Chapter 96“Why don’t we throw a housewarming party?” Adeline, who came to visit Isabelle that day, had suggested. Sebastien was not home, he had earlier said that he was going to a meeting.It was a tradition that they host housewarming parties for every new home and the housewarming parties were usually hosted by the wife's family. So Adeline knew it was her responsibility to host this housewarming party.“Oh, I never really thought of that” Isabelle said and of a truth, she had never really thought of that with all the drama they have had ever since they got the house, housewarming was the last thing on their mind. “We can prepare to host one as soon as possible!” Adeline mentioned, excitedly. “Mum, we have been in this house for months, I don't see any point in hosting the party again” Isabelle said and she immediately regretted what she said because of the look that took over her mother's face.Adeline’s expression became grim. She felt hurt by her daughter's statement. It mean
Chapter 97Margaret stared at Adeline, a hint of recognition taking over her face. She recognised her so well. And then decided to put on a fake smile, “hello… I didn't expect to find you here” Margaret said.Adeline, who was uncomfortable with the whole thing, forced a smile on her face too, “Hi… same, I also did not expect to see you here” Then Margaret went ahead to tell her how her wealthy son in law was planning on organising a birthday party for her at the biltwave event centre. She even went ahead to say that Adeline would not understand the feeling of having a capable son in law because she did not have a wealthy son in law. Margaret had said, “we have been searching for a perfect venue all this while and today we just stumbled on this. It is quite pricey, which is expected because only the elite can afford such a beautiful hall” Margaret decided to rub it in Adeline’s face.Adeline nodded, “Alright. I am actually in a hurry. I need to make some enquiries over there” Marga
Chapter 98Adeline was filled with doubt. “How do you plan on doing that?” She asked, “I am currently working on a budget for thirty tables at half the price they are at biltwave event centre!” Isabelle sighed Adeline then said, “let's not worry about that. We would just settle for a cheap event centre” Unknown to Isabelle, Sebastien had stepped into the room earlier and overheard her conversation with Adeline. “Don't worry. We would pay for tables twice the amount of the original price.” Sebastien said confidently. Isabelle was surprised when she heard his voice. But what he said even surprised her more.They were thinking of how they would be able to afford at least thirty tables that were going for the price of six thousand dollars per table, and Sebastien just came and said they should pay for tables going for the price of twelve thousand dollars per table!That was outrageous! “What is your husband saying again?” Adeline questioned, “we do not have that much money!” “I kno
Chapter 99They finally arrived at the biltwave event centre. Sebastien and Adeline got down from the car and headed into the building. A chubby woman with freckles and a mean look on her face sat behind the reception desk. They walked over to her.“Good day” Sebastien greeted the receptionist respectfully. She stared at him, a hint of irritation on her face, “yes? What can I help you with?” “I want to see your manager,” Sebastien said, his voice oozing so much confidence. Adeline just stood quietly beside him.“I don't remember you booking an appointment to meet my manager today.” The receptionist said then went back to what she was doing previously. Adeline stared at Sebastien, she felt insulted by that. She was about to tell Sebastien that they should leave before the receptionist insults them further. “I am Sebastien —” Sebastien could not finish is statement as he was interrupted by the receptionist “Hello! Good day, ma'am. Good day, sir” the receptionist greeted Margaret
Chapter 100This is the highest level of insult Margaret had ever received. They were in the middle of deciding a very important arrangement with the manager of the biltwave event centre and then this guy enters with Adeline and the meeting is kept on hold?! She refused to take that nonsense!.“And would you explain the reason for that?” Margaret asked, getting even more pissed off as the seconds went by.“I have no explanation to offer,” the manager said. “We treat our customers according to their priority and position in our enterprise and Sebastien occupies a very important position in our business enterprise. So I am going to attend to him first, "the manager said firmly. Margaret was fuming in anger at this point. She just realised that the woman mentioned the name ‘Sebastien’ she realised that Sebastien is Adeline’s son in law and she felt even more insulted and surprised.Margaret turned around and stared at her son in law, expecting him to say something or act but he just st
Chapter 101“But we have already made payment for it. So, there is nothing you can do about it” Adeline mocked Margaret.“No. I disagree!” The manager wrote all the details on a piece of paper and gave it to Adeline, “you still disagree even after seeing this?” Adeline said as she showed her the proof of payment then carefully kept the paper inside her bag.“Where did you guys even get the money to pay for such! It is not possible for your son in law that you picked from the psychiatric ward to have this kind of money!” Margaret argued.Sebastien got on his feet and gestured for Adeline to get up too and they went outside after thanking the manager. Completely ignoring Margaret and her son in law. Margaret stood up and walked towards the manager, “How dare you give them the date I made my interest known in earlier” “I apologise. But it's a case of first payment made. They paid first, so they are entitled to the date” the manager calmly explained again.“Where we even given the chan
Chapter 102“What are you waiting for?!” Rowan shouted at the guards, “you seem to have forgotten that the proxima group is in partnership with the biltwave event centre?! You know what will happen if the partnership is withdrawn. I don't have to remind you right?!” Rowan threatened the security guards.Proximal group was a very big enterprise owned by Rowan l and they were known for supporting small businesses. Adeline just remembered that Rowan is the CEO of the proxima group and became scared that the security guards will indeed throw them out. She tugged on Sebastien's sleeve and said, “Come on, let's quickly leave before they embarrass us. We have already gotten what we want. There is no point wasting any more time” But sebastien did not pay any heed to her words. He was not a lover, rather was he someone to walk out at the heat of the moment. So he stood his ground and waited. “Mother in law. Just stay, no one can throw us out. Don't be scared” Sebastien said firmly. Rowan
Chapter 103Margaret and Rowan angrily left the biltwave event centre that day. They also cancelled their partnership deal with biltwave event centre.The senior manager of the biltwave event centre did not feel affected at all because Sebastien promised to compensate them.At the end of the day Adeline was so happy because she successfully got what she wanted and also she managed to put Margaret and her son in law to shame.She was also happy because she knew that Margaret would find it hard to look down on her next time. She felt so proud of Sebastien. They finally got home feeling really fulfilled and Sebastien decided to facetime Isabelle to give her the updates. Because she had asked earlier that she wanted to be updated, no matter the outcome. Sebastien placed the laptop on the centre table, so Isabelle could have a good view. Then he went to sit beside his mother in law. “Hello!” Isabelle's excited voice came from the other side when she picked up the call.She quirked her b
