Chapter 34 - 34. My Soul Will Also Be Dead… (1/2)

Suddenly, the hall was burst into laughter…..

Mr. Lopez got up from his sofa, trying to control his breathing after the huge laughter and stood beside his friend, ”You really know your son the best, Logan..” Mr. Lopez said holding his laughter.

”Told you already that he will exactly behave like this. Hahahaha….” Mr. Smith burst out in laughter again.

”Stop bullying him now both of you.” Veronica's mother, Jessica said giving a chuckle.

”Like father, like son...” Reuben's mother, Victoria shook her head at her husband's teasing.

Reuben looked at each and everyone and glared at them, ”You guys planned all of it to tease me, right?”

”Yes.. we really planned it to show your future in laws that how overprotective can a man of Smith's family be about their woman. And I must tell you that you really had impressed me, my son. You should always be like this protective over your own girl...”

”I know dad. I'll always protect her from everything.” Reuben claimed confidently.

Mr. Lopez patted his shoulder and said, ”Then I really don't have any tension about my daughter. After all, she is now in your hand.”

Reuben nodded at his future in-laws and said honestly, ”Don't worry uncle. She is my life and if something happens to her, my soul will also be dead.” He looked down at the woman in his embrace, whose eyes were turning watery and then he kissed her eyes.

All the elders saw these couple's affection towards each other and felt a relief and calmness inside their heart as they smiled...

To change the serious atmosphere into a funny one, Mr. Smith blabbered out, ”But princess, always remember my last statement... that there are more suitable man for you than this brat.. I mean if you want to find anyone else as your future husband..” He winked at Veronica.

”Dad….” Reuben gritted his teeth.

”Okay. Now stop everyone. Dinner is ready. Let's eat first.” Veronica's father, James prohibited the father-son from starting third world war..

After their dinner, the couple distribute the gifts that they had prepared for their parents and all the parents were very happy with the thoughtfulness of their children and blessed them.

The Lopez couple then brought out a box which had a 'Pamerai Radiomir' watch and gifted it to Reuben. It is a famous and one of the most expensive brand for watches. The watch was very beautiful. It is a brown leather watch which was gold plated and the dial has a rare diamond in it.
