Never to look back Meet the family (2)
“Ahem… ahem…” Adam cleared his throat and gave Christopher a look prompting him to speak.“Dad, this is Emile.”“I am not senile yet.” Adam snorted as he sat back.“Son, we know she is Emile.” Elizabeth pursed her lips that were curling up as she added in ridicule “I don’t think we can forget even if we turn senile after hearing it for the past ten years.”Emile lowered her head. She wished she could dig a hole and disappear; the giggling sounds of her to-be- sisters-in-law weren’t making her feel any better.“We know she is Emile. We know that you love her. We know that she didn’t like you.” Ericson took the baton for teasing from his parents.“We know that she is now divorced, and you threw all the big and small work at me, drowning my life and ran away from home.” Mark too joined in the fun.“…..and made the already non-existent time with our dad for me and my siblings disappear.” Miles jumped in to say his 2 cents worth as well.“Stop teasing” Veronica laughed “Otherwise the girl

Mark called for the waiters to bring breakfast over once everyone moved on from the sensitive topic of discussion. The staff arrived promptly and started serving a sumptuous breakfast. Everyone including Darcy started eating without waiting for Eva and Amanda to get back; It would be more apt to say that no one missed them.“How long are you staying?” Christopher asked once breakfast was out of the way.“If you are getting married within the week. We will stay back.” Elizabeth had a naughty smile on her face before it faded and she pouted with a sad expression “If not, we will leave in the afternoon.”Christopher rolled his eyes at his mom’s pathetic acting, but the truth was gullible Emile fell for it.“Auntie why don’t you stay back for at least a day or two?” Emile tried to persuade “Won’t it be tiring to travel without resting?”Elizabeth pursed her lips with a feigned difficult expression.“I need to talk to my folks… I cannot get married without their blessing this time; I have

“What so funny?” Emile and Christopher walked in as Abbey was laughing her head off.“Boss” Night Wing stood up with a curious expression.“Mom and Dad are here with the rest.” How could Chrsitopher not know what Night Wing wanted to ask.“What?” Abbey’s mouth was open wide, enough to fit a golf ball. She turned to look at Emile anxiously but relaxed after seeing her carefree attitude. “How was it?”“They are very nice.” Emile smiled.“So???????” Abbey dragged the syllable by raising her eyebrows in a taunting manner.“We are officially together.” Emile smiled happily as she held Christopher’s hand contrary to his expectation. Christopher thought that Emile would be shy and was ready to make the announcement, but he didn’t get the chance. Emile stole his thunder…... Even so, his face lit up like a 1000-watt bulb.“Wow!!” Abbey cheered as she jumped up and hugged Emile. She was so happy…. Happy that Emile could have her happily ever after.“What next?” Abbey asked after their emotions

The gynecologist, Dr Chesterfield, was an experienced lady in her early sixties. She patiently explained all the test results followed by all the dos and don’ts. Christopher listened studiously; He recorded what the doctor said on his phone.He even double and triple checked with the doctor about the food she could eat, the things she could and couldn’t do. Dr Chesterfield also didn’t show any impatience and patiently explained no matter how many times Christopher asked.“Stop asking.” Emile tugged Christopher’s hands in embarrassment.“It’s fine.” Dr Chesterfield laughed good naturedly “This is how a responsible husband should be.”“Doctor, I forgot to ask, how many months?” Emile asked shyly.“You don’t know?” Dr Chesterfield’s eyes widened in surprise.Both Christopher and Emile shook their heads wh: Emile mumbled softly “I didn’t even know I was pregnant till 2 days ago.”“That’s truly rare.” Dr Chesterfield continued seeing the couple's confused gaze “Usually people show signs

Christopher woke Emile while Night Wing was responsible for getting Abbey to the door.“Baby, let’s go for our last activity for this holiday.” Christopher stood at the door with a doting smile as he looked at the sleepy woman who was pouting in dissatisfaction although his heart was filled with anxiety and anticipation.“Is it even morning?” Emile asked as she rubbed her eyes.“Soon…. Let’s hurry. Abbey is waiting at the front entrance.” Christopher lied without blushing.Night Wing didn’t have Christopher’s patience. He knocked on the door and walked in without waiting to be invited in and sat down impolitely “Hurry up or we will go without you.”“You dare?” Abbey growled before rushing into her room to change without thinking. In her defense, she wasn’t fully awake; otherwise, she would have retorted “who wants you to wait. I will go with Emile.”Soon they were all seated in the complimentary ride from Celestial tours and heading towards the airport. Although both the ladies were cu

The smile on Emile’s face lingered even after they reached back at the hotel. She sat in a daze as she watched Christopher busy himself with packing both his and her stuff while Night Wing went to complete the checkout procedures. Abbey didn’t have anything to do as she had already packed the day before, so she brought all her luggage and sat with Emile on the sofa showing off all the pictures she had taken in the morning. Emile however wasn’t paying any attention; she was still sitting with a silly smile following Christopher with her gaze. “Am I dreaming?” Emile whispered in a low voice to Christopher once they got in the car. Both of them were sitting in the back seat while Abbey was sitting in the passenger seat. “Does it hurt?” She asked as she pinched Christopher without waiting for him to respond to her previous question. “Um” Christopher nodded with a doting smile as he looked at the silly expression. “Does that mean we are really engaged?” Emile kept smiling. “Um… too la

Everyone sat huddled cosily in the lounge area discussing their plans after the ruckus quietened down. Abbey didn’t feel out of place at all, even though she was sitting in the background without making any contributions; the Walters made sure of that.Adam and Elizabeth wanted to get back immediately considering Lan’s condition was severe and so after discussing for more than an hour they decided that all the family members other than Christopher and group would head back tomorrow. They decided to go on a tour of their winery after lunch in order to spend some quality time with everyone.While everyone was discussing what their travel plans downstairs, upstairs-“What do you think you are doing?” Eva spoke sharply as soon as they entered the room and closed the door; the charming affectionate smile that she had plastered on, was nowhere to be seen.“Auntie… I…” Mandy lowered her head. She didn’t know what to say. She didn’t expect her aunt to question her harshly; she expected her au

After lunch, the butler announced that the hostess for their winery tour would arrive in an hour and a half. Everyone dispersed to their rooms for getting ready. Christopher led Emile and Abbey to his private apartment within the manor. The Manor had into seven private apartments, one for each member and guest apartments to hosting events. Each private apartment had five bedrooms, lounge, kitchen and dining area complete with a private garden. “I will go with Chris, since we are of the same age group. It will be more fun for everyone.” Amanda stood up to follow Christopher. “I have told you several times to call me Christopher.” Christopher’s steps paused as he turned around to face Amanda “Also, we are not of the same age group and it is not convenient for me and my fiancée.” “Hymph” Amanda pouted as she pointed at Abbey “Well, isn’t she coming.” “She is my guest… I decide where she stays.” Christopher pursed his lips in displeasure before turning to Darcy “Second brother, would y

Never to look back We will set everything right after this wedding.
Almost all the guests in the hotel woke up in the wee hours of the morning as they had all arrived to participate in the youngest Mr Walter’s wedding. All of them without exception were filled with excitement regardless of the reason for their excitement.No one knew the exact location of the venue, as other than Mossel Bay, there were no details of the venue. All they knew or were told when they asked for location details was that transportation for them to be taken to the venue was arranged for everyone attending the wedding.Cars were lined up one behind the other, at the hotel entrance, picking up the guests as they arrived at the entrance and heading for the venue. Daniel, Emile and Christian lined up at the back of the line as they arrived.“What are you looking for?” Emile asked in confusion as she saw Daniel looking around.“Grandpa is here too. I was looking to see if he was around.” Daniel shrugged “He could come in the same car as us.”George: “Boss, shall I ask around?”“N

Daniel arrived in Mossel Bay with Emile and Chris Jnr after midnight and was surprised to see that despite being a small airport with the least traffic, they were functioning effectively in an orderly manner without the slightest panic or error; their flight was probably the last or one of the last to land.It didn’t take them long to clear customs and immigration; Daniel and George went over to get the luggage while Emile and Chris Jnr waited in a quiet corner.“What mischief are you up to this time?” Emile pinched Chris Jnr’s ears gently as she questioned, once she noted that Daniel had walked away, away from their range of activity.“No…. nothing…” Chris Jnr stuttered with a pink face as he tried to free himself from the empress’s claws.“Hymph” Emile hmphed unhappily as she turned away; Out the corner of her eyes, she saw Daniel was coming back.“What did you do to upset your mommy?” Daniel questioned him as soon as he came in front of them. He had seen Emile pinching Chris Jnr’s

Marcus had the easiest job although it looked like it was the hardest; He had planned to recruit all his cousins to help him convince his family to travel to Mossel Bay however all his plans were futile as everyone was packed and ready to set off as he reached home.“Dad, where are you going?” Marcus asked in shock as he saw all the suitcases packed and lined up in the foyer of the outdoor porch at the main entrance. His heart sank as he thought about his herculean task.“I am going to attend my youngest brother’s wedding.” Darcy chuckled before offering “You can come with us, if you don’t want to miss your little uncle’s wedding.”“How did you know?” Marcus puckered his lips as he glared resentfully at his heartless father who stole his thunder.“Chee!” Darcy sneered as he rolled his eyes in disdain without even bothering to glorify the resentment with an answer.“Son, where are you going?” Mark asked with a helpless expression as he saw Marcus walking in the direction of Darcy’s vil
Never to look back How can we attend without an invite?
Meanwhile, at the manor on the south coast-“Little master” Night Sonic walked out of his post in the shadows and knelt beside Chris Jnr who was busy on his laptop.“Um” Chris Jnr hummed without raising his head; he was busy finalizing his design of the wedding venue arrangements.“Mr Holston is back.”“What does that madman’s return have to do with me?” Chris Jnr snorted even though his fingers didn’t stop dancing on the keyboard.“Master is upstairs with Madam.” Night Sonic scratched the back of his head with a constipated expression.“So???” Chris Jnr hooked his eyebrows with a curious expression as he titled his head to look at Night sonic. His lips curled up cynically as he teased “Do you think my daddy can’t handle that lunatic?”“Handle …yes….” Night Sonic chuckled after realizing his mistake, "but that’s exactly what I am concerned about."Chris Jnr too chuckled as he imagined his daddy punching the living daylights out of the madman; he didn’t bother to take any action; he co
Never to look back Did godmother just get sold by my little treasure?
“What are you little ghosts planning this time?” Abbey asked as she patted the spot next to her on the sofa, giving Amy a suggestive look, to get her claws off her little treasure. Amy reluctantly placed Emm on the sofa next to Abbey and stood dutifully behind Abbey.Little treasure stood up on the sofa, lifting her chin with a boastful look as she announced, “We are going to give daddy and mommy the wedding of the century.”“You what???” Abbey’s eyes and mouth widened in shock. She turned her head to look at Night Blade to find some signs of bluffing but there were no giveaways on his face.She patted her chests in an attempt to calm her heart that was racing faster than a formula 1 car on the racetrack. She exhaled deeply as she stuttered “Wedding … a wedding… my Little treasure …. wants to do the wedding of a century….”“My dear little treasure even a simple wedding preparation takes time...” Abbey tried to calm her little treasure “It takes months and lots of preparation to prepar
Never to look back Do you believe if I told you that I will throw you out the window if you make another noise?
“Tell godmother who bullied you?” Abbey sat hugging little treasure on the sofa in the lounge setting in office “Godmother will avenge you.”“Who can bully little treasure?” Emm blinked as she smiled sweetly hugging Abbey “Little treasure is so sweet; how can anyone bear to bully me?”Amy had followed Abbey into the office seeing that Night Blade had no intention of being a gentleman and staying outside. She had to make sure her boss, other than being a workaholic, her boss didn’t have any flaws; she was young anyway… she could afford to work long hours.Amy had just stepped into the office and closed the door when she heard little treasure’s words which were adorable; how could anyone relate the word arrogant to that adorable face? She stood leaning against the door, staring starry-eyed at Emm. She really wanted to hug this adorable little angel.“Yes…. yes…. my little treasure is so adorable, who could bear to?” Abbey agreed happily as she kissed little treasure. “Where is big treas

Master and his group reached the ancestral home of the Walters the next day; deciding on the ancestral home as their destination was a no brainer considering Bai-Min had seen Chris over there 2 weeks ago. However, it wasn’t the much-anticipated reunion that the group expected. Instead, they were told by the gatekeeper that everyone had travelled to Adam’s place.Master hesitated; he didn’t want to follow everyone to Adam’s place. What he really wanted to do was to follow Azure’s aura and find Emile. His original intention was to ditch the group once they met up with Chris and find Emile by following Azure’s aura.“Master, we have to be responsible for them.” Bai-Min knew what his master was thinking and opened his mouth to dissuade his master.“Master, I am following wherever you go.” Lai-Li knew what Bai-Min was up to, so she hurriedly added before Master delegated them to chaperon the trio; once master ordered, they couldn’t refuse.“Aa…. Hai…” Master sighed, shaking his head resent
Never to look back Missed me so soon?
Chris arrived by Emile’s side as soon as he received his son’s message, giving her a pleasant surprise. Emile was reading a book on her bed when Chris arrived.‘Duk’ ‘Duk’ ‘Duk’Emile lifted her head to look in the direction she heard the knock in puzzlement; Who would knock on the balcony door?’Her face brightened with the sweetest smile as she saw the man she missed with all her being even though he had only left a few hours earlier, appearing in front of her. She wasn’t expecting Chris to come back anytime soon.“Hubby….” Emile ran to open the balcony as soon as she heard the knock on the balcony door and jumped into his embrace, hugging him tightly.“Missed me so soon?” Chris chuckled teasingly as he hugged her back.“Um” Emile nodded without feeling embarrassed, this was the man she loved and missed with all her heart. Why would she care about a little face?She lifted her head once her heart calmed down and settled on the bed, sitting in a comfortable position nestled in her hu
Never to look back Is there such a thing?
Chris had just sent Little treasure and the rest of when his satellite phone beeped. It was a tone unique for messages from his treasures. He picked up the phone with a smile as he thought it was Little treasure urging him to work hard. His lips curled up further as he read the message; it wasn’t from Little treasure. It read-‘Daddy, the empress is on her own. I am not responsible if anything happens to your spoilt empress. I am busy.’ – Big treasure.He turned to nod towards Night Wing before leaving the manor.Daniel rushed back to his office all the while racking his brain on how to secure an invitation. His fingers paused twice as he browsed through his contacts list and reached Ron’s number, but he didn’t press down. It was more truthful to say that he didn’t have the confidence that Ron would answer his call. He had tried several times without success to reach him in the first few weeks that he had broken off their friendship to explain his side.‘Duk’ ‘Duk’ ‘Duk’He heard the
