A double life sentence with no parole for the murder of two, Mo Luangmie and Rafael Alonso, and attempted murder of Daniel Sullen. Plus 20 years for kidnapping and attempted rape, publicly shaming Omegas, and perjury.
That was Daniella Sullen's sentence. After the news broke out, it was already widely anticipated that Daniella Sullen would not end well with the Mo family being her enemy. Everybody was shocked but can't help accept and move on in the end.
"Are you okay?" Laotian asked, they already arrived home after the court trial and Daniel had quickly checked on his son and hugged him as soon as he saw him as if they had been separated for days. He was still not comfortable leaving Luangmin with a babysitter so he missed him so much.
"Hmmm, I'm okay. Thank you for asking. I just feel bad a little because Daniella had turned out like that. Up until now, I still don't understand why she hated me so much. I don't remember doing anything to her, well, aside maybe for being an Omega and stealing you." Daniel mentioned raising one eyebrow at the last couple of words while he swayed Luangmin on his arms as the little guy squirmed excitedly wanting to play.
"You never stole me from her, I was never hers." Laotian cooed pulling Daniel on his arms. "Just forget about her now since she won't be able to bother us anymore." He added.
"Yeah. That's probably for the best." Daniel replied. It wouldn't be good honestly to mention such a depressing topic. He was finally glad there were no more threats coming from Daniella that would befall upon him and his family ever again. As long as she remains inside the prison.
"Yeah, and it is probably also best for us to quickly come downstairs for the celebration." Laotian reminded since they've already checked on Luangmin.
*laughs* "That's probably also for the best." Daniel chuckles in confirmation. They both quickly come downstairs but they had not fully stepped out of the stairs way when Mo Hanlu meets them half-way and expanded his arms wanting to take Minmin from Daniel.
Daniel helplessly sighs and gives his son seeing that Mo Luangmin surprisingly adored this uncle of his. "Only for a while," Daniel warned causing Hanlu to pout.
"Tch. Stingy! Why don't you make another one and I'll adopt my precious Minmin." Hanlu said as they walked towards the kitchen not expecting Laura Mo to hear.
"Oh so why don't you just find yourself a wife and make your own and so won't have to snatch Minmin from your brother wife?!" Laura Mo interrupted when she heard his second son's words, she was very determined this time to really marry off Hanlu to one of her friend's Omega sons or daughters.
"Mom!!! I like kids but I don't want to have my own and a wife is really not for me." Hanlu reasoned out. He honestly can't see himself as a married man.
"You stubborn man!! Just watch me! I'm going to marry you off so you won't have to bother us here." Laura Mo countered that caused everyone in a room to laugh. By now Daniel was already used to the two arguing about something like this. The Lopez couple, on the other hand, was slightly surprised that the Mo Empire's president was actually this kind of person but they joined in the laugh making Hanlu pout again.
"I will never." He mumbled when his mother wasn't listening and soon after smiled triumphantly that he heard no more attacks from the woman. "Let's just go there and play, let's leave these old people here." He cooed his nephew while he escapes from the middle of the room towards the corner hoping he wouldn't get any more attention again.
With Hanlu out of the picture and champagne distributed among them, Laura shifted her attention to Daniel who was currently been stripped off of his glass of champagne.
"Anyway Darling, let me congratulate you now that justice had been served. That woman really deserves what happened to her. Honestly, I thought she would be able to turn the tables around but thankfully Xiao Lao is hiding the most important piece to win the trial." Laura Mo chatted, a glass of champagne on her hand as she talked. It was very clear that she was satisfied with the result of the trial.
"Thank you, mother. But this would not have happened really if not for Laotian." Daniel demurely said as he glanced at his husband with so much love and adoration. Laotian, in the same way, looked at him with the same level of affection.
"Anything for my wife." He breathes kissing Daniel's temples. Even though his expression was the same as always, his eyes say that he was the happiest at the result of the trial. It was only right that he won.
"But it was only right for him to serve you, Darling. Right Honey? We wouldn't have accepted him as our son if he cant serve you right." Laura added and Mo Chendong had no choice but to nod in support for his wife. Joyous laughs again emanated within the crowd as they continued to chat.
"We're very happy that our son married such a man." Mr. Lopez commented which Laotian acknowledges with a nod. Finally, his in-laws were rested assured that he wouldn't hurt Daniel and will always make him happy.
"Oh speaking of marriage, are you two going to get married again?" Laura asked. She really hopes she could attend his son's wedding this time. Diane Lopez also wants to attend his only son's wedding ceremony since Daniel's marriage came off as a shocking surprise to them.
"Tomorrow is Daniel's 20th birthday. I don't mind having a simple wedding ceremony." Laotian replied but he was looking at Daniel for his reaction at the idea. And he was not disappointed as he saw his wife pale cheeks turn into red at the mention of another wedding ceremony.
"Nonsense!! Daniel's birthday is one event and a wedding ceremony is another. We have to pick a perfect time and have a lot of preparation. You can't just give Daniel an abrupt wedding." Laura burst at how his son was being inconsiderate and unromantic.
"I-It's okay. I don't mind really. I-I also want a wedding ceremony with all of you this time." Daniel squeaks, even though he and Laotian were already married, speaking about the wedding still makes him nervous. Unlike last time where there were only Laotian and Hanlu attending their registration, this time people will be on their backs. There would be more pressure than before, however, Daniel kinda wants to have a real wedding with their parents as the audience.
"No Darling, a wedding is important. We can't simply prepare that in a day. We must choose a lucky day and prepare for the location, food, suits, and guests." Laura Mo insisted.
"uhmmm," Daniel hesitated, he didn't really care about those things as long as everyone was around this time.
"It's okay. Don't worry about all that. Let mother handle it if you don't want to." Laotian whispered which earned a little nod from Daniel. Laotian didn't care as well about the details as long as Daniel was happy. Additionally, he was more than happy to have another honeymoon after the wedding.
"Darling, don't worry about a thing. Diane and I will take care of everything, all you have to do is attend and say I do." Laura Mo assured with an excited smile on her well-maintained face. And with that Daniel and Laotian's official wedding was decided along with the arising problem of choosing a date, location, food, theme, etc., Laotian and Daniel were having headaches just from listening.
"Oh how about in two months!? January 6th, I just feel like it's the best day." Laura suggested. Daniel and Laotian nodded while the Lopez couple were a little reluctant to agree.
"I think February is a good month to have a wedding," Diane suggested. Daniel and Laotian nodded again while Laura disagreed.
"February is so overrated. I would like to pick July but it's in the middle of the year. I want a wedding as soon as possible." Laura Mo said again imagining Daniel having another baby now that he's in heat again. Meanwhile Daniel and Laotian looked at each other and Daniel finally decided to pick a date.
"Uhm, if you're still not sure about the date then how about June? I think it's the perfect month since it's summer and Minmin will be big enough to start walking then." Daniel suggested softly. Laotian also nodded saying. "I'm okay with June. It's perfect." adoringly to Daniel. A month picked by his beloved wife will surely be perfect in his opinion.
"Baby, That's amazing! Jonah and I are okay with June, we can't rush weddings after all." Diane approved that Laura ended up approving as well.
"Oh Okay. I guess June is fine." Laura said with a pout. The conversation lasted a couple more hours with mostly the elders talking about the other details.
The trial earlier in the morning immediately disappeared on their minds and all that's left was the upcoming grand birthday celebration the next day and the grand wedding ceremony that was set on the 8th of June the next year.
Daniel and Laotian silently listened at the side and would occasionally reply or suggest if needed. Tian Zi also remained silent busy on his phone this time while Hanlu continued to play with Luangmin at the far side. It was really just a simple celebration with only champagne to drink but it was peaceful and pleasant.
