Chapter 75 My last wish

When Raphael Cullen regained his composure, he asked," So Graham, this is your son." "Yes father. He is my son. Dylan Cullen and this, is his mother Luna Peyton."

"Okay. Let's have dinner first then talk when we finish." With this, everyone left the sitting room and went to the dinning room. Through out their way, Luna couldn't stop her eyes from looking around. Everything she saw screamed of class and wealth. She knew that the Cullens were rich but wasn't this too much? She missed seeing the eyes Ciara shot her filled with hatred. Rebecca looked at her with disgust.

Reaching the big table that could accommodate over twenty people, Raphael sat at the top and Abigail sat at his right, Dylan, then Luna and Graham. On Raphael's left sat Rebecca, Ciara then Jake. The maids began serving food for everyone on the table.

After, everyone began eating in silence. Abigail's attention was on Dylan who was sitting next to her, often giving him food from her plate. Like Abigail, Graham's attention was on Luna making sure that she had everything she wanted. Ciara didn't bother to eat anything but she was sitting while glaring at Luna and Dylan with hateful eyes. Rebecca was pretending as if eating while her eyes were on Luna. Raphael and Jake were eating there food oblivious to what was in the dining area. Luna would steal occasional glances at Ciara and Rebecca to check if they had stopped glaring at her but she would Immediately look away on noticing that they haven't stopped. If looks could kill, she was sure that she would be burried six feet under the ground by now. It honestly made her uncomfortable and she wouldn't eat much with them looking like they could swallow her if she made any mistake. Finally, dinner was done and she was relieved. They moved to another sitting room which wasn't the one they reached into. This was more private, she noticed before sitting at the couch with Graham. "What is Ciara doing here? These are family matters," said Graham straightforwardly when he saw her sitting down. "If Jake is here, I have the right to be here as well," she answered. "Jake is here because he's family. He's soon marrying Abigail," he said. "And I'm also soon marrying you," she told him. "Who told you that? Since the beginning I told you that there's no wedding." Before Ciara could retaliate, Abigail spoke," Could you please control your temper and tones? We have a baby here." Ciara felt the urge to roll her eyes but she controlled herself. Just then, Dylan said that he wants to pee and Graham stood up to take him.

When he was away, Rebecca used this opportunity and asked," Okay, Luna. Who are your family?" Luna's heart beat accelerated. What should she tell them? Abigail on noticing her hesitation said," Mother, I don't think she's comfortable with- "I didn't ask you Abigail. I asked her. Tell us Luna," Rebecca Immediately interrupted her and Luna knew that she had no way to escape.

"I-am I don't know anything about my family," she said in a low voice but everyone heard her.

"What do you mean by that? Did you grow up on the streets?" asked Rebecca. "No. I-I grew up in the o-orphanage," she stammered. Luna had never felt ashamed of growing up in the orphanage before but now with the way Rebecca Cullen was questioning her, she found out that it wasn't something to be comfortable with. "What!!!!! Orphanage!!!" she exclaimed dramatically as she stood up. Ciara smiled feeling relieved now. There's no way Rebecca would accept her in the Cullens. Earlier she was scared that after seeing the baby that looks exactly like Dylan, Rebecca might have a change of heart but now with this, she knew that she should be relaxed.

"What is going on?" asked Graham who had just come back with Dylan and Luna felt relieved. "Graham, did you know that this girl grew up in the orphanage?" she asked. "So?"

"What do you mean by so? She is an orphan Graham. Such a disgrace," she said. "Rebecca, we have a baby here. He might look young but he understands what you're saying. You're disgracing his mother in his presence. And he is a Cullen," said Raphael in a calm voice. "I'm glad you remembered that we are Cullens because after seeing what's happening here, I had thought that we long lost the name without us knowing. An orphan in the Cullens house!!! I never knew that I could live to see this day," Rebecca wailed dramatically. "Luna is not an orphan. She just doesn't know where her family is and even if she is, it is not your problem to worry. In just seconds, you both can die and we also become orphans. It's as simple as that," said Graham and there came silence. After a while, Raphael spoke," I'm really happy to know that I'm a grand father now. It really came to me as a surprise. I didn't expect to become a grandpa this soon much less, Graham to be the first one to bless me with this. This was actually my last wish. To die after seeing any of my grandchild and I think it's granted so even if I die now, it's okay. Thank you Graham and Miss Luna for giving me this gift, for blessing us with us a handsome grandson."
