By the time Marianne woke up it was already 6pm in the evening .
Marianne widened her eye in shock ,she looked at Raymond who was still sleeping heavily ,and roughly pushed him. Raymond wake up we are late for the dinner party.
Raymond who had already adjusted his mood ,he slowly opened his eyes slowly and said. What happened.
Marianne felt the urge to punch him. She jumped out if the bed and said. We are late.
Lazily getting out if bed Raymond said. Relax it's just a family gathering nothing else.
Marianne rolled her eyes at him and said. A family get together ,today is the first day I am meeting them and I have already made a wrong impression of myself.
Ahhh! What am I going to do now.
Raymond looked at her and smiled . It is normal for newly married couples like us to spend some quality time together . Mum and the rest won't mind , instead they will happy that they will be expecting a grandchild soon.
Marianne looked at him in shock and said. But we-"
Raymond rubbed her hair and said.onky we know that ,they don't know that ,they think we are like every normal couple.
Get ready I am going to freshen up ,he said and grabbed a towel and headed to the bathroom.
Marianne nodded and walked towards the wardrobe. She picked out an off shoulder jumpsuit and picked out a causal T shirt and back pants for Raymond.
...
When Raymond came out of the bathroom , Marianne walked towards the bathroom and said. Wear these and go downstairs first I will be there shortly.
Raymond turned and looked at the clothes neatly folded on the bed. He smiled and picked up the clothes but before he left to the dressing room, he said. Don't worry I will wait for you.
Marianne nodded her head and closed the door .
...
When Marianne and Raymond came downstairs. The elders had already arrived . Marianne looked around saw new faces that she had never seen before ,and they were all smiling at her.
There they are ,Jashwill who was playing a game looks up and said.
Ahhh, what took you so long Nicole walked over and asked.
Raymond looked at his mum and said. Well mum ,we we-"
Nicky what is wrong with you , don't you know that it is normal for newly married couples ,seems like you don't want a grandchild soon. A beautiful woman spoke.
Nicole laughed and Turned to her and said. Patty I want to ,I really want to be come a grandmother.
Marianne widened her eye in shock and said. Mum ,we were just having an afternoon nap.
Yes, yes You can have as many afternoon nap as you want ,as long as it results to a grandchild I really don't mind.
Marianne ,looked at Raymond and glared at him.
Raymond saw Marianne's deadly gaze ,he decided to change the topic.
He walked up to the relatives with Marianne and greeted. Grandpa Lucas Raymond greeted.

Raymond nodded and turned to Marianne. Marianne understood what he meant and repeated. Grandpa ,she said in a sweet voice.
Haha ,good child you really look beautiful , Raymond you have a good eye.
Raymond smiled and took Marianne to where his uncle and aunty was ,He said. Uncle amity , Auntie Patricia.
Marianne smiled and repeated the same thing.
Smith ,who was cold and aloof just nodded and didn't say much. While Patricia stood up and went over to hug Marianne.
Oh ,dear Nicky has told me alit about you ,and today I have finally seen that with my own two eyes. You really look beautiful.
Marianne smiled and thanked her. She was just like Nicole ,but more lively.
Then Raymond pulled Marianne to a girl about the same age as her and said in a old tone. Do you thi k that you are queen and you expect me to greet you.
Anabelle looked up and smiled cheekily at Raymond. Brother ray you know I was just expecting you to talk to me.
Raymond didn't say anything and snorted.
Anabelle stood up and hugged him , Brother ray ,I am sorry about what happened you know I didn't mean to it was all Jashwill's revenge.

Anabelle know that he didn't want to talk about it because he knew his wife would laugh at him . She grinned and turned to Marianne and hugged her. Sister in-law ,I finally meet you.
Marianne smiled and hugged her back. I was also looking forward to meeting you, at least I have an ally now.
Hahahaha that's right , and come to think of it I think I will stay here until the party ends.
No ,you will go back with auntie and uncle today. Raymond said afraid that Anabelle would expose his secret. The secret only her and Jashwill knew.
Anabelle didn't say anything and just looked at Marianne with a cute face.
Marianne who couldn't refuse her cuteness smiled and nodded.
