Chapter 36 - Wedding Preparations

"A friend?" Leon asked as he caressed Anika's hair.

"Yes, I met her earlier in the park," Anika responded softly, her little fingers drawing traces at Leon's chest. She was lying on top of the man as she recalled what had happened at the park a while back.

Leon's thoughts were deep. He was glad she made a friend, but he needed to make sure. People's thoughts are not always pure, so he needs to look into this woman Anika calls a 'friend'.

"Can I meet her again?" Anika raised her bright eyes to him, expectation cannot be denied.

Suddenly, Leon didn't have the heart to burst her bubbles, so he could only nod. Well, he could let her hang out while he investigates.

Anika's countenance brightened as she hugged Leon's neck.

Leon could only drop a kiss on her cheeks as his eyes deepened.

.................................................................

The next day, Anika watched as many people came taking in many pieces of stuff on their hands. She turned confusedly at Leon.

"Hubby?"

Leon smiled gently at her and caressed her hair.

"These people are here for our wedding. The preparations are ongoing," He explained lightly.

"Wedding?" Anika questioned once again as she looked around her.

"Didn't we already have a wedding?" She asked.

"Well, this time is different." Leon held her hand and pulled her close.

"I want to introduce you to many people. And show you my world.." Leon whispered closely.

'Show you to the world. My beautiful wife.'

Anika could only blink as she raised her head to look up at him.

His world?

Slowly, her heart started beating.

She likes that. She wanted to be part of his world for a long time. And he was willing to show her.

Anika's cheeks glowed a gentle blush, and she wrapped her arms on Leon's strong waist, her head cuddling on his chest.

"Thank you.." She whispered softly.

Leon felt a kick in his heart as he watched the woman's series of actions. He dropped a kiss on her forehead.

His baby. If only she knew she didn't need to say thank you because he was willing to give her everything. Even his life..

"Mr. and Mrs. Albrecht!" A jolly voice suddenly broke the atmosphere.

"Oops.." The designer stumbled a bit seeing the affectionate gestures of the two.

"Uhm, did I come at the wrong time?" She asked awkwardly.

The two couples had already let go of each other the moment they heard the designer's words.

Anika only innocently smiled at the designer, and Leon faked a cough.

"No, we can start now," Leon announced.

Seeing the important client not getting upset, the designer sighed a breath of relief.

"I'm Marie Jones, nice to meet you, Mrs. Albrecht," The woman stretched her hand out to Anika.

"I'm the designer of your gowns hired by Mr. Albrecht," She added.

Anika looked at her hand and softly shook hers. She smiled kindly at the woman.
