Chapter 144
"It's Nick's wedding, my one and only Nick. I want his wedding to be grand and extraordinary, the most remarkable celebration of the decade," Nathan explained.
"Nick? I thought it was you," Aiden said, slightly disappointed.
Both were grandsons, so why did he feel this way?
The answer was simple: Nick effortlessly handles his romantic life, always in the company of beautiful women. He can casually host multiple weddings, enjoying boundless happiness while maintaining an attitude of nonchalance. What was there to celebrate about such a person getting married?
But Nathan was different; He, mysterious and distant, rejected high-society women's advances but was admired from afar.
Aiden had also inquired about Roxanne; she had never lived with Nathan and was merely a nominal girlfriend.
Therefore, Aiden didn't worry about Nick, only about Nathan.
He mistakenly thought it was Nathan's wedding news, and he was overjoyed. Once he learned it was Nick, his joy diminished a bit.
"Grandpa, Nick's wedding is also a happy event; we should be happy," Nathan caught the subtle change in Aiden's emotions.
"Of course, I'm happy."
"How about I take charge of the wedding planning? I'll handpick the finest individuals, assemble a dedicated planning team, and orchestrate a lavish celebration."
Aiden immediately agreed, "Sure, I trust you with this."
"Do you have any suggestions, Grandpa?" Nathan asked.
"I've been to plenty of ceremonies; grandeur is often just a matter of splurging. However, it shouldn't be overly extravagant. The Kennedy Family's reputation is solid; there's no need to show it off with a wedding. I prefer a refined luxury, with depth and style. You should get what I mean, like your status in Aurora City, not flashy but known and respected by all. That's the effect, difficult to achieve, but I believe you can pull it off," Aiden concluded.
Nathan nodded. "I understand, Grandpa."
"I knew you would understand. From childhood till now, you've always grasped my words, unlike other children."
"I was thinking of forming a helicopter fleet to scatter balloons over the wedding site, but since you want it low-key, I'll drop the idea."
Aiden's eyes lit up. "That idea can remain!"
Nathan was slightly stunned; wasn't it supposed to be low-key?
"That's a brilliant idea! Let me add something!" Aiden became inexplicably excited.
"Please go ahead, Grandpa."
"Just a few helicopters scattering balloons is a bit dull; it could be more spectacular."
"Oh?"
"Choose an open area, have Nick and the bride in their wedding attire waiting. A fleet of ten helicopters roars in, scattering balloons all over the sky. At this moment, one helicopter slowly descends, and Nick, dressed as a prince, steps out, takes the bride's hand, and boards the helicopter. Amidst everyone's envy and blessings, the groom and bride take off. Then, the helicopter lands at the wedding venue, they step out hand in hand, a perfect match, wouldn't everyone be envious?" The more Aiden spoke, the more excited he became, his eyes sparkling as if he were about to enter the wedding hall himself.
Nathan envisioned the scene Aiden described, feeling a surge of affection.
For a moment, he even fantasized about being the protagonist stepping out of the helicopter, thinking it wouldn't be bad.
He often traveled for work, frequently flying, and private jets were not uncommon.
But descending from a helicopter with a bride amidst everyone's blessings was an experience he had never had, suddenly feeling it was worth a try.
"Don't you agree?" Aiden, gesticulating excitedly, turned to find Nathan lost in thought.
"Your idea is excellent; I think it's wonderful too. But didn't you advocate for low-key? Why design something so grand?"
Aiden laughed heartily. "I was just too happy to think about being low-key. Besides, using ten or eight helicopters isn't exactly high-key. If you ever get married, I'll arrange a hundred planes to soar over Aurora City; that would be high-key."
Aiden was indeed overjoyed, his face beaming.
Seeing Aiden so happy, Nathan also felt joyful.
"Alright, everything will be as you wish," Nathan nodded.
"Yes, discuss the details with me often; I have many interesting ideas," Aiden was still excited.
He felt like a dream wedding planner at that moment, about to create an unprecedented wedding.
"There's one more thing I want to discuss with you, Grandpa."
"Go ahead; speak freely."
"I want to go to Crystal Falls," Nathan's voice lowered significantly.
Aiden's face also darkened, the previously joyful atmosphere instantly dampened.
"You want them to come back for Nick's wedding?"
"Yes, no matter what, they are still our parents. No matter what mistakes they made in the past, the fact cannot be changed," Nathan said softly.
"Nathan, it's also a fact that they almost brought disaster to the Kennedy Family," Aiden said solemnly, clearly displeased.
Hearing this, Nathan's eyes dimmed, falling silent.
He had thought about this request for a long time, mustering the courage to bring it up.
He knew this suggestion would likely be opposed by Aiden and might even upset him.
But as a son, there were responsibilities he had to bear.
Unexpectedly, Aiden still shook his head. Although Nathan had anticipated it, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of sadness.
"Alright, I understand your feelings, Grandpa," Nathan stood up gently.
"Nathan, don't be sad," Aiden's eyes flashed with reluctance, not wanting his beloved grandson to be so dejected.
"I'm fine; their mistakes are indeed unforgivable," Nathan said calmly.
"I'll think about it again. You know, despite being led by the Kennedy Family, the Kennedy Corp has many shareholders.When the group was in turmoil, I gathered everyone's strength to help it through the crisis, on the condition that those two would never return. I understand it might seem unfair to you, which is why I retired early and entrusted you with power to gain experience and as a form of compensation. Thankfully, you have excelled, leading the group to flourish and restore the Kennedy Family's glory. I want to agree with you, but I must consider all aspects and cannot let the shareholders think we're untrustworthy,"" Aiden said, his expression also darkening as he recalled the past.
