You Came Too Late 9
Now, he shut the door with his right hand and held his wife with his right.
“Uncle and big cousin, let’s take selfies.”
“You are free, but don’t post it on the internet.”
Mr. Denise Bailey warned.
“I know, Uncle. Big cousin had warned me.”
Mr. Denise Bailey looked at his wife with admiration before they posed for selfies. Now, Mr. Sean Finnegan turned on his car ignition and drove to the car park to wait for his guests. Then, Mr. Stephen Bailey’s driver turned on his ignition too, moved to the car park and parked beside the Luxury car. Now, Mr. Stephen Bailey could not think of what to do at the moment. He only sat in the car and was watching the couple and the young man who were happily taking selfies, oblivious of his presence.
Now, another taxi from the same company as Mr. Stephen Bailey’s driver drove in. Subsequently, two men got off the vehicle, got into the court and the taxi left. However, the couple and the young man had taken enough selfies and then, Mr. Denise Bailey spoke.
“Tim, pose alone. You can post yours on the internet if you wish.”
“Okay, Uncle.”
Now, Tim began to pose and Mr. Denise Bailey collected his phone, adjusted his tie and began to snap him. Likewise, Mr. Stephen Bailey was watching them from the back seat of his taxi and felt that he was dreaming. Then, he rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand and looked at them again. Meanwhile, they were done with their selfies and began to walk into the court.
“What is going on?”
Mr. Stephen Bailey muttered aloud. The driver, who thought that the question was directed to him, stated.
“There could be a marriage that would take place today?”
The response suited Mr. Stephen Bailey’s curiosity, so he responded.
“I see.”
‘But how did Denise and his wife get to Bricks Mont? What is the relationship between him and my son?’
He thought to himself. When he noticed that Mr. Denise Bailey and his team had walked into the court, he got off the vehicle and apologized to the driver.
“I apologize for taking your time.”
“No problem, Sir. All you need is to pay for the extra time.”
Now, Mr. Stephen Bailey, who did not wish to incur additional trouble to himself, did not bother to argue. He simply paid the bill and began to walk into the courtroom. Furthermore, he looked around and saw many cars including the car that left Madam Ann Princewill’s house some minutes ago and concluded.
“That must be Ann’s car. I am convinced that she came for this wedding too.”
He got in and took his seat on the back pew beside the two people who just walked in. Now, more people kept trouping in with their beautiful clothes, while some were dressed casually. When it was 10:00 Am, the court official began the marriage rights. In less thirty minutes, he was done, and the couple was ready to sign the papers.
Meanwhile, the gob smacked Mr. Stephen Bailey could not find his bearings and could not think of walking out of the courtroom because it may look suspicious.
His harmless visit to the court to see his Ann after the wedding had turned out to be a nightmare.
“You may kiss the Bride.”
The voice of the court official jolted Mr. Stephen Bailey out of his stupor. The cheering witnesses began to clap as the handsome fifty-six years old widower, Mr. Fredrick McLain, kissed his bride passionately. To the surprise of the witnesses, they were kissing for the first time because Ann had preserved herself, hoping that the father of her son, would come back some day.
Now, the witnesses that were behind Mr. Stephen Bailey began to discuss the just wedded couple.
“Are they just kissing for the first time?”
“As you can see. It is not far from the truth. Ann had refused to look in any man’s direction. She was hoping that her first lover would return some day.”
“Oh! Poor woman. She would have waited in vain.”
“You are right. I am happy for them.”
“I rejoice with them.”
Now, all odds were against Mr. Stephen Bailey because he was not dressed like one who was invited to the marriage. He was putting on a simple walkout wears that would enable him to face Ann and his son in case the matter goes south, and he needed to run away.
Now, he looked like a street urchin who was rooming about searching for food at any party spot, just to have food to quench his hunger. Besides, he had been through a lot of late and was emaciated and unkempt.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, the latest couple in the world.”
Now, the witnesses stood up and gave a standing and clapping ovation to the couple. Mr. Stephen Bailey had no reason to stand up, but he stood up too and clapped cheerfully. When a cuckold man watches another man making love to his wife, he may find solace in the fact that he was a cuckold. However, in Mr. Stephen Bailey’s case, he was an able-bodied and sexual active man who can sleep with and satisfy two women with high sex drive at a go. He felt like a man who was watching his wife being raped, and he was forced to see the details.
Now, the clapping and standing ovation had ceased, and the couple had walked to the table to sign some papers. Now, Mr. Stephen Bailey decided to sneak out and nurse his wound.
“Excuse me, please.”
He said to the person sitting next to him when he stood up and set to walk out. Now, Mr. Denise Bailey had been waiting for the opportunity to walk out and respond to the calls from a client. He saw that time as the right time to do that. So he excused himself.
“My Angel, excuse me. I want to make some calls.”
“It is all right, Hubby.”
