32: One Of A Kind
"It doesn't matter. Narrowest minds have the widest of mouths."
Amelia White nodded her head, understanding the meaning of her cousin's words. They were still talking with each other when the other guests who were silently talking with each other like the buzz of the bees, suddenly halted their mouths and turned their heads to see the pair on the stairs.
Glancing at the staircase, Madam Anderson's face broke into a satisfied smile. Both her children looked so good and well-matched together like a pair of a princess and a knight as the princess' escort. She was not wrong when she decided to play a matchmaker for them.
"Ria looks so beautiful this evening, cousin. She will surely be a beauty when she reaches our old age," Amelia could not contain herself and said.

I own a couple of bars as my side business, it would be a pleasure if you could bring your friends too with you sometime there. The more the merrier, you know. The more the people, the more the rate of earning money and profit." One thing she got to know about him was that he was obsessed with the money related things."Uh.."

It seemed as if he was playing a game of hide-and-seek with Archer Williams.The truth was, he was introducing Elian with his business partners just to make them his acquaintances for the future."I must say you have a very capable son, Master Anderson.

"Excuse me, I have a call to take." His phone rang at the best timing as Elian Anderson excused himself from the guests. He felt tension building up in his whole body.This entire announcement did not seem like an actual surprise, but rather a pre-planned shocker. What he could not understand was why his parents paired him up with a person he cherished as a little partner, companion, and a friend?It was true he enjoyed her company, but it did not mean he would accept her as his bride, his wife, and the person he was looking forward to spending his whole life time with.He had never seen her in a light like this.He would never be."Speak. What did you call me for?" His frustration could be seen with how messy his attire was now with his unbuttoned collar and his removed tie. A blind could also see it.The person on the nex

His mother, Mia Anderson confusedly asked. She was trying to understand his words. "Mom, I'm talking about the whole engagement show. What was that?" He was frowning. "It looks like a show to you?" His father, John Anderson looked at him blankly. "Then, what should I call it, dad? I was not even informed of it. You both didn't even ask for my opinion." His voice was low and calm, but his eyes had vulnerability hidden in depth. "You have always listened to us, Elian. Why are you so shocked right now?" Madam Anderson questioned with her brows furrowed. "Yes, mom. I have always listened to both of you, so why can't you listen to me for once? I don't wan

"What's gotten your mood so turned off?" Sofia Brown slurped a smoothie and peeked at the busy-looking Zaria who was going through some bridal gowns on her phone with a frown. She had clicked some of the photos of the gowns she liked to wear to give them a try with a heavy effort. Each and every photo she swiped, she was mesmerised."Just some random rude person. He kept accusing me that I ruined his clothing, but I didn't even do anything. It was just his shoes I stepped on accidentally.""Okay, don't think of him anymore. Just hope you won't meet this stupid whoever 'random rude person'."Sofia laughed at the unbecoming expression of Zaria Smith."Yep, or my beautiful years of life would be lost for nothing just thinking of him."
