Over lunch on the beach, Robert expressed his desire to attend his son Dean's wedding later that evening to Amanda and Susan.This, of course, left them both clueless.Susan asked, "What made you think of seeing your old friends again, Honey? I'm a hundred percent sure that Harold is there too. You'd be finished if you met him!"Robert shook his head. "No. Dean said that he regretted his anger in the past, and really wanted to meet me to apologize. I can't make him disappointed with me."Hearing that, Susan breathed a sigh of relief without any suspicion. "Well then, that's good. It's very important to repair your relationship with Harold. In the past, you two helped each other in trouble.""You and Amanda should come too," Robert continued. "Dean invited you two.""What for? It's your friend's son's wedding, and we don't know him at all," Susan objected at first.But Amanda said, "Mom, we know that you'll be facing Harold tonight. If he goes alone, Dad will be very easily cornered by
Amanda went to the changing room, while Sebastian immediately stripped off all his clothes except for the shorts he had prepared for the bath.Feeling the thin breeze across his muscular frame, Sebastian didn't wait any longer to throw himself into the hot spring pool.A minute later, Amanda came out.Shyly, she walked towards the hot spring pool, where Sebastian was watching her without batting an eyelid.The sight of Amanda wearing only a bikini made Sebastian perfectly stunned.He knew that she was a goddess endowed with all the beauty that heaven has, but he wouldn't have thought that the sight would be this beautiful!Her skin was as white as snow, as smooth as jade, and completely devoid of a single flaw.Her curves seemed to be sanded to perfection. It was similar to the antique vases displayed in museums.This was just... completely beyond him."Please don't look at me in that way," Amanda said with flushed cheeks.Sebastian said, but he didn't avert his eyes, "You're really b
However, a second later, Amanda felt a hot palm gently touch her cheek.She opened her eyes, looking at Sebastian's face in confusion."That was the first slap," he said.Then, with his other hand, Sebastian rubbed Amanda's left cheek.He said again, "That was the second slap."Amanda looked at him blankly.Then, with both hands, Sebastian grasped Amanda's face a little tighter, and whispered, "That was the third slap. Your punishment is over, I forgive your mistake."Feeling that she still hadn't gotten anything worthy of being called a punishment, Amanda asked, "Why don't you slap me harder? You know I deserve it after being so presumptuous to my master."Sebastian placed his index finger on her lips, asking her to stop talking."Don't talk nonsense," she said. "I could never hurt you on purpose."Hearing Sebastian's whisper, Amanda was truly touched.Sebastian was not only perfect, but he could also accept the imperfections of others, and make them into something more perfect.For
Sebastian quickly changed the subject, "Mr. Kate, what time are we leaving?"Robert replied, "Dean just sent me an instant message, he said that the culminating event will start at 6:00 in honor of the local worship rituals."Sebastian looked at the wall clock, and said, "It's already five o'clock.""Yes, we'd better get ready and get going. The journey will probably take thirty minutes as some roads will be congested."Sebastian understood, "Amanda and I will get ready right away. Sir, can you find a rental company that rents limousine cars?""Limousine car?" Robert frowned. "Isn't that too much?"However, Susan cut him off, "What are you saying, Robert? We're coming to the wedding with your college friends. If they see us coming in a taxi, they'll make fun of us and call you a failure."Robert shook his head, and said indifferently, "I don't care. If they want to mock me, then let them do it. We don't live in this country, so their remarks will just be a dog barking at me. Besides,
Only a moment after they took their seats, Dean showed himself and walked straight up to Robert."Dude, you really came!" Dean smiled happily. "This is the greatest gift to me. With you here, our alumni gathering is complete. Come on, you should come with me to the VIP room and join the others."Robert stood up, returned the greeting, and shook hands with Dean. However, the look on his face was very nervous.Robert hesitated a little, but he asked anyway, "Is Harold there?""Yes. Of course, he is! He's been waiting for you there. He was even more excited than I was when he found out that you were coming here."After hearing the good news, Robert was able to let go of his nerves a little."Don't wait any longer. In a few minutes, we will have the grand finale. I will gather all the attendees and start the speech. Your name will be there," Dean continued.Robert, of course, was quite surprised. "Oh, really? Why would you include my meaningless name in your speech? I mean, I don't deserv
Sebastian replied, "Yes. It was a warm welcome given to new guests like us. From the look in all those eyes, they're saying, 'Hello, welcome! How are you? I hope you're doing well because I am too. Let's be friends."Amanda smiled seductively. "I know you're lying.""If you already know that, then great." Sebastian nodded his head. "However, think of it as what I said earlier.""If that's what you want, then I'll do it."Without realizing it, Dean had already led them to the dining tables close to the bowling alley.There, several people immediately stood up to greet Robert's arrival, including a bald middle-aged man with a very bushy beard.That man was Harold Caldwell. With obvious enthusiasm, he came forward and without hesitation hugged Robert. "Robert, you've come! This is the greatest gift to me," Harold said sincerely.Robert felt somewhat surprised by Harold's warm welcome, but soon replied politely, "Harold, it's so good to see you again."Harold released his embrace and loo
Eventually, Dean stood up from his seat and signaled the music operator to turn off all the sound.After the music was turned off, Dean tapped his cup three times to get everyone's attention, before speaking out loud."My friends, my highly respected VIP audience, I humbly ask you all not to mind watching my little speech in the main tent."Everyone fell silent, even though they were as noisy as mosquitoes before. Those people had a lot of respect for Dean as the host, or they might have some other relationship with him outside the context of this wedding.Dean continued, "Ladies and gentlemen, you don't need to worry. For all the VIP guests, we will provide a special table that will emphasize your above-average standing."When Dean finished saying that, everyone had smiles on their lips wet with the saliva of pride."Thank you all for your concern. My family will be very grateful."After that, the VIP guests in the room began to come out in an orderly manner. They were still carrying
"Well, Robert, it's my turn," Harold said. "You know, I'm a bit nervous."Robert patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You've given a speech before. It ended well, didn't it? I'm sure you can do it now.""Yes, my speech in college was good, but this speech is a bit different."Robert frowned, "Different?"Instead of answering his question, Harold said, "You'll see for yourself in a moment, mate."Accompanied by the sound of applause from the guests which sounded quite awkward, Harold climbed the speech stage."Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for your willingness to listen to this old man's ramblings. Hehehe, I'm very happy to finally be able to tell you some history."The sound of buzzing bees could be heard among the guests."What history? Does he think we didn't study hard in school?!""Wait a second, Harold is an intelligent person, so he can't possibly think that we don't understand the history in the textbooks.""Then what?""He'll tell us about his own history."H
