Caitlyn gaped upon hearing that she was no longer in any part of America.
"London's? Since early? Why, you didn't say it!" the woman was angry.
Instead of feeling guilty, Owen stiffened his laughter. Especially when he saw Caitlyn was more surprised, when he told them that they had actually been there for about four days. As Caitlyn remembers, she just arrived last night.
"Your condition is pretty bad, Cait. The sleeping pills you swallowed are quite a lot. Fortunately, the doctor can do first aid. With his permission, I immediately took you and the children flying here."
Caitlyn. Guilt is back in my head. In her heart she promises to make amends to Chloe and Wayne, by becoming an even better mother.
Seeing Caitlyn moody, Owen carefully touched her arm. "Don't think about anything, all the bad things are done. Now, you can start a new life here, with me," said the man.
Caitlyn nodded. "Thank you, Owen," he said.
...**********...
As Owen promised, the next day he took Caitlyn, Chloe, and Wayne for a walk through the city.
There are many places they visit. Hyde Park is one of the largest parks in central London. The park was established in 1637 and has an area of 142 hectares.
Satisfied exploring in the park, they then eat lunch at one of Owen's favorite Italian restaurants, before then go to see Big Ben, a place Chloe always coveted.
Although his father came from a wealthy family, it does not mean they often travel abroad. Understandably, because the Edmund family never liked them, so, Caitlyn prefers to lock herself in the magnificent palace with children.
Chloe stared at the large clock tower built since 1858, with a sparkling face. She even asked her mother to take some pictures there. The little girl thanked her father-to-be, who had bought her mother a new cell phone.
Speaking of father-to-be, Caitlyn herself told Chloe about her marriage and Owen. Although Chloe is still not even eight years old, but she is quite understanding and can be invited to discuss.
Luckily, Chloe can understand her mother's life choices. He even exclaimed happily, because by having Owen, he seemed to have his father back.
After visiting the Big Ben Clock Tower, the four spent the night on the London Eye, which is the largest observation wheel in the world with a height of 135 meters. From there they can see the vast expanse of beautiful London.
Caitlyn could not hide her happiness. It's like finding another life since meeting Owen. Now, it feels like he can freely wander without fear of the scorn and humiliation of the Edmund family again.
Caitlyn smiled at Owen holding Wayne. His youngest son had never gone through his bedtime like now.
Caitlyn chuckled at Owen trying to tease the sleeping Wayne. Instead of waking up, Wayne just secures himself more tightly in the arms of Owen.
"Let me carry it" Caitlyn asked Owen. They had just arrived at the house at eleven in the evening, and Owen painstakingly carried his two sleeping children.
"No need." Owen refused. The man walked quickly into the house. Caitlyn followed Owen's footsteps.
Upon arrival in the room, Owen placed Chloe and Wayne carefully.
"Good sleep, little angels, Mother" said Caitlyn, landing a kiss on Chloe and Wayne's forehead. Owen did the same before they left the room.
"Thank you for today, Owen," said Caitlyn sincerely.
"Either. I'm happy to see the children's laughter" Owen replied.
"Rest, please" said Caitlyn.
Owen nodded. However, before parting ways, the man tells Caitlyn to get ready tomorrow afternoon. Because, Owen had booked a place in one of the famous boutiques of his acquaintances.
"For what?" ask Caitlyn.
"We can't marry clothes, can we?" kelakar Owen's.
Owen laughed a little. "Yes. It shouldn't take long to think about my offer, should it?"
Hearing that, Caitlyn suddenly laughed, because Owen followed her own words at that time.
Caitlyn finally agreed and hurried off to the guest room.
...**********...
Right after Owen came home from college, he picked Caitlyn up at home to take her to the boutique.
Owen deliberately chose the best boutique to design their wedding dress. Initially, Caitlyn refused and asked Owen to choose an existing dress only. However, Owen did not agree to it. The stubborn man wanted Caitlyn to wear the only dress in the world.
"Your husband-to-be is right, Miss" said Elizabeth, the boutique owner.
Having no support from anyone, Caitlyn finally relented. Although he was upset with Owen, but Caitlyn also understood that this was the man's first marriage. So, it's only natural that Owen wants to have an impressive wedding moment.
However, regarding the wedding party, Owen agreed that only the closest people were invited guests. Understandably, because both do not have many acquaintances. Moreover, it was Caitlyn who did not know anyone here.
While Owen will only invite the nuclear family of his adoptive parents and some important ranks of the university.
"Your body is still very good, despite having two children" Elizabeth said. Caitlyn did not cover up the fact that she was a widow.
"Thank you" said Caitlyn. At first Caitlyn thought Elizabeth would look at her strangely. But it doesn't seem so. Elizabeth was a widow whose husband had died twice.
"May the wedding this time, you get longer happiness, Miss. I'm very happy" said the 50-year-old woman sincerely.
"You should also stay happy with your children, Miss Eliz," Caitlyn said.
Elizabeth smiled haru. He resumed measurements on Caitlyn's body.
After taking the measurements, Caitlyn went out to meet Owen. The man was also just finished taking measurements by one of Elizabeth's assistants.
"What model do you like?" asked Owen as soon as he saw Caitlyn.
"I'm not good at choosing. So, I leave it all to you" replied Caitlyn.
"At least, are there any details you want in the making of this dress?" asked Owen as if he had not given up.
Caitlyn immediately took her place next to Owen and saw Elizabeth's catalog neatly lined up on the table.
There are many beautiful luxury dress models that can be their reference. However, not a single image matched Caitlyn's heart.
"How's it?" ask Owen again.
Caitlyn shook her head. "I'm sorry," she said. "I just want a dress that's simple and looks sacred when people see it" she said.
"If that's what Miss would want, how about we adapt a little of the royal grandchildren's wedding dress." Elizabeth suddenly made a suggestion. "He took one of the catalogs on the shelf and gave it to Caitlyn.
"This is the Duchess of Cambridge's wedding dress. We can take a few of his points from there."
Looking at the photo, Caitlyn agreed. For the woman, the wedding dress worn by the Duchess of Cambridge does have its own values.
Owen is happy. The dress problem was finally resolved.
