Marissa was still shocked by Victoria‘a character a few minutes ago, she was wondering why Victoria would act that way in the first place when it’s really her duty to make sure the birthday party is a success.

“I don’t get her, Andrew, is there anything wrong in what I said?” Marissa asked Andrew because she was confused and she wanted to know her offense so that she could know if she was really at fault.

“Mom, you said she would be a good wife and you are a very good judge of character, why don’t you ask her what’s wrong with her? That way you would know why she’s acting this way,” Andrew said to Marissa and walked away.

    Andrew povHearing my mom speak in such a tone made me realize it must be something more serious than I imagined. “I warned you that I want you to be the one in charge of my birthday party and you still went ahead to go against my request and you had the guts to introduce her to me? What do you take me for Victoria?” Victoria looked as shocked as I was when I heard the real reason why she was upset. I thought it was not something that is supposed to make her as upset as she was sounding. “Mom, please calm down.” “Don’t tell me to calm down! I have taken all her nonsense but this time I’m not going to take the nonsense she has dished!” Marissa said angrily. “Mom, I was only trying to give you the best birthday party, I didn’t know it was going to upset you if I hired a planner for your birthday, only a planner would be able to give you that birthday party you want.”“Bella gave it to me several times.” Victoria and I turned to look at her the moment we heard her call Bella again.

    Writer’s povVictoria was in shock even though she knew the reply she would give already. She was still pretending to be shocked so that it wouldn't look like she already had a particular answer in her head. “Mom, I know that you have always supported me because you want what’s best for me but now it’s time for you to let go of my marriage, you don’t have to come running here when I send you an harmless text message. I’m a woman now and I have a family now, they love me and treat me well too.” Marissa smiled when she heard what Victoria said. Andrew on the other hand was wondering why he listened to her with a soft heart, he realized he was relieved to hear her say she was not leaving. He didn’t realize it immediately until he found himself smiling. “What is wrong with you Andrew?” He asked himself and walked away angrily.“Mom, I’m staying with my new family, it’s been seven years already, you don’t expect me to leave them and come to you just like that, I’m sorry mom.” Victoria sa

I needed it to reset my thinking and I think I got what I wanted because finally I will be able to start work without thinking about what anyone has to say about me. “Would you prefer riding with me?” Tristan asked as he joined us at the dinning. While everyone was seated I was wondering why one person was missing. I haven’t seen her this morning so I don’t think she has stepped out of the house. Tristan also noticed that she was not on the dining with us. I know he was relieved but I wasn’t. I don’t want to be the reason for their sudden distance. “I’ll go get her.” I said to Tristan and headed upstairs. After knocking for a while she was not opening the door. “Camilla.

She never knew he was such a gentle man, listening to him now made her start seeing the good side of him.
