Chapter 71 —Greg Likes Mommy! Oh No!

Cleo and Itzel came to an agreement that they were not going to tell Henderson about Greg since Lena asked them not to. "We should get some burgers at Delight Bakery to get some cakes before we go home, " Cleo suggested turning to Itzel who nodded happily in agreement, She shifted her gaze to Lena awaiting her response. "I'm not really hungry... But you guys..." Cleo puffed a breath, " Come on, Lena. It's just cakes. You are coming with us." "Yes Mommy, " Itzel smiled holding onto Lena's hand. "Fine as you say." Lena raised her hand in surrender. Lena, Cleo, and Itzel alighted the car when they got to Delight Bakery, They got the cakes and then headed back to the car. "We are not stopping over at anywhere again. We should return to the mansion as soon as possible." Lena started firmly. Cleo and Itzel exchanged glances, Itzel whispered something to Cleo's ears and they burst out laughing. "What are you two saying?" Lena crossed her arms around her chest glaring at them playfully. They laughed even more until they noticed Lena's glare. "Well, your beloved daughter just said you want us to go straight home because you miss Henderson." Cleo let out, and Itzel's mouth hung open because of Cleo's betrayal. She didn't expect that Cleo was going to tell Lena what was meant to be between the two of them. "Sorry, Zel." Cleo chuckled when she saw the look on Itzel's face. Itzel had a huge scowl on her face. "Someone is blushing hard, " Cleo teased peering at Lena who tried so hard to keep a serious face but ended up erupting into laughter. "You both are just something else, " Lena mumbled shaking her head. "Mommy, I think Daddy and Trent are hiding something?" Lena nodded in concurrence with Itzel's statement. "Yeah, that's what I think as well. I mean the way they acted before we left was quite suspicious. Don't you think so too?" Lena turned to Cleo who was busy typing on her phone. "Aunt Cleo, Mommy is talking to you, " Itzel tapped her on the shoulder to get her attention. "Yes, " Cleo mouthed hoisting her head to case at them. "I don't think Henderson and Trent are hiding anything, " Cleo shrugged before returning her attention to her phone. "Wow!" Lena was awestruck when she stepped into the living room. The place was not the same way they had left it, the room was beautifully decorated. Flowers poured on her as she walked further into the room leaving her elated. "Will you marry me?" She read out as she turned around but there was no one else aside her Cleo and Itzel in the room. Her lips grew in a smile as her eyes darted around the room in search of Henderson. "Baby, " she heard Henderson's voice. Looking to the side, he was standing there with a ring box and began to take steps to her. She had a hand over her mouth, her eyes widened in surprise as she glanced at Itzel and Cleo who had excitement written all over their faces. Lena returned her eyes to Henderson who was now standing in front of her, Trent Matteo and Brian had now stepped into the room. Henderson's blue eyes sparkled like stars in the sky as they bored into Lena's hazel ones his lips curved up happily. He went down on one knee. "Lee, I love you. Our first encounter was a weird one, and I'm sure we loathed each other then until we met again and the rest is just history. You made me realise that I can love someone again without the fear of getting heartbroken. You made me a better man and I know I'm not perfect but one thing is sure I'll do whatever it takes to keep you happy, You are my all in all Lena. Loving you keeps me living, you are my best and I promise to love you and everything that has to do with you. You are my world, my bliss, my queen, and my soulmate. Will you marry me?" Henderson's hand was stretched out to Lena, his eyes eluded love and care as they beheld Lena. Lena's eyes were tear-filled, ' this was really happening!' She could feel the butterflies in her tummy doing somersaults all around. "Say yes, say yes, " raves which were Trent's, Itzel's, Matteo's, Cleo's, and Brian's including Madam Carmen's who had now entered the room echoed. "Yes, I'll marry you, " Lena smiled stretching her hand to Henderson. He put the ring on her finger and strengthened himself afterward. His arms draped around Lena and he spun her around before dropping her to the ground and he kissed her. "You and Trent shouldn't see that, " Cleo giggled covering their eyes with her palms but they took it off. "We've seen that a lot of times, " Trent chuckled trading looks with Itzel who nodded in support. "Uhuh! So there is no need. I'm sure we are going to see more, " Itzel whispered. She and Trent burst out laughing afterward. "I love you, " Lena purred after they broke the kiss. "I love you, babe, " Henderson smiled planting a kiss on her forehead. "That should be enough for now, we have to celebrate!" Cleo's beamed happily, this made Lena pull away from the kiss and turn in Cleo's direction. "You knew about this didn't you?" Lena inquired. A grin spread across Cleo's face as she bobbed her head, " Yes Henderson told me about it this morning. The shopping was all part of the plan to get you out of the house. Brian, Trent, and Matteo were also aware." "What! And no one told me? I didn't even take part in the preparations!" Itzel face contorted in a frown. "Sorry Itzel but we had to keep it a surprise, " Henderson mumbled apologetically but Itzel wasn't having any of it, She still had a frown on her face. "But Trent knew, why didn't you tell me, Trent?" Itzel's lips set in a hard line as she shifted her gaze to Trent. "Sorry, we didn't want you to tell Mommy." "Are you trying to say I'm a blabbermouth?" Itzel scowled shooting Trent a glare. "Princess, we know you aren't very good at keeping secrets." Itzel gaped at Henderson folding her arms across her chest, " But I didn't even tell you that Greg said he likes mommy!" She let out. Itzel had her hand over her mouth when she realised what she had just blurted out. 'Oh no!' Lena gasped facepalming.
