Ambassador of Peace 3
“Get a cup of coffee and a cup of tea, please.”
“It is all right, Young Master.”
Now, Lady Relish was feeling for her husband, who was living a life that he was not familiar with. She was afraid of what his friends would think about him. Meanwhile, she was not surprised when Denise Bailey gave him cold shoulders. All the same, she had resolved that she would stand by him until he wins their relationship back.
Meanwhile, when Mr. Denise, Bailey announced the presence of the guests and left. Mr. Arthur Bailey shook his head and muttered.
“What does he want? He thought he can snub everybody and go scot-free?”
Now, Nichole thought that Denise brought them to apologize to his father because of the call she gave to him. Then, she chose to be neutral.
“What happened, Hubby?”
“Don't let his problem bug you. Let's see them.”
He said as he tapped his wife on the shoulder.
“It is all right.”
Soon, they were at the parlor, and they met the janitor serving them with their brands.
“Welcome to my house, Sir and Lady Relish.”
Mr. Arthur Bailey greeted warmly. Now, Sir Relish and his wife had their attention on the cups of tea and coffee that the janitor was serving when they heard the greeting. They looked up, stood at once, and walked up to them and greeted.
“Arthur and Nichole, I am glad that you found me worthy to be under your roof. I am not taking it for granted.”
Sir Relish, greeted warmly with a rueful smile as he extended his hand to him for a handshake. Now, Lady Relish, who was smiling behind her husband, greeted too.
“I am delighted to see you, Arthur and Nichole. I hope your day went well”
Meanwhile, Mr. Denise Bailey was glad that he was witnessing Sir Relish's reformation process. Now, he had taken his seat on one of the single chairs in the dining area.
“Welcome, Sir and Lady Relish. Our day went well.”
Nichole responded.
“Please, take your seats.”
Mr. Arthur Bailey offered. Now, they took their seats while Denise signaled the janitor to serve his parents with tea too. After they were seated, Mr. Arthur Bailey, who knew why they came, waited for Sir Relish to say something, but he did not. Then, Mr. Arthur Bailey spoke.
"You're welcome once again. What do I owe this visit?”
Meanwhile, Sir Relish, who was sipping his tea, put the cup back in his saucer and declared.
“I think, I…”
He stopped when the janitor brought the cups of tea and coffee and served Mr. Arthur Bailey and his wife.
“Thank you.”
When the janitor walked away, Sir Relish, continued.
“Like I was saying. I think I owe most of my friends visits, and you are one of them. Likewise, I must admit that I had not respected our relationship. Please, pardon my careless whispers and inadvertent acts.”
Now, it is the turn of Mr. Arthur Bailey to sip his tea to use those few seconds to process what he just heard and think of the right answers. Then, he dropped his cup of tea and spoke.
“I am glad to be numbered among your friends, and you counted me worthy of your visit. I am not taking it for granted. Once again, you are welcome.”
“Thank you, Arthur.”
“You are welcome, Sir Relish. I think, we should pop a champagne.”
Now, Mr. Denise Bailey, who believed that the adults’ ways of doing things can be clumsy some time. To him, a few slaps would have settled the matter and everyone would be fine. He got up hastily and moved to the wine cellar. Then, he picked a bottle of wine and took it to the father who collected it joyously while the janitor dropped four glasses.
'Since Sir Relish had diplomatically apologized, I would diplomatically accept it.'
He thought, then, he faced him and saw a genuine repentance in him and declared.
“Sir Relish, I recognize your Knighthood. As our light in shining armor, you will pop this champagne.”
Now, Sir Relish stood up happily and walked to the center table, picked up the bottle of wine, while his wife looked on with glee.
“Thank you, Arthur, for the privilege of sharing friendship with you and your family. It can only be better.”
He popped the champagne and everyone clapped. Then he filled their wine glasses and moved for a toast.
“To long life, better friendship and prosperity.”
They clinked their glasses with glee while Mr. Denise Bailey who was excited clapped for them. Afterwards, Sir Relish and his left and Mr. Arthur Bailey and his wife returned to the parlor.
“Thank you, Denise, for your intervention.”
Mrs. Nichole Bailey, who thought that he brought Sir Relish and his wife to tender their apologies. Then, Denise, who knew where his mother was going, selfishly admitted with a smirk on his.
“Don't mention, mom.”
Meanwhile, his father noticed the smirk on his face and questioned.
“Nichole, what intervention are you talking about?”
Now, Mrs. Nichole Bailey looked at Denise, who had a cynical smile on his face, and explained how he contacted him when Lady Relish called on her for intervention. At the end of her explanations, her husband glared at Denise who was already laughing aloud and said.
“Denise intervention indeed.”
“Father, allow me to enjoy the honor of being capable of pulling the almighty Senior Knight to apologize.”
They laughed heartily, and Mr. Arthur Bailey remarked.
“He is truly repentant.”
“Yes, Hubby. I can imagine the impact of your visit.”
“Mom, you just need to imagine it. When I met father in his office after you gave me a call, the vibration from his nerves almost pushed me out of his office.”
Mr. Arthur Bailey, who recalled that what Denise said was the truth, laughed as well as his wife.
“Well, I am glad that it had ended on this note.
“I am glad, too. Father.”
Mr. Denise Bailey called out afterwards.
“Yes, Denise.”
“I got this mail from those countries that wanted me to supply them with ammunition.”
