84 Engagement 2

Beauty overwhelmed thought of crying but held herself well. She clasped both her hands on her lap and attempted to formulate a convincing reason in her mind.

Everyone had been waiting for their reply and Clarence was letting her speak now, so she had to say something. Minutes after she said, "Please allow us to talk this on our own. I really have a lot of things to consider before the wedding."

The whole place fell silent for a moment. Clyde started things rolling. "That is fine. Just let us know when you have decided. Right everyone?" He smiled at everyone as if telling them to support.

Claire got it first. "Yeah, spend some time talking this serious matter. We can wait. No need to hurry."

Slowly each one got the hint and began new topics.

"You can have the time as you wish. Allow us to have our baby first before the wedding." Sean intervened as he stroke his wife's belly. The news was abruptly stated but all in the room got it well.
