"Have a safe drive, brother." Sheena reminded Vincent. They were standing on the front porch to send him off. She kissed his cheek and gave him a tight hug.

"I will." Vincent patted Sheena's back. "Take care of yourself and Lena. I'm going to miss you both."

"You can call us anytime! But I bet you are just going to do are work and work like your usual routine. You need a girlfriend, bro!" For the last time, Sheena cheers his brother.

Vince chuckled, then replied. "The reason I have none is that because I don't have time with her."

"Jeez. That is why persuade the woman who had your eyes on her." Sheena winked, then brought up about Hailey. "Don't forget to ask her out!"

"You are at it, again." Vincent raises his arm to mess up his sister's hair. But he forgets Sheena styled her hair into a bun and decorated it with beautiful flowers for her wedding. "Okay. I'm going now."

"Thank you for coming all the way here, brother-in-law," Stephen said to Vincent. He wants to give him a big hug as well. However, Lena was sleeping on his shoulder. "And many thanks for your wedding gift to us!"

"You are welcome, Stephen." Vince smiled. He glanced at his niece, who is comfortably sleeping in Stephen's arms. She is now very close to her stepdad, and this scene is what he wanted to see for him to stop worrying about Sheena. Besides, his sister deserves to be happy, and he sees how the newlyweds are in love with each other.

Sheena and Stephen wave at the leaving vehicle. Like what Stephen suggested last night, Vincent drove the old Chevy, and tomorrow, the new Keller family will bring back the Ferrari that Vincent rented in Budapest.

"Baby, I could not believe that I'm going to drive a red Ferrari for the first time in my life."

Sheena smiled. She chooses not to share with her husband that she owns a sports car she got for her 18th birthday.

But that sort of life is not what she dreams from here on.

The life that lies in front of her is the one she looks forward to walk along with the man she loves, and she finally married him!

"Sports cars are best. But it's not what we need once our family is growing," she told Stephen.

Stephen peered at his wife lovingly. He agreed to her judgment. "You are right, baby. That is not what I need, soon when we open our restaurant."

"Yup!" What they needed is a vehicle to carry all the spices and ingredients they were going to shop in the market once they started their restaurant. "I'm thinking, baby. That's what we need to save up next."

Stephen concurred. Again, his wife is right. "You are correct. Ah! I know we are a great team. With you by my side, I have nothing to worry about! I'll make the best dish in Paris, and you'll be one to handle our earnings."

Sheena fell into her thoughts. By then, she will be in charge of the cashier's desk and watch the restaurant's profit.

"Do you trust me with this?" She asked her husband.

"I do! Who is best in numbers? You do."

That touched her. In the past, she didn't worry or care how much money she spent every day because she isn't who works hard to earn it, and she never concerns about this matter.

But now, every cent that will go to their family will be valuable to pay all their expenses every day. And it will be a challenging journey for her from here on. But as long as Stephen keeps his promises, she is happy to walk the road along with him.

Sheena tiptoed to kiss the guy that now is her husband.

Meanwhile, Vincent was on a stop to gas up. He looks around at this small town Stephen's family is living in since his ancestors.
