Never to look back Meet the family (3)
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

“Your man?” A cold voice sounded.Amanda didn’t have to turn to see who the owner of the voice was. She shivered inwardly but didn’t cower. She bit her lips and looked pitifully at Christopher.Christopher hugged Emile comfortingly and spoke in a gentle voice “Baby, are you okay?” He looked at her in concern noting that she didn’t register his presence.Emile didn’t register Christopher’s words nor his presence; Amanda’s words echoed in her heard, everything else was a blur. She couldn’t stop herself from wallowing in self-doubt. She wondered if she made the same mistake again.As her thoughts were starting to spiral out of control, she heard Christopher’s gentle voice and felt his warm embrace….but that wasn’t right… he was in the study dealing with pending work commitments. She raised her eyes that were filled with confusion to stare into a passionate gaze “Huh?”“Baby, I am here.” He comforted gently massaging her back till he saw colour returning to her face.“I am fine.” Emile ra

Chris and Emile made their way through the reception hall, toasting guests at each table, in the order of the closeness of their relationship. Adrian, Neil and Night Wing took their roles seriously as they blocked the drinks for Chris. Emile had her supply of fruit tea that Abbey religiously re-filled for her; No one knew why, nor did they think much into it as this was Chris Jnr’s arrangement.Chris and Emile had just reached the table where Grandpa Holston was seated when Chris Jnr slowly stood up from his seat and walked towards them, holding little treasures hand. The rest, along with Bruno in the lead followed with excitement as they knew that the fun Emm mentioned before was about to start.“Thank you for coming and blessing our special day with your presence.” Chris raised the toast towards Ron and the rest; he didn’t even spare Grandpa Holston a glance. It was not in his nature to grin and bear grievances.“It was our pleasure.” Several associates including Ron hurriedly joine
Never to look back I can be bribed.
Chris and Emile moved to the cake-cutting event with the reminder from little treasure. Cake cutting had a little twist, contrary to the norm where the bride and groom feed each other with the first cut, Emile fed the piece she took to Little treasure while Chris fed Big treasure before letting the two treasures feed them.Although it wasn’t planned and neither big treasure nor little treasure were ready for the surprise, both husband and wife knew each other’s thoughts the moment they looked at each other; they didn’t need to plan or coordinate for such flawless action. The action from the duo that followed also wasn’t planned nor coordinated, it was their norm, the duo would always feed daddy and mommy with their little hands in reciprocation from when they were old enough to grasp things.While the shadow guards took it upon themselves to deliver cake to each and every individual that attended the reception, Chris and Emile personally hand delivered the ones for family and relative

Once all the guests were seated comfortably according to their table arrangement leaving the seats in the front vacated for family, Augusta as the coordinator for the wedding, announced the entry of the bride and groom, in all its grandeur while the DJ set the background scores for the romantic entry of the bride and groom.Emile’s favorite symphony floated through the air as she and Chris made their grand entrance, once again wearing a couple set; they had changed out of their traditional wedding attire they wore in the morning to a champagne-colored gown and suit. They walked in, Emile holding onto Chris’s arm with a blissful smile, like a pair of immortals strolling through the mortal realm as they walked through the hall to the center, followed by their little tails also wearing a mini version of their set. The adorable little dolls had their heads held high, a proud smile hanging on their faces as they followed in their parents’ footsteps.The bridal entourage followed behind wit

Everyone went back to their rooms to rest and change before the reception banquet, which was also the continuation of the wedding extravaganza with no expense spared. With all the guests housed in Royal Lux, the hotel was closed to outside business, other than the ones that had a pre-booking and couldn’t be changed to another date.“Where’s Christian?” Daniel turned to question Ceilier as soon as he reached their room; It was not that he didn’t notice that Christian wasn’t with them, but the truth of the matter was that he didn’t get a chance till now.“He went off with the Walters.” Ceilier twisted his lips awkwardly as he replied in a low voice.“That bastard…” Daniel gritted his teeth as he muttered under his breath before turning his attention to Emile. He waved his hand, instructing Ceilier to step down before walking up to Emile and taking a seat facing her.“What’s wrong?” Emile asked in concern as she saw Daniel staring at her with knitted brows.“Nothing ….” Daniel shrugged b

“Senior Master Walter, the ride for returning to the hotel is ready.” One of the shadow guards from the team who were assigned to the Walters and Burkes announced as he stood respectably by Adam’s side.“Um…” Adam nodded as he took the treasures and Bruno with him “Lead the way.” Adam walked forward holding Big treasure and Bruno while Elizabeth held little treasure’s hand. No matter how uncomfortable she was, little treasure put on a brave smile and walked forward, as though she was heading for the gallows. Both Adam and Elizabeth feigned ignorance although they were laughing in their heads; she looked too adorable!Adam purposefully left Little treasure to Elizabeth’s care even though he knew that she would be uncomfortable. His intention was well meaning; to give them a chance to get to know each other better. He just didn’t expect the extent of aversion he saw in little treasure’s subtle actions; there was not just aversion but also fear mixed with guilt which Adam never expected;
Never to look back What trouble did you two manage to get into this time?
The groom kissing the bride, captured in the backdrop of the rising sun, was too magical to say the least; Other than the younger generation of the Burke and Walter household who were causing a ruckus by whistling and cheering, all the other guests were mesmerized by the magical moment that was unfolding before their eyes.“Wow! That was so magical.” One of the guests exclaimed as she turned around with a dreamy expression, stretching her hands; no one could despise her excitement as this was the thought in the hearts of most of the people who came to attend the wedding; the finale of the wedding was too mesmerizing for even the most grounded and rationale minds.They would never forget this magical moment for the rest of their lives; the moment they witnessed nature proclaiming the fulfillment of a man’s undying affection and loyalty; the moment they witnessed the groom and his bride finally attaining their happily ever after, despite all the odds that fate had stacked against them.
Never to look back There's only so much a little girl can do…
“Mommy, you better take care of your man from here on…there's only so much a little girl can do…” Emm’s bell-like voice rang out as she advised seriously forgetting that her mouthpiece was still on “It was hard work, but we got him here for you.”Everyone burst out laughing as they heard the childish reprimand, leading Emm to wince in embarrassment as she hid behind her elder brother biting her tongue.“Uff….uff…” Chris Jnr cleared his throat like a little adult to attract everyone’s attention before he continued “As you have witnessed, our daddy’s journey to his happily ever after has been anything but smooth; whether it was our mommy’s blindness to recognize his unwavering affection and love….”The laughter from the crowd continued while the bride shyly lowered her head, but not without glaring at the flower boy who suddenly became talkative. Emm didn’t have any solidarity with the bride as she covered her mouth and giggled.“or whether it was the judgmental eyes of the world around
Never to look back You could never do what he did…
“You could never do what he did…”“What did you say?” Daniel asked in shock; he had heard what she said even though it was a whisper; he just didn’t want to believe it. He didn’t want to believe that Emile had recovered her memory. If she didn’t why would she say that?“How can you arrange so many hot air balloons? Such an extravaganza wedding would need the coffers of the king opened.” Emile giggled as she turned around to face him.Daniel stared at her face for a long time trying to make sense, trying to discern if what she said was purely based on the wedding arrangement or whether there was a hidden meaning in them. But before he could process this line of thought, the ceremonial bells rang leading everyone to take a closer look at the hot-air ballon in the center. Although it was one that could hold 35 people, there were currently only about 25 people including the celebrant and his assistant.“That is actually a priest not a celebrant.” One of the guests in Daniel’s basket, who h
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 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 the name, Church in the Sky, Mossel Bay, there were no details of how to get to 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.
