Chapter 184 - NOW OR NEVER... (2/2)

Lucinda just nodded her head in acceptance and both of them stood up suddenly from their seats making all the elders gaze at them with a questioning expression..

”Mom.. Dad.. we want to say something to you.” Henry announced with a firm voice but he was literally shivering from inside out of nervousness..

Same was happening to Lucinda as her hands were sweating very much but she had full trust in her boyfriend.

”What is it Henry? Is anything serious?” Lucinda's father asked becoming a little suspicious as he saw that alongside Henry, his precious daughter had also stood up with him..

Lucinda didn't reply her father and took a deep breath to calm her nerves and finally getting the confidence she did such an unpredicted action that even the youngsters also looked at her with widened eyes….

But what had she done??

Well, Lucinda just intertwined her fingers with Henry's fingers under the table very tightly and within a fraction of second, she raised their joined hands into the air in front of everyone and declared, ”Dad, Mom, Uncle, Aunty… We are dating..”

A loud gasp left from everyone's mouth because that was very much uncertain to them to believe..

Even Henry was also completely dumbstrucked at her bold behavior...

”Are you serious?” Henry's father asked coming out of the shock.

Henry looked at his father with a smile on his face when Louis nudged him in his waist to break him out from his trance and said, ”Yes Dad. We're serious. She is my girlfriend and your soon to be daughter-in-law..”

Mr. Wilson just kept staring at his daughter in rage and barked out loudly, ”How could you betray me like this Lucy? I have always loved you like the most precious gem of mine.. And you are giving me this hypocrisy in return?”

Lucinda was completely shocked with the sudden outburst of her father and tears started to stream down from her eyes when she heard her father's hurtful words, ”Dad.. I wanted to tell…”

”Stop it Lucinda. I don't want to hear anything from you.” Lucinda's father shouted angrily, making everyone present there to get surprised because of his furious action as he never had shouted on anyone specially when it was his own daughter..

”Dad... Please listen to me.” Lucinda pleaded as more tears came out from her eyes as Henry hugged her by her shoulder.

”Uncle, if you have to scold someone then I'm here. Don't yell at her please. It's not her fault at all. We just fell in love eventually. Please Uncle, don't shout on her. I can't bear to see her tears.” Henry said with a stern face but still in a pleading tone..

Neil was watching everything from the start but hadn't made any noise or comment until then and enjoyed the show that was playing in front of him..

But when he saw that everything was going overboard, he stood up from his chair and said in a bored yet dominating voice, ” Dad.. It's already enough. Now stop your overacting..”
