Wedding gift
Peter was perplexed after hearing her. Why did she bring up a contract?
“Why do we need a contract before getting married?” Peter asked extremely shocked.
“Because I don’t trust you, and I don’t trust marriage. So, before signing, we’ll both sign a contract. Whoever violates this contract must give the other party half of her property.” Lotus stated.
“Do you mean you need a pre-nuptial agreement?” Asked Peter this time.
“I do, indeed. You can also include your terms and conditions.” Lotus said just like it was a normal thing for couples.
“May I now inquire about the terms?” Asked Peter out of irritation. He can’t imagine this woman had managed to make his mood bitter in a split of a second.
“For the next two years, we will be married. If we decide that the marriage isn’t working, we’ll go our separate ways, and the babies will stay with me. You are not permitted to have an affair. and you are not permitted to raise your hand against me.” Lotus said looking at his blue eyes.
“Is there anything else you want?” Peter asked her reluctantly.
“I’ll include them as they come to mind,” Lotus said.
“All right, the contract will be ready as per your request,” Peter said as he turned around to leave the garden.
Peter exited the garden, leaving Lotus alone. Lotus went inside and began sketching designs.
Monica knocked on Lotus’s bedroom door at ten o’clock in the morning. Lotus did not attempt to open the door. She sat in front of the mirror, staring at herself. Everything changed for her on the same day she was waiting. But today’s Lotus is not the same as the old naive Lotus. In the early hours of this morning, Peter emailed her a soft copy of the contract. Except for one clause, everything was by Lotus’ instructions.
It says that,
“THEY HAVE TO SHARE THE SAME BEDROOM AND CONSUMMATE THEIR MARRIAGE. TO PREVENT THEMSELVES FROM CHEATING”
Lotus doesn’t think it’ll be too difficult because they’ve slept together before and, as grown-up humans, they both have some needs. Lotus felt butterflies all over her lower abdomen as she considered her needs. Lotus checked her reflection in the mirror once more. She was dressed in a cream-colored half-sleeve knee-length gown. The dress was made even cuter by his white skin. There was another knock on the door this time. Lotus took a deep breath and walked over to the door. When she opened the door, she saw Andrew in all his glory standing there. He was dressed in a black three-piece custom-made suit. He was looking as dashing as ever.
“Are you prepared? The lawyer is waiting for you in your living room.” Peter asked looking at her from head to toe.
Lotus simply nodded and walked with him into the living room. A middle-aged man sat next to Tom and Stanley. They were talking about something when they noticed the couple.
“Shall we go to my study room?” Lotus said to the men. They all nodded and Lotus lead them to her study.
They went into her study and sat on the chairs. The lawyer went over the entire contract, including its benefits and drawbacks. The contract was signed by both parties after they agreed. Together with the lawyer, Tom and Stanley exited the study. They stated that Lotus and Peter would be waiting in the car. Lotus put her arm around Peter’s as he slowly extended his arm.
They noticed James and Jenny sitting on the couch as soon as they exited the study. They approached their parents and hugged their feet as they were too small.
“Where are you going, Mommy and Daddy?” James asked his parents. It’s so good to have both mommy and daddy.
“They are getting married. You will stay together as a family starting today.” Monica replied from their back.
“Is that why Mommy wore a dress instead of a suit?” James asked looking at Lotus.
“Don’t TV brides wear white to their weddings?” Jenny said all of a sudden making everybody laugh.
“This isn’t a wedding, my love. This is only marriage.” Lotus said to her little angel.
“Mom, no matter what color you’re wearing, you’re still the most beautiful bride.” Jenny praised her mother.
“I love both of you,” Lotus said to her twin babies and hugged them together.
“I love you both as well,” Peter said and joined their hug.
“Please let your parents go, or they will be late for the appointment.” Monica reminded them. And they let go of each other.
Lotus was helped to stand up by Peter, and they proceeded to the door. They noticed Stanley sitting in a car with the lawyer, and Tom standing next to Peter’s car. Tom opened the back door for the couple as they approached. Peter assisted Lotus in getting in first, then slid inside. Tom shut the door and climbed into the driver’s seat. They were soon on their way to the marriage registration office. They entered hand in hand as if they were a couple in love. Peter had already planned everything so that they wouldn’t have to wait any longer. They simply went there to sign the document. Then I came out of the bureau after clicking a picture together for the certificate. The remainder of the procedure was handled by the lawyer. Peter opened the passenger side door of his car for Lotus this time. Lotus entered the vehicle, and he sat in the driver’s seat. They quickly drove away from the marriage registration office. Lotus let out a breath as soon as they left the area. She is still unable to control herself as a result of the trauma of marriage. She looked around and noticed that they were heading in a different direction.
“This is not the way of our office or at home,” Lotus said looking around the road. Though she had returned after four years she knew every corner of this city. This is her home.
“Now that we’re married, we’re going to spend some time alone with each other,” Peter said without looking at her and kept driving.
“However, where are we going?” Lotus asked him again.
“You’ll find out in a few moments,” Peter said and sped off.
Lotus sat back in her seat, shrugging her shoulders. They were soon out of town and on their way to the dock. The sea could be seen from there. Lotus noticed the vast sea from afar as they drove there. There were a lot of seabirds flying around. Peter came to a halt on the dock. There was a large yacht in front of them. Lotus was taken aback when he saw the yacht. She had always wanted to buy a yacht but couldn’t because she was too afraid to spend that much money.
Peter assisted her in getting out of the car. He took her hand in his and led her to the yacht.
“How do you like it?” Peter asked her
“Yes, it appeals to me. I’d always wanted my yacht.” Lotus replied looking at the yacht dreamily.
“I know, Nat told me about your dream. That’s why I bought it for you.” Peter said looking at her face. She was looking so innocent and young in that dress.
“Did you buy it for me?” Lotus asked pointing a finger to herself. She was beyond shocked.
“Yes, it’s a wedding gift from me to you,” Peter said while brushing a finger on her cheek. Lotus blushed.
“I apologize for not having prepared a wedding gift for you,” Lotus said looking at her feet out of embarrassment.
“It’s all right, wife. You are the most precious gift I have ever received.” Peter said reluctantly and put his both hands into his pockets.
Lotus wrapped her arms around his neck and drew him closer to her. Then she pressed her lips against his. Peter was taken aback. She kissed him for the second time on her own. They kissed each other passionately until they were both out of breath. While catching his breath, Peter rested his brow on her. He took her hand in his and led her around the yacht. First, he took her to meet the yacht’s sailor and instructed him to start it. It took them an hour to tour the entire yacht. Lotus was taken aback when she saw the large modern yacht. It had three bedrooms with a bathroom attached to each bedroom. Everything is furnished to the standards of a five-star hotel. Lotus noticed this when he returned to the deck. On the center of the deck, a table for two was set up. The table was piled high with her favorite foods, and a bottle of red wine sat on one side. Peter dragged a chair over to her. She sat down and looked at the food in front of her. Except for the captain, who arranged everything, she didn’t meet anyone on the yacht. A confused Lotus caught Peter’s attention as he sat in his chair. As if Peter could read her mind, he responded to her question by asking it himself.
“Everything was done by the captain. Except for him, there is no one. These foods were already on board the ship.”
Lotus nodded in agreement, and they began digging into the foods and talking about other things. Lotus assisted Peter in transporting the dishes to the yacht’s kitchen after they had finished their meals. After clearing the deck, Peter took the wine bottle and two glasses and dragged Lotus to the pool. The yacht’s swimming pool was not large, but it was adequate for swimming. The bot was sitting on a beach chair. Peter poured wine into their glasses and gave Lotus one. They were both sipping their wine and gazing out at the sea. They arrived a long distance from the shore. Lotus can no longer see the city’s long building. She can see vast blue water as far as her eyes can see.
“How many women have you brought here previously?” Lotus asked suddenly looking at him.
“I only came here with my wife.” After that night with you, no other woman ever drew me in.” Peter said looking at the sea.
“Do you want to tell me I’m the only person you’ve ever slept with?” Lotus asked a bit curiously.
“No, I’m not saying you’re the only one.” But you are without a doubt the last one. I couldn’t stop thinking about you after that night. “And how about you?” This time Peter asked her.
“And how about me?” Lotus said shrugging her shoulder.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
“I know I was your first. I want to know who was the last?” Peter said sipping on his red wine.
“You tell me about your first then maybe I would tell you about mine,” Lotus replied to him without breaking eye contact.
“My first was Lucy. And she was the only one before I met you. We were in a relationship with our college. We broke up after 2 years and parted our ways.” Peter said as if it meant nothing to him. But lotus could see the disappointment in his eyes. He doesn’t want to remember his past.
“You are the only one,” Lotus said all of a sudden making Peter confused.
“Huh? What did you mean?” He asked with a knitted brow.
“I mean you are the only one I have ever slept with. After you, I got pregnant with James and Jenny. After their birth, h I never felt any need to spend the night with any other men. I didn’t have any free time maybe that was a reason too.” Lotus described herself.
Peter hold her chin and made her face him. As their eyes met he crushed his lips on her. They kissed hungrily and passionately. Their hands roaming each other bodies. With every passing second, they deepened the kiss. When their lungs went out of breath they both pulled away. Peter stood from the chair and scooped Lotus up in bridal style. He then took her to a bedroom.
