One day, I hope you look back at what we had and regret every single thing you did to let it end ---- The Love Bits
Francois and Dimitri excuse themselves to their wives, Francois went to Louie''s table and Dimitri search for James Su. Luna saw Francois went to Louie and he was talking to him, "I think my husband is doing something for Louie and to his family" Luna told Scarlet.??
Francois went to Louie''s table, his parents were shocked to see him in front of the table. "Mr. Louie Chen, I hope you are okay. I and my wife and our family would like to invite you and your parents for a Christmas family feast. That will happen tomorrow at Villa 8. It will be around lunchtime and it will last until dinner. Please bring your friends with you for they are part of your family" Francois informed him.
Louie who is quite sober looks upon him, and he gave him a faint smile. "Thank you for the invite Viscount, but don''t you think it will be awkward for us to be there. I mean you, me and Luna and the kids" he replied.
Francois chuckled and shook his head, "For me, it is not an awkward situation, I think you and Luna need to talk about the past. You two need some closure, even though I can say that she has already gotten over you; still, the said closure will give you a more clear mind and heart" Francois answered him.
"Don''t worry Viscount, we will attend tomorrow. Can I ask something?" Edward Chen speaks up. "What is it?" Francois replies.
"What are the twins'' favorites? Can I bring gifts for them, I mean for the twins? I want to pamper them especially my daughter, I hope that''s okay with you" Louie cuts his father''s words.
Louie seemed pleading to Francois as he looks at him. "They are kinda unique children, they love exotic pets that Jamil always give them. The other Knights also uniquely pampered them, the Ladies of the Court are giving them some gifts that other children of their age don''t know how to appreciate it yet" said Francois.
"At least we can give some Christmas presents for the twins, for our grandchildren" Mia Chen retorted.
Francois sighed for hearing their pleas, even though he knows that the twins'' will not like it because it came from them but still they know how to appreciate the efforts of the person who gave them such presents.
"Dawn likes big stuffed plushies or pillows; while Winter....he likes electronic gadgets, but don''t give him cellphones, I Pad, I Pod, and laptops because he and Dawn already have those things. Winter also like huskies and Alaskan Malamute. But they both love sweet desserts like croquembouches, eclairs, tiramisu or panna cotta" Francois informed the Chen family.
"Thanks for informing me, I appreciated it for letting me know some things about my kids," Louie told Francois. "I think you have to go back to your room, you need to take a rest for tomorrow; it will be a busy day for you and your parents" Francois reiterated to him. Louie nods his head as he stands up with the help of his father Edward so that he will not stumble. Kim was not with them that moment for he was busy dancing with Pearl.
Francois turned his back as he will leave but he didn''t forget to remind Louie of something; "Mr. Louie Chen, the collaboration between your company and our company is still going to push through. After New Year, when we came back from the City of Wise we will have a meeting on it" Fran?ois reminded the father and son as he walks away from them.
Outside the venue, Dimitri found James Su near the fountain as he took another cigarette and light it up again, this is his 4th cigarette this time. James''s mind is seem clouded by his thoughts about Lily and Luna, he has done something wrong for both mother and daughter of his; he has hurt Luna by conspiring to Suzy and Sofia about the train incident and for kicking out Lily of his Mansion. He didn''t know what comes to his mind that he believes Suzy more rather than his wife who has sacrificed everything just to let her parents accept him as his husband.
Dimitri: "James Su…Mr. James Su? I am Dimitri Dragomir, Ryder and Luna''s adoptive brother."
James slowly turned his head to meet the owner of the voice. He knew who he was, and he was surprised to see that he was talking to him. "Good Evening Sir, what can I do for you to have this honor to meet and talk to you" James answered as he puts down his cigarette. Dimitri chuckled, "Luna is right, once you are stressed out you always smoke" Dimitri didn''t answer his question but rather he said something that only Lily and Luna knows about his personality.
He gave a faint smile to him, "Luna seemed to remember such small things like this, I hope she still remembers that I am his biological father and I hope she will call me Dad again" James said with a regretful tone.
"I would like to invite you for a family feast tomorrow at Villa 8, it will be at lunchtime up to dinner. You can bring your wife and your daughter there since you have to sign some papers about the transfer of rights and shares because you didn''t follow the contract that you have signed with us.Remember our condition? Sofia can''t divorce Louie but she didn''t follow everything" Dimitri told him in a stern voice. James sighed, he just nods his head but deep inside him…. In his heart, he can''t tell Dimitri the reason why he let not urge Sofia to sign those divorce papers.
"Can I be there? I mean, I will not bring my wife and Sofia with me. It''s a little bit awkward for us. Me and my wife Suzy and Lily then Luna and Louie and Sofia. I don''t know what will happen if they will see each other that so close. I can''t promise Suzy and Sofia''s attitude" James told Dimitri as if he was protecting them.
"Okay, but for me, they should attend the said family feast so that they will know that your company and their situation is no longer that high like they used to be Mr. James Su" Dimitri advised him.
"Don''t you think, you and your wife, I mean Ms. Suzy Su needs to explain so many things to Luna. And you also need some closure to our future mother, you see Mr. James Su; it''s better that you will finish these things tomorrow at the family feast while my father is busy in preparing for his wedding with Lily Cheung. I also think that you need to explain your side to the Cheung Elders about Lily and Luna" Dimitri added. But for him, it looks like he was threatening him.
"Are you threatening me Sir?" he asks Dimitri. Dimitri snickered, "No, I am just stating the facts of the things that might come true in the future" he replied.
"My men will pick you up at the lobby tomorrow, it''s up to you if you will bring your wife and daughter. But I am inviting you it is not only for Luna and Aunt Lily; but also for the twins. Luna thought that you must get to know the twins before we go back to the City of Wise" Dimitri told him before he walks away from him.
As the silhouette of Dimitri faded, James sighed as he took another cigarette and lights it up. The face of Lily clouded his mind, Dimitri was right; he needs to know everything about Lily and Luna. What happened to them after he kicks out Lily from the Mansion…. And to his daughter Luna----after the train incident. James felt his heart tightens, "If only I didn''t conspire to the schemes of Sofia and Suzy to Luna, Louie and Luna might be still one family. If only I help Luna fix her marriage with Louie, the twins might acknowledge him as their grandfather and Louie as their father" James mind told him.
James didn''t finish his cigarette as he went back inside the venue to talk to his wife about the invitation, he made up his mind. Their family will attend the said family feast that he just got. He will just inform Suzy and Sofia about the things that I prohibited to the place. He only needs to talk to Suzy first then they will go back to their room to check on Sofia and tell her.
When James saw Suzy, he drags her to their room. While they are going back to their room James explained everything to Suzy about the family feast but he didn''t include about Lily''s presence to the said event.
While Louie and her parents are already at the Presidential Suites, Mia is busy asking some of her contacts if they could send her at least five big plushies in colors; pink, light blue, yellow, light brown, and purple. The drunkness of Louie were off because of excitement, hr will be soending Christmas Day with Luna and the kids. He made some calls and he was asking some of his contacts from the IT Companies if they could send him the latest and high tech drone to his Villa tomorrow. He ask at least two drones so that both of his kids will have it so that they will not fight for such thing if the other one wants to play. Edward on the other hand, he was busy asking his secretary if he could find some bakers to make the favorite desserts of his grandchildren.
"I hope my kids will like this gifts, Mom, Dad, I don''t know if I can still live without them. I hope and wish that Luna will give me a second chance" Louie said to his parents but the loneliness and longing for his lost love can be heard through his voice.
