SWNOVELS Chapter 991
Chapter 991 What About My Age
"It's almost time. As busy as we are, we still need to get the preparations done."
It had been a long time since the Lombard family had any celebratory events, so they wanted to make this one as grand as possible.
"Don't worry, Dad! I know what I have to do." There was no way he would mess up his own wedding.
"Yeah, I know you do. I just hope I can be of some help, that's all."
A man of his age didn't have much to do at home, so helping out would be a great way to keep his mind busy.
"We'll help keep an eye on things, Dad. You don't have to worry about it at all." Sarah was worried about William's well-being as well. Although he was in great health, she didn't want an old man like him to overwork himself.
"Honestly, you guys..." William let out a frustrated sigh and shifted his gaze toward Sarah as he asked, "Sarah, how are things going between you and Juan? If it doesn't work out, then you will have to undergo some matchmaking. I want to see you get married before I kick the bucket!"
Sarah lost her appetite the moment she heard him mention Juan.
"Why would you bring him up, Dad? We're having a family moment here!" She did not want to talk about Juan at all.
Having liked him for such a long time, she still hoped to get together with him even though she knew it wouldn't be easy.
William could only let out a helpless sigh when he saw that Sarah refused to talk about her relationship. Everything about Sarah is great, so why does she struggle so much when it comes to relationships? Not wanting to draw any more of William's attention to herself, Sarah kept quiet and ate her food in silence.
Felix and Ysabelle simply exchanged glances and continued eating in silence as well.
Even so, there was no avoiding the inevitable. "Felix!" William called out to him.
"Yes, Grandpa?" He had started calling William "Grandpa" to match Ysabelle.
"I'm warning you; Ysabelle is still young, so you had better not cross the line with her!" William still didn't like Felix, but there wasn't much he could do about it because Ysabelle liked him.
Felix choked on his food when he heard that. He had never felt this awkward at the dining table.
Ysabelle, too, burned bright red almost instantly.
William couldn't bring himself to talk about it to Ysabelle, so he had to warn them in a roundabout way instead. Even so, she knew exactly what he was talking about.
Sophie was the only person at the table that William did not lecture.
The group then sat down for a chat after having a fulfilling meal.
"How are things going between you and Juan, Aunt Sarah? You've liked him for so many years now. Given how old the two of you are, I think you two should just get married!" Ysabelle asked as she recalled seeing Juan pester Sarah yesterday. She believed that there was no need for them to drag things out.
"What do you mean by that? Are you saying that people of our age have no right to enjoy the dating process?"
While it was true that she had liked Juan for many years, she believed that a proper dating process was still a must.
Everybody, regardless of age, should experience the dating process before getting into a marriage.
In fact, marriage should never be seen as the ultimate goal.
"Just do what makes you happy, Sarah. Nothing else matters," Sophie said.
She truly believed that Sarah could just continue dating for the rest of her life.
After all, there was no rule that said marriage was compulsory for a relationship.
"You know me so well, Sophie!" Sarah exclaimed. She enjoyed the way things were at the time, and marriage was no guarantee of happiness either.
"Let's go get a facial this afternoon! I think a woman of my age needs to take good care of my face," Sarah suggested.
"I have never had one." Ysabelle said. She believed she was still young enough to not need such things.
"Come with me, then! You'll love how good it makes you feel!" Sarah believed that women should have a habit of taking good care of their skin regardless of their age.
Ysabelle turned toward Sophie and asked, "Are you going. Sophie? I'll go if you go." Since she had a lot of haters lately, Ysabelle figured she could use a break.
"I don't have anything important to do today, so I'll go with you two," Sophie replied.
Just like that, the three of them headed over to a beauty salon later that afternoon. Sophic and Ysabelle had really fair and smooth skin, so they didn't actually need anything beyond a hydrating
treatment.
"Honestly, I really envy you two. It sure is nice to be young!" Sarah commented. Once women hit thirty, their bodies would undergo a lot of changes and show visible signs of aging.
"You look amazing for your age, Aunt Sarah!" Ysabelle exclaimed. Very few women looked this great in their thirties.
"If possible, I would like to remain twenty forever. That's the best age to be in!" Sarah said. After all, one could do whatever one wanted at the age of twenty.
"Don't say that, Sarah. There is beauty in every age." Sophie felt that the hydrating treatment she had was good enough for her, so she sat there and waited for them to complete their treatments.
"Do you two think I should get a botulinum toxin injection?" Sarah asked with a serious look on her face as the three of them left the beauty salon.
Sophie and Ysabelle exchanged confused glances when they heard that. She looks fine the way she is, so why would she ask something like that?
Having witnessed how terrifying celebrities looked after getting botulinum toxin injections, Ysabelle exclaimed, "You have no need for that stuff at all, Aunt Sarah! Please don't even think about it!" "Believe me when I say this, Sarah. You have no need for botulinum toxin injections at all. You look great just the way you are."
Being thirty isn't that bad! At least, it's not as scary as she says!
"Relax, you two! I'm just kidding!" Sarah reassured them. The three then headed over to a mall to do some shopping.
As Sarah needed to take good care of her skin, she bought lots of skincare products.
After that, they visited a few high-end clothing stores.
Sarah was a wealthy woman who never hesitated to invest in her appearance.
In just a little over an hour, she had purchased two dresses, a business suit, and two pairs of leather shoes.
Ysabelle was frozen in shock when she saw that.
She had always considered herself a shopaholic, but Sarah was leagues ahead of her.
"Come on, let's keep it going!" Sarah even had her secretary deliver the stuff she bought to her house so she could continue shopping.
Sophie shook her head. "I'm tired, Sarah. Let's go get something to drink!"
She couldn't bring herself to walk any further.
"Sure thing! We'll continue shopping after we have some drinks! By the way, have you and Tristan bought your rings yet? Maybe we can check out the jewelry stores later." Since they would be getting married soon, it was about time they bought their rings.
