Terry's parents came to see Candy's parents. Roxanne and Eleonor had a lot in common having lost the man they loved and their children at a young age.

Nathan and Richard were able to reach an agreement in business. Terry could stay with Candy; he'll arrange a marriage between his son and Elizabeth Barrington. They had become inseparable without knowing it. Richard Jr is going to marry Elizabeth instead of Terry. He fell in love with her and that was part of his jealousy of his brother.

Annie had come with Patty charged with fashion magazine and bridal books on wedding dresses. She started to show them different models and how to modify them for Candy's belly.

- Annie said Roxanne, you're very gifted, did you ever think of working in Fashion?

- Yes, but I don't dare...

- Got for it! You're a born-designer and believe me I know what I'm talking about. You should talk to your parents...

- My mother will be against it. She says that the job of a woman is...

- To be pretty and to shut up? Completed Roxanne, we're in the 20th century, women are working, they have always worked... ideas have to change...

Annie remained silent. Already, her mother didn't really like Candy because she thought she was influencing her daughter. Now, Candy's mother was even more independent! Maybe she should throw herself in the water?

- Ok, I will talk about it to my parents

- Super! Said Candy, we are going to start by hiring you to plan our weddings, then Georgie's...

- Thank you, Candy, Roxanne said Annie, thank you for the chance you're giving me

So Annie was in charge in planning Candy's weddings and her parents. She will announce the news to her mother once the wedding is over.

Laurent was coming to see Georgie everyday. He came one night to get her to go to the restaurant.

- Just the two of us? She said

- Oh...

They went to a nice restaurant in the city, and they ordered diner. They talked of all and nothing and Laurent asked her news about her bothers.

- They write me regularly. Abel is getting married...

- You see how relief I am...

- Laurent, I chose you. We would have been together a long time ago, if your family had let us...

- I know honey, and my illness didn't make things easier

- Giving you up to save your life, was the most difficult thing I ever had to do. For me it's a miracle that we found each other again.

- You're telling me? I thought you were married, like you thought I was married...

The waiter brought them the dessert. The small plates were covered. Georgie took the cover off and saw a diamond ring... She opened her mouth, surprised.

- Georgie, honey, will you marry me?

She looked at Laurent and she saw that he was on one knee and waiting for her answer.

- Yes, Laurent, I will marry you she said smiling

Laurent smiled took the ring and put it on her finger. He stood up and took her in hi arms and kissed her on the lips. Everybody in the restaurant started to clap their hands.
