Chapter 153 - Half day off... (1/2)

Next day morning…

Reuben was driving and Veronica was sitting beside him as they were heading to Creation to drop Veronica there. Both of them had a beautiful smile on their faces because of their last night decision and wonderful love making...

Veronica suddenly remembered something and said to Reuben, ”Bennie.. as we are planning to reveal about our relationship, I think we should first talk with our parents before it. So that they could also mentally prepare themselves.. ”

”Hmm.. that's a good idea.. let's call them now.” Reuben said.

”No. We can't say this over phone. Let's invite them to our home today.. I mean both of our parents.. so we would not have to describe the same thing twice and as an interest we would be able to meet them and spend some time with them..” Veronica gave an idea.

Reuben's face turned into a mischievous and naughty smile as he said, ”But the most important thing will be to see them completely shock when they would find out that we're leaving together from past few years without their knowledge..”

Veronica laughed at him and said, ”Yup... That'll be really a great fun to watch. But Mr. Smith, you better stay safe from my father's rage. He may kill you today.”

”Hey. Don't be so mean. And what's there to fear? I know your parents love me very much. And if they want grandchildren then they need to agree with us in living together.” Reuben said in a matter of fact tone.

Hearing his naughty comment, Veronica hit him on his hand and said, ”Stop saying rubbish and focus on your drive.”

Reuben pouted at her but continued to drive.

Few minutes later, they reached Creation but Veronica didn't go out from the car. They decided to call their parents to invite them right then before going to their office.

At first, Veronica called her parents or more like her dad.

”Hey my little princess.” Mr. Lopez answered the call.

”Hi... Dad, I have to ask you something.” Veronica said.

”What's it Vero?” Mr. Lopez asked being confused.

Veronica's phone was on speaker so she looked at Reuben before replying, ”Dad, can you please come to my bungalow today at the evening. Both I and Reuben have something to tell you. Reuben's parents will also come.”

Mr. Lopez heard his daughter and he knew something big was going to be announced today by her daughter and would be son-in-law, so he agreed, ”Okay. Both me and your mother would come at the evening.”

”Thanks dad. Bye now.” Veronica said happily.

”Bye princess.” Mr. Lopez said.

After Veronica's call to her parents, Reuben called at his house phone number. As his Father already gave the responsibility of Smith Enterprise to Reuben, so both Mr. and Mrs. Smith were present in their mansion.

After the phone rang, a maid picked up but when she came to know that it was their young master, she immediately informed their madam to recieve the call.

”So my dear son finally remembered that his mother is still alive.” Mrs. Smith joked as soon as the maid handed her the phone.

Reuben chuckled hearing his mother's joke and said, ”Oh Mom.. You know what,  I don't remember you at all... Because to remember someone, you need to forget her first whereas you are always stay in my mind.”

”Aww..!! My baby son seriously know how to melt his mom's heart. However what your mom want is to keep your mind thinking only about my daughter, my Veronica. By the way tell me why have you called?” Mrs. Lopez asked after teasing him a little.

”Don't worry Mom. Your daughter Veronica already occupies my heart, soul, body, mind everything. But the reason for which I have called you now, was to invite you to Veronica's bungalow today. We need to tell you something important. So bring Dad also with you and to let you know that Veronica's parents would also be there today.”

”Oh really? Finally I can see my daughter today after so many days. It's okay I and your dad will arrive there at the evening.”

”So you now are more interested to meet Ica today than me? Very well..” Reuben pretended to be angry, making Veronica laugh at him.

”Stop being jealous and cut the call. I need to prepare for today evening. Bye.” Mrs. Lopez said before hanging up the call without waiting for Reuben's response.

Reuben turned to Veronica and said, ”See.. You even snatch my parents' love from me. They adore you more than they adore me.”

Veronica grinned at him and equally teased, ”They love me more because I'm better than you. And now I've to go to office as today I'll take a half day to prepare everything for our big announcement to our parents. So you better come home early.”
