Chapter 3 Wedding Preparation

Emerald woke up to the touch of the cold wind on her gentle face coming from the open window of the room.

She looked at the Big wall clock hanging on the wall, seven o'clock in the evening the time was set there. She slept for two hours., She thought

Yawning Emerald got up to close the open window. At that time, it was very cold in the whole hacienda because there were so many different types of trees surrounding the whole hacienda Buensuceso.

The girl looked out of the window. From where she was standing on the second floor of the mansion she could see the eternal darkness except for the lights that surrounded the mansion. Various emotions enveloped her heart again, there is no place like home. She's just worried about how she will deal with the man until now, her heart is full of love toward a him.

She has to get ready any moment from now her nanny Lorie will pick her up for dinner.

"Emerald ..." Exactly Emerald was able to get ready when her nanny Lorie called for dinner, she felt a little cold in the water after she took a shower.

"Come on child, your daddy is waiting in the dining room" she said after opening Emerald At the door of the room.

The two of them went downstairs to have dinner at the same time.

Emerald looked at their large family portrait on the living room of the mansion, she stared at the image of her mother.

" Do you miss your mommy? "Aling Lorie asked.

Why do I seem to be getting emotional especially When I step on the mansion again, Emerald sighed.

The smile on the lips of the girl who looked at yaya. "Come on nanny, daddy is waiting" instead of answering the nanny.

Sadly Aling Lorie just followed the beautiful Emerald to the dining room.

"Hi daddy,"

"Nanny Lorie and you sit down and the food will be cold" her father signaled.

Emerald just kissed her father and she sat on the left side of the father's chair parallel to her nanny Lorie.

All The food prepared by the chef is Emerald's favorite. Except for the lechon de leche and crabs pellet which is my father's favorite.

"Don't mind me hija, your father is really like this when he gets older, anyway , do you stay here for good?"

Emerald stopped eating, first drink the fresh mango juice in front then replied the father who was staring at him.

"I don't know Dad" she replied.

"Why? do you still have a plan to return to France and leave the Hacienda?" There is a sad melody in Don Enrico's voice. As a father, he doesn't want his princess to go back to go back in Paris.

Even Aling Lorie is looking at her Dearly , in her heart she doesn't want Emerald to leave again that she already considers as her own child.

"I just came home to attend my sister Kristina's wedding, by the way, dad, when will my sister come?" Emerald pretended to show excitement on her voice so that she could hide her feelings for her sister's upcoming wedding.

As a sole sister and only sibling, it doesn't look good and it's not appropriate not to attend her eldest daughter's wedding.

"I don't know to your sister, she said she'll be here before the wedding day, because she can't just come back from Switzerland yet in an early shedule. She can't just leave her job abroad without proper endorsement of the person who will replace her. " Her father responded of the father while shaking his head.

"But dad, how did ate Kristina's wedding dress measure if during the preparation, she was abroad?"

"You don't seem to know your sister, so she just sent the measurements to their wedding planner, and family of your brother -in -law will take care of their upcoming wedding "

Vincent is unfortunate, based on what he observed then, he knows how much the man loves his brother. She was sad inside. And that did not escape the sight of the father.
