A tiny life was silently flourishing within her. One morning, Laura, embracing Edwin's neck, whispered, "You're going to be a father!"

Edwin remained in a state of bewilderment for a considerable duration.

Laura attentively observed his expression. “Aren't you delighted?"

Edwin gazed at her petite visage. "Are you serious?"

Laura, somewhat bashful, hummed in agreement.

Subsequently, Edwin carefully leaned over her, listening attentively to her belly, while Laura gently stroked his head and said, "The baby is still too small to hear anything."

“I simply wish to do this!"

Edwin listened for a brief period, and then delicately touched her flat belly, marveling at the enchantment of the moment.

Laura's gaze exuded an unbelievably tender affection.

Following a moment of reflection, Edwin tenderly kissed her.

After a lingering kiss, he held her fingertips and said, “Laura, let's get married."

Their wedding ceremony was small in size but exceptionally grand.

Attended by only close family and friends, numbering fewer than 50 individuals, the church was adorned with warmth.

The Fowler family attended the event.

To Alexis' surprise, Edwin also invited Leonel, who appeared sharp in a three-piece suit, though visibly leaner.

Leonel approached leisurely and took a seat beside Alexis.

He ardently admired her in the beige dress, gracefully enveloping her slender contours.

This was an outfit he had never seen before.

On the stage, Edwin and Laura swapped wedding rings.

In a hushed tone, Leonel remarked, "If it hadn't been for that night, maybe we would've ended up married as well."
