LOVE IN PARIS: Married To My Brother-in-law-Chapter 71: Concept Of Love

Hopefully, this time around it landed on Odiette instead of his soulmate for the night, Olivia.

"Bring it on ". Odiette clapped as others cheered.

"So Odiette, do you believe in love?. I mean do you think love exists and do you believe in true love ?". Angelo asked, stunning everyone.

"Well, that’s too easy. You’re being unfair". Olivia sulked unhappily but she was also eager to hear the answer and so was everyone.

Odiette didn’t have a proper family since birth, one where love , familial love was absent so it was absolutely understandable that her answer would be no.

Odiette picked a bottle of soda and chugged it down in a go before replying. "I do believe in love. Of course I do, I mean who doesn’t wants a Cinderella tale". She smiled .

"I thought you were anti love, always nonchalant and . ." Ollie taunted but Odiette interrupted.

"I don’t do love doesn’t mean I don’t believe in the concept of true love ". Odiette corrected Ollie and continued. "Growing up, I never experienced familial love so I had no idea what’s it’s like or how it feels but the bond we all share made me believe in love. I’ve seen several couples out there and most especially courtesy to our amiable Yvette and Zeke , they share what I know as genuine and true love and I can’t help but admit, it make me wonder when I’ll ever have someone to love and cherish me the same way also".

She took a deep breath, paused and then continued. "But , unfortunately true love isn’t for everyone. We aren’t always lucky. Some are lucky to have true and mutual affection but some are a victim of unrequited affection, no matter how hard they struggle or fight, all has been decided by destiny and some which is the category I fall in finds it difficult to fall in love or even think of forever with someone. So you’d better get used to me being single till, if fortunately my prince comes along". She concluded and everyone all sighed.

"I agree with you there sweetie". Angelo sighed and grabbed a glass of wine, drinking slowly as though he was affected by her words .

Zeke noticed Angelo’s change in emotions and he patted his hands which was clutching the table clothes encouragingly.

Leila also butted in sensing the change in atmosphere. "You know, I came across this quote somewhere and it says: no one is destined to be alone . God made we females out of someone’s ribs and someone out of the male’s ribs. So as long as you exists, your heavenly created partner also does exist, you might just not meet quickly because God might be preparing you or still be preparing your partner ".

"Wow, philosopher Leila. I saw what you did there". Angelo clapped excitedly.

"At this point, I don’t know if you’re comforting yourself or you’re comforting me but I think I’ll go for the latter". Odiette laughed and the others also joined merrily.

"As long as it does a thing". Leila shrugged , slightly blushing.

"So, time to spin". Angelo said after a while of laughter and everyone became quiet, eager to continue the game.

He gave the bottle a vigorous spin and slowly and eventually, it landed right before Leila.

"It’s our philosopher this time around". Angelo chuckled and the others cheered.

"So, Miss philosopher. Have you ever had an encounter with love cause your words earlier were out of it ?". Angelo asked and they all eagerly awaited her answer.

"Well, yes". Leila finally replied after blushing and fiddling with her fingers.

"We planned to be single together girl". Odiette wailed as the others cheered, eager to hear her tale and Leila slapped her hands off her playfully. "Well, it was totally unexpected". She shrugged.

"But he doesn’t knows I exist". Leila added quite remorsefully . "I would say it was love at first sight. My sister had trouble in school, she was bullied and I went over , to cut the long story short he saved me from tripping and also stood up for me and that was when I had a kdrama love experience. He also helped me to the hospital and dropped me home. He had probably forgot about our encounter but here I am , love smitten". Leila concluded dreamingly and Yvette threw her a cushion playfully.

"We’re always together all day long yet you hide this amount of secret from me, all thanks to this game of spin the bottle or I’ll never find out . Poor me ". Yvette frowned.

"So, what does he look like. Tall , handsome . ." Odiette asked, leaning forward to her.

"Manly, masculine or . .." Ollie also joined and Leila immediately waved her hands dismissively, quickly calling Angelo’s attention to continue the game , the mens laughed and then Angelo continued.

This time , the bottle pointed directly at Yvette.

"Alright, it’s my little sweetest sister". Angelo grinned mischeviously making Yvette feel uncomfortable, she knew he was up to no good. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"So, if you eventually come to a point where you had to choose between your career and relationship. Which would you rather sacrifice, relationship or hard earned career?". He dropped the bombshell, stunning everyone, even Zeke who had been nonchalant all through the evening felt a chin in his spine as they all awaited Yvette’s answer.

"Simple". Yvette clapped almost immediately. "There’s no need to be conflicted neither is there any choice to be made because I’ll be choosing my husband. He is my all, the one who completes me , the one who set my path right. All I am today is all thanks to him so if one day, that time indeed arrives, I would never hesitate to choose him".

"He’s my rock and source of happiness, the rock behind my entire career. I might have never had said this before but Ezekiel Lorenzo, you’re the only right in my life and even in the next lifetimes to come. I want to do forever with you". Yvette completed amidst the cheers and screams, before leaning forward to peck the stunned Zeke’s lips.

"Indeed, a married daughter is a spilled water . Of course, only he matters, nobody else does". Angelo complained .
