Chapter 219 Love at First Sight
Her God grandma giggled and walked to the house with Xavier and Avery in tow. She ushered them to the living room. Then Xavier handed the boutique of tulips to her. She thanked him, and then she stood beside her husband.
Her God grandpa was beaming with joy. He kissed Avery on both cheeks, then he shook Xavier’s hand.
Avery looked at her God grandma and said, “God grandma, this is my husband, Xavier Taylor. Hubby, this is my God grandpa, Paul Evans, and my God grandma, Suzie Evans.”
Her God grandpa smiled broadly and asked, “Son, nice to meet you. Are you Mr Noah Taylor’s grandson?” Xavier smiled and replied, “Pleasure is mine, God Grandpa. Yes, Noah Taylor is my grandfather.”
August had told him that the Taylor family heir was very handsome and outstanding. He looked at his outstanding God grandson-in-law in front of him smiling from ear to ear. He was compatible with his God granddaughter.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
At that moment, Aunt Bridgette walked into the dining room carrying fruit on the plate. She smiled at them and said, “Good morning my son-in-law and my daughter. Are you well?”
Xavier smiled and replied, “Good morning, Mom. We are well, thank you.” Aunt Bridge smiled and took the flowers from her mother’s arms. She walked to the kitchen to put the flowers in the vase.
Aunt Bridgette walked to Avery carrying a painting. She smiled and said, “Let’s go.”
Avery smiled at her shocked God grandma and said, “God grandma, we will come and visit you some other time.” She kissed her and hugged her God grandpa then they left.
When they arrived at the Taylor mansion, Aunt Bridgette looked at the majestic mansion which exuded opulence with admiration. She was not expecting less from the wealthiest family in the country.
They got out of the car, then they walked to the house with Xavier behind them. John Taylor and his wife, Caroline Taylor, were standing by the door waiting to welcome Miss Evans.
John kissed Miss Evans on both cheeks and Caroline hugged her smiling. She ushered her to the living room. Her father-in-law stood up when he saw Miss Evans and said smiling, “Welcome to the Taylor family, Miss Evans.”
Miss Evans looked shyly at Mr Taylor Senior and thanked him. He had an intimidating aura. It was clear that his grandson, Xavier, took after him. Even though he was old, he was still handsome.
Bridgette handed the painting to him. Mr Taylor Senior looked at the painting. It was the Table Mountain landscape. It was breathtakingly beautiful. He was overjoyed and thanked her.
A few minutes later, Keith walked into the living room. When his eyes met Bridgette, time stood still. His heart started beating so fast. It had never happened to him before. Bridgette was in the same boat.
Her heart was beating uncontrollably against her heart. She was thirty-nine years old, and she had given up on love. She touched her heart and shook her head. Keith knelt on one knee and said, “Will you marry me, Miss Evans?”
Bridgette looked at him to see if he was not joking. She smiled, then she nodded her head. Keith hugged her tightly and said, “Thank you for accepting me, Miss Evans. I promise to love only you in this lifetime.”
Keith looked at his father and said, “Dad, I would like you to meet my future wife, Miss Evans.” Bridgette was so shy that she lowered her eyes. She never thought that she would fall in love at first sight. She used to read that in romance novels.
Her future father-in-law was over the moon. He never thought that his youngest son would ever get married, because he was not interested in anything besides his job.
He approached Bridgette smiling from ear to ear and kissed her on both cheeks. He then hugged his son and said, “You chose well, my son. I am so happy.”
Keith looked at his father and hugged him back. He never thought that he would ever meet the love of his life. No one had moved his heart before he met Miss Evans. He made a silent prayer thanking the Lord for His faithfulness.
Avery was over the moon. She hugged her husband tightly, smiling from ear to ear. She thanked the Lord for answering her prayers. Her heart was full of gratitude to the Lord.
Her grandfather-in-law walked to her. He kissed her on both cheeks and whispered, “Thank you, my granddaughter in love.”
Avery smiled sweetly at her grandfather-in-law and replied, “You are welcome, Grandpa.” Then he hugged his grandson and said, “I am proud of you, my precious grandson.”
Xavier smiled and replied, “I love you, Grandpa.” His Grandpa smiled broadly when he heard his precious grandson’s words.
Xavier hugged his uncle and said, “Congratulations, Uncle Keith. I cannot wait to be your page boy at your wedding.” Everyone laughed out loud.
Caroline hugged Bridgette tightly and said, “I am glad that you are my sister.” Bridgette smiled and replied, “Me too, Mrs Taylor.” Caroline smiled and said, “Mrs Taylor is our mother-in-law. Please call me by my name, my dearest Bridgette.”
Bridgette was so shy; she nodded her head. John approached her smiling from ear to ear and said, “Thank you for putting a smile on my father’s face, sister-in-law.” Bridgette had a faint smile on her face, it seemed as if she was dreaming. She wanted to pinch herself to ensure that she wasn’t hallucinating.
Then Avery hugged her tightly and said, “I am so happy for you, Mommy. Nothing can separate us.” Aunt Bridgette held Avery’s hands and asked, “I didn’t embarrass you, Sweetheart?”
Avery shook her head and replied, “This is the fruit of your kindness. May the Lord give you the desires of your heart. May He answer all your silent prayers. I love you so much, Mommy.”
Aunt Bridgette had tears in her eyes, she hugged her tightly and said, “Thank you, Sweetheart. I love you more.” Avery smiled and said, “My God Grandma will be over the moon when she hears the news.”
Aunt Bridgette smiled and replied, “She will tell all her friends and relatives. The Lord has been faithful to me. I will never forget His mercies upon my life.”
At that moment, Butler Blade informed them that lunch had been served. They washed their hands, then they walked to the dining room chatting and laughing.
Xavier looked at his uncle and said, “Uncle Keith, I will leave my mother-in-law in your capable hands. We are meeting our friends at 1 pm and later my wife has scheduled surgery.”
Uncle Keith nodded his head and replied, “It’s my duty, my favourite nephew. I will take care of my future wife.” Xavier and his wife ate quickly, and they left at 12:30.
