Chapter 258 Too Early

He hugged her from behind and placed his chin on her shoulder. "You are the only pretty one in my eyes. No one can even be compared to you."

Andrew pressed his lips on her shoulder. "You are the only woman I will love and cherish all my life."

When he caressed her waist with his thumb, Rachael nudged him with her elbow. "Andrew, everyone is watching." Their sudden intimate action had drawn everyone's attention. Even though they were not staring at them, they were stealing glances every now and then.

"So? Am I not allowed to hug my wife whenever I want?"

"Oh my God, stop this PDA," Elsa scoffed. "Are you both trying to make me feel jealous by acting all cuddly in my fiance's absence?"

"Justin is not here?" Rachael inquired.

"He had to go somewhere," Elsa sighed. "He promised he will be back soon but it's already been an hour."

"Don't worry, he will be back," Andrew assured her as he continued to hug his wife.

While the couple were sharing an intimate moment, someone was trying her best to conceal the sourness she was feeling in her heart.

Ashley looked at Andrew and Rachael and then at Alina who was glaring at them. Contemplating for a while, she stepped towards her and whispered, "Alina, control emotions, everyone is looking at you."

Everyone present in the party knew or had heard about Alina's obsession over Andrew. They found it very weird when Alina showed up to the party all dressed up.

Alina tightened her grip on the wine glass she was holding and pursed her lips. The way Andrew was looking at Rachael who was talking to Elsa, pricked her heart.

For all the years she chased him, he never once showed her any soft side of his. This made Alina believe that Andrew didn't have a gentle side. He was cold and aloof. But she couldn't be more wrong.

Andrew was looking at Rachael like she was his entire world. The love and passion he had for her was very evident in his eyes. The way he had his hands wrapped around her possessively was something Alina had wanted for years.

All these years when she chased him, Andrew never paid attention to her. In fact, he did not even look at her except for the time when she slit her wrist in front of his office. At that time he visited her in the hospital and asked her to stop acting all crazy. He told her clearly that he wasn't interested in her in any way.

He also told her that he already had someone in mind. Alina thought he was lying to get her off his back but now when she thought about it, maybe Andrew was talking about Rachael.

Has he liked her for a really long time?

From what she had heard, Andrew and Rachael knew each other before he came to Russia with his maternal grandfather. So there was a possibility of him having feelings for her beforehand.

Alina looked at Rachael and scoffed, "She thinks she had won—" She took a sip of the drink she was holding. "But it's too early to declare a winner, isn't it?"

Daniel wrapped his arms around Kathleen's waist. "What's in your mind?" When she shook her head, he sighed, "You know I will not stop asking if you don't tell me."

Keeping quiet for a while, she said, "I saw Remi and her son." She smiled. "We both got pregnant at the same time, remember?"

He nodded.

"Our baby would have been of his age only," Kathleen placed her head on his shoulder. "I was just wondering how our baby would have looked."

Daniel sighed. He kissed the top of her head. "She would definitely be beautiful, just like you."

"What if it was a boy?"

He shook his head. "It was definitely a girl." Keeping quiet for a while, he added, "This time when we try, let's not keep our hopes too high, okay?"

She nodded in agreement. "I don't want us to be disappointed again."

"Kathleen, Daniel," someone called them out.

"Here we go again," Daniel muttered.

Kathleen nudged him with her elbow before smiling at the woman who was rushing towards them.

"I was looking for you both everywhere."

"And you finally found us," Daniel forced himself to smile.

"How are you aunt Melissa?" Kathleen gave her a hug.

"I am good, how are you?" Before she could answer, Melissa added, "I wanted to talk to you about something important."

"Do you remember my sister's daughter-in-law, Ruby? She gave birth to a healthy baby boy last month after twelve years of her marriage," Melissa exclaimed.

Daniel knew where Melissa was going. He was going to stop her but Kathleen stopped him. She held his arm and gave him a look.

"That's wonderful," Kathleen smiled. "I am happy for her."

"Yes yes, we all are happy," Melissa exclaimed. "But we all have to thank Reverend Oclus for this miracle. Ruby could only conceive after he blessed her womb."

Pausing for a while, she added, "I can help you both take an appointment from him next week or whenever you both are free."

"That won't be necessary," Daniel stated. "We both of plans of sticking to sex to make babies and not a Reverend blessings."

Kathleen pursed her lips to control her laughter before looking at her husband who was looking at Melissa with a straight and serious face.

Melissa on the other hand was taken aback by Daniel's remark. She felt embarrassed and awkward.

"Excuse us please." Daniel wrapped his arms around Kathleen's waist and walked away.

"That was a good one," She whispered.

"Let's get out of this party before someone else says something stupid," he frowned. He was so tired of people giving them unwanted tips and advice.

"This boy—look at him not leaving his wife alone even for a second," A woman commented.

"Exactly, leave her alone so we can talk to her," Another one added.

"Why? You can't talk to her in front of me?" Andrew raised his brows.
