Chapter 309: Our Home
At Noah's Residence.
"I thought it would only be a simple dinner celebration?" Craig burst as he arrived earlier at Noah's house with Gale.
"It's simple…" Noah commented.
Craig looked at the decorations in the garden and gulped as he whispered, "It's like a house party Noah as if you are expecting a lot of visitors with this catering and so many servers when you only have me, Brione, Gale, Luo and her parents… It's too much to be called simple."
He thought Noah would only prepare dinner with the help of his cook, arranging everything inside his huge dining area on his long table, but he was in awe seeing the decorations like there was a garden wedding and reception at the same time with the lightings, flowers and even a musician on stand by.
Noah's face tightened and with pursed lips looked at Gale and asked, "Gale, do you think this is too much?"
Gale smiled and shook her head as she replied, "Not at all. This is perfect and I???m sure Luo's parents will be delighted that you have prepared something special like this, most specially Luo. I'm sure Luo would love it."
Gale only found out about the said marriage that day and she was shocked at first, but then she already had a hunch that something was going on between Luo and Noah. They were like a cat and a mouse caught in a trap together… trapped in love…
Craig chuckled and shook his head as he commented, "Wow… You really surprised me, Noah. I never thought you have the capability to be cheesy like this."
Noah crumpled his face and muttered, "Brione will arrive here soon. Take care of the rest. I have to go and pick up Luo and her parents now."
"Wow, really nice Noah… As in pick them up yourself? Why not ask the driver to do it…"
"Stop talking too much and I will get going now," Noah beamed, ignoring Craig's teasing.
"He's changing a lot." Craig murmured behind his back
"Many people tend to change a lot, without them even realizing it, just because of love. It's good that someone is changing for the better because there are some who change the other way round. Good thing Noah found Luo, who is bringing out the best in him." Gale commented.
Craig stared at her and asked, "Am I also bringing out the best in you?"
Gale blushed and gently hit Craig's chest for teasing her like that.
Craig pulled her for a hug and whispered, "I already told mom about my intention of marrying you and she wants us to fly there to our hometown. If you're okay with it, then we can leave after the final verdict."
"Yeah, I'm okay with anything…" Gale whispered. She could not help as tears fell from her eyes.
Craig noticed her sobbing, so he gently pushed her to look at her closely. He suddenly got worried, confirming Gale was crying.
"Why? Did I say something to make you cry? If you don't want to…"
Gale shook her head and silenced him by putting her fingers on his lips.
"I'm just so happy that after everything that happened with me… I came across you, met you, along the way…" Gale sniffed.
Craig had a wonderful smile on his lips, as he gently tucked the hair strands, falling on her forehead, on Gale's ears, then cupped her face as he whispered, "I'm happy too that you unexpectedly came into my life. I never thought I would look forward to have a family of my own until I met you."
He leaned forward and was about to kiss Gale when they heard coughs.
"Ahem! Ahem!"
Craig paused and saw Brione with a teasing grin approaching towards them.
"Geez, I thought this night was for my brother? How come there are other love birds here too?!" Brione teased with a wide grin.
Gale's face paled as she whispered, "Oh my God! Anchor Gavin!"
Craig's face crumpled seeing how Gale was starstruck with Gavin, Brione's best friend, who was with Brione at that moment.
Craig introduced the two and Gale even pinched him as she whispered, "Why didn't you tell me earlier that Brione is Noah's sister?"
"I forgot?" Craig plainly answered. His face could not be painted seeing how Gale was so overwhelmed by meeting Gavin. It turned out she was a big fan of the Anchor.

At Luo's Residence.
"Mom, I don't need to bring everything with me…" Luo commented, seeing her mom removing almost all her clothes from the closet.
"Why do I feel like you're pushing me all out… I will not bring those because Noah has bought me a lot of stuff in advance? Let me take care of my things and just get dressed already since Noah will arrive at any minute." Luo beamed with pouty lips.
That day, she proclaimed to her parents that she and Noah had already registered their marriage and Noah had prepared a simple gathering and celebration at his home…
'No?? It is now your home as well. Our home…'
Luo smiled at the wonderful thought, feeling giddy. Her mother witnessed that. She shook her head and commented, "My daughter is so in love. Anyway, I will go now and change."
Fortunately, Brione's schedule for that day was cancelled so she could join the simple celebration, said Noah.
She bit her lip because this night would be the start of her living with her dear husband. The last night she had to sleep with her parents and Noah had dinner in their house instead, and they spent a few more hours together in the living room.
But they calculated all their movements since they were at their parents' house. It would be the third day of her period and two more days… Her face reddened, realizing how naughty her mind was thinking at that time. She giggled as excitement filled in her body.
She was giggling alone when her mother came back inside, and again she was caught in the act.
"Oh, goodness dear…" her mother snorted.
"What? It's not like you have never passed this stage, mom…" Luo countered with pouty lips.
Her mother only chuckled and shook her head. She was happy seeing how her daughter was hopelessly in love with her husband. She was really grateful that Luo did not end up as an old maid.
