"Then we should also go home," he gently replied. "I've packed up all our things and had staff put them in the car. It's been an exhausting day, so let's go home and have a rest."
Her happy feeling turned suddenly. "Will," she asked nervously,"will there be anyone playing jokes on us at home?" Pulling her head away from his shoulder, she nervously stared at her new husband to await his answer.
Wilson looked at his usually charming Selina, her eyes brimming with anxiety. 'Such a silly girl, ' he mused. 'Asking such a question.'
"No," he replied simply. "Plenty of our buddies did want to, but they all have other things to do now, so they've left. They also know we're quite exhausted after two days' preparation for the wedding. They won't be bothering us," he reassured her. It was quite good luck their friends had needed to leave already. If they hadn't, he wasn't sure when they would eventually leave.
Taking a deep and relieved sigh, Selina leaned back on his shoulder happily. "That's good. I'll take a shower and then go to bed once we get home. I didn't sleep well last night."
A sly smile curled Wilson's lips. He asked,"Why didn't you sleep well last night? Is it because you were thinking about me?"
Selina pinched him. "Get over yourself. I mean it literally. After all, a wedding is the most precious thing in this life."
"Alright," he replied fondly. "We'll go back home now and go to bed as you wish." He decided he would spoil his Selina in the future. It would do him well to learn from Jackson. It was obvious how good Jackson was to Cherry.
Selina agreed. They were about to leave when they saw Elsa and Jacob approaching.
"Dad, Mom," Selina greeted in astonishment. She still wasn't used to calling them that. She had only started since the wedding, so she felt awkward.
Noticing they looked like they were leaving, Jacob asked,"What? "Are you going home now?"
"Yes," Wilson confirmed. "We've finished up here, so we want to head home and have a rest."
"Alright then, you should head off. You two are definitely quite tired in these past few days. Just go home and have a rest," Elsa gently told them. She loved her son and new daughter-in-law, and could easily tell Selina was quite sleepy.
After a pause, Wilson asked,"Aunt Elsa, when will you and my Dad come home?"
"In a while. Your Dad's friends are playing mahjong at the hotel, so we'll be leaving after they do. But you two should go now. Wilson, remember to drive slowly on the road."
