Chapter 7 : Mrs Larson

The guests were sipping fine champagnes ,while chatting with each other.

Suddenly, Larry's father came to congratulate his new daughter-in law.

"Hello Lydia, i'm Larry's father. Welcome to the family my child. I've heard so much about you, and i was so eager to meet you one day! See? The big day has come! Now i can die in peace , hahaha! Anyway Lydia , from now on ,this house is your house , if you ever need anything ,please let me know. And also, don't mind Larry , he's a bit moody sometimes , but that's okay. I'm pretty sure that you two will get along so well!"

"Thank you for your wishes Sir..." , Lydia said , with a shy smile.

"Oh , i can see that you're very shy! Haha! No worries, it's normal, i understand. You've never seen me before ,and you're not used to. We have time to get to know each other before i ....hummm...i mean,  i'll wait till you're ready to talk to me okay? "

"Yes ...Sir..."

"Oh please, i feel so old hahahaha!"

"I'm sorry...i.."

"I'm kidding hahaha ! Don't worry. And ...(looking around as if he was searching for someone) Why didn't you follow your husband? I think it's high time for both of you to know each other ,humm. There will be a reception tonight , seize this opportunity to talk to him while ...."

Lydia's father suddenly interupted their sweet conversation. He was standing there,with a file in hands , smiling hypocritically.

"Sorry to interupt but ...Oh my darling, you're so lovely ,today i'm the happiest father ever...seeing my only child..in her white dress ,like this...ohhh...(kissed Lydia's forehead) muuuah... i'm doing my best to hold my tears! Anyway, Lydia, can i borrow Mister Larson from you ,for a few seconds please? Thank you! "

"Appologies again, my dear Lydia. We'll continue our conversation some other times. ", Mister Larson told her.

"No worries , Mister Larson..."

Mister Spells brought Mister Larson away from the crowd.

"What is it Eric? Why did you bring me here? "

"Well Mister Larson... no one needs to know our deal ... and as i told you yeaterday, i really need your signature on these documents please ."

"It's your daughter's wedding today, couldn't you wait till Monday, huh?"

"As i've told you earlier , Mister Larson, that's not possible . I have already done my part , now you have to do your's!"

"Come on Mister Spells, don't you trust me now ?"

"Of course i trust you Mister Larson, of course! But i don't trust your health! I've heard of what happened yesterday and i don't want to take any risk! What i you die during the night ,and i don't get my money this Monday ,huh? "

"How disgusting! How can you be so mean? After everything i did for you? "

"Well ,i've done a lot too! I've even gave you my only daughter ! Do you think that i don't suffer ? "

"You... ggrrrrr....ungrateful father! You don't deserve to have a nice child like Lydia!  "

"Why are we still talking about Lydia ? She got a husband now , i no longer care about her ! Here's the papers , and a pen . Just sign here! "

Meanwhile , Larry walked towards Lydia ,with two flutes in hand . He drank one ,and gave the empty flute to a waiter passing by, then he held the full one before Lydia.

When she was about to grab it,he drank it ,completely!

"Lydia? That's how you're named right? " , he told her.

"Y...yes...nice to meet you..L...Larry! "

"I would like to say the same ,but no!

Let me be clear with two or three things before we start!

Miss, we didn't play hide-and-seek together during childhood,okay?! So,for you, it's MISTER LARRY!  Call me Mister Larry! Got it?"

"But ,why are you being so mean to me? My dad said that you were looking for a wife , and here i am...! So ,why are you treating me like this? You could at least show some empathy... "

"Hahaha! Honey ! You overthink too much! And believe me ,yes believe me ; that ,will be your downfall!"
