"I bet you do." Damien replied sarcastically.
"Mother, will Vincent's bride be attending your birthday party?" Isabel asked, smiling.
"Bride? What bride? I am completely in the dark about this. Mother, what is Isabel talking about?" Vincent's brows joined in confusion, his eyes moving between his mother and sister.
"Well, it was meant to be a surprise, Vincent. Lady Anastasia has accepted your proposal of marriage," Vanessa announced, placing her fork on the table.
"What!? That is wonderful news, you should have told me the moment you found out mother, you know how long I have waited for this!" Vincent exclaimed, smiling so broadly that you could see his full set of teeth.
"I know son, we would announce your engagement at my birthday ball. A double celebration as it is." Vanessa replied with a small smile.
