometimes mature. He is twelve years older than me. As a result, when we are together, he is always the one taking care of me and putting up with me.
He always tells me he wishes he met me years ago. He says if we met earlier, we'd have more time together.
He maintains that I fell in love with him first and he finally fell in love with me later. He wants me to be his one and only.
But I can't tell you who he is. He can't be in the limelight because of his job, and I respect that.
The reporters once reported that I got a hotel room with a man, and that was him. I was on a business trip, and he just happened to be there.
The reporters said I gave birth to a kid not long ago. That much is true. We have a son, born back when we got our marriage licenses. And we have a daughter, born a few months ago. I'm sorry that I haven't been on here as much as I want. I left it to the press to report on things, and I should have told you guys first.
He proposed to me, too. Got down on one knee.
That day, he gave me a large bouquet of pink roses and told me that he wanted to plan a wedding for me. He said it might not be too fancy, but he would try to make it first-rate and really something else.
So we had a wedding.
And he was right—it was awesome. We both chose a wedding dress together, and he chose the venue to hold the wedding and reception in. The place was full of my favorites, pink roses and perfume lilies, and the floor was covered with blue roses, meaning a lifetime of love.
He is not a very romantic person, he's pretty dumb when it comes to love. He won't say sweet words to me at all.
But he proposed to me on one knee in front of so many people heedless of who he was, and gave me a wedding I'll never forget. I'm happy.
Now I'm part of a fantastic family. I have a set of in-laws who are very good to me, a husband who loves me a lot, two great sisters-in-law, and a pair of cute kids.
I'm so happy!
