Chapter 847 Catching Up With The Group

After the small gathering, the four couples stayed in the Davis Mansion to have a catching-up moment with Tristan and Zhen-Zhen.

The grandparents were the ones busy taking care of the twins. They already brought Little Cassie and Little Tian to their room. Zhen-Zhen temporarily sealed the twins' power to prevent another commotion from happening.

"Congratulations, Lillie and Tristan!" The ladies greeted the husband and wife.

"Thank you, ladies!" Zhen-Zhen responded cheerfully.

"Cheers!" Tristan raised his wine glass for a toast.

"So what's your next plan now, bro?" Andrew asked his brother meaningfully.

"We will have a wedding at the end of this month." Tristan declared to them, making the group cheer for them.

"Wow. I couldn't wait to see Lillie walking down the aisle. I bet she will be the most beautiful bride on that day!" Sophia gleefully said with her dreamy eyes.

Yuri, Bianca, and Alveena nodded their heads in agreement. Even the guys agreed with her remarks.

"Are you all available that week? We already listed your names as part of the entourage," Tristan informed them.

"Really? Then who will be your Best Man and Maid of Honor?" Bianca couldn't hide the excitement in her voice.

Everyone focused their attention on Tristan and Zhen-Zhen. They were anticipating their reply.

"It will be… Matthew, my Best Man," Tristan said, looking at Matthew meaningfully.

Matthew, on the other hand, was surprised when he heard that. He didn't expect that Tristan would choose him.

"Why me? Not Andrew?" Matthew asked Tristan curiously.

"Because… you've been with us since Lillie and I first met each other. You gave me worthy advice when it came to love and relationships. You are the one who is constantly reminding me not to hurt Lillie. Thanks, Bro. You are truly my best friend! You're the best!"

Matthew felt touched as Tristan appreciated him and his meaningful advice. He was cherishing their friendship.

"You're welcome, Bro!" Matthew said, smiling broadly.

Andrew patted Matthew's shoulder while Clifford and Brandon were smiling at them. They were glad to be part of this circle. They had been through a lot. They even fought each other because of women. But they ended up being friends. They also found their respective partners.

"How about you, Lillie, who's your maid of honor?" Brandon was the one who asked her.

For the past three months, Brandon and Yuri have been hanging out with the others. Sophia and Yuri became close friends. Matthew and Yuri maintained their good relationship as childhood friends.

"I choose Sophia. She's the first person whom I became friends with. She's a special friend to me. She helped me cope and adjust to my school life. Thank you, Sophie." Zhen-Zhen hugged her as they were sitting next to each other. They were reminiscing about how they met and supported one another in difficult times.

"I should be the one thanking you, Lillie. You are the one who supported me and protected me from those bullies in schools."

Zhen-Zhen could only smile. Sophia was so kind to her. So she felt grateful to her. She was glad that they became closer like real sisters.

"It's nothing. I like you. You are so pure and kind. Thank you for being my first ever friend."

"Aww, I feel jealous!" Alveena said teasingly while putting on a pitiful face.

"Don't feel jealous. We are all friends here… the five of us are sisters!" Sophia blurted out, consoling Alveena.

"Yes, of course! And you will become our bridesmaids. And the guys will become the groomsmen. Are you all fine with that?" Zhen-Zhen asked them.

"Yes, sister-in-law. It's nice to be part of the wedding of the Century." Andrew said proudly.

"Don't forget your extravagant gifts! I'm expecting more from the CEO of the Sy Corp!" Tristan said, challenging Clifford.

"Eh, how about me? I'm a CEO too!" Brandon didn't want to be left out. "I will make sure to give you the grandest gift ever!" He added, boasting.

The group burst into peals of laughter. Brandon also wanted to showcase his wealth. He was now the newly appointed CEO of their company.

"Ahem, I can't wait for the wedding to happen. I know it will be wonderful." Bianca shared her thoughts.

"That's true." Yuri also joined the conversation.

"Hmm, tell us what's the update on your ends? Is there someone also planning to get married here by this year?" Zhen-Zhen asked their friends.

"Alveena and I will do the wedding ceremony next year, after giving birth to our baby," Andrew informed them.

"Wow, the Davis brothers are now settling down with their women. How about the others?" Brandon blatantly said. He was the most talkative among the group.

Andrew and Tristan looked at Matthew and Clifford, wondering if they were also planning to propose to their women. The two men just glanced at each other meaningfully while the ladies fell silent. The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

This topic was not supposed to be discussed in front of their girlfriends as they had their plans of surprising them if ever they decided to propose.

Clifford and Matthew glared at Brandon, giving him a warning look.

"Cough! Cough!" Tristan cleared his throat before speaking. "Sophie, I heard from Zhen-Zhen that you have a piece of good news to tell us. What is it?" Tristan immediately changed the topic.

Sophia smiled shyly. She was waiting for the right opportunity to tell this to Matthew. She already told Zhen-Zhen two days ago about this good news.

Matthew, who was clueless about the happenings to Sophia, watched her with a puzzled look in his eyes. Sophia didn't mention anything to him.

"What is it, Sophie? Come on, tell us. The suspense is killing us. Don't tell me you are pregnant now!" Alveena said exasperatedly.

"Cough! Cough!" Matthew choked on his saliva when he heard Alveena's last remarks. Then he glanced at Sophia expectantly. Was she truly pregnant?

Sophia suddenly blushed at the attention she was getting from her friends, most especially Matthew. He was staring at her intently, anticipating Sophia's response.

After a moment of silence, Sophia finally answered them, telling them the good news. Matthew held his breath, his eyes fixed on her.

"Actually, I just found out two days ago that… I passed the exam and interview at the university abroad! I got my scholarship for my Master's Degree. I will be taking my Master's Degree abroad for two years!"

Matthew fell silent. He didn't look happy at all.
