Chapter 204: Jasmin
After a long car ride to the coast, followed by an hour-long boat ride across the open water, they finally arrived at the island—the perfect venue for both the wedding and the family reunion.
It was a beautiful place. It looked like paradise with its white sandy beaches and crystal-clear ocean waters that sparkled under the sunlight.
However, what surprised Oliver even more was the fact that they didn't go to the main island, which was more developed with resorts and hotels.
Instead, the place that looked like a private property surrounded by tall stone cliffs on all sides appeared before their eyes.
As the boat got closer to shore, Oliver could see a big beach house in the middle of the white sands and a small yacht docked nearby. It looked quite luxurious and very secluded from the outside, which made him wonder whether there would be other people coming along for the wedding.
"Hey, Grandma... are you sure we're at the right place? I mean, I'm sure there are going to be plenty of guests at the wedding, so wouldn't they need more space and rooms than just that one house?" Oliver asked while pointing towards the house in front of him after getting off the boat.
"Don't worry too much about it, my boy. You see, Henry doesn't want it to be a big deal. Since he has many friends and business connections in his social circle, inviting them all to his wedding would be troublesome. That's why he only wants his family members present here to celebrate the joyous occasion." Jane explained to Oliver while maintaining a calm smile upon her beautiful face.
She had expected questions like this from everyone who came along with her since this place wasn't exactly what they expected to see upon arrival.
Most people would've chosen to host their wedding at one of those fancy resorts or hotels on the main island since that way, it'd become something extravagant and grandiose.
However, not only did Henry choose the complete opposite of that, but he also went as far as renting a private beach house for the family reunion before the wedding.
Adam frowned upon hearing his mother's explanation and couldn't refrain from expressing his thoughts aloud. "Don't tell me he's embarrassed about his situation... That must be the reason he's doing this, right? If not, there's no way he'd choose such an inconspicuous place instead of holding an extravagant wedding."
He felt disappointed with his younger brother for acting in such a way. Despite knowing about Henry's character, he didn't expect this type of behavior from him when dealing with something serious like marriage and family.
"No, you're wrong. That's not it..." A firm voice replied right away without hesitation. It belonged to the woman who came over and stood before them with a calm expression on her pretty face—a stunning beauty with long, messy, silky black hair that reached down to her back and striking hazel eyes.
Her delicate features, porcelain skin, and curvy, hourglass figure could make any man go crazy with desire. Yet her overall aura made her look untouchable and intimidating, as if she were someone with authority and power over them.
She wore a plain white summer dress with a floral print on it that exposed most of her cleavage and flowed around her thighs like a wave whenever a breeze came by. It complemented her natural beauty and enhanced her attractiveness.
"Henry wanted to host a big celebration for this marriage, but I insisted otherwise since I don't wish to deal with too many unfamiliar people present at our wedding ceremony." She paused briefly before continuing with a small smile on her face. "So please don't misunderstand him. I hope you all understand."
Jane's eyes sparkled with interest upon laying her eyes on the gorgeous lady in front of her. "Ah, I didn't expect you to be such a beauty, my dear! And those words... It seems like you love my son very much and have such strong confidence towards this marriage."
"Yes, that's true, Miss Jane. I do love him. I've been in love with him ever since we met years ago." She answered without batting an eye or showing signs of hesitation whatsoever.
"Oh my! Shouldn't you be calling me 'Mother' or 'Mom'? After all, you're going to become my daughter-in-law soon, so we should get along well with each other." Jane declared while giving the beautiful woman a soft hug, feeling pleased with her straightforward answer. "And I also appreciate you standing up for Henry. He might have made many mistakes throughout his life, but if you can make him see the right path from now on, then that'd be great!"
After releasing from the hug, she turned to face Adam and the others, introducing them one by one. "This man here is Adam. He's Henry's older brother, and the one next to him is my lovely daughter-in-law, Mia! And this handsome young lad here is Mia and Adam's son, my cute little grandson, Oliver!"
"I'm pleased to meet you all; I'm Jasmine, Henry's fiancée." The beautiful woman introduced herself back with a polite smile. "Please follow me into the house. I'm sure you all must be exhausted from traveling such a long distance from your homes. Let's get some rest, shall we?"
Everyone agreed to Jasmine's suggestion as they started making their way towards the beach house together, with Oliver right behind them.
He looked around him while walking across the sands towards their destination. Everything looked so peaceful here, unlike how busy the main island appeared. It gave off this laid-back atmosphere, which made it feel like you were free from all worries here.
At the same time, he noticed how beautiful Jasmine's face and body were too, especially from behind as her dress flew around with each step. It revealed her sexy ass cheeks along with her tiny red thong.
'I shouldn't be staring at my soon-to-be aunt like this. Not to mention, I don't want to ruin any relationships here because of my horniness.'
Oliver thought and decided to look away. But just then, Jasmine turned her head around and caught him staring right at her butt.
She raised one of her brows in amusement at seeing this young man staring at her butt. However, she didn't say anything and kept walking with the rest of them until they reached their destination.
Oliver felt embarrassed having been caught in such a state by a lady he met for the first time. He didn't want her to think of him as an immature pervert. Yet, even though it wasn't intentional, he couldn't help himself from taking a few more peeks at such a gorgeous beauty.
