At The Bailey Native HomeIn a twinkling of an eye, they were all set to pay Denise and Louis a surprise visit.On The Way To The Bailey Native HomeDenise asked Louis a question to liven the unusually quiet atmosphere in the car“Louis," he called out to him as he focused his attention on the road. “Yes, Big Brother," he answered without looking away from the road. “Is father aware that you are in Dover?” Louis, who was behind the wheels, turned and looked at him. When he did not respond, he asked again, “What's up, Louis? You seemed distant.”Now, Louis came back to his senses and asked, “Sorry, please. What was your question?”“I asked if Father is aware of your trip to Dover?”“Yes. He is aware. I spoke with him last night.”“It is okay."To keep him cheerful, he asked a question that might interest him, "Remind me again, what time is your flight tomorrow?”“9 am," he answered absent-mindedly while they continued their drive in silence.Arthur Bailey was a fifty-eight-year-old
They sipped their tea and stood up to hug their father one after the other“We shall be on our way, Father," Louis announced.“It is all right. Be careful Louis. Denise, how is Angel?”“All right, Father. I will. You will get my call when I land," Louis assured him.“Angel is fine. We will talk later, Father.”“It is all right. Safe trip, Louis.”They took off to Denise's house at once. The drive was still slow because the traffic rush was still there, They got to his house with enormous expectations that they would meet his fiancée and the others at home. Then, John, the security guard, welcomed them.“Welcome back, Boss.""Thank you, John. Where are our guests?""They have gone to Nicholas' residence to look for you.” Louis and Denise only smiled. They have had enough disappointment for the day. So, they decided to take it as an act of God.“Big brother, it was not meant to be," Louis announced.“You are right. You can see her any other time. Just focus on your trip.”“You are
Before 7 AM, he was at Heathrow Airport with all his team members. At 8 am, they were airborne to Cairo.At the Bailey Native Home.Nichole was about to leave for work as usual. Olivia walked her to the verandah and said, “Have a nice day, Mom.”“And you too. Take care of yourself. Remember, no stressing activities.”“I got it, Mom.”When Nichole got into her car, she stole a brief look at her before she turned on her ignition and waved at her.'Is this girl truly pregnant? What was Freya talking about?' She thought and drove off. She could not do otherwise since her son had not mentioned that his would-be wife was pregnant, and she respected his privacy.As Olivia and Denise had agreed, he decided to meet her before lunch, which he did intentionally. He wanted to maintain his principle of intimacy only after the wedding. Olivia, who had been expecting him, jumped to her feet when she heard the doorbell sound.(Ding.)She opened the door, ran into his arm,, and said, “Welcome, honey
In Cairo, Egypt.He had been combining the exhibition and the search for Olivia's parents. It had not been easy for him because the identities of the Missionaries were safe-guided because they were prone to attack. Now, he had visited one missionary camp or the other, but he kept getting the same result. On one occasion, he was almost detained by the security personnel.“Why do you wish to see the McGregor?” an officer asked him.At that point, he was dumbstruck. He could not think of any good reason, and that made him appear suspicious. When he was unable to provide a reason, one of the security guards who saw him as a responsible man advised him, “Young man, kindly leave and don't come back. I may not be kind to you next time.”“Thank you, Officer," he said and walked away dejectedly. He fought back the tears that were about to drop from his eyes when a thought got to his head.'What a life? Olivia could not allow a day to pass by without seeing or hearing from me. Here I am, goin
After the two attempts failed to get a response, he gave him a call. Now, the ringtone, which he wished would be a call from Olivia,, turned out to be from Eri,c, woke him up from sleep. He looked at the wall clock before he picked up his phone and discovered that it was 5 PM.Then, he spoke, “Hello, Eric.”“Good day, Boss. I am at your door. Just want to check on you.”“Oh! That is good. Please wait.”Eric was glad when he said, 'Please wait' because he believed that his plans would work. Then, Louis got out of his bed and put on his bathrobe before he walked to the door and opened it. When he saw him, he smiled and invited him in, “Come in, Eric.”“Thank you, Boss.”Eric responded as he followed him into his suite. When they got in, Louis was not comfortable with the bathrobe that he was putting on, and he announced.“Please have a seat. I will be back.”“It is all right, Boss," Eric said and took his seat on one of the couches. He looked around the parlor of his suite while he wa
Denise laughed softly as they entwined their index fingers, a symbol of a pinky promise. Then, Olivia walked to his couch and sat beside him, feeling uneasy. The nightmare she went through by sleeping with a man before their marriage was still fresh in her memory. Denise looked at her and asked, “What are your plans for our honeymoon. Where and how long.”She smiled and said, “Let it come as a wedding surprise from you. Any plan you make will be all right by me.”“Wow! You are putting me on the spot.”Olivia smiled and remarked, “I trust your judgment. I know you can come up with something nice.”Now, she saw some semblance between him and Louis for the first time and considered it as an act of God. Then, she crawled to his side of the couch and rested her head on his thighs before he looked up to his face. Denise looked into her eyes and announced, “I'm planning sixty days of honeymoon. Can you withstand it?”She sat up and cupped his face with her hands before she gave him a pass
At the Bailey Native HomeWhen Nichole returned to her apartment with her family, Arthur settled down to have a talk with Julie about Olivia.“Julie.”“Yes, Father.”“I want to believe that Olivia must be a well-behaved girl. Am I right?”She gave her father a warm look before she spoke, "Father, that is an understatement. I had known her when she was growing up, and she is from an excellent home. I was thinking of arranging a blind date for her and Louis. But as you can see, it will never be possible again.”“You are right. But she is still part of us. Denise is also your brother.”“You are right, Father.”“I am excited to see all of you settling down with your spouses. After Denise, the next and last would be Louis, and I'm sure it won't be long before he would settle down.”“Yes, Father. But before him, there is someone that should settle down, too.”Arthur, who was amazed, asked expeditiously, “Who?”Julie looked at him and announced, “Father, it is you. You need to settle down wi
“Mom and Olivia, we will meet at the registry. Daniel, see you later," Freya, who brought her son earlier, said.“It is all right, Auntie Freya. See you later."“Thank you, Freya, for bringing Daniel earlier. I hope to see you and your husband later.”“Yes, Mom. He is getting ready. Daniel, bye.”“Bye, Mom.”The affable Daniel was withdrawn when he saw many strange faces at his grandmother's place. He became clingy and would not leave his grandmother's side. When Olivia noticed that, he called his attention, “Daniel, meet my niece and my cousin.”He looked at her questioningly and ignored her. He felt that she was sharing her love between him and her niece, who was the same age as him. Olivia, who could not get up from her seat because the hair stylist was working on her hair, had to persuade him.“Daniel, my Page Boy, come and give me a hug quickly so we can join Uncle Denise at the registry. He will be cross with us if we keep him waiting.”Instantly, Daniel was scared because he
At that time, her husband collected the phone from her and interrogated John further, “John. It is me. Phil. What kind of car did he drive?”“Good evening, Mr. Anderson. He did not leave with any car. He parked my boss' car, picked up his belongings, and left.”“Okay. Thank you, John. Bye.”At that instance, the lunch was over, and the guests were gone. Olivia's parents, and relations had returned to their hotel, hoping to return to Seven Oaks the next day. Phil had to take over the search for Louis from his wife, who was distressed already.“Baby, you have to be strong because of Mom and Dad. You know they had lost people close to their hearts in the past. Don't bring this until we get to the Native Home. Okay?”She pouted and answered, “Okay dear.” Meanwhile, Arthur had sat with Nichole in the registry and during lunch. He was happy in his propinquity and wished that it should continue. He was carefully searching for Nichole. When Julie walked up to him.“Father, we should be on o
The doctor walked out with the speed of a cheetah, like a man who was about to lose a precious son. The problem on the ground had bonded him with Louis beyond the staff and boss relationship. However, he walked to the car park and gave him a call, but to his chagrin, his phone was off.“Mr. Bailey, please, don't do what all of us would regret,” he mumbled and rested on the door of his car.Currently, the couple, who was smiling happily, was ready for photographs with relatives and friends.“Congratulations. I'm so happy for you, Denise and Olivia,” Mr. And Mrs. McGregor complimented and hugged the couple.“Thank you, Mom and Dad,” they responded simultaneously.Thereafter, other family members followed suit in the congratulatory wishes. When they began to pose for photographs, Mr. Bailey inquired, “Where is the best man?”The other family members who sighted Louis when he walked into the registry began to look around and testified, “I saw him when he walked in.”“He was here. I saw hi
They had enjoyed peace and harmony as a family, and any wrong move could affect the children and grandchildren adversely. So, she never bothered to honor him by replying to his message. Nevertheless, she carefully organized the bride and her train and led them to the registry.At Arthur's Apartment.“Father," Julie called out and her fifty-eight years old father looked up.“Yes, Julie," he answered.“Look at the time. We should be on our way," she informed him.“Oh! Let's go, then.”Arthur and his beautifully dressed daughter got into his car and he turned on the ignition. Before they drove off, he looked at Nichole's apartment and discovered that she had gone. He concealed his disappointment and asked, “So, your Mom has gone?”“Yes, Father. You don't expect that they should still be at home by now. Do you?”“Not at all. She is an excellent organizer who would not want to arrive late at any event.”“You are right, Father.”He had hoped that they would go in convoy. While Julie would
