บท 218: Blessing

There was silence for a few seconds as Abi's family finally recovered from their shock. Even Abigail was very stunned at his words. She knew he was going to tell her family but to get married tomorrow?! That was completely unexpected!

Abi's grandmother began to feel emotional and tears pooled in her eyes. She was so happy for her very well behaved granddaughter to have found her special person and she could see that Alex really treasured their Abigail. She could see it in the intensity of his eyes and she knew that Alex was doing all of this because he loved Abigail. Even the men, who aren't normally so emotional, were also quite moved by Alex's declaration of love. Although Alex didn't explicitly say it, the way he held Abigail's hand and the way he looked at Abigail showed them all how deep his feelings were for her.

However, getting married tomorrow seemed too hasty.

"Alex, can I speak with you outside for a moment?" Andrew finally broke the silence.
