Before anyone could say anything, Ava quickly explained, "Charlotte isn't home and I was coming here so I brought him here too."
"You don't have to explain Ava, Calvin is one of us and he is free to come here anytime he wants," uncle Sam stated.
Without wasting any time, Calvin gave Rosy a bag. "I bought your favourite chocolates."
"That is so sweet of you Cal but you didn't have to," Rosy smiled.
"When did you start being so formal and getting gifts?" Sebastian chuckled.
Wrapping his arms around Calvin's shoulder, Noah smiled, "Exactly, you are one of us after all, right Ava?"
Giving him a weak smile, Ava nodded her head. Taking a mental note of getting back to Noah for acting like a jerk, she rubbed her stomach and groaned, "I am literally starving and I cannot wait to taste all the tasty food.��
Smacking her head, Sebastian sighed, "Learn to cook."
Crossing her hand in the front, Ava grunted, "That is too boring, I would rather order and enjoy the delicious food."
"Cooking is not that hard, you should try learning it," Ellie added.
Placing her hand on Rosy's arm, Melissa stated, "Mom, Ellie is a great cook."
"That is true, you have to try the sandwiches she makes." Groaning in satisfaction, Noah continued, "They are so good and delicious."
"Sebastian is a fan of them, he doesn't let anyone else touch it," Ava chuckled.
Scrunching his brows, Sebastian snapped, "Why should I share it with anyone? Ellie made them so they are mine."
Helplessly shaking her head, Ellie sighed, "He is totally obsessed with them, in fact, he can eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner."
"Now I cannot wait to taste them," uncle Sam stated.
"You are gonna love it dad and not just sandwiches, everything that El makes is delicious," Melissa added.
Tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, Ellie smiled, "I-It's not that great, I just use my mothers and grandmother's recipes."
Placing her hand on Ellie's, Rosy smiled, "You have to cook for us someday, I cannot wait to taste them."
"Well, at least our Seb won't starve if someday all restaurants close down unlike Ava's husband," Samuel chuckled.
Puffing her cheeks, Ava snapped, "I will marry someone who knows how to cook."
"I see, that is a very smart move." Pausing for a while, Noah tightening his grip around Calvin's neck. "So Cal, do you know how to cook?"
Awkwardly his throat, Calvin answered, "I know a little."
"Hmm so it turns out that Calvin's wife is not going to starve either," he added.
Pursing her lips, Ellie gave Melissa a weird look.
Shrugging her shoulders, Melissa gave Noah a threatening glare before walking away along with Rosy to set the table.
"I will go and help them too," Ellie informed Sebastian and was about to walk away when he grabbed her hand.
Running her fingers through her hair, Sebastian said, "I will take you for a house tour later."
"This house? Mel told me that she will take me for one later," she answered.
"Not this house, our house." Without waiting for her reply, he continued, "It's just next door."
"Will that be okay?"
"Why do you think that it's not okay?" When she did not say anything, he sighed, "Don't think about anything else, I'll take you there after dinner."
Giving him a smile, she nodded her head, "Okay."
Kissing her forehead, he added, "I'll be right here, just call me if you need anything."
After Ellie left, he made his way towards the couch where Samuel, Noah and Calvin. As soon as Sebastian sat down, Calvin excused himself and dragged Noah with him.
"So how is life son?" Samuel inquired.
Sebastian smiled and answered, "It's great, in fact, much better than before."
"Hmm I can see that, your face looks so bright and cheerful now." Patting his shoulder, Samuel smiled, "We are really happy for you and I think Rosy is a bit extra happy."
"You should have heard her excited voice when I told her about Ellie over the phone yesterday, she even asked me to swear," he chuckled.
"I know, I was right there when she was talking to you," Samuel added.
Helplessly shaking his head, Sebastian chuckled, "Aunt has always been like that, she is happy when we are."
"Hmm now let's talk about something that I wanted to discuss with you." Without waiting for his reply, Samuel continued, "I heard that Ellie is an employee in the company?"
Sebastian nodded his head and answered, "She is my assistant."
Smiling at him, Samuel chuckled, "Your aunt was my assistant too, she was so beautiful and hot that I immediately fell for her." Keeping quiet for quite some time, he added, "Things were quite smooth when we started dating but we did face many ups and downs when we revealed our relationship to everyone. There were many people who frowned upon our relationship and Rosy, you know how mean people can be and trust me, it was quite hurtful and I felt really very angry. I used to snap at people and call them out for talking shit about our relationship but she always stopped me from doing it. She thought that if we don't react to them or tell them anything, they will get tired and stop saying anything. Though I didn't want to just keep quiet and just hear their shit, Rosy forced me to and guess what, it worked. Slowly everyone stopped talking about us and everything became normal."
Pausing for a while, he sighed, "Though the people from our so-called high society stopped talking, there were two people who didn't, my brother and his wife." Helplessly shaking his head, he sighed, "Well, to be precise it was Rebecca who always kept pressing on the matter than Arthur. It was so tough to convince them—"
"So did you manage to convince them?" Sebastian inquired.
Helplessly shaking his head, Samuel chuckled, "I never managed to convince them. I mean, I did try a couple of times but no matter what I said, it was so hard to change their point of view so I just gave up. This is one of the reasons why your grandpa asked us to move out of the main mansion and live on our own."
Placing his hand on Sebastian's shoulder, he explained, "I am not telling you this to make you realize that your parents will never accept your relationship with Ellie or anything like that. I am telling you this to make you understand that you need to be ready to face everything when the correct time comes. It's not that hard, you know, all you have to do is support Ellie and fight for your love and relationship until you achieve the main goal."
Patting his shoulder, he continued, "You are a very smart man Sebastian so I am going to be very blunt with you. Your parents are a bit different from Rosy or me and you know that, right?" When Sebastian nodded his head, he added, "They will definitely make things difficult for you just like they did for me but I don't want you to give in to their tricks and take a wrong step which you regret for your entire life. Just keep your mind clear and focus on a single goal which is to stand up for your better half no matter what happens."
Nodding his head, Sebastian answered, "I am very well aware of the entire situation and what kinds of problems Ellie and I might have to face, but I am ready to face everything along with her because Ellie is worth it. I know things are not gonna be so smooth and easy, especially after mom and dad return back but I am very confident that we will deal with everything together."
Pausing for a while, he continued, "I don't know what will happen in the future and what kind of situations we might have to face but I do know that there is no more I will let Ellie go anywhere and no matter what happens, I will never leave her hand."
Patting his arm, Samuel smiled, "Well, this is exactly what I want you to do because if you dont stand for your relationship then who will, right?"
"I know right? I need to stand for my Ellie and our two furry babies," Sebastian smiled.
"So, how is the new relationship life going? Noah was telling me that you both are planning to buy a new place?" Samuel inquired.
Widening his eyes in shock, Sebastian quickly looked around before whispering, "Don't say that loud uncle, it's a surprise."
Placing his finger on his lips, he chuckled, "Alright, I didn't know that."
After making sure that Ellie wasn't around, Sebastian explained, "Owen has taken a new place and there happens to be new plots in that compound, Noah and I are looking into it."
