CHAPTER 23: SOOTHING TEA

Immediately Evelyn walked into the living room she felt like she had entered the wrong place,her father was not the kind of lovey dovey person but here he was watching the robot as it painted her mother's nails with a black nail polish as he laughed at something she said.Although she wished could be anywhere but here because her father's face changed faster than her father's personal cleaning robot,which could change itself from a cook into a cleaner.although they had robot servants in the house,the robots were malfunctioning so they were sent back to their companies to fix a few glitches.He was glaring angrily at Evelyn as her mother sat beside him as she stared at her newly done nails which was really strange as other times her mother would actually be trying her best to calm her father down even if she was scared.Last time her mother seemed different in a good way but now her mother was just plain wierd, normally she never painted her nails with nail polish,she never even did make-up but today she was looking really beautiful and much younger,she had her beautiful chestnut brown hair in a bun and was wearing a beautiful long red dress which looked like a qipao,it had a slit in front which stopped just above her knee,with long see through sleeves which were flared,she was even putting on makeup with flaming red lipstick.Although her foster mother had two children but due to how advanced technology was women were not stressed during childbirth,it was pain free and with the follow up treatment you would look like you've never had a child so apart from abit of wrinkles on her face here and there,the strands white hair on her head,her figure still looked perfect and the dress hugged her hips,she looked beautiful but modest.

While her father was putting on a black suit with his hair styled.

He kept staring at her for a long time and just when he was about to begin his long angry lecture he looked behind him and breathed heavily as he pushed his hair backward while trying to calm himself down.

"We would be late honey,you can do the lecturing after were back from the party".Christy smiled as she stared at her husband and held his hand.

Evelyn was shocked as she seemed abit surprised as her mother seemed really confident as she smiled seductively?

"As your mother said i would be back for you after the party were going to". Williams said

Evelyn was going towards her room when she heard her mum call out to her.

"Eve dear i made soothing tea for you and its on the table in your room". Christy said as she turned around and winked??at Evelyn.

Evelyn was really confused she didn't know if she was seeing things,she opened her room door and saw a kana which was a metal box which was locked with a password, normally this was used to keep things the temperature you want it to be and also give you the security that nobody dropped something in your food.She tried the password that was used on everything that she was allowed access to but it showed access denied,when her phone rang and she saw the contact name [MUM]

"Grant access".Evelyn said,most times she forgot there was an easier way to pick calls especially if your using the Ziph ear pods.

"Eve i forgot to tell you that the password is SURVIVE,and that tea is pretty expensive,i got it at an auction i went to with your father".Christy said from the other end and ended the call as it seemed like Williams was calling her.

Evelyn keyed in the words,she heard a click as the tiny box opened and inside it was was a gold glass with a liquid that seemed like water.Although Evelyn didn't know why she trusted her Mum even more than she did before even if she seemed wierd and different but she had a feeling her mother wouldn't hurt her so she placed the cup on her lips as she drank the content in the cup,it tasted like honey mixed with milk,she took the cup to the kitchen as she gave it to her personal robert which cleaned it and gave it back to her.She kept it back in the metal box and closed it,she felt really refreshed as she lay on the bed.
