When There Is Nothing Left But Love

I finally found my voice, saying a little too emotionally, “Thank you, Uncle Louis. It is my greatest honor.”

“See? Fate works in mysterious ways. Louis has always wanted a daughter, and now he finally has one. What’s more, they have the same surname!” Anthony beamed.

Louis let out a loud belly laugh, then picked up a champagne flute and looked at me. “Follow me, girl!”

He led me toward the stage at the front before raising his voice, “May I have your attention, please? First of all, I’d like to thank Mr. Bauman for hosting a birthday banquet for his daughter, Ms. Bauman, because it gave me a daughter in return, fulfilling my long-time wish. Today, I’d like to use this opportunity to announce that soon, I’ll invite all of you to my home so that we can celebrate the addition of a new member to my family.”
