A bride for the trillionaire's son

" So you're really going out with Henry?" Presh asked as she watch Lily dress up in front of the mirror. " For sure, he said we should go out for dinner who am I to say no?" Lilly grinned. " So if he eventually asks you out, are you going to say yes?" She asked further. " Of course, like I've been crushing on this guy for way too long already... " Then why haven't you asked him out yet?" Presh cut in . " I'm a girl for goodness sake, what will happen to my steeze if I ask him out first?" she groaned. " Whatever, anyways I wish you all the best, I wish I can follow you" she pouted. " Ouch, sorry dear, I'll make sure to take you along if there will be a next time " Lily assured. " C'mon where are you going all dressed up like a pretty doll?" Theresa asked after Lily descended from the stairs with Presh behind her. " She's going on a dinner da..." Lilly covered her mouth immediately. " One of your problem is your loquacious nature " she eyed her. " So you're going out on a date and you don't wanna tell me huh,it hurts " Theresa held her chest. " It's not like that aunt ,it's a friendly outing, Presh is just over hyping it" Lily pouted. " Go and return back on time I'll cover up for you as usual " Theresa winked at her. " Aww thanks aunt,can't love you less" she hugged her lightly before rushing out. " Are you going with her?" Theresa faced Presh. " No , I'm going home " she replied sadly. " C'mon let's watch some Netflix and chill " Theresa dragged her to the sitting room. ********** " OMG you're here already, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting" Lily apologized immediately as she occupied the vacant seat opposite Henry. " I'm glad you came, I almost lose hope" Henry said looking hopeful. " I'm really sorry" she apologized again . " It's fine, so what would you care for?" He asked. " Anything" she replied " Not just anything, you deserve the best so I'm ordering all the expensive cuisine in their menu" he said. " Seriously, you don't have to go through all those stress and waste of money" she tried talking him out of it. " You're special so anything I do for you is not a waste " he said and she blushed. ' such a sweet boy' she thought while staring at him with great admiration. Few minutes time « On noticing that Lily wouldn't stopped checking her watch, Henry decided to hit the hammer directly on the nail. She might have something else to attend to , he thought. " I like you" he proposed bluntly and the fork dropped from Lily's hands clicking on plate in front of her. She was expecting it though but she's somehow surprised. " Yeah I'm being honest, I've liked you right from the first day I saw you but I didn't know how to express myself but I have to now cuz you're way too pretty to resist and someone else might asked you out." He added. So the same guy she has being crushing on since year one also likes her. " I don't know how you feel about... " I feel the same way " Lily found herself saying. " Seriously?" He asked and she nods with a cute smile. " Gosh! I'm so excited I feel like screaming " he stood up immediately pacing out of excitement. " Thanks alot Lily, you made tonight one of my best nights, " he poured out his heart, Lily stood up and hugged him. " I promise not to leave you, I'll try my possible best to make you the happiest on earth trust me" he assured breaking the hug, he kissed her forehead before bringing out a necklace from his pocket and he wore it across her neck. " Aww, it's beautiful" she gushed and hugged him tightly this time around. Her phone beeped and she quickly break the hug to see, it's a message from Theresa. *. If you can fly back home, do that immediately, your dad's is back and he wants to see you* " My Aunt.." she drawled facing Henry. " It's fyn, you can be on your way, text me when you get home or should I drop you off?" He offered. " No I came with my car, see yah tomorrow" she bade before rushing out. " Yes!" He jumped out of joy and compose himself immediately when he saw people staring at him. ***15minutes Later*** She meet Theresa in the living room. " Aunt" she whispered, tiptoing in. " Thank goodness you're here, I have to lie to your dad that you caught a flu and you're in your room sleeping so hurry up before he comes down." She informed. " Where is he?" Lilly asked. " In his room probably freshening up" she answered and Lily exhaled. " Don't feel relaxed girly, hurry up to your room and change or we'd be in a big mess if he comes down" she hurried and Lily rushed upstairs. **** Dinning **** " Hope she had dinner before going to bed?" Saint asked. " She supposed" Theresa answered and he looked at her confusedly. " I mean yes and she also took some anti flu, I'm sure she'll be fine by tomorrow morning" she replied. " That's good, then I will talk to her tomorrow" he said. " About what?" Theresa Inquired. " I met with Lugard today, you still remember him?" He asked. " Wait the famous Lugard who was your childhood friend?" Theresa asked with dilated eyes and he nodded. " OMG! That's great, so what does it has to do with discussing with Lily?" She inquired. " You'll find out tomorrow" he replied leaving her to ponder what it could be.

She remembered her moment with Henry at the restaurant and she blushed heavily . " Gosh! I'm so happy" she covered her face with the duvet. Next day «« " Good morning aunt" Lily greeted and sipped from the mug of tea in the dinning table. " Sit and have a proper breakfast before leaving" Theresa said. " I can't it's almost time for lectures" she replied. " where is dad?" She asked " He left for work an hour ago" Theresa replied. " Oh he's an workaholic " she scoffed . " He said he's going to discuss something important with you today " she said. " Any idea?" She inquired. " I'm in the dark as well" Theresa replied. " So gist me how was your outing last night?" She inquired. " C'mon aunt I'm almost late, I'll tell you about it when I'm back" she said rushing out and Theresa smiled. Lugard's mansion " Lionel we'll be having dinner with your supposed bride and her family tomorrow" Lugard said. He's sitting in the middle of the dinning with his first wife on the right, the second onnthe left, Lionel and Henry are sitting opposite each other. " I'm getting married?" Lionel asked. " Yeah, I met with an old friend yesterday and you'll be getting married to his daughter soon " he answered " Isn't it too sudden?" Yvonne his first wife and Lionel's mom asked. " He's 26 already and nothing is too sudden , or do you have a problem with that?" Lugard faced Lionel. " No " he replied and stood up. " I'll head out first " he said before walking away. ' NO like seriously?' Lionel's response played in Henry's head Yvonne stood up and left as well. " Dad it's the 21st century and Lionel has right to choose his bride, getting a wife for him is odd " Henry defended. " You're still schooling and obviously has no idea about the business world " Lugard grinned cunningly. He cleaned his hand and also walk way. " Mom " Henry called Ruth who has been eating quietly. " What?" She faced him. " Why aren't you saying anything?" He asked. " What should I say, Lionel obviously doesn't have a problem with your dad getting him a bride so I have nothing to say " she replied. "Bu.... " Your dad is right, you have no idea about the business world so stay out of it" she advised. Henry's phone beeped . * Babe Its almost time for Mr Ben's class where are you?* ,« Lily * On my way love" he sent with a big smile on his face. " Yeah what are you smiling at?" Ruth asked suspiciously. " Nothing" he stood up immediately. " Wait you gat a girlfriend already?". She asked. " It's a secret Mom" he giggled rushing out. " This boy" Ruth shook her head with a smile.
