The wedding took place at a private villa overlooking the Tamsui River. It wasn't the massive, political circus Benjamin had once planned. It was intimate, filled with flowers and their closest friends who had flown in from Malaysia.
During the reception, the bartender approached the head table. "What can I get for the bride and groom?"
Kenneth looked at Nicole, a mischievous glint in his eyes. Nicole laughed, leaning her head on his shoulder as Aria slept in a nearby stroller.
"Two glasses of Long Island Tea," Nicole said, her eyes sparking. "But this time... make them extra strong. We have a lot of lost time to make up for."
Kenneth kissed her, the taste of salt and sweetness lingering on his lips—the taste of a second chance that had finally become a reality.
