Chapter 608

The sun began to gradually move to the west, and the wonderful afternoon was passing. Sitting on the reef, Kate ran her fingers through her long hair that was blown by the cool sea breeze. She glanced at Adriaan, who was still busy with the beach castle with Lily. From time to time, his daughter would pout and complain, "Dad is useless." She then smiled and looked at the horizon.

She was wearing a white swimsuit. Although it was divided into two parts, it was more conservative than a bikini. The bottom was like a short skirt, and the top was tied in a knot at the chest. Even so, her graceful figure could still be seen at a glance, especially her pair of long legs, which were placed on the reef and made people daydream. Although she had officially entered the ranks of 30 years old today, she was still beautiful beyond compare.

"Is there anything to see on the horizon?" Adriaan's voice sounded in her ear.

"I just want to see how far I can see." Kate turned around, smiled, and then glanced behind him. Lily was holding a small shovel and patting the sand with her back to her parents.

"Were you driven here?" She laughed and came down from the reef.

"Yes." When Adriaan said this, he immediately showed a bad look. "The little guy actually thinks I am a hindrance. She didn't even think about who built the foundation of the castle and half of the building."

Speaking of this, he suddenly changed the topic and smiled slyly. "However, maybe she wants to create some space for us. After all, for the past few hours, we have been circling around her most of the time. Don't underestimate Lily. You know, our daughter is a very smart little guy. "

"Is that so?" Kate sneered, and there was an indescribable satisfaction between her eyebrows.

"Of course, so …" Adrian took out a small white flower from his back and inserted it into Kite's hair under her astonished gaze. "Of course, so …" Adrian said as he took out a small white flower from his back and pinched it with three fingers.

Looking at his movements and feeling the touch of the flower, an inexplicable shyness suddenly surged in her heart. It was just like … more than ten years ago, when Adriaan took her to the studio and played the scene of her shooting in "Two Big Smoking Pipes". This made Kate involuntarily lower her head.

Adriaan then reached out to lift her chin, and the other across her face. Finally, he held it up and kissed her moist lips. Kate slowly closed her eyes and slowly immersed herself in his rhythm. She reached out her hands and wrapped them around his neck. The two stood next to the reef, kissing again and again in the sound of the waves. After a long time of entanglement, they finally separated.

"I love you, Eide," Kate said softly as she pressed against Adriaan's forehead and held his face.

"Me too." Adriaan grabbed her hand and responded in the same soft voice.

Then, both of them looked to the side. Lily was standing not far away. Although her hands were covering her face, her eyes were wide open between her fingers. She had a mischievous look on her face.

"Lily." Adriaan said with a laugh, "Don't pretend there, okay?"

"I'm not!" Lily put down her hand and stuck out her tongue to make a face, "It's because this place is so wide, I can't hide even if I want to. Also, when Dad and Mom are intimate, they basically don't hide from me. Why do I feel that it's inappropriate now? They are obviously looking for an excuse to discriminate against me. "

After that, without waiting for Adriaan to respond, the little girl giggled and quickly slipped away.

"She has already reached this stage, and she knows a lot of special words." Adriaan deliberately said in a sigh, "Look, this is our daughter."

Kate, who was already overjoyed, immediately burst into laughter.

"Why did you suddenly bring me to Hawaii to celebrate?" she suddenly asked after laughing.

"Do you like it?" Adriaan asked back.

"Hmm … not bad." Kate tilted her head and thought for a while before nodding.

"That's it then!" Adriaan spread out his hands, but faced with Kate's "you must answer the question, don't change the topic" look, he scratched his head and had to continue, "You know, DreamWorks released 'Pearl Harbor' in 2001. Although it lost a lot of money, Michael Bay's scenes were still very good, especially the scenery in Hawaii. Blue sky, white clouds, beach style, and sponge under the setting sun. So, I was thinking that if you stood in that scene, it would be even more beautiful. So, I chose this time to bring you and Lily here for a vacation. "

"That's it?" Kate blinked.

"That's it." Adriaan spread out his hands again.

Although it was a little strange, Kite's intuition told her that it was mostly true, so she didn't ask any more questions.

"It's almost time. Let's go change clothes," Adriaan said after looking at the sun.

"Change clothes?" Kate was puzzled. "There's still a lot of time before the sun sets."

"Yes, I know. But, dear, don't forget that I have a gift for you." Adriaan smiled.

Kate was stunned. She had almost forgotten about it. The family of three's trip to Hawaii made her very happy and satisfied. If it were not for Adriaan's reminder, she might not have remembered it even when they went back.

"No need …" Kate said, but before she could finish, Adriaan called out to his daughter in the distance, "Come here, Lily. We're going to start."

"Finally?" Lily ran back in surprise and then cheered and clapped. "Great, great, I've wanted to see Mommy for a long time …"

Under her father's threatening gaze, the little girl stuck out her tongue and swallowed the rest of her words. However, she was still very excited and took her mother's arm to go to the special cabin to change clothes. Kate was confused. She originally planned to ask her daughter something while they were changing clothes, but the little girl shook her head like a rattle.

"No, no, no. Daddy said that it must be kept a secret. If it's leaked, I'll be dead." Lily said very seriously, and then immediately persuaded her mother with a smile, "Well, Mommy, it's not a surprise if you know it in advance. Moreover, it's not long before the mystery is revealed."

"Okay, okay." Kate had to stop asking, but in this way, her curiosity was aroused again. What on earth did Adriaan prepare?

After changing clothes and leaving the cabin, the family immediately went to the rented villa by the sea. Although it was the tourist season, for Adriaan, renting a villa and a beach was a piece of cake. Before arriving at the villa, she saw a group of people going in and out, busy with something. Kate didn't care, because she couldn't tell what they were doing anyway. It wasn't until she went into the house to pour herself a glass of water and rested for a few minutes that she began to realize something was wrong. Adriaan and Lily were gone.

They were still there before entering the house, but after entering the house, both of them found an excuse and disappeared. Until now, they still hadn't shown up. What were they doing? Just as Kate was puzzled, a middle-aged white woman in her forties walked in.

"Hello, Miss Beckinsale, I'm Shelley Fells." The other party immediately reached out her hand. She was dressed in professional attire and looked very capable. "I'm responsible for preparing what you need."

"Hello, Miss Fells, may I ask … what are you talking about?" Kate shook hands with her, puzzled.

"I'm sorry, according to Mr. Kewell's instructions, I can't reveal it to you." The other party showed a professional smile. "But you'll see it soon."

As she said that, she made a gesture of invitation. Although Kate didn't understand, she still followed her to another room. The room wasn't big, and several women were arranging a model rack inside. There was a dress hanging on the model rack. As soon as Kate came in, her eyes were firmly attracted to the dress, and she couldn't look away anymore. It was a wedding dress.

"Mr. Kewell commissioned us to design and make it a few months ago. We chose the best fabric and designed several styles according to your size …" Shelley introduced, but Kate didn't listen at all. Her eyes were fixed on the beautiful white wedding dress, and her heart trembled slightly.

Noticing her emotions, Shelley quickly ended her explanation and coughed softly. "Why don't you try it on, Miss Beckinsale?"

"This … what is it for?" Kate calmed herself down and asked in a slightly hoarse voice.

"I'm sorry, Miss Beckinsale, I can't reveal more, so please try it on first. Mr. Kewell is waiting for you," Shelley said.

"Okay." Kate closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

With the help of these women, she quickly put on the wedding dress and stood in front of the mirror. The way she looked was really indescribable, especially when the veil fluttered and covered a quarter of her face. That kind of elegance and nobility was enough to enchant anyone.

"You're so beautiful, Miss Beckinsale!" "Although this is your first time trying it on, it really fits you very well. Mr. Kewell's taste is indeed unparalleled." Sheila also praised sincerely from the side, "Although this is your first time trying it on, it really fits you very well.

Hearing this name, Kate couldn't help but bite her lip. A throbbing spread from her chest. She once thought that she would never be able to wear a wedding dress in her life.

"Then … what's next?" Suppressing the emotions that were about to burst out of her heart, Kate tried her best to ask in a calm tone.

Shelley didn't say anything. She just smiled and gestured to the door.

Holding the hem of her dress, she walked through the corridor and came to the door of the villa facing the street. An RV was already waiting there, but Adriaan and Lily were still nowhere to be seen. Kate didn't think too much about it. She went straight to the car and let the driver drive out.

After about five minutes, the RV stopped in front of a small church. Even though she had mentally prepared herself, Kate's emotions were still violently stirred. What was this bastard trying to do?!

The door opened, and an old man stood by the street. He smiled and held out his hand. Kate took his hand in a trance and walked out of the RV while holding the hem of her wedding dress.

"I'll be responsible for sending you in, Miss Beckinsale." The old man bowed. He looked kind and had the demeanor of an elder. For a moment, Kate thought that her father was standing there, waiting to send his daughter to the church. An indescribable feeling rushed into her heart. She could only bite her lips to prevent the things rolling in her eyes from falling out.

Then, she saw Lily jump out from the side. She was wearing a flower crown and a flower basket in her hand. She was wearing a white lace dress and looked like a little angel. Her eyes were like crescent moons as she waved at her.

"Dear Miss Beckinsale, can we go in now?" After handing the bouquet to her mother, the little girl immediately became serious.

"Yes … Yes." Kate took a deep breath and once again forced herself to remain calm. She said in a slightly choked voice and held the old man's arm.

The church door opened, and music started playing. The choir also began to sing, but the seats were empty. There were no guests from the groom's side or the bride's side. Kate immediately saw the neatly dressed, holy priest on the altar, and Adriaan wearing a groom's suit one step down the stairs with a smile on his face.

Following Lily, who was scattering petals in front of her, Kate got closer and closer to him. Her chest rose and fell faster and faster. Bastard! This bastard! How could he do such a thing! Was this fun?! Although she kept cursing in her heart, she felt that she was about to lose control of the things in her eyes.

Finally, they stood in front of the altar and the priest. The music and singing also came to an end at this moment.

"Today, we will witness …" The priest began his speech. It was obvious that he was a real Protestant priest, not an actor. But because there were no guests, he skipped the first part and began to say the wedding vows after a few words.

"Bridegroom, do you take this lady in front of you as your wife? For better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness or in health, I will always be with her. I will never leave you, love you, cherish you, until death do you part. "

"I do." Adriaan looked at Kate and replied in a sincere tone.

"Bride, do you take this man in front of you as his wife? For better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness or in health, I will always be with him. I will never leave you, cherish you, cherish you, until death do you part. "

"I …" Kate's lips began to tremble. She stared at Adriaan with some hatred, but also with an indescribable attachment. It was such a contradiction, but she agreed.

"I do!" She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Then, she opened her eyes and continued to look at Adriaan with a biting gaze.

"Since both of you have made a promise of love, then give the symbol of your love to the person you love." The priest didn't mind at all and continued to speak.

Then, Lily bounced to them and handed two open boxes to her parents. Kate saw at a glance that in the box in Adriaan's hand was the diamond ring he gave her a few years ago. She had been wearing it, even though it was on her index finger. After arriving in Hawaii yesterday, she put the ring away, but she could not find it today. Adriaan kept saying things like "Don't worry, I will find it when I come back". It turned out that it was premeditated.

Similarly, she also saw that the ring in her hand was given to him as a birthday gift a few years ago. Of course, he never wore a ring, so it basically did not appear on his finger. She did not expect that he had kept it so well.

Bastard! When exchanging the rings, Kate finally could not help mouthing to Adriaan. However, when he put the ring on his ring finger, there was an indescribable smile on his face that made him want to cry.

"Now, you can kiss your bride." Following the priest's words, the two immediately kissed. However, it was not Adriaan who kissed Kate, but Kate who threw herself into Adriaan's arms.

They kissed passionately in front of the altar, just like a real newlywed couple.

"Sorry, dear. You know, this is the only thing I can't give you." After their lips separated, Adriaan stroked Kate's face and said with a sigh, "So I can only do it as a formality. However, although I can't guarantee that you are the only one, at least you are the first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kate threw the bouquet in her hand out and took the initiative to kiss him again. The music was played again. Lily, who caught her mother's bouquet, sat on the guest seat and clapped her little hands while giggling.

"Thank you, Father Wales. You have done me a great favor. Thank you very much." After the simple yet grand wedding, Adriaan held the priest's hand and said so.

"You're welcome, Mr. Kewell. May God guide you and I hope that you can become a real couple one day." Father Wales smiled. Although he was not a famous clergyman, he was known as a good man in this area. He was definitely not one of those who liked to play with little boys.

Therefore, when Adriaan came to him and asked him to host a wedding that was not a wedding, he specially wrapped up the story between him and Kate. In short, he said that their relationship was complicated and entangled. He felt sorry for her but he could not promise her marriage. Both of them were famous people in Hollywood, so he had no choice but to use this method to make up for it. Therefore, even though this behavior was somewhat against the doctrine, seeing that the other party was very sincere and promised to donate a sum of money to repair the church and improve the medical level in this area, Father Wales agreed.

However, he did not know that once something started, it would not be easy to stop. After Kate, Adriaan soon brought new women here to hold the ceremony. Moreover, all of them were famous women in Hollywood — Father Wales had seen many movies.

Once, twice, thrice, four times … The old priest finally could not sit still. After another ceremony, he pulled Adriaan and asked, "How many more times are you going to do it?"

"It depends." Adriaan thought for a while and replied, "Maybe three or four more times, maybe seven or eight times."

The old priest was stunned for a while and then revealed a nervous expression, "You won't kill me, right?"
