Daryl unintentionally licked his lips. He was getting a hard-on just hearing Kenzie's teasing words so he ended up cursing inwardly as he tried to compose himself and brush off the dirty thoughts playing in his head.

  He stared at Kenzie's back. As soon as they arrived at Chua mansion after the church ceremony, she went to her room so that she could freshen up after the tiring ceremony.

  She had changed into a more comfortable casual white dress, which made her look even sexier than she usually is to his eyes that he could not wait to devour his wife. Yes, since he had their marriage registered so technically she was now his legal wife!

  A while ago, he did not know what possessed him, but his on-the-spot vow which he recited came from his heart and he meant every word of it. He had wanted to tell her everything long back, but somehow he would end up struggling to say the words out of his mouth.

  Kenzie really had all of him… Body, soul, and heart! He just realized it when he said those words while looking into Kenzie's eyes.

  He heaved a deep sigh and shook his head in amusement as he followed Kenzie to the garden to mingle with the rest of their guests.

  Kenzie looked at her father and said, "Dad, you need to return to the hospital now. Remember to focus on the surgery and your recovery. I will visit you tomorrow with Daryl," Kenzie said and signaled Butler Mark to prepare the car.

  She hugged her father and whispered, "Thank you so much for this dad."

  "If you're really grateful then hurry up and give me a grandchild!"

  Kenzie chuckled and blushed as she scolded, "Stop it already dad. You're pressuring Daryl by saying it every now and then."

  Jack looked at Daryl beside Kenzie and asked, "Do you feel pressured?"

  Daryl scratched his head and answered, "Not at all father."

  "See? He's not pressured at all! You should dismiss all the guests early so that you guys have enough time later…" Jack teased more and Kenzie crumpled her face signaling her father to stop his antics and get inside the car.

  As soon as the couple returned, Daryl's friends made a fuss and pulled Kenzie for a drink.

  Kenzie could not help but look at Luo once in a while as she drank. She did not realize that she was drinking a lot until Sarah stopped her.

  "Hey, are you planning to get drunk on your wedding night?" Sarah scolded, seeing how red Kenzie's cheeks were. She was drinking nonstop while having great conversations with Lana, Kimmy, and Luo.

  "Just one more glass…" Kenzie complained. She was feeling insecure after spending a great time with Luo. She could understand why Daryl loved her because she was someone you could easily fall in love with.

  Kenzie knew that Daryl had started to like her or he might even be falling in love with her based on his actions alone but she wanted him to confirm it with his words as well. But that damned bastard was hell-bent on denying it!

  She recalled Daryl's vow a while ago and smiled. It sounded so genuine. How she hoped it was for real……

  "You should stop drinking dear otherwise you will pass out in the bedroom later," Luo whispered, grabbing the bottle of vodka from Kenzie. She looked at Lana and said, "We preggies should leave already."

  Then she looked at Sarah and added, "The rest of the guests should leave as well since it's already very late"

  Then Luo looked at Kenzie and murmured, "You should dominate the night and take what you want."

  Kenzie's face reddened. She had no experience in it at all. Besides, she did not even know if her marriage was real or not so… But did it matter to her? NO! Because she would seize every opportunity she has to make Daryl fall for her.

  She smiled at Luo and shouted, "Nothing matters! I will make Daryl feel like the best man ever tonight!"

  Luo and the others started laughing when they saw her high spirit and enthusiasm. Her voice was so loud that even the men on another table who heard Kenzie teased Daryl nonstop.

  As she had said earlier, Luo quickly urged the rest of the guests to depart the mansion leaving Kenzie and Daryl alone. The couple walked them to their cars and Kenzie grabbed Daryl's arm and hugged it as she waved to everyone.

  Daryl was already having sweat drops on his forehead anticipating what could happen afterward. He felt Kenzie's head on his shoulder so he asked, "Are you alright?"

  "Yeah, just a bit dizzy. I guess I drank a lot… Luo is very pretty and has a good character, no wonder you love her…" she voiced out solemnly.

  Daryl creased his forehead and replied, "Yeah but all that is in the past already. We are very good friends now and I'm happy with how her life turned out. I mean yes, I loved her before but I'm content with how everything is right now."

  He heard Kenzie chuckle and reconfirm, "L-O-V-E-D right? It's in the past tense, ending with D?"

  She moved to face him. She tilted her head to stare at his expression.

  Daryl gulped, his eyes moving to Kenzie's parted lips then back to her eyes as he confirmed, "Yes past tense, ending with D."

  He felt Kenzie's palms on his cheeks cupping it as she leaned closer and whispered, "Because I will be your present and future right?"

  "Yes…" Daryl whispered, making Kenzie's lips curve into a beautiful smile.

  "I love you, Daryl Cha," she said as she lovingly gazed at him. Daryl could no longer take it.

  The heat building up in his body along with the urge to kiss Kenzie when her warm breath fanned his lips made him snap. Instead of answering Kenzie back, his lips hungrily captured her inviting mouth, passionately dwelling in her sweetness.

  Kenzie wrapped her arms around her neck. She felt Daryl lift her up so she instinctively wrapped her legs on his waist. Their lips were glued together as Daryl slowly walked back inside the mansion, to Kenzie's bedroom. None dared to let go of each other's lips along the way. They did not even bother about the stares and whispers of the servants who saw them passing by.

  Kenzie was feeling dizzier so she scolded herself for not listening to Sarah stop getting drunk. She broke free from the kiss and whispered, "I can't breathe darling…"

  Daryl got worried so he said, "I'm sorry. I forgot that you drank too much…"

  Kenzie buried her face on his neck, breathing his scent as she whispered, "If I pass out soon I will definitely make it up to you ten folds the moment I wake up."
