Chapter 74

I almost forgot that my brother Kent and Eloisa invited us for dinner. I sat beside her but she twitched when my hands touch her arms. She looks scared and reserved. It's noticeable on her shivering hands while holding the glass of wine. 

 

"Kent just called. They invited us to attend the dinner. Dress up and I'll wait here." I said. 

"Are you ready to face them again? You know the deal, right? You can tell me if you ain't come and I will call them to---", I didn't even finish my phrases when Lucy replied. 

" Don't worry, I can handle my feelings but to see Austin calling Eloisa as his mommy, my heart aches!", Her voice rumbled. 

I took her near me and began to comfort her. I caress her hair with my palm. I feel sorry for her that I want to pamper her. 

"Just cried. I'm right here to protect you!", I whispered near her ears.
