Chapter 257 I Hate Handouts the Most
John Taylor walked to his best friend, August, smiling and said, “In law, we have prepared a Presidential suite for you and your family.” Then he gave him the room key card.
August took the room key card and replied, “Thank you, my in-law.” August turned to his wife and said, “Elizabeth, let’s go to the Presidential suite to rest.”
Elizabeth looked at her husband with disdain in her eyes and replied, “I hate handouts the most. If you want to sleep here, go ahead, but please don’t involve me and my family. I am not related to your daughter and the Taylor family.”
Then she turned to her son and said, “Aiden, please take us home. Didn’t Avery tell her husband that we are not important to her?” Aiden and Lily were dumbfounded. Lily wanted to see the handsome Xavier again.
Also, she wanted to sleep in the luxurious His Grace Hotel. After her parents’ funeral, Aunt Elizabeth was banned from entering His Grace Hotel. She was looking forward to experiencing the soft king-size bed with high-quality linen and fine dining.
Lily looked at her aunt with pleading eyes, but it was too late to take back the words she had spoken. She looked at her husband and said, “August…”
August interrupted her, then he looked at his son, Aiden, and said, “Please drive safely and let me know when you arrive home.” Then he left with John in tow.
John looked at his best friend and said, “August, your wife is such an embarrassment. I believe you are mentally and physically drained to be in such a relationship and my heart is sore for you, my friend.
When are you divorcing her? I understand that you didn’t want to divorce her because of your children, but Aiden and Avery are grown up now. Therefore, nothing is stopping you from divorcing her. You need to be happy, my friend.”
August nodded his head and replied, “I will divorce her after Avery’s wedding. I am just praying that she doesn’t embarrass your family during Avery’s betrothal ceremony.”
John looked at his friend and said, “I agree with you, August. Our children are getting married soon. Since we are all here, I will ask my father to have a meeting with you and the Evans family tomorrow to set the wedding dates for Keith and Xavier.”
August nodded his head and replied, “It would be great if they could get married soon because I don’t know what Elizabeth is plotting now. However, I do have faith in my son-in-law that he will be able to protect my daughter from harm.”
The staff member pressed the 60th floor button for them. On the 60th floor, John bade goodnight to his friend, then he went to his Presidential Suite to join his wife.
After breakfast, Mr Taylor senior asked his in-laws to join him in the private room. He looked at them and said, “The Lord has blessed the Taylor family with two beautiful ladies, and we need to prepare a grand wedding for them.
I nearly forgot we also need to prepare the engagement banquets as well. Let’s set the dates for these joyous occasions, my in-laws.”
Mrs Evans was over the moon when she heard Mr Taylor senior’s words. She squeezed her husband’s hand, smiling from ear to ear. She couldn’t wait to be the mother of the bride.
Mr Evans smiled and replied, “Thank you, my in-law. I am not sure if everyone will be available on the 13th of April for the engagement banquet and on the 27th of April for my daughter’s wedding ceremony.”
Mr Taylor senior indicated that everyone would be available. Then Mr Martins smiled and said, “Uncle Noah, I heard that my son-in-law’s dream was to get married when he was twenty-six years old.
Therefore, I choose the 1st of June for the engagement banquet and the 15th of June for their wedding ceremony.”NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
Mr Taylor senior looked at his daughter-in-law and asked, “Bridgette, do you have any special request about your wedding venue?” Bridgette smiled and replied, “I would like to be married in this hotel, Dad.”
Mr Taylor senior was satisfied and replied, “I will leave this matter in the capable hands of your mother and my daughter-in-law, Caroline.”
He took a sip of water and smiled brightly at his granddaughter-in-love. He asked, “Do you have any special request, my granddaughter in love?”
Avery flashed her grandfather-in-law with a beautiful smile and replied, “I would like to have an engagement banquet at His Glory Hotel and get married at His Goodness Resort, Grandpa.”
Her grandfather-in-law looked at Avery’s father and said, “August, I will leave this matter in your capable hands. Shout if you need any help.”
August smiled and replied, “Thank you, Uncle Noah.” Then he looked at Mrs Shelton and said, “Mia, I need your help in this matter. I don’t want to involve my wife because she might sabotage my daughter’s happiness.”
Mrs Shelton smiled brightly and replied, “Thank you, August. I will come early to make preparations with the help of Aunt Suzie, Aunt Rose, and my in-law Caroline.” Aunt Suzie was grinning from ear to ear. She loved Avery as her granddaughter.
In the meantime, at the Taylor mansion, Caia Ford locked herself in the guest room. She asked Wayne to fetch her before breakfast. She heard that her crush was sleeping at His Grace Hotel. So, she wanted to avoid him at all costs.
She was on three days of fasting, seeking the Lord’s face. She had never coveted anything that didn’t belong to her. She decided not to eat or drink for three days. She had faith that the Lord would come through for her.
Also, she never dreamed of breaking someone else’s marriage, and she would not start now. She wanted to stay at the Taylor main mansion until Avery’s betrothal ceremony, but she changed her mind.
Avery’s father was the temptation she wanted to avoid. She took her phone and called her brother, Reece, and said, “Big brother, I will be home on Thursday. Have a safe trip back home. Send my regards to Daddy and Mom. Love you.”
Caia was the Ford Group Deputy CEO. She was smart and a quick thinker. Her brother loved her very much and replied, “I love you too, baby sister. Sis Caroline told me that you have a headache. How are you feeling now?
Please don’t rush home, take care of your health. The company is not more important than you. Also, you are in the capable hands of the best Neurosurgeon beside you.” Caia told her brother that she was feeling better. Then they hung up the phone.
