Chapter 5

After that, Grant and Celestine went down the stage to be with their families and friend waiting for them at the table while still holding each other"s hands.

Wilheim and Millstein's family were sitting at one table, so Grant and Celestine did not have to let go of each other as they sat on the chair.

Grant pulled out the chair for Celestine, and that action was not escaped to the eyes of their families, who looked very happy seeing them togeater. Everyone on the table was now getting along when the waiters came together. Yes, waiters. And yes, foods, all with S. Since two families are all gathered at one big table, the fares are way too many.

The waiters who came brought different side dishes and desserts. The first waiter put all the foods from his tray, including Italian food, Arancini. This is a crispy and golden-brown dish of replete rice balls. These rice balls were deeply fried as soon as it was dipped in a sprinkling of crusty breadcrumbs. These cost eight thousand dollars.

When the second waiter arrived, he bought in the table another Italian dish, and it was called Osso buco alla Milanese—bone with a hole. Everyone on the table gulped when the waiter put the plate on the table. Everyone was drooling with this dish.

In Catorse Family, all members are meat lovers, so this dish will rejoice at the notion of tucking into the osso buco alla Milanese. The delicate red meat rods, steamed leisurely in a glass of white wine, were served well with a range of turnips. It also has a portion of spicy gremolata, a condiment made with a lemon taste, garlic, and parsley, which was also combined to perfect the dish.

When the third waiter arrived, everyone was shocked because the third waiter had bought no Italian food anymore. This time it was a Filipino dish called Lechon Baboy. This dish is trendy in the Philippines, especially during the peak season like Christmas and New Year.

There is a variety of Lechon Baboy depending on the order. But what was served in the table of Millstein and Wilheim family was a whole Lechon with for inches long. It has crispy brown skin that makes everyone drool, dying to eat that crunchy and juicy meat. It was placed on a big plate, and around the Lechon Baboy were fruits like oranges, lemons, and mangos as designs.

After serving the three dishes, waiters carrying trays of desserts and drinks came. There were A, C, and L tequilas served for two families: Abre Ojos Tequila, Casa Dragones, and Lunazul.

When the waiter placed the Lunazul tequila on the center table, Gregor Wilheim, father of Grant, lifted his right hand and opened the tequila. He then, using his left-hand, gets two drinking glasses and pours tequila on them. Upon running Lunazul on two drinking glasses, he spoke.

"This Lunazul tequila was our favorite tequila when we were just starting to make names for ourselves," he said.

Gregor stood upholding the two drinking glasses after pouring tequila on them, and he looked at his son, Grant, and to his soon-to-be-daughter-in-law. Gregor knew that Celestine also had a serious condition like his son, but he had no choice but to pair the two up since they were the closest among the Hot Kings and Chicks Princesses.

Gregor offered the two drinking glasses filled with tequila to his son and Celestine upon looking at the two. The two looked at him, but he just smiled before he spoke.

"Accept these drinks as a sign of my support to both of you. Marriage is not and will never be easy. I know you two were arranged marriage, but there is one thing or only one advice that I could give, and that is to never forget the importance of marriage," Gregor said while looking at Grant and Celestine.

"You both might feel that we were controlling you in with comes to your private lives, like marriage, but we never force you to do this. We, the parents, never force you to marry someone unless you decide. What I am saying is that always honor marriage whether arranged or not," Gregor added, emphasizing his advice and highlighting the significance of marrying and tying knots.

"Always remember to be understanding, respectful, and kind to each other."

Three people are now walking in the park together. The Milty Twins—Luna and Lunalyn together with their best friend, Celestine. The twins pestered Celestine"s sleep as they kept on calling her until she gave up and came with them to walk and enjoy the view of Paradise Island of Luna.

Celestine was the one in the middle of the twins, with Lunalyn on the right side and Luna on the left side. These two are clinging to her arms with theirs. Upon walking, Lunalyn spoke. "Christmas is coming. Do you have any plans, girls?" she asked.

"How about you, Celestine? Do you have any plans? " Lunalyn asked this time.

"I do not have any plans yet, but I will probably just stay in my room and read my books," Celestine shrugged and said calmly.

"Girls! You should stop staying at your home! How will you get a boyfriend if you are always in your room? " Luna yelled angrily to Celestine.

"Luna is right, Celestine. Best friend, go grind and grind so the boys will come! " Lunalyn stated this time, and she even demonstrated to Celestine how to grind to seduce men.

Celestine did not know how to react to her friends, so she just shook her head like she was giving up on Luna and Lunalyn. But knowing these twins, she knew that they would not stop nagging and pestering her. They were still clinging to her and talking about what she needed to do other than reading books and stay at home.

"O. M. G!" Lunalyn screamed at the top of her lungs, which was the reason why Celestine and Luna were startled. No—not only were they startled. Even the people around them looked at Lunalyn, who just screamed out of the blue.

"What the... What is that, Lunalyn? You startled us! "Luna asked her twin sister. She was still shocked.

"I'm sorry. Sorry. I just suddenly remember that Celestine will get married and that we should stop telling her to grind and seduce other men," Lunalyn said as she looked at Celestine and motioned her hand to her
