Chapter 391 - Source of our contentment... (1/2)
After a while, everything was finally done. They were making the last bits of preparations when the doorbell rang and soon they heard the voice of a middle aged man..
”Honey.. Where are you? Look, I'm already back..” The man almost shouted to let his wife know about the presence of him.
Mrs. Jones who was in the dining room, setting the table along with Lisa acknowledged the voice in a mere second and an instant smile bloomed on her lips.
Just by seeing the glow on Mrs. Jones' face, Lisa understood who was the person calling her mother-in-law from the living room.
Especially, the endearment he had used, had already confirmed the person's identity who was none other that both Andrew and Amelia's father..
More importantly, the person was the loving husband of Mrs. Jones and the head of the family, Lisa's father-in-law, Mr. Jones.
”Mom, you go and meet Dad. Meanwhile, I'll hide in our room along with Drew till everyone arrive here.” Lisa said smilingly, holding her mother-in-law's hand.
Mrs. Jones smiled brightly and walked out of the dining room with a beaming face.
Lisa too smiled and left for her room very quietly without making any kind of noise...

Living room..
As soon as Mrs. Jones entered the hall, Mr. Jones' eyes shone like some glittering stars.
”You are back, honey!” Mrs. Jones exclaimed excitedly as she hugged him tightly.
Mr. Jones too hugged her back and said, ”Yes. I'm finally back. Where is my princess by the way?”
Hearing about Amelia, Mrs. Jones' mood became sour and she replied, ”She's in her room. You can talk to her later but first go and get freshen up. The kids and our friends will be here anytime soon.”
Mr. Jones could analyse that there was something wrong with his wife but he quickly shrugged it away and replied, ”Okay.. Then, I'm going to our room. I just can't believe that I'm going to meet those little kids who are now a.d.u.l.ts after so many years...
I really missed them a lot in country M. And how can I forget about my friends! They must be here anytime. We're going to have lots of chatting and fun tonight.”
Mrs. Jones smiled and replied, ”Those kids are now so big that they have already got engaged and two of them are dating. I'm so happy for them..”
Mr. Jones too smiled and said, ”Hmm.. Seems like I have lots of things to catch up. Give me few minutes and I'll be back.”
After that both Mr. and Mrs. Jones left for their bedroom as the husband needed to take a bath while the wife needed to arrange his clothes..
