Chapter 231 Valentine’s Day 2
In South Africa, Keith was parking his car in the Evans mansion’s driveway. He was taking his future wife to His Grace Hotel to celebrate Valentine’s Day. He got out of the car carrying a bouquet of Tulip flowers and a box of chocolate.
He greeted his father-in-law and mother-in-law with respect and said, “Happy Valentine’s Day, Mom.” Then he handed the flowers to her. His mother-in-law smiled brightly and thanked him.
Bridgette walked into the living room wearing a knee-high red dress and five-inch heels. She smiled at her future husband, then she bade goodbye to her parents and walked to the driveway with Keith in tow.
Keith opened the door for her, then he walked to the driver’s side. He smiled broadly and said, “You look beautiful, my future wife.” Bridgette smiled sweetly and replied, “Thank you, my future husband. You looked dashing yourself.”
Keith drove the car to His Grace Hotel. He got out of the car, then he opened his future wife’s door. He then took the bouquet of red roses and said, “Happy Valentine’s Day, Darling.” Bridgette smiled sweetly at him and thanked him.
Keith hugged her waist and led her to the hotel. The hotel manager was waiting for them. He smiled broadly when he saw them, then he escorted them to their private room.
The private room was decorated romantically with fresh flowers, rose petals, candles, and a non-alcoholic wine in the bucket. The famous pianist, Zach Badu, was playing a love song.
At that moment, Chef Bruno walked with two waiters carrying the serving dishes. Keith thanked him, and then they left. Bridgette smiled brightly, then she took a plate and served her future husband. Then she dished for herself.
Whilst she was eating, Keith knelt on one knee and said, “Darling, will you marry me?” Bridgette was over the moon and replied, “Yes, I will marry you.” Keith put a dazzling diamond engagement ring on her finger.
He hugged her and kissed her on the lips. He was overjoyed. Bridgette smiled sweetly at him and said, “I love my engagement ring a lot.” Then she kissed him back.
Bridgette took a beautifully wrapped gift and handed it to her future husband. Keith thanked his future wife and opened his gift. Nestled in the brocade jewelry box was an engraved Rolex watch.
Keith smiled broadly at his future wife and hugged her tightly. Then he took off the watch he was wearing and asked his future wife to help him to wear his new watch.
After dinner, Keith and Bridgette walked to Zach Badu. Bridgette smiled at him and said, “Thank you, Zach. You made my day so special.” Zach Badu smiled at them and replied, “Best wishes on your new journey.”
Then Keith took his future wife to the Evans residence. He parked his car outside the mansion, then he took her in his arms and kissed her on the lips for a long time, and said, “I cannot wait to have you as my wife.”
Bridgette smiled sweetly at him and said, “I am counting the days, and I am looking forward to being your wife. Thank you for a wonderful evening. I had a great time. Travel safely on the road.” Keith didn’t leave until she was inside the mansion.
Bridgette’s parents were in the living room watching a soccer game between Sundowns and Orlando Pirates. Paul was a staunch supporter of Sundowns. It was leading the Orlando Pirates by 2 goals to 1.
At that moment, Bridgette walked into the living room smiling from ear to ear. She looked at her parents and said, “Dad, Mom, do you like my engagement ring?” Her mother was over the moon. She took her phone and took some photos.
She then sent the photos to her relatives. She had invited her immediate relatives to her daughter’s betrothal gift ceremony. They thought that Bridgette was marrying someone who was coming from a poor background and Suzie didn’t correct them.
In the blink of an eye, it was Saturday. Xavier and Avery didn’t want to go back home. They wished they could stay at least another week.
Xavier woke up early and packed their luggage. After he finished packing, he walked to the bathroom to take a bath. Then he filled the bathtub with warm water for his wife. He walked to their bedroom with a towel wrapped around his waist.
He wore his pink and white striped shirt with his casual navy blue suit. He looked at himself in the mirror and smiled broadly.
Then he kissed his wife until she woke up. Avery rubbed her eyes and said, “Honey, let me sleep for a few minutes.” She was exhausted. Her husband didn’t let her go until the early hours of the morning.
Her husband looked at her with gentleness in his eyes and replied, “Sweetheart, I am sorry it is my fault. Our private jet will be leaving at 10 am. Why don’t you take a bath, and then you sleep on the plane?”
Avery looked at her husband aggrieved, and then she walked to the bathroom with her eyes closed. Xavier was scared that she would hurt herself. He picked her up and walked to the bathroom.
He took off his suit jacket, then he undressed his wife and helped her to take a bath. He then wrapped her with the towel and walked out of the bathroom with his wife in his arms. Then he dressed her up.
After breakfast, they checked out and they walked to the parking lot. The driver was already waiting for them.
He greeted them with a smile, then he took their luggage and put them in the car boot. Xavier opened the door for his wife, then he sat beside her. The driver drove the car to the airport.
When Avery saw a Duty-Free shop at the airport, she became excited and said, “Honey, let’s buy gifts for our family.” Then they entered the shop and bought boxes of chocolate, jewelry, and a cute plush doll for Sage.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
A few minutes later, they walked to their private Jet. The pilot and the flight attendants greeted them respectfully, then the plane departed from the Seychelles International Airport.
Xavier accompanied his wife to the bedroom and hugged her to sleep. The plane landed safely at King Shaka International Airport. Wayne and his sister, Portia, were waiting for them at the passenger arrival terminal.
Portia smiled brightly when she saw them and said, “Welcome back Boss.” Wayne greeted them with respect then he took their luggage and walked to the parking lot.
Wayne opened his boss’s door and Portia opened Avery’s door. Avery smiled brightly at Portia and thanked her. Wayne drove the car to the Taylor mansion. Avery gave Wayne and Portia a box of chocolate each. Portia was overjoyed.
