Chapter 198 - Absolute Defeat

Cathy felt she had been blessed with having a unique family. She had two fathers who doted on her, an older brother who treasures her, three cute sisters she can pamper.

The best gift she could ever have was an ideal husband who loves her, protects her and was willing to give everything to make her happy.

Right before their grand wedding celebration party took place, Vincent and Cathy decided to go for their postponed honeymoon for one week. They realized that after reuniting and getting married, they did not have time alone.

Cathy was busy every day handling the distribution of assets and meeting with the board of directors who have been working with Paxton corp. At the same time, Vincent explained everything about what was happening around Cathy and himself to his parents.

His father, Joseph Regnz, was angry that his youngest son kept such an important incident from him but grateful that Vincent had finally returned home safely.

On the contrary, Vienna and Vanessa Regnz were crying and blamed him to the point they didn't want to let him go, so Vincent was forced to comply with all the two women's wishes to please them.

At that time, Vincent still didn't tell his family about his marriage to Cathy because he still couldn't guess what kind of reaction his family would have if they found out.

While Cathy runs the Paxton corp company with Benjamin and Kinsey's help, Vincent notifies his family of his marriage to Cathy slowly.

He remembered that his mother had forbidden him to have anything to do with the Paxton family and only accepted Benjamin because he was the only child left by her older sister.

At that time, Vincent agreed because he didn't want to befriend anyone who bore Paxton's name, but fate played pranks on him. Cathy was Chloeny Paxton's and Marcel Alvianc's daughter.

Although Cathy does not bear Paxton's name, the girl still directly relates to the Paxton family.

Now Vincent falls in love with that girl and even marries her, making him break his promise. He hoped that his family would not be too offended and accept Cathy into this family, especially his mother.

Just as Vincent announced his marriage, no one was not surprised to make the man feel worried. 

Could they be too shocked and had a heart attack to the point they became speechless?

But the next second, their reaction took him by surprise.

"What did you say?! You are married?! When!?"

"Who taught you to get married without your parents' blessing??"

"What will people say if you give your wife a simple marriage, huh?"

"You said you loved your wife? But why don't you give the best marriage for her?!"

"Vincent, your mother and I are very disappointed in you."

"Me too!" Vanessa crossed her hands in front of her chest and stared at her stupid brother with a fury look.

"…" Vincent was speechless at the scolding from his family.

At first, he thought they were angry because he married a girl from a family they didn't like. Apparently, they were mad that he didn't give Cathy their best wedding without knowing that their wedding ceremony was quite memorable.

"If I'm your wife's mother, I will hate you the rest of my life. What would you think I feel if some random guy married my Aby unannounced?"

Vincent felt regret the moment he heard his sister's inquiry. He would hate whoever dare to marry his niece.

"I'm sorry. I'm too reckless."

"It's good that you know."

"But... I'm not some random guy. I'm her boyfriend, and everyone already knows that." came from the thousand reason expert making his sister wanted to give him a hard slap.

"Vanvan, just let it go. Vincent, bring your wife here." was the order from the old Mister Regnz.

"Yes, sir."

The day Vincent brought Cathy to his house and meet with all his family was one of the best days in his life. His heart even felt happier when he saw his sister so enthusiastic about preparing their wedding celebration party.

He has left it all to his sister and mother, and he planned to honeymoon with his wife.

And here they are... On a beautiful island with an artistic villa at the end of the hillside. The sound of the waves and the fresh breeze touched their skin soothingly. Shady trees adorned the scenery, and the weather was excellent.

This place is perfect for honeymooners for newlyweds. Or so they thought.

Cathy stroked Vincent's back gently in the main room facing the ocean. Cathy's lips showed an amusing smile seeing her sulking hubby.

How he not? The two of them should be enjoying their honeymoon right now. They had put it off too long and wanted to spend time alone together. But while they were making out, Kinsey and Steve suddenly arrived to disturb them.

The two bullies were enjoying delicious fruit salad. They didn't care about Vincent's deteriorating mood at all.

"Cathy, why do you call Vincent by his name while Kinsey by brother?" Steve suddenly asked to enlighten his long-hidden curiosity.

"Eh? What's wrong with that?" Cathy even asked innocently.

"About that, I'm also confused." continued Vincent, who sat next to his wife. "You and Kinsey are twins, Steve is four years older than you, and you call them with brother, while I am seven years above you, but you never call me brother?"

"Uhm... they are my brother. You want me to call you brother?"

Vincent wanted to answer 'no' because he didn't want to be her brother, but before he could answer, Kinsey had spoken first.

"Call him oldest brother. He's the oldest among the four of us, after all."

Vincent rolled his eyes indifferently. He has already accustomed to the sarcasm that his brother-in-law said.

"Pft... I think he's more like the old man." teased Steve with a tone of playful mocking.

"Uhm... I have a more suitable nickname," exclaimed Cathy excitedly.

The three men sitting there were curious about what name to give, which made Cathy excited. In the next second, they froze to stop their activities when they heard a name.

"Pinpin! How about I call you Pinpin?"

Vincent, who was jabbing a fork into a watermelon, stopped, while Steve, who had been drinking water earlier, choked and coughed, and Kinsey... unconsciously dropped his fork on the floor.

"What's wrong?"

The innocent and childish look on Cathy's face made Vincent sigh in resignation. On the contrary, the two bully brothers-in-law were laughing hard while nodding their heads in agreement. The two of them had never heard of such a ridiculous name... especially for Vincent, who was a big man with a face that sometimes looked very cold and scary.

Vincent frowned and had the urge to throw these two uninvited men to the ocean.

It was better for him to hear himself being called the black hedgehog. The nicknames of the tigress still sound cooler than Pinpin! And yet, he couldn't protest his beloved wife.

"Yes, the name fits," agreed Kinsey, still laughing.

"We'll call him Pinpin now, too."

"You can't! Only I can call him Pinpin. After all, there is only one Pinpin in this world, and he is mine." announced Cathy in an unwavering voice, making the laughter of her two brothers vanished into the unknown instantly. Their hairs stood on end, not expecting their sister's cheeky words.

On the other hand, Vincent smiled broadly and looked at his wife with all the love he had for her.

"I am yours. I have always been yours." Vincent kissed Cathy's face repeatedly before placing his forehead against hers.

The couple in love looked at each other lovingly while giving their partner a light kiss in turn. Seeing that intimate scene made the two men who saw it suddenly feel nauseous.

They deliberately caught the couple's attention by clearing their throat or pretending to vomit. Unfortunately, Vincent and Cathy already entered their own world and forgot about their two brothers' presence.

Steve patted Kinsey's arm couldn't stand the aura of fluffy pink in front of him.

"I told you, visiting them on their honeymoon is not a good idea."

Kinsey clicked his tongue annoyingly because he failed to spoil his brother-in-law's honeymoon.

Even though he was less angry because Vincent took his sister from him, he still has not forgiven Vincent for marrying her just like that.

And now they decided to go on a honeymoon even before the actual wedding party!! How could he just let it be?

"RINRIN!!"

Kinsey smiled at a loud voice coming from the front door. Apparently, there were two more people who have not been able to accept Cathy's sudden marriage. And now the two of them burst into the room, one of them walking with open arms.

"Father!" exclaimed Cathy, jumping from her comfortable sofa and into the arms of her father, Marcel Alvianc.

Vincent looked at Kinsey suspiciously. Seeing Kinsey's triumphant lopsided smile, Vincent could only sigh in resignation. It seems that once again, he has to postpone his honeymoon with his wife. Plus, it wasn't just Daniel and Marcel who showed up. But Cathy's three sisters and Benjamin and Felicia have also come.

Is this what they called an absolute defeat? He never got ambushed like this before, and he waved his white flag the moment he heard his wife's happy voice while greeting her family.

Letting Cathy told her two brothers where their honeymoon was really a huge mistake. He will make sure no one will find out where their next honeymoon is.

Well, he welcomed his current defeat because he saw his wife's happy face. Vincent didn't want to exchange it for anything.

In the end... the newlyweds' honeymoon turned into a vacation.
