Although I knew that so guys didn’t like planning weddings or planning anything for that matter, he should have paid more attention to what I was saying. This wasn’t just my wedding it was our wedding.
The pressure from the fact that the wedding was only around a week’s ti away made
stressed out enough already without the need to add on more frustration from the fact that I had to deal with Hayden as well.
The worst part was that he didn’t seem to care and that hurt
more than anything. I sat down on the sofa and closed my eyes as I concentrated on breathing in deeply and slowly. Although I tried to control my thoughts, I couldn’t stop it from wandering to the two conditions that Hayden had presented to the boss.
He was clearly buying ti, and I couldn’t help thinking that perhaps everything that he was doing, he was just doing it to buy so more ti. Everything including our upcoming wedding. What if he’s just marrying
to buy so more ti?
That shouldn’t be the case, but I just couldn’t erase that unsightly thought from my mind. I wallowed in my dark thoughts for a while until a knocking sound at the door snapped
out of my thoughts.
"Co in," I called out just loud enough for the person on the other side to hear.
Since the visitor had bothered to knock, I knew that it wasn’t Hayden. Slowly, the door opened, and Auntie poked her head in with a caring smile on face before my attention shifted to the very fat and large dog in her arm.
"Little Hayden!" I cried out in delight as I got up from the sofa and quickly made my way to where Auntie was standing.
Little Hayden had gotten quite chubby, and he had grown much bigger. I started to worry if he would get too big and I hoped that he would reach his mature state soon so that he could stop growing any larger. Little Hayden was visibly glad to see
and that ward my heart.
I missed him so much too and with the things that had been going on, I had to admit regretfully that I had been neglecting him too much. His fat belly told
that he had stayed very well fed and his cheerful attitude told
that he was enjoying life.
"Co here…" I said sweetly as I took the chubby dog from Auntie’s arms.
He gained weight again and I could feel it when I carried him in my arms. It was amazing how Auntie could still carry him given how much he’d grown. I headed to the sofa after inviting Auntie inside. She followed
to the sofa before we both took a seat. Little Hayden lay on the sofa on his belly with his head leaning against my lap. I stroked his head and he relaxed under my touch.
He’s so adorable. Just feeling his soft fur against the tips of my fingers was enough to cheer
up sowhat.
"Hayden…umm…told
that you were stressed out about wedding preparations. Oh, big congratulations! I can’t wait for you two to get married! I knew that this day would co…although I hoped that it would have arrived sooner," Auntie said followed by a little laugh.
So…Hayden sent Auntie after ?
"A little. As you already know, we don’t have that much ti before the wedding, and we haven’t done anything yet. Hayden is also…disinterested, I guess?" I said as I struggled to find the right word.
"Well, so n are not big fans of preparing events. I’m sure that Hayden would be happy with whatever that you decide on. Also, you don’t have to worry about the expenses, he’ll gladly cover it," Auntie said with an encouraging smile.
I wasn’t worried about the money. I had more than enough cash from the boss already.
"I guess…" I replied vaguely as my spirit took a deep dive back down.
"I know that it could be very overwhelming so let
know if there’s anything that I can help out with. If you didn’t have the set up from the wedding before, here is the contact of the organizer. I’m sure that she can help you out given the ti constraints," Auntie said as she took out a business card and handed it to .
"Thank you, I’ll contact her," I replied before smiling at her.
"Right. You should do that. Have you thought about your wedding dress?" Auntie asked and I could tell that she was still trying her hardest to cheer
up.
I appreciated her efforts and didn’t want her to feel bad for , so I decided to go along with her.
"Not at all. Honestly, I don’t have anything fancy in mind…" I replied honestly.
The dress that I had on before had too much lace and it felt very itchy against my skin. The sense of discomfort from that day ca back to
along with the dread of being forced to marry a man that I didn’t even know. Hopefully, things would turn out very differently this ti around.
"Why don’t you invite Hayden out to try on so wedding dresses? It’ll probably be easier to decide that way, right? Also, if you want sothing tailored, you probably have to start right away…and pay extra to expedite the process," Auntie suggested.
"I don’t think Hayden would be interested in taking ," I replied honestly.
He wasn’t even bothered to talk to
about the wedding preparation so never mind him going out of his way to take
to a wedding boutique.
"Have you asked him to take you?" Auntie pressed.
"No…" I replied truthfully.
"You should ask him. After all, you have nothing to lose, right?" Auntie said before she reached for my hand and patted it with her own.
"Right…" I whispered, although I haven’t made up my mind whether to follow her advice or not.
Hearing him turn down my request would hurt so I did have sothing to lose.
