FLASHBACK CONTINUED..... TWO MONTHS BEFORE ROSE WEN'S BIRTHDAY
Imperial City in Edward mansion.
At midnight, after talking to Alex for some time Louis came back to his room. Earlier he was so immersed in talking with his family that he didn't even take a good look at his room. Louis's room was decorated with bright colors like navy blue, sapphire blue, white, medium yellow and light green. Louis liked the room which was renovated by his Mother Elona and Aunt Aisha. His room consisted a master bed, a study table, a small library, a balcony where little saplings were planted. Louis saw each and everything in his room carefully. Now he wished to take a shower and hence went towards the bathroom.
After some time Louis came out with a towel wrapped on his waist and he went towards his closet. As soon as he opened it he saw that everything was perfectly organised just as he wanted. Louis thought, 'they really know what i need'. After putting on his pajamas Louis decided to get some rest.
In morning Louis came downstairs after having a morning bath. As he came down he saw everyone sitting in the hall while talking and chatting, Louis strode towards the couch in the hall and sat beside left of his Mr. Edward. Ray was sitting on his grandpa's right side. Louis wished , " Good morning grandpa".
Mr. Edward smiled and wished back, " Morning Louis. Did you get a good sleep? Did you like your room?".
Louis replied smiling back, " Of course grandpa. There's no place to have a good rest except your home". Elona and Aisha were ordering some work to servants while Stephen and Fredrick were talking about some business.
Hailey came downstairs when she was ready. She sat beside Louis and wished, " Morning grandpa".
Ray asked, " Where's elder brother Alex? I haven't seen him from the morning. Did he go to office already?".
Hailey who knew her brother's whereabouts replied, " Brother Alex is on phone with his secretary in his room. I have already told him to come down for breakfast. He'll be here in a while".
Mr. Edward replied, " I'ts fine dear. He must be busy with some work. Anyway let's wait for him. No matter how busy he is he never forgets to eat with his family hence he'll definitely come to join us for breakfast.
Soon Alex came downstairs and wished Mr. Edward morning as he sat beside Ray. When Elona and Aisha finished ordering the servants they saw that their husbands were again discussing about business. Elona started nagging Fredrick, " Can you both please stop your business meetings at home? This is not some board of directors or an conference room".
Aisha supporting Elona said, " Sister is right. I'ts the weekend hence shouldn't you'll spend time with your family? Look at Alex and Louis they both are busy but still make time for their family whenever needed".
Fredrick and Stephen both admitting defeat in front of their wives decided to change the topic to save themselves from their nagging. Fredrick looked at Stephen and said, " Don't you think that our elder sons keep getting handsome day by day?".
Stephen understood Fredrick's intentions and decided to play along , " Of course brother. I'ts true that Alex and Louis are handsome just as we are".
Hearing their talk Mr. Edward said, " Remember that you both are handsome because you had inherited my genes".
Louis said, " Of course grandpa we should live to our grandpa's standards. Just handsome like him. But I must say that my little birdie will be a handsome man too when he grows up in an adult".
Ray annoyed said, " Elder brother Louis can you please stop calling me little birdie? I'm not a child anymore. I'm already 18 years now hence I'm legally an adult and not to mention that I am handsome too just like you and brother Alex. Isn't it elder brother Alex?".
Ray looked at Alex with puppy eyes to which Alex ruffling Ray's hair replied, " Our Ray is a grown up now. He is handsome too".
Hailey commented, " Yup but he's always a child to all of us".
Louis said, " But there's someone who has beauty better than all of us?".
Ray asked, " Who do you mean elder brother Louis? ".
Louis replied , " Of course the females of our household. Our handsome faces are nothing in front of their beauty. They are the real queen. Look at my cute candy. She's the most beautiful among all. Not to mention mother and aunt are beautiful no matter how much I look at them".
Mr. Edward commented, " Of course my dear Hailey is most beautiful just like my daughter in laws".
Aisha replied looking at Louis, " No need to flatter us. If you want to admire a beauty then just get married to a beautiful woman".
Elona replied, " I guess we should find some beautiful girls so that we can arrange Alex and Louis on blind dates".
Aisha replied, " Yes sister. In fact there's one beautiful daughter of one friend of mine."
Louis and Alex at the same time said, " Please stop both of you".
Louis continued, " Mother and aunt we both are really thankful for your efforts but right now but nor do I or Alex wish to get married".
Alex countered, " Yes mother. Hence I suggest you and aunt to stop finding marriage proposals for us. When the time will come we'll tell you both".
Elona replied ," Fine we'll won't pressure you for marriage but you have to go to blind dates at least".
Aisha said, " Sister is right. As you both don't have girlfriends hence there should be no problem for you to try it out atleast".
Louis and Alex came to realize that these elders were never gonna stop no matter how much they shout. Soon Butler Lee came and informed everyone, " The breakfast is ready".
Everyone went to the dining hall. Louis and Alex felt relieved and thanked Butler Lee in their hearts for saving them today from this marriage topic.
