Chapter 962:
“Today, I received news that the in vitro fertilization was successful.” Tears welled up in Alicia’s eyes as she said, “Caden, you’re going to be a father again.”noveldrama
Three months later, Caden admired the ultrasound image of his and Alicia’s child. His relentless research over the past few years had all been dedicated to protecting this tiny, newly formed life.
Although Caden received daily health updates from his team about Alicia, he still insisted on multiple hospital visits for thorough checks. Even on the eve of their wedding, he couldn’t tear his eyes away from the ultrasound images.
Alicia, wearing a facial mask, noticed his smile as he gazed at the images. She sighed. “We’re heading to the hotel early tomorrow. Aren’t you going to prepare anything?”
Caden tucked away the ultrasound images and pulled out his notes for the wedding vows, which were filled with clichéd expressions and standard vows. He frowned. “I think I’ll come up with something more heartfelt on the spot.”
Alicia seemed unconcerned. “Do whatever you want. Just make sure you don’t mix up the ultrasound photo with the wedding ring.”
Caden laughed, drawing Alicia close. “But our baby is cute, isn’t it? Looks just like you.”
Alicia replied, “It’s only three months along. You can’t really make out much.”
“I see it perfectly. My eyes are better than any machine.”
Alicia removed her facial mask and rubbed the serum into her hands before applying it to Caden’s face. “Let’s get some sleep.”
The long-awaited wedding was a lavish affair organized by Caden. He rented an entire island, sending invitations to every business in Warrington to ensure all important guests attended. He scheduled fireworks every night for two weeks, each display extravagantly expensive, costing hundreds of millions in total. For a smile from Alicia, Caden spared no expense, investing a fortune without hesitation.
After the wedding, Alicia was so worn out that she could barely stand, leaning on Caden for support. The massive diamond on her ring finger, as large as a pigeon’s egg, weighed her hand down as she admired it.
Caden held her gently. “What’s wrong? Don’t you like it?”
Alicia shook her head with playful sarcasm. “I love it. I’m just admiring my reflection in it.”
Caden laughed, loving her humor even in her exhaustion. “Why don’t you go home first? I’ll join you after saying goodbye to the guests.”
Alicia straightened her back. “No, it would be rude to leave early. I’m not that exhausted.”
Caden sighed. She always insisted on being thorough, even when tired. How had he been so fortunate to find such a gem in his life?
With their families handling the farewells, Caden and Alicia found a moment for themselves. He led her to the wide balcony.
Outside, the continuous burst of fireworks brought them both joy and serenity.
