Betrothed To Moron

"Mum, what are you insinuating? They came today!" Evelyn shouted over the phone.

"Yes, come home right now" Mrs Brown replied.

"Why will I? I told you I don't want this!" She said,

"Please, Evelyn don't run away, come home straight" Mrs Brown pleaded.

"Who am I if I can't come? If my father believes I have my own virtue, he shouldn't have sold me to his friend's son," Evelyn said angrily.

She wanted to do her makeup for her photoshoot when her phone rang and it turned out to be her mother. She was asked to come home, her betrothed family are home already and she is angry and sad at the same time.

"What? An arranged marriage!" Amber shouted.

Evelyn quickly hung up the phone and Amber bursted into tears.

"Sis, that means I wouldn't work for you again, then who is gonna employ me because of my clumsy nature!" Amber sobbed while Evelyn wiped her tears.

"Who says you wouldn't work as my PA again, we are glued by gum, I would rather run away with you than to get married!" Evelyn pacifies her and she blushes.

"Sis, did you mean it?" Amber asked with a smile.

"Did you expect me to say that... I will be back and listen, don't tell this to anyone" Evelyn replied rushing out to her car.

"Sis, you have to shoot for Skincare and Mega cream!" Amber shouted but Evelyn already zoomed off.

Evelyn Browns is a high ranking model and she was well known in her country, America and internationally.

She is not famous because she is the only daughter of the Brown family, the second richest family in America but because of her cheerful and gentle nature.

"I just wish his betrothed is handsome and popular gosh!..I can't wait to snap with him and post it on my social media handles" She shouted but covered her mouth quickly.

"She said not to tell anyone!" She mutters, biting her lower lips.

****

Mrs Brown was outside all while praying for Evelyn to show up and her prayer yielded.

She sighs when Evelyn comes out of the car, she knows Evelyn Brown is an obstinate girl like her father and wouldn't agree.

"Mum,what are you telling me over the phone?" She asked.

"The truth, Evelyn!" Mrs Brown replied.

"Let's go in first, please act normal" Mrs Brown pacifies.

"Yeah," She replied and entered.

"I guess this is my daughter in-law" Mrs Valentino mutters with a smile.

The Valentino family are well known all over the world and America because they are the richest family.

Valentino and the Brown family were friends before Mr Brown and Mr Valentino died.

But during their friendship period, Mr Brown made a vow to Mr Valentino, that their children should get married when they are eighteen.

"Yes she is," Mrs Brown replied.

Evelyn sat down beside Mrs Brown.

"If you have agreed, I have chosen a date for them" Mrs Valentino mutters and picks her phone from her handbag.

"Where is the groom himself, is he a lame that can't even walk, making you come on his behalf?" Evelyn asked, staring at the perplexed Mrs Valentino.

Mrs Valentino had a surprise expression by Evelyn outburst.

She thought Evelyn would agree easily and not question because she heard Evelyn is a gentle girl.

"Well, he is on a business trip and he told me to come on his behalf" She replied, staring at Evelyn.

"Then...I don't support this marriage,I have to see my groom before jumping into the marriage, even if it's an arranged marriage" Evelyn replied hotly standing up beside Mrs Brown.

Mrs Brown pinched her but Evelyn didn't look like she got the clue.

"Calm down, daughter-in-law,he is truly on a business trip,he knows you and he wanted to get married to you before he went on a business trip but I told him, I will inform you first. So I wanted to use this as a surprise for him" Mrs Brown lied because his son didn't know that he was getting married.

"Then, tell him when he returns from his business trip that I, Evelyn Brown, rejected this marriage" She replied and left immediately.

"Evelyn!" Mrs Brown shouted going after her but she returned back when she saw that Eve had driven out of the parking lot.

"Maybe you should come some other time, I will talk to her" Mrs Brown said to Mrs Valentino who had stood up.

"Alright, I will take my leave" Mrs Valentino replied and left the house.

****

As Evelyn left the house, she went directly to a playground where she always came anytime she found herself in a mess or when she was sad.

The playground is not very far from her home. She often comes here because nobody can bother her, not even her fans.

She sat on the swing, swinging forth and back, nonstop.

She was very furious,the way the woman's words sound.She thought over and over about it.

"Don't kill yourself woman!" A guy said suddenly, making Evelyn stop swinging.

Evelyn maintained eye contact with the latter but she wasn't able to withdraw her eyes.

The guy's blue eyes are so charming and his plump pink lips look cute, his handsomeness and tallness is beyond comparison.

Evelyn couldn't compare her music idol crush to him, he looks just like a demigod.

She stares at his cute brow and giggles silently.

"Hey kiddo! Are you also here to think over the mess you are in?" Evelyn asked.

"Not kiddo, I'm twenty" He replied wanting to sit on her leg.

"Wtf!" Evelyn cursed and pushed him away making him fall on his butt.

"What is that?" The guy shouted standing up from the floor.

Evelyn immediately thought he was a pervert.

"Are you a pervert or what?" Evelyn asked.

"Do I look like one?" he mutters with a wink and sits at the available swing beside Evelyn.

Evelyn chuckled and faced him.

"What is this woman's name?" he asked.

"I'm popular! Do I need to tell you my name, but if you don't know I'm Eve!"

"Your name?" Evelyn asked, looking at him.

"Anonymous" he replied, making Evelyn chuckle.

"So, Anonymous, why are you here?" She asked.

"To play" he replied smiling and Evelyn almost fell from the swing because of his bright smile, his smile attracted her towards him.

"To play...and you said you are twenty?" Evelyn mocked.

"Of course, I'm twenty or am I not" he mutters, ruffling his hair in frustration.

"Anonymous, you made my day, I will leave now" Evelyn replied walking away.

"Your name" he shouted at her back.

"Anonymous 2" Evelyn replied and left to where she packed her car.

She started the car and drove back to her workplace, ANNING.

She is their best model in ANNING and her boss cherishes her and wouldn't allow her to leave because of anything.

****

"Drake, what are you doing here?" Mrs Valentino asked seeing him on a swing.

She has been searching for him since she returned home, she remembers vividly that she locked his room door.

All thanks to the tracker she hid in his body.

"To play, of course," he replied, not looking at her face.

"Drake, I clearly told you not to go out,you are a CEO, you will bring shame to our Valentino family if you are seen like this" She replied and he stood up immediately.

Drake Valentino is a well known CEO,even though he is twenty, he is known for his intelligence and handsomeness, he is going through an illness that makes him act like a moron, this illness last happened to his grandfather and the illness lasted for five years.

Mrs Valentino has called many doctors to do a check up for him but they aren't able to say anything, she silenced them with money not to expose her son's situation to the world.

She wanted to avoid being mocked and degraded.

She assumes the doctors aren't competent, so she called for their family doctor in San Francisco to fly home.

He arrived two weeks later and checked him also but it was just like the other, he didn't see anything, so she advised Mrs Valentino to find him a wife.

Mrs Valentino then remembered her husband's last word about his friend's promise to give his daughter to their son to marry.

She quickly heads to the Browns mansion.

"What did I do to deserve all the insult?" he mutters crying while Mrs Valentino sighs.

"Let go home" She mutters but Drake ignores her like a plague.

"Let's go home, Drake!" She mutters,her voice getting unfriendly and harsh.

"I didn't ask for the Anonymous 2 number," he mutters, biting his lower lips.

"Who the hell is Anonymous 2, did someone already see you like this, by whatever let go home" she shouted and he started his tears again.

"Always shouting at me" he replied and walked angrily to the car.

Mrs Valentino rushed after her thinking he was running away but she walked slowly when she saw him enter the car.

"Driver, let go" Drake mutters to the driver who reluctantly nodded negatively.

"What about madam?" The driver asked.

"She should be able to trek, she is not that old" He replied and the driver zoomed off.

"Drake, driver...wait!" Mrs Valentino shouted running after the moving car.

CHAPTER 2

Mrs Valentino gives a relieved sigh because her phone is with, if not a whole her, the wife of the richest man in America would trek.

She dials the number of their second driver, The Valentino's have up to ten drivers.

The driver arrived immediately after the call,if he gets sacked, there isn't a place he will get the amount the Valentino's are paying.

They arrived at home shortly and Mrs Valentino went straight to Drake's room.

But the doors were locked, she knocked on the door repeatedly and Drake didn't open up.

"Drake, if you are listening, you need to be well behaved as of now because soon you are getting married!" Mrs Valentino said angrily.

"Marriage!, What is that? Me being tied to a girl right, I wouldn't, go and marry the girl" he replied without opening the door.

Mrs Valentino smirks and leaves his door.

She was going to the compound to meet the driver who acted stupidly, but surprisingly she met the driver in the sitting room and on his knees.

"I'm sorry Mrs Valentino, I couldn't decline the young master order, please pardon me!" He begged.

"Who gave birth to young master? Who employs you? Who paid your salary?" Mrs.Valentino asked.

"Of course, you are the one, after Mr Valentino's death" he replied and Mrs Valentino signals him to stand up, which he did trembling.

One thing about Mrs Valentino is that she shouldn't be offended, if offended then the human should be awaiting immediate judgement.

"That is the way out, and never come back here" She said.

"Please, Mrs Valentino, I promise this wouldn't happen again" he pleaded crying.

"Of course, it wouldn't, because this is your last day in this house" She replied and a guy entered.

The guy bowed and Mrs Valentino smiled.

"It's good, you are here Mudrock, throw this thrash out" She said to the guy.

Johnny Mudrock, he is more like a bodyguard to Mrs Valentino, people only see his first eye, the second is covered with an eye patch and he is always in black suit.

She trusted him the most and he just arrived from her errands.

"1, 2" before Mudrock can count the rest, the driver is nowhere to be found.

"So how far..."

****

"Evelyn, where are you? You keep mega cream waiting, I asked you from Amber and she is staring like she is mute" Mr Ronald, Evelyn's boss asked.

"There is an emergency at home, so I went there," Evelyn replied.

"I hope there is no problem?" He asked.

"Nope," Evelyn replied.

"Then we can continue to shoot for Mega cream," Mr Ronald said.

"Yes, do I need to change or have a little makeup?" She asked.

"Of course, you have to clean your makeup, we will use your nude face for before and your light make up face for after" Mr Ronald replied.

"Alright" She replied and left for her dressing room while Amber followed hastenstly falling down.

Mr Ronald PA, Nathan quickly rushed there, he helped her up but she glared maliciously at him.

"Are you hurt?" He asked touching her hand but she removed his hand from hers and stood up.

Evelyn looks back at Amber and shakes her head at her clumsy nature.

"I told you not to interfere in my business again, I detest your ugly face" she replied and Nathan left heartbroken.

They enter Evelyn's dressing room.

Evelyn stretches her hand while Amber quickly gives her some tissue.

She sat in front of the glass and wiped her makeup carefully.

"You are always falling and he is always helping you up, what does that mean?" Evelyn said and Amber looked down.

"I guess it's love, why don't you give the boy a chance, you are both 18 and Nathan is a good boy" Evelyn said and Amber handed her another tissue which she used to clean her lipstick.

"At least, you can date a person who loves you and not a person you have never seen like in my case" She said with a sigh.

"Sis, in my own case, I'm looking for a prince charming, who is so tall and has pink lips with sexy dimples like my Drake," Amber replied dreamingly making Evelyn remember the guy, who called himself anonymous.

"I will say it's not a dream because I have seen one but he doesn't have dimples" She replied.

"Sis, should I show you my Drake, he is the youngest richest billionaire in America, he is your age," Amber replied, bringing out her phone.

"The shoot is starting now" Nathan said and maintained eye contact with Amber before withdrawing his eyes.

"Alright," Evelyn replied and stood up, Amber followed.

"Camera, are you ready?" Mr Ronald asked the photographer.

"Of course" He replied and a white chair was carried there by the trainees.

Evelyn sat on the white chair, she was wearing an off shoulder gown and her hair was tied up by one of the trainees.

The off shoulder gown exposed her white radiant skin.

A white bulb exactly like the color of her skin shone brightly under her head.

"Photographer, are you set? Evelyn straightens your back" Mr Ronald.

"Are you set, Miss Evelyn?" The photographer asked.

"Of course" she replied and the photographer clicked the camera.

"Give us another pose!" Mr Ronald said to Evelyn.

Evelyn pouted but the photographer didn't click the camera.

"Click it, she looks cute, and the two are okay, I'm sure Mega cream will pick the one she pouted" Mr Ronald said with a smile and the photographer clicked the camera.

"You did well Evelyn, the second shoot will be after an hour" Mr Ronald said, people clap and Mr Ronald was about to leave

"Lunch treat on me!" Evelyn said and Mr Ronald walked back to them, the workers all laughed.

If there is another thing Mr Ronald likes after his work, then it is good.

They all drove to a restaurant in the company bus.

They arrived at the Value restaurant.

Each table has two chairs, it's you and your partner and it's designed in red and white.

"Wtf, how are we supposed to sit? This restaurant is for couples," One of the trainees said.

A girl rushed to them.

"You can have your seat, but we are sorry, the chairs are designed for couples because it's Valentine's Day.

"Fuck, we all forgot already that it's february 14" Mr Ronald said.

"Well, I know," Nathan said and maintained eye contact with Amber.

"Is that why you drop this flower when Amber falls down and you are wearing white shirt and red pants, so cute!" A trainee added.

Amber looks at him and Nathan prays for the ground to open and swallow him.

"Happy Valentine's, everyone," Evelyn shouted.

"Am I not seeing clearly, Miss aren't you the popular model Evelyn Brown or am I seeing the whole ANNING?" The waitress asked.

"Of course, would you like to take my autograph or I should snap a picture with you?" Evelyn asked.

"Oh, thank you, you are so nice and happy 21 birthday" The waitress said and ANNING team gasp.

"We don't remember our goddess' birthday, happy birthday Evelyn," Mr Ronald said, hugging her.

"I have even forgotten my birthday," Evelyn said, breaking the hug.

"So that means today is my prince charming, Drake's birthday, he always celebrates his birthday on sis day, gosh can't wait to greet him" Amber said and the people ignore while Nathan feels sad.

"So, all bills on the birthday girl" Mr Ronald said to Evelyn as ANNING team took turns in hugging her.

Happy birthday, sis!

More popularity, role model!

Young forever, happy birthday!

Happy birthday, ANNING goddess!

Pray to see your face as an American goddess cuz you are ANNING goddess already!

With many wishes, Evelyn's smile, she classified the ANNING team as her family.

"Thank you, everyone," Evelyn replied happily.

"Where is the waitress?" Mr Ronald asked.

"Here sir!" She said coming with a man.

"We are happy to have you in our restaurant today and we are happy to even have Miss Evelyn here and all bills on value restaurant because it's her birthday and Valentine" The owner of the Value restaurant said.

"Oh, we really appreciate it and I will repay this favour by advertising your restaurant for five months at no charge," Evelyn replied with a smile.

"Thank you so much Miss Evelyn and happy birthday" The owner of the restaurant replied.

"So you can come anytime you are ready, even tomorrow," Mr Ronald added.

"Sis, can I snap with you now?" The waitress asked.

"Sure darling!" Evelyn replied.

The staff and the owner of the Value restaurant all snapped with Evelyn and the ANNING team and they left to bring their orders.

"Since the table is for two, why don't we chill, I, the boss lady, will set you up with your partner, rest!" Evelyn said with a smile and they saluted her playfully.

She starts to matchmake until Amber, Nathan and Mr Ronald remain.

Amber was praying to be matchmake with Mr Ronald.

"Amber and Nathan!" Evelyn said and Amber's eyes widened.

"Sis, no!" She shouted but Evelyn ignored her by winking at Nathan.

Mr Ronald sat down and Evelyn sat beside him tiredly after the whole matchmaking.

"I want to tell you something!" Mr Ronald said, looking at Evelyn.

"I want to tell you something Evelyn," Mr Ronald said as she stopped drinking the red wine and looked at him.

"I'm listening, Mr Ronald!" Evelyn replied and her phone rang immediately.

She brought out her phone from her handbag.

She checks the caller id and it turns out to be her mother, Mrs Brown.

"Excuse me," She said to Mr Ronald.

"Take your time!" He replied and she picked the call.

"Hello Mum!" She mutters.

"Young lady! Where did you keep your phone? I have been calling you since" Mrs Brown asked in a scolding manner.

"Doesn't know you've been calling, eating lunch with colleagues at a restaurant!" She replied.

As she was chatting with her mum, Mr Ronald was looking at her natural flawless face, to him, Evelyn is his goddess and not ANNING goddess.

He loves her a lot but he is afraid she might not work with him again if he discloses his feelings to her and it's love at first sight, he has love her the very day she arrives into ANNING, she arrives at the age of 18 and she looks so young and charming back then.

"Can you please don't stay long and come home, let's discuss about the..." she was still saying when Evelyn hung up, she can't afford Mr Ronald to hear about the marriage.

She put back the phone in her handbag and faced Mr Ronald.

"Yes, what did you want to say Mr Ronald?" Evelyn asked.

"Forget about it and let's celebrate your birthday cheerfully," Mr Ronald replied, munching the hamburger hungrily.

"Okay..."

****

"Don't look at my face!" Amber said to Nathan for the uptenth time which he did instantly.

Amber stood up and Nathan looked up and held her hand.

"Where are you going?" Nathan asked and she snatched her hand from him.

"Restroom!" She replied and fell down.

Nathan wanted to help her up but he threw his hand away making him fall on her and their lips met coincidentally.

Amber's eyes were wide open, she had this surprise look.

All eyes immediately turn to them hearing the clash of someone falling down.

People started to take their pictures including Evelyn, she stood up hastenstly when she saw them.

Gosh! What a lovely couple on Valentine's day!

Amber, so you are in love with him all this time while you are playing hard to get!

Geez!, you are a man Nathan!

Amber pushed Nathan away and rushed to the restroom in embarrassment.

Nathan's heart beat wildly like it's gonna explode, he stood up from the ground and touched his lips.

He blush badly thinking about the kiss.

He remembers her lips feel so soft, just like an intoxicating alcohol or medicine.

Amber folded her fist in anger.

"How dare that bastard" she mutters angrily, washing her embarrassed face.

"Sis has our photo, I must make sure she doesn't post it on her social media, I can still pull a stunt to scare the rest to delete it!" She shouted and ran out.

She rushed to Evelyn's table.

"Sis, please can you delete the photo" Amber begged.

"Nope!," Evelyn replied without giving her a glance.

"Please, sis," Amber begged.

"On a condition" Evelyn replied.

"Alright, sis" She replied with a sigh.

"Go and sit down gently with Nathan!" Evelyn ordered.

Evelyn knows the kind of PA she has, whenever Amber is embarrassed, she prefers to run away.

"Huh, sis!" Amber whined.

"Give and take, remember!" Evelyn said with a wink.

"Gosh" Amber replied and left to sit with Nathan.

The staff that welcomed them came to their table and they looked up.

"Today is the Valentine day and we are welcoming couples in our restaurant, but among all the couples that have been here today, you are the best intimate couple, so Value restaurant is gifting our lovely couple this and a trip to Korea to view the Namsan tower together" She mutters with a smile and in her hand are two ticket and two wrapped up gift.

Nathan collected the wrapped gift but Amber didn't collect it and the staff smiled.

"Thank you!" Nathan replied and collected both the tickets and the wrapped gift.

Nathan holds the gift awkwardly and a message enters Amber's phone.

Amber stood up and left for the restroom immediately.

She enters the restroom and met one of the trainees.

"What's up Dorcas?" Amber asked.

"You told me you aren't dating Nathan and now you are flaunting your love in public" Dorcas said hurtfully.

"Seriously Dorcas, we aren't dating!" Amber replied.

"I don't want to hear" Dorcas replied and left while Amber sighs.

****

"Mr. Ronald, don't you think it's time we go back to work, and why is Stephen not here?" She asked.

"Stephen is doing something at the company!" He replied.

"Okay, then we need to take some food to him," Evelyn said.

"Yes, I overheard your mum telling you to come home," Mr. Ronald said.

"I can go after the photoshoot and moreover it's not important!" Evelyn replied standing up.

"Nope, I will call Stephen to bring your car, you can rest at home and we will continue the photoshoot tomorrow" Mr. Ronald said looking at her face stylishly.

"Alright," She replied, dropping her phone into her handbag.

A guy entered with a smile.

"Stephen, you are here already, how come, Mr. Ronald and I were still discussing about you!" Evelyn said and Stephen pulled her into a bone cracking hug and Evelyn chuckled.

In their company, they have many people who make them smile or crack their ribs.

They have the clumsy madam, the foodie and the joker, Stephen! He is the company's personal make-up artist and Mr. Ronald cousin.

He disengaged from the hug and looked at her face.

"Baby, when did you leave, not seeing for a second, I can't be alive" he said, holding his chest dramatically and Mr. Ronald sat down and watched.

"Is that not Stephen's voice, though we left him at the company" One of the trainees.

Stephen faces them all and smiles.

"Have you ever escaped your shadow or your breath! Nope it's impossicant and moreover I'm here not because of you guys but because of mon amour" He replied diverting his attention back to Evelyn.

"Oh dear, you said you can't be alive if you can't see me for a second, is it! How many hours did we spend already?, 1 and you are not dead" Evelyn replied.

"Oh baby, don't be like this on your birthday," He replied and Evelyn held his ear tight.

He winces in pain and starts to beg.

"Please, darling don't be hard on me on your birthday, moreover you are 21 and older than me, you should be more mature" He mutters and Evelyn steps on his toes with her high heel.

"Death! Yes is what I am seeing, dear I brought your car key and you can immediately go home" he said and Evelyn withdrew her hand and leg.

"Alright, darling, this is for you,see y'all tomorrow " Evelyn replied tipsy because of the red wine and handing Stephen the food she got for him.

"Thanks!" Stephen grins and brings out a pizza.

He chew on the pizza and smile.

"Will give you a call sissy!" Amber shouted after Evelyn who nodded.

"Love you!" Stephen shouted at her back, making Evelyn smile.

Stephen acts all naughtily.

"Brother, why did you let her go, I thought you are gonna let her come to the company, she will be surprised by her birthday and your proposal to be her boyfriend" Stephen whispered to Mr. Ronald.

"I'm not sure I can face her. I will leave her alone, if I can't date her then she can work in my company!" Mr. Ronald replied, sipping Evelyn leftover wine.

Mr. Ronald didn't forget her birthday a bit, they made a surprise for her and he was planning to ask her to be his girlfriend but what can he do, he doesn't have the strength to withstand her rejection.

So he thinks keeping his feelings is better than telling her.

"Gosh! Brother, you aren't like me, you sulk at expressing feelings but an expert in company issues, plus she is wicked!, My ear still hurt" he cried rubbing his ear.

"That's what you get for being a pervert!" Mr. Ronald replied.

"Whatever..."

"Guys, we gotta go!" Mr. Ronald said and they started to murmur.

"Stop whining, we aren't working, you all can go home!" He added and they beam in happiness which makes him chuckle.

****

Evelyn arrived home, she threw her handbag on the nearest couch and collapsed on the sofa.

Mrs. Brown, noticing her presence, came out of her room.

"Welcome Evelyn! Why don't you have a shower?" Mrs. Brown asked.

"I think that will do!" Evelyn replied and went upstairs to her room.

Mrs. Brown sees her bag on the couch and smiles before leaving for the dinning table.

She came down after some minutes, cladded in a sports bra and a bombshort.

"Come to the dinning, '' Mrs. Brown said from the dining room.

"Alright!" Evelyn replied and dashed to the dining room.

She opened her mouth in shock and surprise which make Mrs. Brown smile and a tear escape her eyes.

"Of course, I didn't forget your day, how can I forget the day I brought my princess to this world" Mrs. Brown said and Evelyn pulled her in a hug.

"I thought you forgot mum" She also cried.

"No, princess, mum cannot...look this is your favorite red velvet cake" Mrs. Brown cried.

Evelyn wiped Mrs. Brown's tears with her finger and smiled.

"Shall I make a wish?" She asked.

"Of course," Mrs. Brown replied.

Evelyn closes her eyes and makes a wish before opening it back.

She blows the candles and Mrs. Brown smiles.

"What did you wish for?" Mrs. Brown asked.

"I wish that you wouldn't grow old and leave me all alone in this world like my father" She replied and Mrs. Brown chuckled.

"Well, I'm not getting old at all, are you kidding me, I look like I'm in my early thirties, gosh! You don't have eyes! Mrs. Brown replied and Evelyn smiled.

But she did wish, but it's two things, she has said the first one and the second one is her mum should forget about the marriage and she shouldn't get married.

"Alright mum, shall we cut the cake at the spell of love?" She said,

"L, O, V, E" They spelt and cut the cake.

Evelyn took part of the cake and rubbed it at Mrs. Brown's nose.

Mrs. Brown grins and chase her around the dinning room to the sitting room.

"You naughty kid!" Mrs. Brown said.

They collapse on the sofa and Mrs. Brown sits up.

"Evelyn we have to talk!" She sounds serious unlike some minutes ago.

"Alright, mum!" She replied and sat up.

"About the marriage Evelyn, please it's your father's last wish!" Mrs. Brown pacifies.

"Yeah, I don't know if I should hate my father for that or to love him," She replied.

"No, don't hate him darling, I think he has his reason and he knows the best for you" Mrs. Brown replied hugging her.

"And don't be afraid darling, we are in this together" Mrs. Brown replied rubbing her back.

Even Mrs. Brown doesn't want her only child, or even a daughter, to be married to a person they don't know.

But she knows Evelyn is a girl that faces every challenge thrown at her.

She was very aware she has a strong daughter who loves everyone and who has a soft heart.

Whatever her father has chosen for her, then it's her benefit because a father wouldn't hurt her daughter, right!

Evelyn slept off hugging her mother, and it seems she is tired from work and the celebration.

Mrs. Brown doesn't have the strength to carry the latter, so she went to her and brought a duvet.

She covered Evelyn with a duvet and slept on the nearest couch.
