Chapter 757 - Ill always be there for you (1/2)

Standing right outside his room, Ben scooped Clara into his arms, making her squeal in surprise.

Looking around, she slapped his shoulder and chuckled, ”What are you doing Ben? What if someone sees us like this?”

”What? Can't I even carry my wife? You know uncle Singtan used to carry aunt Ming anywhere and anytime he wanted to without caring about anything else. I haven't even seen dad carry mom that many times,” Ben chuckled.

Hooking her arms around his neck, she smiled, ”Thank you much for giving me a real family.”

”Well, only a simple verbal thank you is not enough, I need something else.”

”Hmm, all I have is me,” she added.

Kissing her forehead, Ben smiled, ”It's more than enough for me and I'll never get enough of you.”

Clara smiled and buried her head on his neck. All the years of suffering had finally come to end. She had married the love of her life and was officially a part of such a wonderful family. She had nothing to complain and be sad about.

”So is my beautiful wife ready to check out her room?” Without waiting for her reply, he added, ”Mom has also asked you and Flora to redesign our dull rooms into something which you think is perfect. All you have to do is roughly tell the person in charge how you want the room to look like and everything will be taken care of.”

When Clara smiled and nodded her head, Ben stepped into the room.

….

Living room.

”What? You are leaving?” Without waiting for her reply, Ming sighed, ”Why do you have to go? Is it important? Can't you just stay?”

Holding Ming's hand, Elsa said, ”I am very grateful to you aunt Ming, you have taken care of me like a mother does. The amount of love and affection I got from everyone here is so overwhelming and I feel so lucky.”

”Then why are you leaving? At least stay until the wedding. We have been planning so many things together for months now, you should at least stay until the wedding,” Ming insisted.

”Mom is right Elsa, you must attend our wedding,” Yumi added.

”I—”

Cutting Elsa off, Ashton said, ”Elsa needs to catch a flight in the evening and someone from her family is here to take her with him.”

Not left with anything other choice, Ming sighed and gave her a hug. ”I'll miss you so much, I really wanted you to stay with us.”

”We all will miss you Elsa and you must stay in touch okay?” Yumi insisted before giving her a hug.

”I will.”

”Lunch is ready,” Singtan called everyone.

After everyone left for lunch, Ashton sighed and slumped on the couch. The feeling of losing Elsa was killing him and there was nothing he could do. He didn't want to forcibly stop her from leaving when she genuinely wanted to leave. She had already suffered alot and now when finally everything was over, he wanted her to live her life the way she wanted. He didn't wish to come in between her dreams and make things difficult for her.

Sitting down beside Ash, Ming placed her hand on his shoulder. ”Are you okay Ash?”

”Yeah, I am good.”

Patting his head, she said, ”Come, let's have lunch.”
