Chapter 260 - Wingwoman (1/2)

That night, the newlywed couple and their friends and family gathered at one of the finest restaurants in Beijing to have dinner. Jackson couldn't take his eyes off his beautiful wife and Halia couldn't stop smiling from ear-to-ear. This was the happiest day of her life.

”I can't believe that you got married before me,” Natalie complained jokingly, ”And here I was, thinking my man was doing a good job planning a wedding within one month...”

Halia laughed. She was also surprised that Jackson managed to plan so much without her knowing. Especially when he was in Hong Kong, she was in Beijing, and their friends and family were from all around the world.

”I was shocked when he called me,” Lily said. ”Even though you told me he was actually Interpol, I subconsciously forgot and treated him like a gangster. I had my guard up at first, but when he explained everything to me, my heart melted. I wish I could find a man like your husband. You're so lucky.”

Halia blushed a little. She had to agree that she was quite lucky.

But, she wasn't used to the attention, so she turned to Natalie and changed the subject, ”Why didn't Sean come back with you?”

Natalie smiled and replied, ”Pumpkin wouldn't let him go...”

Halia's expression softened, ”Awww, that's so cute!”

”He wasn't even sad when I said I was going away for a few days. But as soon as I asked Sean if he wanted to come with me, the brat immediately grabbed onto his legs and said he couldn't go,” Natalie said helplessly.

Halia laughed. ”Kids are so entertaining.”

Natalie glared at her friend, ”If you think they are so entertaining, you should have one of your own.”

Lily quickly chimed in, ”You are at the perfect age to get pregnant. In a few years, your fertility will decline and it will get harder. Plus, you will have a higher risk of complications such as miscarriage and birth defects. You better begin working on it tonight...”

As she spoke, Lily nudged Halia with a wink. She was deliberately teasing her.

But, Halia quickly threw an attack back at her friend, ”What about you? We're the same age but you haven't even got a boyfriend yet. If someone needs to put in some work, I think it should be you...”

Lily blushed, ”I'm still waiting for the right guy.”

”Maybe you need to be more realistic with your expectations. What about Isaac, he's a great guy. Have you ever considered him?” Halia suddenly asked seriously.

Lily scrunched up her nose, ”Now that you mention Isaac, I think you should speak to him.”

Halia looked at her friend with curiosity, ”I've spoken to him a few times since I left the hospital.”

”Well, I think he still likes you. He's been asking about you a lot lately,” Lily replied uncomfortably. ”I think you should clarify things with him.”

Halia quickly held back a laugh. Was her friend jealous?

The truth was, she had already told Isaac that she was in a relationship a long time ago and had even announced that she was getting married in a recent conversation. In response, Isaac had actually revealed that he was developing feelings for Lily and he had asked her to be his wingwoman and matchmake them. That's why she mentioned Isaac in front of Lily. But, it seemed, her friend was oblivious to the man's feelings.
