C18 Gentleman Evan...

In the evening.....

Everyone got ready to join the grand celebration in the evening. The whole family was eagerly waiting for the elder couple in the living room while sitting on the sofa. When the elder couple came to the living room, everyone stood up to observe how they looked. All just stood frozen at their places to see this exceptionally beautiful couple of the day. Nobody could say anything for a moment. Everyone clapped loudly with an ear to ear smiles on their faces as those two were approaching near.

Elder Allen was walking in their direction with his wife who was holding his left arm. He was wearing a black suit with a red shirt inside it with a black bow and a red cloth tucked in the left pocket of his Jacket which was folded in a triangular shape. There was a small heart shape diamond brooch in the left corner of that pocket. He had a watch in his hand. His hairs were grey but were neatly combed and arranged in a smart hairstyle which made him look more handsome. He was wearing black leather shoes.

Grandma Amelia was wearing a full-sleeved red dress long enough to reach the floor with red cute flat booties having diamonds on them arranged in the shape of a little heart. The dress was not tight anymore. It was slightly loose, comfortable, and perfectly tailored keeping her age in mind. There was a small heart-shaped brooch pinned up on the left side of the dress just below the left shoulder. She was wearing minimum jewelry like she always does, a red water drop-shaped red stone hanging in a gold chain with matching earrings. She too had a watch in one hand and a bracelet in the other hand which had a small, red water drop-shaped red stone hanging to it similar to the stone in her necklace. Grey hairs were neatly arranged in a bun at the back side of the head with a beautiful red rose tucked in it. Make-up was minimal with a little amount of red lipstick on her lips. She looked very beautiful and a graceful old lady.

"Mother-Father you two are looking amazing, a made-for-each-other couple." Said Lily Williams as she couldn’t control her excitement after watching her parents like this.

"Thank you so much, dear. It was obvious as we are covered from head to toe with the love from you people" Said Elder Allen.

Elder Allen said this because all the family members together prepared what this couple of the day was wearing right now. Being rich, there was everything this couple had so all the family members decided to gift this couple the things they both could wear to the party.

Calin and his wife prepared the branded clothes which these two were wearing. Finn and his wife gifted them jewelry, matching their dresses. Lily Williams and her husband gifted them a set of branded watches. Finn and his wife gifted them a pair of branded footwear. Both granddaughters gifted them a pair of brooches to pin up on their stylish dresses.

When everyone was done admiring the elder couple, Evan came downstairs with quite a medium size gift box in his hands. He too was wearing a black suit with a white shirt inside it with its top button undone. He didn’t like to wear a bow or tie like others do because he found it bothersome. His messy hair was arranged neatly like a gentleman, different from his usual messy look. Nobody was used to this kind of behavior from Evan so they were surprised to see him like a gentleman and that to the gift in his hands.

Finn: "__" (I almost forgot how he looks)

Elle: "__" (My handsome son)

Others: "__" (Is he having a fever or what?)

"Happy Marriage anniversary Grandpa and Grandma," Evan said while passing a gift box in his hands to his grandparents.

Both received the gift together. Amelia had a smile on her face and her eyes were quite moist but there was no expression on elder Allen’s face.

Amelia: "Thank you so much, dear!!" She was too happy to say anything further.

Elder Allen didn’t say thank you or anything else. He passed that gift to Amelia, stepped forward, and hugged his grandson tightly. Then he said thank you with a smile on his face. His happiness was beyond to express in words.

Evan was surprised at this gesture of his Grandpa. He too hugged his grandpa with an awkward smile on his face.

All the members present there were surprised and happy too after watching this scene. It’s been a year since Grandpa last talked to Evan. He was upset with him because of his bad habits. For the last year, Evan didn’t even took initiative to talk to his grandpa so this scene was a treat to everyone’s eyes. They were not only talking but also hugging tightly each other with a smile.

"My Grandson brought a gift for me, let’s open it." Grandpa was very happy. He looked at his wife and said it. Amelia knew how happy her husband was and what he was feeling right now. She nodded and passed the gift box to her husband, controlling the tears in her eyes from rolling down.

When Elder Allen opened that box, there were two wine bottles and two wine glasses inside it. One bottle was in the shape of a man in a suit and the other one was a woman in a wedding dress. If we keep them together it looked like a married couple. One of the two glasses had an outline of the face of a male and the other one had an outline of the face of a female.

When all the men present there saw this, all were surprised after taking a look at the logo on the bottle’s bottom because it was one of the expensive wines and one can get the wine bottles designed according to their requirements. That was not the only surprising thing. The most important thing was to get this wine in your required design bottle, one must pre-order it at least before one month. It had a simple meaning that Evan planned for this one month before this day when nobody even thought about this event. It was surprising for everyone that this ignorant person cared for his grandparents.

Nobody had any word to say to Evan. They just praised the gift to avoid the awkwardness.

"Thank you so much, Evan." Grandpa just said these words after looking at the gift. He was too overwhelmed to say anything.

Evan felt awkward with the sudden change in everyone’s emotions and he excused himself pretending to attend a call to avoid further awkwardness.
