Chapter 2014: Giving a Diamond Ring

After the two of them finished showering, they emerged from the bathroom. Felix took the initiative to blow dry Vicki's hair. Due to her pregnancy, Vicki had cut her hair slightly shorter, letting it fall around her shoulders, giving her a more polished appearance. Vicki looked at Felix in the mirror, noticing how much more tender he had become since her pregnancy, always careful to take care of her. It warmed her heart. Felix belonged to the healing type of men, she thought, but she felt that she was the one benefiting the most.

Since being with Felix, the nightmares at night gradually disappeared, and her mindset opened up. After passing through those gloomy years, the present days were incredibly happy. It wasn't until her belly began to swell that she started to gradually feel the reality of becoming a mother and began to look forward to it.

After finishing blowing Vicki's hair, Felix asked, "Have you prepared gifts for Luther and Joyce? Where did you put them? I'll go get them, and we can take them together later."

Vicki stood up and replied, "They don't lack anything. I couldn't think of anything to give, so I prepared a diamond ring for Joyce, a 30-carat one. It's in a small box, just put it in your pocket."

Felix hesitated, feeling puzzled. Marriage, giving diamond rings, wasn't that something a man should do, something Luther should do? Giving Joyce a diamond ring, what did that mean? After all, the gift Vicki prepared also represented him. What Vicki gave, he gave. It was strange, he couldn't understand what Vicki's thought process was.

"What's wrong?" Vicki asked, seeing Felix looking astonished.

"Give a diamond ring... Of course, people prepare diamond rings for weddings. If we give another one, won't it be repetitive?" Felix's handsome face showed a hint of embarrassment, ". What if the diamond ring we give is more luxurious than the one the groom gives to the bride, wouldn't that embarrass the groom?"

Felix remembered that Luther had complained to him before. Joyce insisted on a simple wedding, not allowing Luther to prepare the wedding ring properly and using the original set. Now, they were making up for it.

"What do they lack? Anything we give will be repetitive. We can't just give a check, can we?" Vicki glanced at Felix, "If you think the diamond ring isn't good, you still have time to change it. You can go get a cash cheque now."

Felix sighed, let it go, diamond ring it is. He really admired Vicki. She had always handled such matters before, and he did not intervene. He should have realized that Vicki, with her frank personality, couldn't possibly excel in gift giving. He should have been the one to prepare the wedding gifts.

"Felix, why do you think they chose to have the wedding venue on South Island?" Vicki pondered. "Although South Island has beautiful scenery and is suitable for a vacation, it's not very convenient for most guests as they need to take a special boat to get there."

Felix shrugged, "Maybe Luther wants to do something special, after all, he and Joyce have been through so much. Getting married is a once in a lifetime event. He wants to leave a deep memory."

He suddenly reached out and pulled Vicki into his arms, "Look, Luther and Joyce already have four children, and even they had a wedding. After you give birth and finish your postpartum period, let's follow their example. Have a wedding and a full moon banquet for the child together, okay?"

At first, Vicki frowned, but then she saw the hopeful look on Felix's face. She couldn't bear to disappoint him.

"Okay, it's up to you," she agreed.

Felix was overjoyed and lifted Vicki's chin, then he kissed her deeply. This kiss was a bit uncontrollable.

Until Vicki pushed Felix away, breathless, "What, you want to take another bath and blow dry my hair again?"

She whispered in his ear, with a seductive look, making him feel tempted.

Felix almost lost his mind, unable to resist the temptation. He would naturally be willing to do it again, but considering her body and the time, they were about to set off.

He cleared his throat and tidied her long hair.

"Vicki, don't seduce me. I won't fall for it," Felix teased.

Vicki laughed and pushed Felix away, "Seriously, I don't think Luther chose the wedding venue on South Island just to leave a special memory. I think he has another purpose."

Felix furrowed his brows, "What purpose? Tell me."

"South Island is a closed island surrounded by the sea on all sides. The only means of transportation in and out are boats. If anyone wants to take a helicopter to the island, they must obtain permission in advance. So by controlling all the boats that go to the island and conducting strict checks, safety can be ensured."

Felix was puzzled, "Are you saying that Luther is worried about something? But Athena is already dead. We both confirmed this information. What are they still worried about?"

"I don't know. It might not be because of Athena. Maybe there's some new situation?" Vicki walked towards the dressing room as she spoke.

She chose two casual outfits, one for herself and one for Felix, sticking to the same color scheme.

"It can't be, right? I thought everything was over," Felix rubbed his temples. "It was finally peaceful."

"In this world, there is no real peace," Vicki handed the selected clothes to Felix. "The wedding is tomorrow, let's wear casual clothes today. The formal attire for the wedding, I'll pack it in a separate box and bring it with the car. Go change, we should leave."

Felix nodded and changed his clothes, asking, "According to your suggestion, should we bring a few more bodyguards? Initially, I only planned to bring Wu Hao."

Vicki agreed, "I've considered it. I think they shouldn't lack manpower. Bringing Wu Hao should be enough. Since Joyce didn't mention this to me, we shouldn't interfere for now. The more people there are, the more chaotic it will be. Besides, I'm just guessing, there might not be anything serious, they're just cautious, it has become a habit."

Felix nodded, "That makes sense."

Suddenly, he wrapped his arms around Vicki, who was changing clothes, "Wife, it seems like we haven't had a vacation. After the wedding, how about we replace a place to relax?"

Vicki turned back, "Relax? Are you referring to... changing the environment for that?"

Felix didn't initially understand, but when he did, his face turned red, "Vicki, why is that the only thing on your mind? I mean, going on a vacation, enjoying the sun and beach!" Vicki rolled her eyes, "When you say 'relax,' that's the only thing I can think of."

Felix responded, embarrassed, "Vicki, you really are something."
