JEALOUS MEN SERIES 1: Zues Mattheos Howard

Chapter 24

CANDLE SHIELD was surprise by her parents with a bridal shower. "Apo, congratulations apo. Masaya ako para sa iyo." Ani ng lola niya.

"Thanks grandma."

"Thankfully nakauwi kaagad ako kahapon. This soon to be your husband kasi late na akong sinabihan, na akala mo naman babyahe lang ako mula manila hanggang cebu." Dagdag pa nito habang nakatingin kay Zues.

"I'm sorry Grandma, I really thought your still in here." Hinging umanhin ng binata. His hand were on her waist.

"Oh, well. That's partly my fault. I never told anyone that about my vacation." She laugh with elegance. "Anyway, about your pregnancy. Your oh-so-good-for-nothing father just told me now that it's a twins. That Idiot is on social media." She said rolling her eyes.

Natawa siya.

"I really don't believe when you told me you're pregnant last time. I had to see it with my own two eyes. And, oh. My Shield is still pretty like me when I was pregnant with your Dad." Binuntunan nito iyon ng tawa. Her grandma gave her a tight hug and a kiss on her cheeks. Expressing how the old woman really misses her granddaughter.

Of course after the greetings and during the bridal shower, their wedding was already set. From her wedding gowns, reception, date and things, even the people needed in their wedding. All of them were excited and supporting them. All of them wanting to help. It's a good thing, so she won't have to stress herself, although her opinions were needed.

On the second day, is her pregnancy photoshoot. She was very glad and happy. Specially on the part, when she found out that a Goddess of Greeks is the theme. Though Zues was very against to it since some of her costumes are revealing. Not that it's really revealing, it's just that her baby bump need to show. Because it's pregnancy photoshoot after all. He is just being over acting.

Of course the day won't end without a celebration. Everybody are enjoying the party. Except Zues with his grumpy face. And of course again, his friends won't let it slide. They made him a laughing stock, making Zues irritated.

"You aren't happy?" Tanong niya ng inalalayan siya nitong humiga na sa kama. He is still sulking.

He didn't answer. She giggled. Natatawa siya kung paano ito ka-over acting. "C'mon it's just my tummy."

"Still." His face were stoic.

She giggled again. "But I'm happy today, aren't you supporting my happiness? Can't you be happy for me?" She pouted.

With that, his face soften. "Okay fine, I'm not mad anymore. Just please, don't reveal to much skin anymore."

"Oookay." She tease him.

"Candle Shield." Here comes his warning tone.

"Yes daddy?" She said using a small voice, with puppy eyes and a pouting lips.

Finally, Zues chuckled. " I can't really win against you. Your a devil after all."

"Yes, I am." She proudly said.

"Aren't you going to deny it?" Tanong nito saka humiga sa tabi niya at inayos ang kumot nila saka siya pinaunan sa braso nito.

Umiling siya. "I won't. I'm just being hamble."

Mahinang tumawa ang binata. "That makes you more beautiful."

"Uh-huh. Anyways, I remember when you cried that day when suddenly confess your feelings to me. You said there is another video."

Tumikhim ito. "Not really bad videos. That was my bad. I thought another fake videos came out but it turns out that it was you being an amazona towards that woman."
