Chapter 228 Mother of the Bride
Even though Keith had a calm aura, he was nervous inside and replied smiling, “Nice to meet you, Dad. Xavier took after my father. He has an intimidating aura; I think I took after my late mother.”
Then he handed the boutique of Tulips to his mother-in-law and said, “Nice to meet you, Mom. Avery told me that Tulips are your favourite flowers.”
Mrs Evans smiled and replied, “Pleasure is mine, Son. Thank you for the flowers. I like them a lot.” Bridgette took her mother’s flowers and went to the kitchen to put them in the vases.
Prince Sam, Mrs Evans’ bodyguard, walked into the kitchen to help Bridgette. He smiled at her and whispered, “Bridge, your boyfriend is handsome.” Bridgette smiled brightly, then she asked him to carry the dishes to the dining room.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Bridgette smiled at her parents and said, “Lunch is served.” They went to the dining room to eat. Mrs looked at her son-in-law while he was eating. He was graceful and noble. The atmosphere was harmonious, and the food was delicious.
After lunch, Mr Evans looked at his wife and said, “My lovely wife, please keep our daughter company, I want to have a word with our son-in-law in the study room.” Then he asked Keith to follow him.
They sat on the sofa and his father-in-law said, “I am not going to make things difficult for you, Son. I give you my blessing to marry my daughter. Also, I am happy that my daughter has found someone she loves.”
Keith looked at his father-in-law and said, “Thank you, Dad. I promise that I will treat Bridgette as a treasure. My father asked me to give you this letter.
Also, the Taylor Group will be having its 50th Anniversary Gala on the 23rd of March. We would be happy if you could come.” Then he gave his father-in-law the letter and the Taylor Group 50th Anniversary Gala invitation card.
Half an hour later, Mr Evans and his son-in-law walked to the living room laughing. Mrs Evans and her daughter stood up when they saw them coming. They had a bright smile on their faces.
Mr Evans looked at his wife and said, “Honey, let’s leave the children alone.” Suzie smiled at her husband, then they went to their bedroom. Her husband told her about the letter, then he handed the letter to his wife to read.
Suzie was smiling from ear to ear and said, “My son-in-law is very handsome. I like him a lot.” She took the letter from her husband and started reading.
Her husband was dumbfounded when he heard that the Taylor family would be visiting them on Sunday for betrothal gifts. Suzie was beside herself with excitement.
She would invite all her relatives who were laughing at her daughter for being a spinster. She was so happy that she cried tears of joy. Paul’s heart ached when he saw his beloved wife crying.
He wiped her tears and said, “Why are you crying, my love? You are going to be a stunning mother of the bride, and we will walk our beloved daughter down the aisle together.”
Suzie hugged her husband tightly and replied, “Hubby, my heart is full of gratitude to the Lord for blessing us with a son. I am so happy for our daughter.”
In the living room, Keith looked at Bridgette with eyes full of love and said, “You are so beautiful, and I love you so much, my future wife.
The good Lord has used my nephew and my niece-in-law for us to meet. Otherwise, we might have missed each other.”
Bridgette smiled shyly at Keith and replied, “I was surprised when Avery told me that she wanted to introduce me to the Taylor family since I raised her. Unbeknownst to me, it was a set-up from the Lord.”
Keith looked at Bridgette with gentleness in his eyes and said, “I don’t believe in long-distance relationships, and I want what we have to work. I will call the higher-ups and apply for a transfer back home.
My family will be visiting your family on Sunday for betrothal gifts. Do you mind if we register for our marriage next Monday?”
Bridgette was surprised when she heard Keith indicate that he would apply for a transfer because she thought he would ask her to move to Gauteng. Her heart felt warmth and she felt loved.
She smiled sweetly at him and replied, “I am looking forward to being your wife, my handsome Keith.”
Keith was beside himself with excitement. He looked at his future wife’s smiling face; he couldn’t take his eyes off her. His future wife was stunning. He was counting his blessings and thanking the Lord for His loving-kindness towards him.
Keith never thought that he would ever fall in love in his life. No one had touched his heart the way Bridgette had. He started imagining his life with his beloved wife and their little bun.
At the Martins residence, Aunt Elizabeth was in the living room with her precious niece, Lily. She looked at her niece smiling brightly and said, “I found the Private Investigator for Avery’s matter.
He has charged me with an arm and a leg, but it doesn’t matter as long as we find the truth about her husband. Your uncle has refused to tell me anything about Avery’s husband.
I even asked Aiden to investigate the matter, but he came back empty-handed. Honestly, I didn’t expect anything from him because he had never achieved anything. He is good for nothing, and he is too weak.”
Lily smiled brightly when she heard her aunt’s words and replied, “That’s great news, Auntie. We don’t want any surprises at the Gala. Tiffany regrets coming between Jordan and Avery because Jordan is a pauper.
She told me that she wished she had listened to her father when he told her to chase the Taylor family heir. I heard that he is wealthy, and he is handsome as a painting. I am not sure if it is true or not.
Also, Tiffany’s mother doesn’t like Jordan. She has been asking her to cancel the engagement since the Bennet family moved to the Spencer residence. I am just hoping that Tiffany will keep her part of the deal.”
Lily was genuinely worried. What if Tiffany dumped Jordan at the altar? She silently prayed in her heart that the wedding would go without a hitch.
