"Hmm and they lived a happy harmonious life together, building their family and making more babies to fill the rooms of Liu Mansion…" murmured Old Madam Liu that made Sheila laugh.
"Is that how Keira's friend ended the story?" Sheila asked in disbelief as she grabbed her copy from the table. They were sitting outside in the garden with the twins and Jeru Jr. in their strollers. Her mother-in-law was reading a recently published book, written by news anchor Gavin Wu, which was based on Zach and Keira's love story while waiting for everyone to get ready.
She looked at the finale and as she expected Old Madam Liu had added the last sentence she said to the story for the twins and Jeru Jr. to hear.
"This author lacks a sense of humor. He should add that in the last line…" Old Madam Liu complained. The book was titled "The General Who Hates Me" a part of the Hate & Love Series he was making.
Finally Keira arrived all decked up for the occasion.
"Why is the title like this? The General Who Hates Me? Why not love?" asked Sheila as soon as Keira sat on the chair.
"It was Gavin who suggested that it's better. He said people will get curious why a General would hate me, something like a click bait…" Keira answered laughing.
After some more minutes, Zach with Jeru and Thea came out of the mansion.
"Let's go…" said Zach as everyone prepared to leave to attend the yearly banquet held to honor their ancestors, the Legendary Couple and the Rulers, Yao Yuren and Wei Xianyi.
The banquet for this year would be hosted by the Ken Family.
As soon as they arrived at the venue, they saw the Kens standing outside the door to greet and welcome everyone. "It's been a while my friend," Ryu Ken greeted Zach while Ryu's wife Arya hugged Keira. Ryu and Arya led them inside the function hall where every family, called as the descendants of the Legendary Couple, gathered altogether.
Keira saw Gavin who approached her as soon as she was noticed by him. "Did you like how I wrote your love story? I heard a lot of compliments saying my female lead is very strong…" Gavin commented as he looked at each family arriving.
"Every year, I see another couple forming in each family. Look at that? Your cousin Xander is married too. Maybe I should interview him next since he's a doctor. Another book for my series like 'The Doctor Who Loves Me'." Gavin mumbled.
Keira laughed and said, "Why don't you just write your own story this time Gavin?" Gavin sighed and said, "My story is still incomplete so let me write stories of the couples with happy endings. I actually plan to change the title for the next book…"
"Huh?" Keira hummed, a bit confused.
Gavin laughed then nozzled his lips at a particular man. "Where are you pointing? You mean Attorney Liam Sy?" Keira asked as she looked in the direction where Gavin was pointing.
"That man, I heard he is a woman hater so I'm actually waiting for his love life to unfold. Just in case, he will have a happy love story, I will change the title to 'Hate & Love: Loving A Heartless Lawyer'. Something of the sort for the next series, what do you think?" Gavin explained.
Keira shook her head and responded, "Whatever Gavin. I think you should continue on being a field reporter because I think it will suit you more to get scoops for gossip…"
Gavin laughed and defended, "When you are a writer - it's like being a reporter only Keira… You need to research a lot too. Be curious about many people's lives where you can also possibly get inspiration and motivation…"
"Liam is our family attorney… Ohhh! How come I never thought of it!!! They will surely click!!!" Keira suddenly gasped.
This time it was Gavin who got confused and asked, "Huh?"
"I have this friend of mine and she's an attorney too. I wonder if she had already met Liam cause it's been a while since we last talked about her life. Well, I've been quite busy lately but now I will make sure to bug her again…" Keira muttered.
"Hmm, I still don't get you," Gavin replied.
"Well my friend Lana happens to be a man hater and a lawyer too so maybe those two will click. I should set those two up!" Keira excitedly declared.
Gavin's face twisted, "Are you kidding me? I won't be surprised if they end up killing each other in their first meeting."
Thea suddenly appeared before them and looked at the direction where Keira and Gavin were looking. "Ohhh, Atty. Sy is here. Keira I told you before right that grandma arranged a date for Jeru and it was Lana."
"Yes, I remember. Why? What did Atty. Sy got to do about it?" Keira asked.
Thea laughed and said, "Well hadn't I told you that your friend Lana managed everything so well for that meeting to not succeed? Didn't she tell you how she did it?"
Keira simply shook her head so Thea continued, "Lana kissed a stranger in front of everyone saying that stranger is her boyfriend and guess who is that man that she kissed."
"Thea just get to the point and don't kill us with that kind of suspense." Gavin impatiently complained.
"It's him. Attorney Liam Sy…" Thea answered that made Gavin drop his jaw recalling how he laughed at the idea of Keira.
Keira on the other hand burst in laughter while her eyes sparkled as she looked at Gavin and said, "See? That's the irony of love. Geez, I wonder how come you can write a good romance when you yourself have not yet experienced one…"
"Are you mocking the hottest writer, author, news anchor alive right now?" Gavin muttered with pouted lips.
"Nope my dear friend… I'm complimenting your brain…" Keira teased and she with Thea laughed together and both continued to banter with Gavin.
