Most were shocked by the revelation. Some that attended Matriach Lu's funeral were not so astonished to the news.
They returned to the manor close to 6 pm and she was ushered to his room. On the bed was a beautiful navy blue gown with multiple bright and dazzling stones. There was a stylist attending to her hair and make up. There was a knocked on the door, looking up to the person striding in full confidence was none other than Derek. He looked dashingly handsome, she could not help but stare at him in a daze, such sharp features all to die for. He extended his arm to her and she took it. "We are attending some dinner function?" she whispered. "Nope. Why are you whispering?" "Oh.. ha.. you took my breath away."
He led her to the garden where the dinner will be at, she was mesmerized with the settings, a white grand piano stood in the middle, surrounded by hundreds of potted wild orchids, and fairy light were wound around the trees and branches creating a very romantic atmosphere. He tucked her into the seat across him and clapped his hand as a signal to serve the food. The table was decorated minimally, a scented orchid candle in the middle and small vase of flower with a few branches of beautiful wild orchids nicely arranged.
Her heart was thumping wildly, she could not help but feel excited, touched and impressed with the efforts he had put in. No wonder Master Lee made a record in history today, he left the house for the sake of allowing his son to make the preparations. Their actions today including her in their family discussion showed how much they appreciated her and had already accepted her as one of them. The only person that had accepted her was Mama Lu and it was because of Mama Lu, she now will have her own family and does not need to long for the love from her parents no more. She has experience love from a father through Master Lee and she is contented. It will be hard to leave him tomorrow but she vow to come and visit him often. She could see the same loneliness that shrouded Mama Lu in him.
Derek was pleased as he can see happiness radiating out of Jade. From a far, they were observed by two pairs of teary eyes, it was Master Lee and Steven, both felt like their baby had all grown up. "This brat, really not bad. He has my gene after all. He actually has a romantic bone in him." "I think you meant to say, he had Madam romantic bone, to be honest sir, you sir, excel in many things but a little lacking in that department, but madam had influenced you well over the years." Master Lee chuckled at Steven's words and nodded in agreement. Yu Ling, I really miss you. Tonight our son is taking a step closer to the woman he loves. She has excellent morals like the one you possessed, maybe that is why I warmed up to her real fast. Did you send her for our son?. He wondered to himself.
Jade was trying her best to not gobble up her food because it was truly delicious. The portion was big enough despite the fact they were dining fine cuisine. Derek had informed the chef earlier that his wife loves eating and would not be satisfied with small portion. He chuckled when he saw how much self control she exert to not appear as a glutton. "Eat my love, don't hold back. You usually don't hold back, why the shyness today?" "Mm, msmdnhd" she tried speaking with her mouth full, realising he could not understand her because he was shaking his head and she could see the laughter in his eyes, she quickly swallowed her food and spoke again, "Everything is so elegant, and I subconsciously felt I need to be elegant as well, plus I'm ashamed that you pose more elegance than me." She sticked her tongue out after her last sentence, then she pouted.
He reached out and caressed her face and brushed his thumb across those sexy lips he loves to conquer and kiss. His every moves, sent tiny electrical signal throughout her body and she could not help but feel hot in the supposedly cold and chilly weather. Only he has this kind of effect on her. "No pouting alright, not when I'm here to take away all your worries and problems." he said with such gentle voice that set fire to her heart.
After her favourite dessert, crème brulé, he led her to the center of the garden and danced to the song by Edwin McCain, I'll Be. He sang gently into her ears as they dance to the song. At the end of the dance, "Let me be the greatest fan of your life, Jade." He knelt on his left knee, like a valiant knight, he took out the box from his breast pocket, in the box, was one of the most beautiful ring she had ever seen. It was definitely something she would have chosen, simple yet sophisticated. "I love you so much that I can't imagine another second without you in my life, will you marry me? I promised you to love you for the rest of life and there will never be another woman in my life and heart except if you give me beautiful daughters in the near future, even then I still promise that you'll always be my number one. Marry me, wifey?"
Jade was expecting this but this was just too much for her heart to take that she burst out crying tears of joy. She couldn't believe that today is actually happening, someone who have no relation to her whatsoever actually accepted her and wanted her. Mama, I know you are looking from up there, protecting me. Thank you, you send him in your stead to keep the light in my world stay bright and dazzling. Derek heart skipped a beat when he did not get any response from her. His palms were sweating profusely and the expectant light is his eyes dimmed and replaced by anxiety. Sensing the change of his mood, she quickly nod her head to dispel all the doubts in his heart. "Yes, yes, yes. I do. You came into my world at the right time and I am forever thankful for your presence in my darkest hour. I love you Derek Lee, you thief. You stole my heart without my permission but I would still gladly give it to you if you ask for it because my heart has long recognised you as it's owner even before my brain was able to process that information." Derek chuckled with delight at her truthful response, unique to her with Asperger's. He stood up and slide in the ring into her finger. He then slid his ring into his finger.
"We are now officially a pair and you can not back out anymore. You're mine." he whispered into her ear and teased it by licking it and lightly suck on it. She blushed and replied, "Derek Lee, you are mine too, your heart, your body, it all belongs to me now, cheat on me, I'll show you there is no medicine for regrets." She said devilishly. "My love, you are right, all of this, is all yours, you can take me tonight if you want" he gesture to his whole being and gave her a seductive smile enough to melt her into a puddle of water.
He led her to take a seat, clapped his hand once more, a guy appeared at the piano and started playing a tune. Derek took a microphone and started singing.
When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love
When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
Oh, I hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love
I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I will never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong
I'd go hungry; I'd go black and blue
And I'd go crawling down the avenue
No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love
The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet
I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of this Earth for you
To make you feel my love, oh yes
To make you feel my love
He took her hand, put it to his lips, gestured her to stand up and twirl her around. "This is my promise to you. I will do whatever it takes, to make you feel my love, Jade, my wild orchid, exotic, graceful and delicate because you represent love, luxury, beauty and strength." He took her into his embrace and kiss her on her lips.
