Ch-165
Stephen came along with his sons.
Stephen's eldest son got married to Laura. She is pregnant with her second child now.
Stephen's Eldest son, Jacob Cole, is Laura's husband. He also runs a business. When his youngest brother went to the police academy. He is planning to achieve his father's position.
"Brother Jacob, Come inside," Chasina invited him. She also welcomed Stephen. She supported Laura inside him. She is seven months pregnant now. Her first child is a son. Now she wanted a girl.
Everyone settled in the hall and congratulated Chasina.
When it was time for lunch they went to the dining area.
Everyone started food.
Laura, who is pregnant, sealed her hand to the spicy chicken but was caught by Adiana.
Her face has an expression 'No way,'
Laura ha a pitiful expression, 'please,'
But Adiana has a stern expression she didn't budge.
"You are still the same! Hmph!" Laura huffed and puffed.
Adiana stuck her tongue out and took away the dish.
"You are heavily pregnant now! So, you should avoid it! Eat greens!" Adiana stayed stern and dumped the food in her bowl.
"Brother, where is my nephew?" Chasina asked.
She hadn't seen him since morning.
"That brat said you will become prime minister. So, he doesn't want to waste his time watching the news. He went to the training grounds along with Blake and team to learn something," Adiana said.
"But he is only eleven! He is a kid!"chasina said.
"That is the reason I want to become strong from now on! So, I can become strong to protect my beautiful Sina!" A young boy's voice can be heard from the hall.
"Arey! My nephew knows how to talk!" Chasina chuckled.
"Gabriel! Wash your hands and join us!" Adiana said.
"Okay! mom!"Gabriel said and left.
Gabriel washed his hands and joined the table.
"Aunt, Congratulations!"He said after he settled in at the table.
"Thanks, dear," she said.
"But why do you have so much confidence in me? How can you say that I will become The Prime minister?" Chasina asked. She is still amused by his behavior.
"Even if you don't have confidence in you, I have confidence in that sticky man, Andrus. He won't let you suffer grievances," The Little Gabriel is so straightforward.
Even though what he said is true. Maybe he shouldn't be that….. Open.
Gabriel continued to eat his food. But the whole table turned silent. A deafening silence surrounded the table.
Even Edward is stunned at his son's words!
His son is courageous unlike him!
Chasina faked a cough and continued to eat!.
"Sina! It's been eight years since Henrieth died. It's time for you to get married!"Alexander said.
"Dad! I still need some time,��� Chasina said.
"Aren't eight years enough? Because of you, even Andrus is waiting! You are not young anymore. You are thirty-two now. I need grandchildren from you too," Alexander said.
"Sina! No matter what, We are also sad about what happened to you in the past. But you can't stop going forward just because of Henrieth!" Stephen said as he came in support of Alexander.
"Sina! Andrus is a good guy, You should give it a try! As a friend I can see you have feelings for him, stop denying your feelings and accept him," Laura said.
"He proposed to you many times, but you rejected. If you don't want him, why not try other men? Why don't you give a chance to yourself," Laura continued?
There was a heavy silence. Chasina clutched her fork tightly.
"I like him. But I'm not worthy of him," Chasina said as she lowered her head.
"What do you mean, Sina?" Adiana asked.
"He was there for me when I needed a person to lean on. He was there during my lowest times and highest times. In the past eight years, he was there most of the time. But I wasn't there for him a single time. And even now, I won't accept if someone says that he has nothing to do with my ministry. I have a lot of flaws. I'm not perfect for him," Chasina said.
She stood up to leave.
"Stop! When did you learn disrespecting food!? Huh!? Finish it?!" Edward's voice rang in the hall.
Even though Edward's demeanor softened, he is still stern.
Chasina had no choice but to listen to him. She sat down and continued to eat.
"Everyone, now stop talking about her marriage," Edward warned.
Listening to his words no one dared to say a single word.
Looking at the silent table Ava started ranting about her silly experiences in school. The table filled with laughter very soon.
"Oh! Aunt! I heard you are joining your son in school and still looking for the best schools?" Ava asked.
"Yes dear," Laura answered.
"Why not let him join our school. So, that I and Gabriel will be there for him and we can take care of him," Ava said.
"Yes, I forgot about it!" Laura said as she slapped the table.
"Jacob, What do you think?" Laura asked for his opinion.
"I don't have problems with it. If he is going with them then I can be assured too," Jacob answered.
"Then LEt's take admission there," Laura said.
"Then I will talk to the principal of that school," He said.
"Hey, did you forget me?" Stephen sulked.
"Okay! Dad! Will you agree?" Jacob asked.
"Jacob, stop he will agree no matter what," Laura said.
"Hey, I'm someone with age and position! I have an opinion too!" Stephen sulked like a kid.
"Oaky! What is that opinion, dad?" Laura asked.
"I agree!" Stephen said.
"I said no, he will agree no matter what. It's just a waste of time asking him!" Laura said as she leaned on his shoulder.
"Let's not ask him next time," Jacob said.
Did they forget he is still present!
For Pete's sake, He is an elder! Okay!
He deserves some respect too!
Sigh…
The world is filled with bullies!
Stephen sulked on his own as he continued to have his food.
Everyone burst into laughter as they watched the three people's conversation.
Hen is still the old Hen.
After lunch, the Cole family left Rosella's mansion.
Chasina has to go to the palace that afternoon.
Because Andrus called her to come to the palace, As there is official business there to attend.
Actually, from tomorrow, they had to go to the palace. She was confused by his sudden invitation. Nonetheless, she decided to go.
