Chapter 96

Ethan together with his husband and son arrived at the venue of their dinner party, outside the hallway of the hotel, mother Smith was there with father Smith. The two were greeting the guest that are invited to that party. The party isn't that big nor grand, it is just a simple party together with the friends and some relatives of the couple.

"Nana! Where is my balloon?" asked Asher to his grandmother.

"it is inside the restaurant, I left it there so would you like to go together with Nana?" Mother Smith crouches down to talk to her grandson at the same eye level. She loves how adorable her grandson is, Asher might not be their first grandson, she and her husband treat them equally.

"your cousin Elijah and your other friends are also inside so would you go inside with Nana and Papi?" asked father Smith as he also asks their grandson.

"Daddy, Mommy can I go with Nana and Papi?" Asher looks at his parents to ask permission before he agrees to his grandparents. He was thought in his how to ask permission first.

"Of course baby, go with Nana and Papi and don't be naughty inside ok?"

"OK! Let's go, Papi, Nana!" the little boy then held hands with his grandparents as he pulls them to go inside excitedly. Ethan on the other hand watches the view of how happy their son is.

"*Hugs* He looks so happy. I bet he would be even happier when he got to know that he will become an older brother. He asked me once why your tummy is big" Lucas saw his wife watching their son lovingly, for him that view was what he had always wanted. He went and hug his wife as he says those words not being bothered by what the other people would say about them.

"What did you tell him?"

"I said, Mommy is just very…healthy" Lucas change the word that he was supposed to say. He is aware of how much pregnant woman or omega hates to hear them calling 'fat' thus to avoid Ethan from getting angry he change his choice of word.

"You were about to say that I'm fat right? Lucas Smith! You better not forget that I would not hesitate to not go home for days if you call me fat again!"

"Wifey…yes, yes I'm sorry. I did say to our son that you are just very healthy. So please don't be angry with me Wifey, we would be announcing everything inside so let's go in, ok?" Lucas apologizes to his wife after getting a warning from him. He remembers the very first time that Ethan left home all because he called him fat during his pregnancy with Asher. Ethan refuse to go home for a month and just stayed at the penthouse unit that was near the company and hospital. Lucas went to the penthouse almost every day to apologize to him but Ethan didn't want to see him. Just remembering that scenario, he immediately apologizes and changes the topic.

-----

Everyone that was invited to the party arrived inside the venue a few minutes before the arrival of the couple. Lucas and Ethan had prepared everything for the celebration as well as the announcement. The alpha and his wife had welcomed everyone and asked the servers to serve the food so that they could all start eating.

*TING*TING*TING*

"May I have everyone's attention please" Ethan stood up and got the attention of all the guests by making a sound out of his water goblet and fork. It has been an hour since they have started the party and almost all of them were done eating their dinner. Some servers are cleaning up the dinner plates while the others were also preparing for the desserts.

"Ethan, are you going to tell us why we are all gathered here? I can tell that aside from your anniversary celebration there is still something else right?" asked Dr. Inoue, he came together with his wife Dr. Kimura, and their kids. Their youngest child is just two months old which is the youngest baby among all the kids in that venue. Almost all of the younger kids were looking at the baby with a little amazement.

"*smile* First of all, I would like to thank everyone for attending and celebrating with me and my husband for our 5th wedding anniversary. As to what Dr. Inoue asked, Yes there is still something else. I will be announcing 3 things to everyone"

"3?! Ethan, I thought there is only 1 announcement tonight" asked Mikel who was so shocked when he heard what his brother-in-law said.

"Mikel…*smile* I have 3 announcements. Alright, first we would like to invite you all to the grand opening of Auror Grand Hotel and Skyline Mall in-country J. My husband and I had started this project 2 years ago and finally, both the hotel and mall are now officially done. Most of you our friend have their own branches of the stores of your businesses in our mall. Although this is not the first mall that was built under the family of my husband this is the very first mall that was made by me and my husband."

"why in-country J though?" asked Dr. Janice who is also there. Since most of the friends of Ethan were doctors, he had expected that some of them wouldn't be able to attend. But surprisingly they all did by adjusting their schedule so that they would be able to be there.

"Because country J is my home country. Just like Dr. Inoue and Dr. Kimura here, I also came from country J."

"I see, So what's the next announcement?"

"Before I say the second announcement, Leo and the others would be giving out later the invitation for the grand opening. Let them know if you would be attending, that way we would be reserving your rooms in the hotel for your stay. It would be a 5-day stay in the hotel since, in that 5 days, it would include the grand opening and grand celebrations of the hotel and mall." Said Ethan which gain the agreement of all the guests. Most of their guest who was their close friends have their own businesses.

Those who owned businesses that can have branches in a mall had signed a contract with Lucas to have a branch in Skyline Mall. While Businesses that were like Alice who handles financial company just let her husband have a connection with the new business of Lucas. Since Allen had a lot of businesses in country J, he made sure to sign a contract of partnership with his friend. From other people's perspectives, the business of Lucas and his would become sworn enemies. But in fact, they were shareowners of each of their companies. This means Lucas is a shareholder of Allen's company and the same goes with Allen who is a shareholder of Lucas's company.. It is a win-win situation for the two friends as their companies grow.
