Adira oblivious to what's happening at the entrance kept eating.
Normally she's a big eater, now the pregnancy is not helping much. She feels like swallowing anything that is called food.
She finished the food on her plate before giving attention to whatever was going on in the room.
"Hold on, what if they have put a drug or poison in my food"
She thought and signed.
" Anyway, let me eat first and die later, at least I will die with food in my stomach,hehehe"
She thought to herself as she got up and refilled her plate, causing the people around her to give her funny looks, but the girl cared less.
She happily sat down and continued eating with a big smile on her face.
Sylvia watched everything from her table and couldn't help but feel smug and a little bit of anger
" She must be suffering outside, look at the she's gulping down the food as if it's been a decade since she last ate, such a disgrace to the family "
She whispered with an annoyance on her face.
" Sylvia, what's going on at the entrance, why is the Derevare family not coming inside "
One of her friends prompted her.
" I don't know but let me check "
She answered and put on the best smile she could before matching the entrance.
The quest whispers became loud as she walked to the door.
Odette Derevare saw Sylvia coming and narrowed her eyes at her.
Sylvia reached them and couldn't help but eyed Aarez for a good one minute before greeting them.
This is the heir to the Deverare family and he is so handsome,my God
She thought as she continued to look at him.
" Welcome to our house please"
Aarez looked at her and couldn't
help but compare her to Adira. The later one looks more natural than this make up fake girl.
"Done watching "
Aarez snapped at her making her go red from embarrassment.
She looked up only to see the old woman looking at her with a cold and dangerous look in her eyes.
She calmly retreated back to her parents side.
Mr Brown had no choice but to come in for her daughter,
" Please forgive her ill manners, she is jus-...."
He begins but Odette cuts him off with impatience
" Mr Brown, are you perhaps deaf or you need a vivid explanation to understand what I said earlier, I said, we are here for your second or last daughter. Do I need to explain further ,and I know that she is here so bring her out now?..."
Aarez's father who had quiet since the time they came suddenly let out a muffled laugh causing all eyes on him.
" Sorry for any rudeness, you can continue your conversation ah"
He said when he saw the look his mother was giving him.
Odette couldn't help but roll her eyes at her unbothered son.
" What a waste"
She thought.
Mr Brown begins to think if that girl has offended this family in some way.
" Sylvia, bring your sister here"
He commanded her.
" But dad , Ad-....."
Sylvia retorted.
"No but, bring your sister here right now".
Mr Brown's voice boomed a little.
"Ok dad"
Sylvia mumbled in a small voice and entered the hall again.
In the hall, Adira has had her fill of food and is right now relaxing.
She has noticed that her parents are still at the entrance but she shrugs her shoulders and decides to mind her business.
Across the room sat a man, he had been observing Adira since his eyes landed on her but the latter was so busy with her food that she didn't notice a pair of an eye on her.
" So this is Sylvia's little sister who left home 6 years ago, but why is she back now ".
His mind wondered. He decided to approach her only to see Sylvia walking in her direction.
Adira watched as Sylvia walked towards her. One look and you will see that she is fuming inside.
" Who has provoked her royal highness"
She thought as pretended to look elsewhere but luck seems not to be on her side today.
Sylvia stops before Adira's table and begins to glare at her.
In her mind, her birthday party is almost ruined because of Adira's appearance.
Adira also looks back to her with a raised eyebrow.
Sylvia
What's your deal with the Deverare family. Have you offended them in any way. They have decided not to come in until you go and meet them.
( Sylvia said with a malice in her voice. Everyone knows that Sylvia doesn't like her little sister so it's was not news.
Adira's mind goes blank for a while after hearing what Sylvia has said.
That name rings a bell,
Her eyes suddenly widened as she got up and started walking to the entrance.
" What the hell is going on", she wondered).
"Hey, I'm talking to you, where do you think you are going, you wretch "
Sylvia shouted when she saw Adira walking past her without replying to her question.
This caused the attention of people in the room on her, she smiled and made a quick apology before following Adira.
At the entrance, Aarez watched as Adira walked to them. His eyes focused on her face, as usual there's no makeup on her delicate face and her attire is very modest.
Same parents but different characters and personalities.
His grandma eyed him from the corner of her eyes and smirked,
this is going to be fun.
Adira reached them and couldn't help but look at the visitors'faces one by one until her big doe eyes landed on Aarez.
Her eyes narrowed at him as Aarez's face changed from a bored look to a hard face.
Adira ignored her parents and the other two people and focused on Aarez.
Adira
What are you doing here Mister.
Are you here to force me to do what you want.
(Aarez calmly looked at the little woman in front of him and wondered why she's so stubborn, argh)
Odette
Good day to you too little Brown. Well to answer your question, he or we are not here to force you to abort the baby but rather,we are here to ask for your hand in marriage for my grandson.
( Aarez Grandma dropped the bomb and smiled sweetly at everyone including Sylvia who just joined them)
Mr. Brown: WHAT!!
Mrs. Brown: You are pregnant?....
Sylvia: EXCUSE ME!!!!
Adira: Huh, you've got to be kidding me...
