'Evan's patience'

Robinson Mansion

Anna's mother, Rose has prepared five evening gowns for Anna. She knows Anna would not like it but, as a mother she cannot suppress her motherly love. Rose puts every effort possible to evolve the coldness between them and Anna.

Anna and Dyna entered Anna's room, they found Rose standing there visibly nervous. They moved their gazes to the evening gowns prepared in front of them. Dyna was very satisfied with gowns, meanwhile; Anna remained quiet.

Dyna asked the oblivious. "Rose, have you prepared them?" with a complimentary frown on her face. Rose hesitated, "Mom, actually I saw the designs and brought them."

Anna was watching her mother and grandma, who were immersed totally in the act. She coughed to get their attention and said. "The gowns are good." She inspected each one and picked the simplest one, looking towards them she added. "I'll wear this, you can and get ready yourself. Also, I don't need anyone's assistance. I will be down in 20 minutes." After saying she walked into the washroom.

Both of them are done with their dresses and makeup already, and was waiting for Anna to select a dress for herself. Now they are relieved, they went to check on the men of house.

Daniel, Thomas and Jack were already prepared for departure when they heard the sound of heels on stairs. They turned their heads and were confused to see only Dyna and Rose.

Daniel anxiously asked. "Did she refused to attend with us?" both the ladies said nothing and sat down quietly. No one spoke and a strange silence enveloped everyone. Thomas and Daniel were worried that jack will be angered again.

About fifteen minutes later, everyone heard sound of heels coming from upstairs. They turned their heads reflexively, and were stunned.

Anna was wearing a beautiful white one shoulder evening gown; diamonds are embedded on the it, and they reflected whenever she moved. Her coffee brown hairs are now pulled up in a messy side bun, flecks of hairs from the other side are open. She has the minimal makeup with some foundation, and red lipstick completing her look. Anna is tall woman herself with 168cms of height now wearing another 5 inches heels, made her look regal and powerful.

The whole Robinson family was stunned to see Anna dressed up so beautifully, Anna believes in living a simple life and don't do make up. So just a foundation and lipstick made her look a new person. Her beautiful eye lashes need no touch up.

Daniel woke up from daze first and went to his sister. "My sister is so dazzling today" he complimented and offered his hand.

Anna paused and gave her hand because this HELL (for Anna heels are HELL) are making her wobbly.

Daniel was happy that Anna didn't reject his hand, without knowing her sister's inner monologue. Everyone complimented her, while Jack complained. "Look at the time, we're getting late." He roared at everyone and left for his car; everyone followed the suit. There were three cars in total. Two for couples while Anna and Daniel sat in the last car together. And left for the dinner banquet.

The Wright's are here now.

"Good evening, Mr. Wright please welcome." Mayor greeted back and politely nodded towards every member, and added. "How come the Ethan is not here?" he didn't saw him just now.

Evan answered him. "He's not in the city today, he sent his wishes to you. Mayor Li." Evan promised his brother not to tell anyone about his accident, so he covered up for him.

Mayor Li didn't ask further and asked them to enter and relax inside. The Wright's entered the banquet hall and became center of attraction, Evan tried to distance himself away from his family but suddenly his mother held his hand and gave him a glare.

Other members of Evan's family were gloating at his misfortune and his grandfather even chuckled while winking at him and went towards his friends.

Mother Wright started whispering about every girl present there to Evan. " see, the girl went to study Harvard and has a master's degree in management ... hmmm … other one is Green's only daughter, she also is a excellent lady …" and so on and on ….

Evan was very calm at start but the so-called list never ended, he released himself from his mother's hold and passed her a glass of water.his patience has now run out, so he said to his mother. "Mom, you relax yourself and I will be back shortly after." Then walked in a distance and disappeared.

Mother Wright tried to follow but her friends came to her and she soon forgot this son of hers for her friends.

When Anna and Daniel were sitting together, the latter noticed Anna was wearing no jewelry on her. He always wanted to gift something to his sister, he retrieved a bag from back seat and passed it to her.

Anna opened the bag and took out a box' she opened and found a blue diamond necklace. Its made up from a very rare blue gemstones, it's very simple and elegant piece. Anna has a little knowledge about jewelry because of her friend Jasmine. Anna looked confusedly at Daniel. He laughed and said in an affectionate tone. "How can I let my sister be so simply dressed, also don't reject it. I have asked them to make it based on your taste." At the last he even begged.

Anna nodded and wore it, she looked now more beautiful. Daniel said. "Having a beautiful sister is also a responsibility, don't worry I will protect you." Anna looked at him after hearing him, Daniel felt it and got tensed. It was the same promise he had made to her but was unable to do so. He cant stand her gaze and turned to look outside.

Anna remembered the same, she wanted to comfort him but he already turned his head. The words remained unsaid once again.
