After finalizing their plan, Adrian went to meet up with Andrea. Hayden and Cj tagged along saying that they have to buy the things needed for the proposal later. They agreed to just call each other if they are finished.

Hayden drop the last case of beers into the compartment when Adrian arrived with a frown. "What's wrong?"

Cj drop their supplies before turning to his brother. "Drei broke the engagement," Adrian said with a stoic face.

"What?" Both he and Cj said. "What do you mean broke off?" Cj asked in confusion.

"There will be no wedding," Adrian said and went inside the car, leaving Hayden and Cj gaping at the spot he left.

The ride back was quiet and awkward. Hayden sigh. "I'll postpone the proposal."

"Don't," Adrian said as he place the car on park. "Despite of the bullshit that happened to me, I want to see my sister happy. My parents deserve a good news when I tell them about Drei pulling out of the wedding."

Hayden nod and help Cj unload the compartment. He noticed three additional cars in the driveway. He turn to Cj and asked. "Who's our guest?"

Cj glance at the cars his pointing. "Oh. They are here early."

"Who's here early?" Hayden asked as they enter the house.

"Papa's best buds," Adrian walk beside him. "This is going to be a loud night."

"You're in luck," Cj said, as they enter the kitchen.

"Why?"

"You have our godfathers as our audience," Cj smirked at him. "The more the merrier."

Hayden have a bad feeling with the way Cj smirked at him.

"Remind me again," Reinne said as she sent Claire a glare.

Claire sigh and drop the gardening shovel beside her. "You need to get out of that house. Get some fresh air and a lot of Vitamin D, I would prescribe you with a supplement but natural sunshine is advised. You don't want your child to have rickets when he or she's born, right?"

Reinne drop herself on the ground. "Rickets? Rickets like the bone disease rickets?"

Claire nod and continue to drop some seeds on the ground that she dug. "No!" Reinne exclaimed.

"So, shut up and continue digging," Reinne sigh and pluck out some weeds when a black Nike sneakers suddenly appeared right in front of her.

"I can get used to this position everyday."

Reinne look up to see her cousin sent her a smug look. Instead of hugging her, she threw the weed she plucked out directly at Marie.

"What the fuck?" Marie screamed when some soil attached on her white off shoulder.

Reinne threw again. "Don't curse. Where's Gabriel?"

"Inside with Mom," She shrug and glance at her. "What are you doing anyway?"
