"Yes uncle and Aunt I too think that it's high time when Amy needs to get forgiveness for her mistakes. She has changed a lot in these past few weeks. So please forgive them.." Reuben too said to elder Jones couple.

Mr. and Mrs. Jones shared a glance and looked at Amelia who was staring back at them with longing eyes and after a while they opened their arms for her.

Without wasting a second, Amy ran towards them and hugged her parents as much tight as possible.

"I'm sorry Dad and Mom for the mistakes. I promise to be your good daughter from now on." Amelia cried in her parents arms.

Mrs. Jones rubbed her back while Mr. Jones kissed her head and said, "Don't cry. It's a happy day of your life. So don't shed tears today. We have already forgiven you."

He then turned to Alonzo and said, "She is our princess. Though she had done some mistakes but still I care for her a lot. So promise me that you'll take care of her."

Alonzo smiled at him and said, "I promise Sir that I'd treat her like a queen and love her from the bottom of my heart."

Hearing this, Mr. Jones gave him a big smile and said, "Call me Dad from now on, my son-in-law."

Amelia blushed hearing it while Alonzo scratched the back of his neck shyly.

Myra walked towards her brother and hugged him tightly, "I'm finally happy for you brother that you had found someone special for your life…"

Alonzo hugged her back and said, "Thank you Myra. You've helped me a lot in my difficult phase."

Amelia then went to Lucinda and asked, "Can you please forgive me too?"

Lucinda smiled at her brightly and said, "I forgive you Amy and I wish you all the very best for your new life."

Amelia then stared at Henry with pitiful eyes and pleaded, "I'm sorry Henry. Please forgive me."

Henry looked at Lucinda who blinked at him positively which made him turn to Amelia as he said, "Its okay, Amy. You don't to apologise. Stay happy.."

After getting everyone's forgiveness and overcoming the congratulatory period, Mrs. Jones said, "Guys.. let's have dinner then."

Everyone agreed and Lisa too was coming with others when they heard Olivia crying..

"Waaaaahhhhhh…"

"Lisa.. You take Olivia with you in your room and feed her. She must be hungry. I'll send your dinner there. You too need some rest after delivering a baby." Mrs. Jones said.

After Lisa went upstairs with a maid's help, they too walked into the dining room..

-----

Dining room...

Everyone was eating peacefully with normal chatting. The atmosphere of the dining hall was really pleasant with everyone's smiling faces.

In the middle of chatting, the elders started to talk about something fruitful.

So Mr. Wilson said, "Now that our Olivia baby is already here, I'm getting a little bit envious of my friend who will be able to play with his granddaughter all time.

But what about us? When will we get the chance of playing with our grandchildren?"

The youngsters specially Willa and Lucinda who were eating their food happily, stopped when they heard their father and an immediate blush crept on their cheeks.

Whereas Neil and Henry just smirked at them, completely enjoying their fiances' red cheeks.

If this particular statement could snatch anyone's attention most then it was of Mr. Lopez and Mr. Smith.

They shot their head up towards their daughter and son who were still having their dinner cheerfully without any care of the world.

Placing the spoon back on the plate, Mr. Smith said, "Yes.. You're actually right. Vero and Reuben, when are you going to give us a grandchild to play with?

I really don't mind to have a cute chubby little grandson or granddaughter even before your marriage. In fact, I'll be happier if you guys get married with a child coming in your lives."

The moment, Mr. Smith's words reached Veronica's ear, she spat out the food she was eating and started coughing loudly.

Reuben who was also equally shocked with his father's statement, patted Veronica's back to soothe her and gave her a glass of water to control her coughing.

Whereas the other members of their younger clans gave the REUNIC couple a teasing smile.

After calming herself down, Veronica took few deep breaths but it got hitched again when she heard her father, Mr. Looez saying, "Yes.. it'd be really awesome to play with a grandchild soon. I too don't mind having a cute little grandchild before your marriage. So give us a grandchild as soon as possible."

Veronica just looked at both of the fathers with a stupefied expression, couldn't able to believe what their fathers just said.

Still patting her back, Reuben retorted back, "Why are you forcing us? You should demand this from these two couples who are getting married in few days...

We are latecomers. So ask them to give you guys grandchildren first. We'll give you guys one when we want."

Reuben very smartly turned the table towards the soon to be married couples, saving themselves from their parents' clutch.

It was not like he didn't want their children..

Actually, he badly want a daughter of their own at this moment, especially after Olivia's birth as he was already swooned over her cuteness..

But he was holding himself back as he knew that if he made Veronica pregnant now then it would be hard for her to manage everything..

Pregnant women were ought to feel more tired than normal people. And wedding is a big thing so it would be really difficult for Veronica to take care of herself and their unborn baby along with the wedding pressure.

He wanted Veronica to enjoy the day fully as it'd only come for once a lifetime...

Moreover, they had one more important thing to finish which might become the hurdle in their lives who was none other Frank Howard.

So they could only think of a baby after Frank's demise and having their wedding grandly so that their baby could also stay safe..

Veronica too knew the reason of it and she mumbled a small "Thank you" to Reuben who gave a quick peck on her nose as a response.

Like this, the night ended here with the elders asking for grandchildren from the couples while they tried their very best to ignore their parents…
