Little by little, everything for the wedding was falling into place. Thankfully, they managed to sort out all the details before Christmas, which was a relief for the couple.
During those days, Deborah received a message from Elliot, asking her to visit the company because the special rings they had ordered were ready.
“You know, remembering his previous designs, I’m really excited to see what he’s done for us,” Jayden said as they drove to the Peterson company.
“I’ll be happy with whatever he’s made, even if it’s just a simple ring,” Deborah replied.
“Aww… That’s why I love you. Hey, since we’re here, why don’t we check out some other jewelry for you to wear on our big day?”
“But you can only buy one thing.”
“Huh? What? Why?” Jayden pouted.
“Because, according to your mom and Caroline, it’s part of the tradition.”
“Huh?”
“For the wedding day, the bride must wear something new, something blue, something borrowed, and something old,” Deborah said.
“Oh… right. I think I heard that somewhere. But that means…”
“I’ll wear my mom’s favorite bracelet as the old item, Caroline will give me something blue, and your mom insisted on lending me something as the borrowed item.”
“I see, so that leaves the new item.”
“Yes, although I was thinking of buying myself a necklace or a choker, because your mom said she’d give me some earrings.”
“I think I know which ones she’ll give you,” Jayden said, recalling his mother’s favorite jewelry. “Well, in that case, darling, let me have the honor of giving you a beautiful necklace to wear as your new item.”
“Alright.”
“Oh…” James suddenly let out a noise.
“You’ll help me choose it, right?” Jayden asked him, laughing.
“I think he said yes,” Deborah replied, laughing as well.
They continued chatting as they arrived at the company. Upon entering, they were quickly directed to the executive elevator to meet George and Elliot.
“Oh…”
“Yes, we’re going to see Grandpa,” Deborah said, noticing the excitement in her son as the elevator
moved.

“Gaa…”
“Welcome,” Fabian greeted them as they exited the elevator. “Come in, they’re expecting you.”
“Oh…” The little one waved his hands in greeting.
“And hello to you too, James,” the redhead commented.

Deborah and Jayden smiled as they walked into the office, where the others were already waiting for
them.
“Welcome, come in,” George greeted them.
“James!” Elliot ran over to hug the little one.
“Oh…” James waved his hands and kicked his feet excitedly as his uncle embraced him.
“Wow, you’re getting heavy!” Elliot said happily.
“So, how’s your new position as CEO going?” Jayden asked as they took their seats, watching Elliot bring James over to greet his grandfather.
“Everything’s calm since I got used to it during that practice period. It does feel a bit more weighty now that my signature is the final say,” Elliot said, settling his nephew next to him. “But Dad still comes in to support me, which I appreciate.”
“I’ve gotten used to the company again, and it keeps me from feeling so lonely,” George added, playing with James‘ hands.
“Well, here it is,” Elliot said cheerfully, pulling a black velvet box from his jacket pocket.
“Ah…” James tried to grab the box but couldn’t reach it.
“This isn’t for you, but this is,” Elliot said, picking up a stress ball from the desk and handing it to him.
James squealed with delight as he squeezed the ball and watched it return to its original shape, his laughter filling the room.
“You spoil him too much,” Jayden commented.
“Well, I did say I’d become his favorite uncle,” Elliot replied with a grin.
Deborah smiled as she and Jayden opened the velvet box, marveling at their new wedding rings.
The rings had a butterfly wing pattern made of tiny colored diamonds, which formed a butterfly when the rings were joined together.
“Wow….it’s beautiful,” Deborah exclaimed as she admired the design.
