"Thank you for coming today, Rees and Thea. It was a pleasure having you!" Mr Payne said after they were done with the lunch. It was already the time of the afternoon.
Rees and Thea decided to take their leave. Mr Payne was tired after the memorable day, and it was only wise to not overexert the old man.
Ruth also decided to return back to her room as she had to complete the extra work that she was doing for some extra money.
"It was our pleasure that you welcomed us in your home, Mr Payne. We had a good time!" Rees said courteously.
"Thea, Rees may god bless you with long life and your love keep growing with every passing day!" Mrs Payne's eyes twinkled with love and moisture.
Hugging her small frame, Thea said, "We will soon announce our wedding date. And you both are invited in advance. Alright, Mr Payne?"
"Yes. We would love to have you both on our special day!" Rees smiled.
"Of course, my dear. We will be there to give our blessings to both of you!"
