They were going to be married with everyoneâs blessings.
A happy life awaited them and their future kids.
The more he dwelt on it, the more excited he became.
Finally, they got to the Shawsâ house.
As evening descended, the sky took on a reddish hue, creating a beautiful scenery.
There were only a few guests present at the house.
Lucinda and Cyrus got there very early.
Sally was helping to greet the guests.
When she spotted Lucinda, she eagerly took her hand and said, âI couldnât make it to your babies party.
What a shame! Iâm glad youâre here.
Itâs been a while since I saw you.
Do you miss me?â
Lucinda chuckled.
âHow old are you again? Still behaving like a five âyear-old.
In a year or two, your brother will arrange a marriage for you.
â
Sally scoffed at the idea of marriage.
âIâd rather stay single.
Iâm not interested in relationships, but there are plenty of men who want to get married to me.
I told my brother to introduce them to my so-called sister instead.
â
After she said this, she covered her mouth and laughed scornfully.
Lucindaâs expression turned dark when she heard this.
She inquired, âSo-called sister? Looks like you donât like her.
â
Sally didnât hold back.
âNo, I really donât like her.
She disappeared for so many years, and suddenly Mekhi found her.
I used to be the center of attention in the family, and all my brothers showered me with affection.
Now that sheâs back, it feels like sheâs taking half of their love and care away.
â
Lucinda pulled her hand from Sallyâs grasp and asked, âWhere can I find Mekhi? Can you take
me to him?â

âOF course,â Sally replied.
Inside the living room, Mekhi was meticulously overseeing the preparations for the eveningâs event.
Sally guided them to the villaâs entrance.
Lucinda left Nathan in the garden and, along with Cyrus, approached Mekhi.
Mekhi gave them a friendly smile when he caught sight of them and suggested, âLucinda, Cyrus, youâve arrived so early.
Would you Like some desserts?â
Lucinda settled onto the sofa and replied, âPerhaps later.
We have something important to discuss with you.
â
Cyrus, wearing an unusual grin, joined her on the sofa.
âOh?â Mekhi raised an eyebrow and inquired, âWhat is that?â
Lucinda wore a warm smile as she said, âWhat else could it be? Itâs about Cyrus and Noelleâs engagement.
Tonight, we gather for Noelleâs banquet, and I believe we can share their engagement news with the guests later, adding an extra touch of joy to the occasion.
â
Mekhi didnât respond immediately.
He focused on pouring them tea.
