CHAPTER 51

After the speech, everybody was cheering and clapping as they made their way down the stage. "It was a nice speech," she shyly complimented, hugging Matteo's arm while disregarding Dahlia.

"It was all Marissa's doing," he drew his arm out of her embrace and circled it around Dahlia's waist, Willa's face scrunched up for a moment and instantly transformed into a cute smile.

"Yeah sure."

"Now that the speech is done, can we all proceed to the dining area, I am damn hungry." Nobody noticed Diego going towards the microphone until he screamed.

Vren slapped his forehead in vexation and ordered him to get off the stage. Diego stuck out his tongue to his father in a childish way and Thalia smacked him at the back of his head. "Hey!" He whined as she dragged him down the stage uttering apologies to the guests as she walked by, her cheeks tinted in embarrassment.
