Chapter 173 Dinner With The Daughters-In-Law



Amy rummaged through her wardrobe. She was not sure what to wear for the family dinner. Her eyes landed on a long sleeved turtleneck beige bodycon dress. It fell to her knees when she put it on and it hugged her curves perfectly and complimented her baby bump. She looked in the mirror and nodded in approval, but would Zach like it?

She took some sandle heels before walking out of the wardrobe and going to her dressing table. Zach had it set up the day after they had settled in. She tied her hair into a sleek bun before she started working on her makeup. She didn\'t want to do too much and went for neutral eyes. Now for the lips..... She tapped a finger on them wondering which color of lipstick she should go for. Her eyes landed on a box of lipsticks that Zach had gotten for her some time back. She took a strawberry shade and started applying the lipstick.

Zach came out of the bathroom in his towel when he found her doing so. She kept a watch on him as he watched her run the stick on her luscious lips. She pursed them before slowly releasing them in their full form. Zach cursed under his breath.

"How is it?" She asked in a seductive manner.

He walked over and leaned in to whisper against her ear, "I\'ve already thought of ways of ruining that."

Amy\'s breath hitched when she felt the caress of his soft lips against her ear send an electrifying feeling upon contact. Her eyes subconsciously drifted to his towel covered crotch through the mirror. Is that one of the things he would use to ruin her lipstick?

"Don\'t do that baby", he growled guessing what she was thinking.

"Do what?" She whispered as she resumed looking into his now lust filled eyes through the mirror.

"That dinner might come to an end before it starts", he whispered back before pressing his lips on the back of her neck. She felt a shiver down her spine and closed her eyes enjoying the pleasure.

"I\'ll go dress up", he whispered to which she hummed.

While he did so, she looked through a drawer that had her earrings. She had never bought much jewelry because she was a homebody. If she was invited to some function, someone always represented her.

As though reading her mind, he came up behind her. He was now in beige slimfit pants, a red shirt neatly tucked in leaving the first two buttons undone and sleeves rolled up to his elbows, and chocolate brown shoes.

His hair had been combed back neatly and the woodsy scent just made him even more attractive.

He smirked when he caught her checking him out again. Before she could smack him, he came up behind her and hooked his hands around her neck. She looked down to see a simple pure silver chain with a moon pendant and diamond filling inside. She gasped at the beauty of it as she glazed her fingers against it. His words flashed in her mind.

\'For the earth, there\'s only one moon... For me, there\'s only you.\'

She chuckled in delight as she turned around to face him. Her cheeks colored red remembering such a cheesy line yet it made her blush still.

"I love it, thank you Zachery."

"It\'s my pleasure", he said with an adoring gaze as he wrapped his arms around her waist.

She felt like melting on the spot. Failing to resist, she stood on her tip toes and hooked her arms around his neck bringing his head down to catch his lips with hers. He held the back of her neck to deepen the kiss when she broke it. His brows went up in question.

"I don\'t want you to ruin my lipstick", she whispered while holding his gaze. "Just not before the dinner."

So what about after dinner? She untangled herself from him with a mischievous smile and went to put on her shoes. This woman, what was she playing at especially knowing that her checkup was the next day? His dirty thoughts were interrupted when he took in her footwear.

"Will you be comfortable in those?" He voiced his concern.

"I should be, but I\'ll get rid of them if it gets uncomfortable", she promised.

He went to help her put them on before they headed out. As they descended the stairs with Amy\'s hand in his, the house staff could not help but marvel at the couple. They heard a loud gasp from the foot of the stairs!

"Xavier! Where is your camera?" Victoria shouted excitedly.

"Why?" He rushed over and his mouth fell open. "Wow! This day will go down in history!"

"Why- wow!" George commented with a chuckle.

Amy chuckled, "Leave your brother alone."

"You heard her", Zach agreed feeling bashful that she was backing him up.

"Sis! Allow me to take pictures. I won\'t do anything without your consent", Xavier promised.

Amy was skeptical about the idea, she looked to Zach feeling unsure. Truth be told, she never liked being in the spotlight. Besides, tonight is about Xavier and Nicole, not them.

"Don\'t force yourself", Zach said to her.

"Don\'t you want to commemorate this moment? Besides, I\'m not bragging but my photography skills are good", he puffed his chest out.

Not bragging, he says.

"But Nicole.....", That was her concern.

"Oh! Don\'t worry about her. She not yet here", he explained.

Amy briefly fell quiet before nodding. Xavier quickly went out. He always carried his camera around. He retrieved it from his car before going back to the couple.

"So just be yourself, you can have a conversation, or whatever. I\'ll handle the rest", he said before getting into position.

The couple looked at each other, unsure of what to do despite the instructions they received.

"I still don\'t know what to do", Amy whispered in his face.

"Me neither", he admitted with a whisper of his own.

They broke out into chuckles at their silliness. Zach caressed her cheek with his free hand as he gazed at her dottingly.

"Did I tell you how beautiful you look tonight?" He continued with a whisper. Amy\'s smile grew wide as her cheeks colored red.

"Wow! You guys are literally the perfect models!" Xavier commented as he started looking through the pictures he took. Throughout their ordeal, he had been moving around capturing the moments.

"Let me see", Victoria moved closer excitedly.

They all hurdled around him. Amy was shocked. Xavier had captured the moment they had been staring at each other, when they smiled at each other, and Zach staring at her dottingly while she blushed. Xavier knew which moments to capture.

"Excuse me sir, Miss Oswell has arrived", Edmund announced after getting their attention.

They all looked to find her walking in wearing a black bodycon dress with black sandal heels, simple makeup and her hair french braided to the side.

"Wow", Xavier abandoned his camera in George\'s hands and went to greet her with a kiss. "You look beautiful."

"Thank you. Sorry, I\'m late. There was traffic", she said to him before looking at the rest.

"It\'s okay. Let\'s go in", he said before leading her in with his hand resting on the small of her back.

Zach and Amy followed behind. George took two steps before he was stopped by a tag on his shirt. He stopped and looked back with a questioning gaze.

"Aunt Victoria?" His brows went up.

"George, when is it going to be your turn? I want all my boys to settle down", she spoke quietly.

"Aunt Victoria."

"Actually, there\'s this girl-"

"Hello?" He fished out his phone from his trouser pocket and pressed it to his ear. He mouthed \'work\' as he pointed at the phone before quickly walking away.

"That phone didn\'t even ring", she whisper shouted her complaint only to make him sprint out of the corridor.

She shook her head. Although he reacted like that, she needed to do something. George was much worse than Zach when it comes to women. He was a literal statue. Anyway, she would worry about that later. For now, it was time for dinner with her two daughters-in-law. Could life be any more perfect than this?
