"Well yes ma'am I would love that, thank you so much," Alexa said.
"Oh you can call me grand mom or mom, you can even call me Veronica," she said to Alexa.
They both laughed and discussed more about the dinner and Bryan's grand parents also shared stories about Bryan when he was little and also their own love stories and so on.
Soon then lovely dinner was over and the maids came to clear the table.
"Dinner was lovely, thank you Mr and Mrs Kenwood for having me and Bryan over, the meals were very delicious and I am quite full now, thank you so much," Alexa said.
"Yes grandma this was lovely and I missed it. Thank you for having my wife and I," Bryan said as he held the hand of Alexa on the table and smiled at her and said.
"Told you my grandmother was a great woman and good Cook."
Alexa wandered when did he ever say that to her but she just quickly played along and then
she smiled. " No wonder she looks so young despite she is a grand mother. You know good food keeps the body heathy, all your organs are well taken care of and then it shows on your skin and you look radiant from the outside. They all laughed as she demonstrated eagerly with so much gusto.
Veronica was pleased at how much they Bryan and Alexa looked happy.
Then Rosita came in and asked Mrs Veronica of she cool serve dessert now.
"Dessert Everyone?" Mrs Veronica said.
"What would we be having grand ma?," Bryan asked.
"It is a surprise. Shall we serve it?" she asked again.
"Yeah sure, I am dying to know what it is ma," Bryan replied and Mr Kenwood smiled.
"Go bring in the dessert Rosita," Mrs Veronica told her.
"Well before it arrives, I will like to make a toast, shall we raise our glasses?" Veronica demanded from them.
They raised their glasses and she made a toast to a happy marriage for Alexa and Bryan, that they may live long to be happy together just as she was with her dear husband Peter and they all cheered and hit their glasses with each others and they took sips from their glasses.
Then the dessert arrived and behold it was chocolate pudding, some chocolate cake and low fat strawberry and chocolate ice cream and yoghurt to go with it.
"Chocolate cake and pudding, you sure know me Mrs Kenwood," Bryan said with a smile on his face.
Alexa notice he smiled a lot when it came to his grand mom. He must really love her so much that everything she did made him happy.
She was glad to see her boss smile and wish he was always like that but anyway she was used to him being like that.
"Alexa my dear, hope you love this as well," Veronica asked.
"Yes grand ma it is actually my favourite," Alexa replied.
"Wow then we are in luck to have the young couple loving the same Dessert, right Honey?" she asked her husband who actually nodded in agreement.
The dessert was served on their plates and it was so soft and most, practically every ingredients could be tasted it was just perfect. Alexa closed her eyes as she slowly chewed to get every bit of the taste in her mouth, when she opened her eyes in excitement Mrs Veronica was starring at her and she smiled at Alexa.
"It is good right?" Veronica asked.
"It is beyond perfect ma," Alexa complimented.
Veronica laughed but agreed to it as well.
"Thank you Rosita this is lovely," Alexa said to her.
"Thank you ma and enjoy your dessert Everyone. Please excuse me," Rosita bowed and left the hall.
The entire family ate up the dessert and kept talking about how Veronica made so many amazing and even foreign meals with Rosita. Cooking was one of Mrs Veronica's speciality.
Then later they took the family time to the garden where a bottle of champagne was brought and opened to cheers to the happiness of everyone and some sliced fruits as well.
Bryan and Alexa sat close to each other and ate some fruits with wine. Then Bryan's grand pa got a call from an old Friend of his so he excused himself and took the call.
"So my Darlings, when will you be having your honeymoon," Mrs Veronica asked.
Alexa choked on her wine as soon as she held the word 'honeymoon,'.
"Are you alright my Darling?" Veronica asked.
"Yes mom I am fine thank you," Alexa replied as she kept coughing.
Bryan got a glass cup of water for Alexa, as he offered her, she looked at him in surprise and took it, she drank half of it and felt better.
"Thank you dear, I am better now," Alexa said to Bryan.
"Grand mom I am sure you scared my wife, can we not talk about our honeymoon right noe. We are both busy and we would do it when we have time," Bryan said.
"But grandson I have told you that you need a break from work and this honeymoon can be a time for you to bond with your wife and pamper her and relax in general. You must not be like your grand dad who always works please son listen to me." Veronica said.
"OK Grand mom, we will do it very soon, just give me some time OK?" Bryan said.
"Fine dear, I give you a week to think about it and then I will plan it for you," Veronica said.
"A week? come on grand ma at least a months!" Bryan shouted.
"It is our honey moon and we would like to handle the timing ourselves," Bryan said.
"Alexa darling think about it and we will talk about it later on OK?" Veronica said to Alexa ignoring her grand son who was workaholic like his grand Dad.
"Yes mom but please as Bryan just said give us some time to get ready," Alexa pleaded.
"Time for what?"
