Chapter 541: Weathering the Years of Marriage
Before commencing the banquet, Andrian and Harper gave a speech. They stood on the elevated platform, adorned by flowers and lights, being the center of the attention.
The celebrated couple donned matching shades of silver and black. Andrian was charming in his tailored three-piece suit while Harper was elegant in her floor-length dress.
Leslie, sitting at the front row table intended for the close family, watched her parents-in-law in awe. Calliope also did the same, her round eyes admiring her grandparents.
"Papa, Mama," Calliope whispered, almost whistling, "Grandma and Grandpa look so good."
The little dumpling’s remarks earned soft laughter from Calix and Leslie. They sang to the same tune as their child.
"Yes, Poppy. They look good," Leslie said quietly. She gently rubbed Calliope’s little head.
Calix smiled in helplessness, "We’ll go and greet them later, en?"
"Okay~"
The quartet slowed down the music, being on cue with the emcee who handed the microphone to Andrian. The older man’s deep and steady voice resonated across the hall.
"Good evening, everyone," Andrian began, a warm smile lighting up his face, "First and foremost, Harper and I want to thank each and every one of you for being here with us tonight."
Andrian paused, slowly sweeping his gaze across the hall. The guests smiled in response, some nodded lightly at him and Harper.
