Chapter 184 - NOW OR NEVER... (1/2)
Mr. Smith got up from his chair and raised his glass in the air together with Mr. Lopez as both of them clank their glasses together, cheering with extreme joy, ”Congratulations to the new couple for the new step in their committed life..”
The rests also clanked their glasses and shouted together, ”Congratulations to the new couple..”
While everyone one was busy congratulating them, Reuben was smiling widely like a idiot whereas Veronica was utterly embarrassed and shy because of their parents' overexcitement..
”Are you being shy now honey?” Reuben whispered in her ears seeing her red cheeks.
”Shut up Bennie..” Veronica glared at him making Reuben chuckle.
Now again started the show off about their children by the parents as Mr. Smith said, ”Look our daughter and son are so much happy with each other. They are so compatible and cute..”
Mr. Lopez also joined him, ”Yes.. Look how affectionate they are towards each other. They are such a romantic and lovely couple.”
As they were having a overactive drama, Henry's father couldn't bear the torment of his friends who were keeping on boasting about their children as he suddenly spoke, ”Henry, when are you bringing a sweet daughter in law for our family?”
Henry was having some drinks when his father asked him such a question, so he couldn't do anything with the sudden blurt up but choke on his own drink, coughing like a crazy..
”Uncle.. I think Henry already found a daughter in law for you. Isn't it right Henry?” Reuben asked him in a teasing manner.
Henry glared at him and told him to close his mouth, ”Shut up, you fool!! Otherwise I'll kill you...”
Whereas Reuben didn't give a damn to his threat and smirked mischievously whereas Veronica just shook her head at her boyfriend's craziness..
”Really son? Did you really find the girl of your dreams?” Henry's mother asked excitedly.
Louis who was sitting beside him , mumbled in his ears, ”Bro it's the only time you could reveal about relationship without stammering as all are very much happy about my bro.. So just spill it. Just remember one thing.. NOW OR NEVER..”
Lucinda also looked at Henry and held his hand in her own. Henry turned his face to her and said in a very gentle yet comforting voice, ”Lucy... Don't listen to his rubbish. I know you're still not ready to reveal about us. If you need some more time, I'll wait. Don't worry.”
Feeling very lucky to get such an awesome man who cared for her, Lucinda smiled and replied, ”I also want to let our parents know about us Henry. And today is the best time for it.”
Henry was jumping in joy inside his heart that his love was ready to accept the relationship to their parents and other elders who were also very close to them, so he quickly squeezed her hands with his before giving her a breathtaking smile.
All the youngsters were looking at them and when they felt their gaze, they glanced at them and in return all of them gave them an assuring smile to let them know that whatever the couple would decide, they would be always with them like a supporting system..
Returning the smile towards their friends, Henry asked in a low voice, ”Are you ready babe?”
