“It’s almost time. As busy as we are, we still need to get the preparations done.”
It had been a long time since the Lombard family had any celebratory events, so they wanted to make this one as grand as possible.
“Don’t worry, Dad! I know what I have to do.” There was no way he would mess up his own wedding.
“Yeah, I know you do. I just hope I can be of some help, that’s all.”
A man of his age didn’t have much to do at home, so helping out would be a great way to keep his mind busy.
“We’ll help keep an eye on things, Dad. You don’t have to worry about it at all.” Sarah was worried about William’s well-being as well. Although he was in great health, she didn’t want an old man like him to overwork himself.
“Honestly, you guys…” William let out a frustrated sigh and shifted his gaze toward Sarah as he asked, “Sarah, how are things going between you and Juan? If it doesn’t work out, then you will have to undergo some matchmaking. I want to see you get married before I kick the bucket!”
Sarah lost her appetite the moment she heard him mention Juan.
“Why would you bring him up, Dad? We’re having a family moment here!” She did not want to talk about Juan at all.
Having liked him for such a long time, she still hoped to get together with him even though she knew it wouldn’t be easy.
William could only let out a helpless sigh when he saw that Sarah refused to talk about her relationship. Everything about Sarah is great, so why does she struggle so much when it comes to relationships?
Not wanting to draw any more of William’s attention to herself, Sarah kept quiet and ate her food in silence.
Felix and Ysabelle simply exchanged glances and continued eating in silence as well.
Even so, there was no avoiding the inevitable. “Felix!” William called out to him.
“Yes, Grandpa?” He had started calling William “Grandpa” to match Ysabelle.
“I’m warning you; Ysabelle is still young, so you had better not cross the line with her!” William still didn’t like Felix, but there wasn’t much he could do about it because Ysabelle liked him.
Felix choked on his food when he heard that. He had never felt this awkward at the dining table.
Ysabelle, too, burned bright red almost instantly.
William couldn’t bring himself to talk about it to Ysabelle, so he had to warn them in a roundabout way instead. Even so, she knew exactly what he was talking about.
Sophie was the only person at the table that William did not lecture.
The group then sat down for a chat after having a fulfilling meal.
“How are things going between you and Juan, Aunt Sarah? You’ve liked him for so many years now. Given how old the two of you are, I think you two should just get married!” Ysabelle asked as she recalled seeing Juan pester Sarah yesterday. She believed that there was no need for them to drag things out.
“What do you mean by that? Are you saying that people of our age have no right to enjoy the dating process?”
While it was true that she had liked Juan for many years, she believed that a proper dating process was still a must.
Everybody, regardless of age, should experience the dating process before getting into a marriage.
In fact, marriage should never be seen as the ultimate goal.
“Just do what makes you happy, Sarah. Nothing else matters,” Sophie said.
She truly believed that Sarah could just continue dating for the rest of her life.
