Chasing After My Wife

What Jenny gave her was a black sheer lace short robe. There was a black sheer lace lingerie that came with it, too. "What have you been teaching to her, Winter?"     

"I taught her the world of the adults. Sooner or later, she would fall in love, get married and have her honeymoon too." Winter grinned as she gave her lame excuse.     

She was about to retort her statement when Riley and Jackie gave their gifts to her. "These gifts should always be together."     

"I don't feel like opening these." Jillyanna spoke with her flushed face. She can feel her blush from the increasing temperature of her face. Even though she said it, she still opened the gifts. What Riley gave her a black killer heels and what Jackie gave her were two pairs of different black sheer lace top stockings. "I knew it! How did you guys come up with these ideas?"     

"It is for honeymoon use." Riley responded with a chuckle.     

"You need to look sexy even after giving birth." Jackie added.     

Sky was just watching them with a wide smile. She knew these kinds of stuff and it was normal for women. She just let them be and enjoyed herself watching them.     

"Alright. I guess, you were all thinking about naughty stuff. What else do you have?" Jillyanna just gave up and let herself be the source of their entertainment. She knew that they were just teasing her but she still couldn't stop herself from being shy.     

Cheska approached her and handed her a box which was quite heavy. She was wondering what was inside to have such heavy gift. She opened it immediately and found a pair of blue robes for her and Travis. There was three pieces of large scented candles, too.     

"Finally! I got a normal gift." She exclaimed happily and smiled to Cheska. "Thanks for this Ches."     

"Uh..how do I put this.." Cheska was a bit hesitant and she started to feel guilty. "Those candles…"     

"Those scented candles are made of Patchouli and Rosewood fragrances. It said that they are the best candles with aphrodisiac effect." Winter helped Cheska to say what was in her mind.     

Jillyanna blinked her eyes once, then twice; disbelief was evident in her face. "Winter! What nonsense have you been doing with them?"     

"Nothing." Winter grinned without explaining anything. She thought about it several days ago and decided to tease Jillyanna during her bridal shower.     

"I don't know what Travis will say after he sees these things." Jillyanna looked at the gifts and smiled awkwardly.     

"My cousin would thank me for these brilliant ideas." Winter retorted, unrepentant to what she did. Jillyanna just rolled her eyes helplessly.     

Wynwyn handed her a small box, almost the same size as the one that Winter gave her earlier. "This is for the accommodation."     

Jillyanna didn't quite understand what she meant by that but, when she opened the box, that was when she knew what was that all about. Inside the box was the information for the booked hotel in Bali. Savannah also approached her and handed the third small box.     

"Let me guess what this is." Jillyanna smiled sheepishly. She already accepted her fate that she will be teased for the night. "This is the return ticket from Bali?"     

"Half right." Savannah replied. "There's a return ticket from Bali and another ticket to Singapore."     

"How long will this honeymoon last?" Jillyanna asked them in curiosity.     

"Just a week long." Winter responded.     

"Thanks god, I won't have to stay away for a long time." She looked at the gifts once again and smiled to them. "Thank you. Even though you are all happily teasing me, I am still grateful for the effort."     

"We are happy that you are happy." Cielo mentioned. "As for serious gift, we actually prepared some as well."     

"Really?" Jillyanna asked with doubt. She didn't know if they have the same definition of serious things.     

Cielo and Savannah pushed a huge box from a corner where it was hidden from her sight. When she opened the box, there were several items inside. A bed linen from Jenny, a cookbook from Sky, a pair honeymoon sweatshirt from Jackie, personalized pillow cases from Riley, a sweet-scented diffuser from Savannah, couple set scarf from Cheska, a stainless-steel French press coffee maker from Winter, set of gold and marble coasters from Cielo, outdoor wine rack from Wynwyn, and a shower and bath set from her teacher.     

Jillyanna was so overwhelmed with emotion and she didn't know what to say. She had been saying thank you but she felt that her words weren't enough to express her gratitude. "I am at loss for words. I don't know what else to say aside form my 'thank you'. I am just so happy."     

"If you can't find the right words, then you don't have to say anything." Cielo told her. "Do you have any idea why we are doing this for you?" Jillyanna shook her head. "We are doing this to motivate you."     

"Correct.�� Jackie mumbled. "We want you to stay strong and make it alive after the operation. Who will use these things if you are gone? So, you have to make sure that you will become strong sis."     

"Big brother has prepared so many things for you. He planned so many things for you. You have to stay alive for him and for your baby." Riley commented with a faint smile.     

"Jill, we all wish you to live happily. You deserve so much in life. You deserve to live, to enjoy, to love and to continue sharing your kindness. We wish you to become strong and give birth to a healthy baby. And we wish you to become even stronger, go through the operation and recover from it." Sky spoke to her daughter gently. "Always remember that we will be supporting. We've got your back."     

"Oh geez! Mom, you are making me cry again." Jillyanna exclaimed while sniffing and blinking her tears. "I will live. Don't you worry guys." Jillyanna mumbled while wiping her tears away.     

While they were happily throwing surprises to Jillyanna, someone had been watching them from afar. The anger and killing intent were so strong that the men who were talking at the garden felt it. At this moment, Jackie, who was at the second floor, received a text from Vincent.     

"Someone escaped from the jail. Someone from the Summer."
