Chapter 26 - Chapter 26 Gathering Dinner between Two Families

"Grandpa, today we're going to have an official dinner with the family of Stephan Korade, I wish so much you could be there." Sheena sat beside the hospital bed, on which Bryant Hathaway looked at her with smile.

"Come on, don't be so peevish." Bryant Hathaway patted on the head of Sheena. However, such a movement had cost him a lot of energy that the movement didn't last for long.

Sheena took over the hand of Bryant Hathaway and pouted, "Who I want the most to stand by my side in the wedding dinner is you." Sheena had never covered her love to her grandpa, in front of whom she could confess her weakness as a little girl.

"I wish I could." Bryant Hathaway signed with pity in his eyes.

Sheena realized what she said had hurt Bryant Hathaway that she bit her lower lip to withhold her guilty sense.

"Poor girl." Bryant got rid of the catch of Sheena and patted on the forehead of Sheena, "I'll be by yourself no matter whether I'm physically there."

Sheena grinned ear to ear to comfort Bryant Hathaway, "I always know that. Please quickly recover and I'll live with you forever to look after you."

Bryant Hathaway was pissed off by the naiveness of Sheena, "How come you live with me forever, you have our husband now, you should live with him and take after him." Bryant Hathaway reminded the identity of Sheena.

Sheena didn't want to quarrel with Bryant Hathaway on this topic so she chose to accept whatever Bryant Hathaway said, "Fine, I'll live with you two as long as I can."

"That's good." Bryant Hathaway was satisfied and reminded Sheena, "it's 16:00 already, just leave and go there on time. Don't make others wait for you."

Sheena looked down on the cellphone and saw the time. According to the communication, Lena Lim and Evan Hathaway would set off directly from home, so Sheena would just start off from the hospital.

"Please have a good rest. I will come once I'm free." Sheena stood up and nagged.

Bryant rolled his body and turned the back towards her, "Just go, I want to have a sleep now."

Seeing this, Sheena had to leave and close the door for him.

At the moment Sheena closed the door, Bryant Hathaway began to shed tears. At such a important moment, he was unable to have the health status to attend such a dinner, maybe this was the so-called the hero's age would ended in the weakened body as time went.

When Sheena was trying to take a taxi to go to the dinner which was held in the top 1 restaurant in the urban area of the city, a familiar car was just stopped in front of her.

Looking inside, Sheena saw the most annoying man sitting inside.

"Hi," Stephan Korade rolled down the window and stared at her with grins.

Sheena was surprised by his showing up. "How do you know I'm here."

"I called to your father." Stephan Korade smiled with confidence and pride, "please appreciate my smart and consideration at such a moment."

Seeing the time presented on the phone screen, Sheena knew it's not easy to take a taxi at such a timing and Stephan Korade coming to pick her up was really a favor to her. After all, at least, she wouldn't be late for such a party especially prepared for them, and she was one of the protagonists.

Looking at the face of the other protagonist, Sheena smiled with appreciations, "thank you very much for picking me up."

"It's included but not limited to." Stephan Korade was pleased and laughed, "get in the car please. I wouldn't the cop shows up and punish me for the illegal parking."

Realizing the talking occasion they were in, Sheena rushed into the car and buckled up the seat belt at a quite quickly rate.

Stephan Korade was amused by the reaction of Sheena. "Are you always funny like this?" Stephan Korade stared at Sheena with a pair of weird but sparkling eyes.

Sheena rolled her eyes at him and chose to not to answer. She didn't want herself to turn into a joke for him.

Stephan Korade cocked his eyebrows and stopped the topic. He had learned to shut up when Sheena acted like this. Sheena was not that kind of girl that was gentle and obedient. Instead, she would burst into anger if he continued the mocking or teasing.

Therefore, Stephan Korade stopped the topic, for he didn't want to raise anything unpleased in such a day.

Before setting off here, Grandpa Alex Korade had warned him repeatedly that he should act like a gentleman in front of Sheena.

"There is a bag of costume for the dinner tonight prepared for you. Please have a look." Stephan Korade said gently after Sheena had sat into the car.

Sheena leaned to fetch the paper bag, in which is a pink box. Sheena was surprised to find that inside the box was a nacarat flat-shoulder long dress. It's not of to complicated design but is simple enough to be attractive.

"Wow, so nice." Even Sheena didn't pay much attention to fashion, she couldn't help being attracted by the amazing feeling that this costume had brought.

"As long as you like it." As if thought of this in advance, Stephan Korade just smiled and said, "Later I'll drive you to a recreation club, where you could get dress up and make up. Someone will help you there."

Sheena could do nothing but obeyed what he had arranged.

Under the perfect arrangement of Stephan Korade, it didn't take long for Sheena to turn into a person that she had never seen on herself. When looking at herself in the mirror, Sheena was amazing by the great power of the employee in the recreation club.

"Wow, you did look like what I've imagined." Steven Korade behind Sheena just sighed out. "You should pay more attention to the appearance."

The long term of only focusing on study had covered the charm of Sheena. Stephan had never thought that bookworm only dressing t-shirts and sneakers would turn into such a beauty that could impress you at the first sight.

"Mind your words please." said Sheena, in what she was a little nervous for his staring with such an expression.

After the reminding of Sheena, Stephan Korade realized his eyes fixed at her for long, and this was the first time. In the past days, he wouldn't pay much attention to the girls around him, because they just rushed to come that he could get whatever girl he had a crush on. Too easy, too boring.

"Fine, that's enough, let's go back home. They've waited for long." said Stephan Korade, in what Sheena could sense a kind of embarrassment raised by her reminding.

Sheena didn't know how much all of these had taken, but the shop servant just smiled and saw them off in a quite happy face. Sheena guessed Stephan Korade must have been their VIP guest.

When Sheena and Stephan Korade showed up in the hall of the hotel that had undertaken the dinner, there was full of people that had taken up about five tables of guests.

Sheena suddenly was a little bit nervous to walk into the hall and disturbed the bustling people, who seemed to quite enjoy the atmosphere.

The dinner hadn't begun, but both families had arrived in advance.

Catching the tension of Sheena, Stephan Korade stepped in to get closer to Sheena, whispering in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, all family relatives and friends that our family had invited are only those familiar in a close tier. Most of them are quite nice people."

Sheena looked up and saw the comforting in the eyes of Stephan Korade.

Back in the memories, he cared nothing but only entertainment that Sheena wouldn't expect he would be so considerate like now. Through the days that they had gotten along with each other, she was a little bit guilty for misunderstanding him all the time.

Especially when she saw what had happened now and how Stephan Korade had reacted.

"Eh…" Sheena nodded her head to show her thanks.

"Don't need to worry about anything, just follow me and finish the etiquette." Stephan gave a small grin, and Sheena felt no fear or worry at this moment.

"Wow, our hero and heroine have come back in time." Lena Lim's shout was successful in raising the attention of the people along the tables to look at this way.

Sheena felt the hand holding her hand tightened a little big, and then watched Stephan Korade led her to that direction just like the guide.

All of the family members and relatives that Sheena felt familiar with or didn't know all looked at them with a surprised face, "wow, a so amazing couple."

"I've head that they even study in the same class at the same major."

"Wow, they look so matched with each other…"

"A brilliant couple!"

Sheena was almost lost in the appreciations on their coupling before she heard that familiar voice.
