496 One Of A Kind (2/2)

Darren rolled his eyes as he said, ”There is no need to be so emotional about it.”

”By the way, I do know you're dating someone but I still don't know who she is or what she looks like or what she does or what kind of a person she is.”

”But you aren't curious about any of that,” stated Darren straightforwardly.

His father shook his head at his son and said, ”Yes, I'm not curious about any of that. I have no doubt about your choices. If she's your choice, she'd definitely be one of a kind.”

”That she certainly is...” His father raised his brow and he went on, ”I mean she is one of a kind. Period!”

His father was a bit surprised to hear that. ”And you seem to be really in love with her. Interesting. Very interesting indeed.”

”I indeed am in love with her. I mean literally everyone around her adores her. It's hard to resist when it comes to her. She is just that kind of person who just makes you fall you in love without even trying too hard. She just has to act like her usual crazy self and that's it.” His eyes were sparkling as it always did whenever Xiu's name was brought in any conversation. It was always like he was under some kind of spell.

His father stayed quiet for a long time reading his expressions before he questioned, ”So, when is the wedding?”

Darren turned to him with an inquisitive gaze, ”Why is everyone asking me that question lately? It seems everyone is more eager for my wedding than me.”

”I think it has something to do with the way you talk about your girlfriend.” Darren's brows furrowed up. ”It's almost like you are charmed. The way your eyes lit up talking about her is enough indication of your strong feelings for her.”

Darren lowered his head and concentrated on eating. He could never help talking about his Sweets like that. Her name was enough to not only make him smile but to make his whole world light up. She was that existence in his life which actually made him believe in fairytale love. Being charmed? He had fallen under her spell so deep that even he couldn't find a way out.

”I think the wedding will be soon.”

His father was surprised to hear him say that suddenly but he was still happy to hear it. ”Hopefully, I'll be invited?”

Darren looked up at his face, ”Yes, of course. Why wouldn't I invite you?”

”Just saying...”

Darren frowned but didn't say anything. Even though he still had been in a lot of stress about this, he couldn't deny that he had to tell Xiu about his father. He couldn't run from it and as much as he knew about his Sweets, she'd rather face it all than to run from it either.
