Chapter 67: Our wedding date.
After the surprise from everyone, the two pair walked in as Maxson supported her in walking by holding her hand.
"Joan! What took you so long to delay your Elders here?".Grandpa Liam chastened his granddaughter.
"We are so sorry Grandpa, we don't mean to keep you all waiting". Maxson quickly explained the situation.
"Hmph!". Grandpa Liam made a grumpy sound.
"Alright, since everyone is here, let's discuss the matter arising". Grandpa Sky said.
Arthur watched the melodic drama organized by his young cousin, he wondered if it was stupidity to keep many people waiting just because of his annoying presence with his girlfriend.
"Grandpa Liam, when would you like us to organize the children's wedding?". Mark asked with smile, he wanted to go along with the old man.
Grandpa Sky was satisfied with the way his son organized the statement. Morever, asking for his suggestion before the Silver family.
"Also, we would love to apologize for what our son Maxson did. We promise to take good care of your granddaughter and be responsible for everything concerning her". Mark added to his statement.
Just as Mark spoke, Maxson postrated before Grandpa Liam and apologize. "I promise to do all as stated Grandpa. I'll take responsibility for her and our baby". With a sincere heart, he closed his eyes and said.
Thinking Grandpa Liam would still get mad, to everyone's shock, he immediately acknowledged Maxson as his son-in-law. "It fine, stand up dear. I also want to thank you for forgivng Joan. I heard everything you two talked about yesterday, I never knew it was that way. Thank you for giving us a chance". Tears almost streamed down his old face.
"Yes Grandpa". The old man stood up and assisted Maxson to rise.
He hugged him and entrusted his lovely granddaughter to him.
"Thank you Grandpa". Joan who was already crying said.
The people standing went back to their seat. "I'm okay with any date chosen for their wedding". Grandpa Liam declared.
"We would let the couple decide then". Charlotte was overwhelmed with gladness, she said with enthusiastic.
This was one of her sons getting married, why won't she be happy?
Everyone agreed to what she had said, they all smiled and laughed as they went to the dinning room which was already set with dishes.
.........
Leaving the Scott's mansion, Mia followed her son to his company. She was really free today and needed someone to talk to.
Though, Arthur doesn't have any choice than to allow her do her things. He always love to talk brief and not like his mum used to.
"Seeing the drama displayed in that family, I'm regretting marrying someone from there" Mia raised her concern.
Arthur watched her threw her bag on his office desk, just to make sure he talks.
"You should know their personalities already". He replied her briefly.
"I know, that is why I want us to plug them out on time. You keep delaying things beyond my expectations".
In the large spacious office, the sun shone into the room making it look more extravagant. The mother reminsced about the merits she would get after all the calamities she forseened plaguing her enemies.
"Mum, when are you leaving? I have somethings to do". The son stated.
Mia searched his desk, she opened his drawer, looking for nothing.
"Hmm, whose lipstick is this?". She brought out a lipstick from the drawer.
"Mum, I use it sometimes when...". He couldn't finish his words.
"Use it for? A red lipstick?". She smiled, looking at him strangely. "Well, be careful of women, they can be very deceitful and trustful. Be wise son!" She put back the lipstick into the drawer and left his office.
.........
Noon...
Aria waited even after the family had finished dining. She spent some time with her two sister-in-law, parents and grandparents.
She was so happy for Maxson since he just secured the love to his life. She could see how happy he was as he kept looking at her face.
Just about leaving the mansion, she received Duncan's call, trying to pick her from her place.
"No, don't bother. Though I brought my car along with me, just come and pick me at my family's mansion". She instructed him.
"Alright, I am on my way".
..........
"What about going to play games?". Duncan asked Aria.
"Yeah, that's fine by me. I really love playing games, especially video games with my brothers when we were so young". She narrated little of her childhood life.
"So why not still playing now?". Concerned about her, he asked.
"Everyone now has their focus. It is only once a while I play with Maxson. Now that he is about to get married, I won't have anyone to play with again". She looked sad, thinking she would be left alone.
"It fine, I'll always be there for you. I promise". Duncan touched his chest as he vowed.
"Hmm?" With amazement, her face looked cute and happy.
"Thanks so much".
Aria wasn't expecting his care about the video games, she thought he saw it as something useless.
"I'm sure he understands the feeling of home and childhood". .....
...........
The beach water looks so translucent and clear. There were few people at the location when Scott and Flora got there.
She took his hands and sat on the floor. "I feel like having you here like dessert". Sqcott said licking his lips.
Flora shyed away, blushing under the cool sky. She wore a beautiful pink bikini as Scott changed his position and come to sit at her back.
"You mean it?". She purposely asked.
"Yes of course my queen". He answered proudly.
"You shouldn't be that serious honey, because I almost ate you up too". She quickly stood up and ran away while laughing.
"Come back here". Scott ran after her and laughed.
The couple played for a long time. They ordered various desserts and snacks.
Scott kept on looking at her body shape, the cliffhangers left for him to decide and the ambiguous imagination turning him wild.
Tonight would be so different he believes.
