Chapter 1063 - The Reason Why Rose Doesnt Call (1/2)

Rune couldn't focus on his dinner. He also didn't have an appetite. London and L who were hoping to distract him from his sadness by talking about their family and the upcoming events for the holiday finally gave up and let him be.

They discussed Finland's and L's pregnancies. They predicted that L would give birth in spring and Finland would give birth in summer. Both husbands were so excited about the new addition to their families and were exchanging tips and support.

”I can't wait for our year-end holiday together,” Caspar commented. ”Next year we will have two new family members.”

”Who knows.. maybe Uncle Lauriel and Rosalien will have a kid too next year?” London responded. ”They will have a spring wedding, right?”

Caspar rubbed his chin. He didn't know if Loriel or Rosalien wanted children. Loriel already had two sons from his late fiancee and he loved them to bits, but when Luna was pregnant, he was not expecting to have children and that was the reason why Luna left him.

However, maybe things had changed now? Gosh.. Caspar needed to meet Loriel again talked to him. They had not met for a long time.

”Do you think Lauriel wants children?” Caspar turned to Rune who was sipping his wine absentmindedly. The young man was zoning out because the conversation at the dining table was around babies and weddings.

He was reminded of his own failure. He, too, would love to get married and have children, now that he had found the woman to anchor his heart.

However, if the woman didn't want the same thing and preferred to be with another man, Rune could only swallow his disappointment and stop thinking about her altogether.

”Uncle Lauriel?” Rune furrowed his brows and his mind wandered to the moment he and Lauriel had the conversation in Amazon interior about his relationship with Rosalien. It was there that Lauriel shared with Rune about his plan to marry his girlfriend of 15 years.

”Yes. You traveled with him for two weeks to Amazon. Did he say anything?” Caspar asked again. Rune shook his head.

”I can't really remember, sorry,” he said.

”Ah, it's okay. I will ask Lauriel myself,” said Caspar and he immediately changed the topic. They continued talking about the planned holiday.

Everyone always looked forward to the opportunity to gather in a complete formation since they all lived in different parts of the world and were busy with their respective lives.

As usual, they would spend it on F Island since it was located in the tropics and they could escape the cold winter for two weeks.

After dinner, Rune went to his room and told his family he needed to finish some work. Once he was alone, the man checked his phone and see if Rose had sent him a message.

There was none.

It's been twelve hours. This couldn't be a coincidence. Whatever Rose was doing with Leon, it must have ended now. If she still didn't send news to Rune, it must be intentional.

Rose didn't send Rune any message because she didn't want to.

THREE WEEKS LATER

”This is the best holiday ever,” said Altair in excitement as he rose from his seat and raised his glass. ”I am so happy to see everyone present. JM and I have an announcement to make.”

Everyone gasped in unison. After dating since they were 16, would Altair and JM finally tie the knot? It had been more than ten years and the couple seemed to be more in love than ever.

Just look at them exchanging glances with big smiles plastered on their faces!

The whole family met in F-Island as usual. This time there was a new addition to the big family. Vega gave birth to a new baby in spring this year and now both she and Mischa was holding a child in their arms. They looked the happiest they had ever been.

Altair knew from the way JM gushed about his niece and nephew all the time that his girlfriend had started to think about motherhood. So, this got him thinking of that too.

Wouldn't it be nice to have his children grow up together with Vega's adorable children? That meant, he and JM shouldn't wait for much longer.

JM had enjoyed 12 years of a fulfilling career as a model and traveled the world. She was now ready to leave behind the fast pace lifestyle and settled down somewhere nice and quiet.

Meanwhile, Altair thought he already needed to show off his wife since the tabloids kept posting fake news about him dating this model or that actress. It's time to put those gossips to rest.

That's why, he decided to talk to JM about getting married and the girl couldn't be happier.

”JM and I want to get married next year,” said Altair with a broad smile. ”We plan to hold an intimate wedding here. So, I hope you don't mind coming back here in summer.”

”No, of course, not!”

”Whoaaa.. congratulations!”

”This is amazing news!”

Everyone present clapped and congratulated the couple. Marion wiped the tears from her eyes. She couldn't believe that her Little Monkey had grown up to be a bride and would soon build her own family.

Gosh.. when did time go so fast?

JM got up from her seat and locked hands with her fiance. She turned to him and smiled broadly.

”That went well,” she whispered to him.

”That went well,” Altair replied. He kissed her lips and hugged her. ”I love you so much!”

Rune forced a smile and he sipped his wine, pretending this scene didn't make him think about Rose.

If only things had gone according to plan, Rose would have been here with him, attending his family event in F-Island. Unfortunately, fate said otherwise.
