Chương 70: STEPMOTHER'S INTERIOR PLANS
"Ah! Ah! Not so fast young lad," said Vilian as she raised the box high, expecting something like this to happen. Daniel could not reach it but he still tried jumping up to reach the blu box. As he failed to get it after trying so hard he stopped and crossed his hands and pouted his lips, peering through his brush-like eyelashes and giving a puppy look.
"Danny boy... Trying to act cute, aren't we?"
"Ok... Ok... Sorry! But will you be my princess, Mi'lday?" he asked, standing on his left knee like a gentleman moving one of his hands forward, waiting for Vilian to accept.
"Oh heaven Lords Daniel!" exclaimed Vilian with a surprised look. She didn't see this coming and neither did Lily as she glanced down at the boy with her widened eyes. "Where did that come from?" questioned Vilian.
"You wanted to be so... will you?" he questioned back with a cheeky grin.
"Dear lord! Don't you bring such a thing in front of anyone? Your mom would hammer me to the ground..." said Vilian with a surprised smile pinching his cheeks and patting his small shoulders, gesturing him to stand up, but Daniel didn't budge from where he was as he waited for her to give him a reply.
"What are you waiting for Danny? No prince kneels down on his foot."
"Yesh, they do kneel in front of their princess. Will you be the first to dance with me at my birthday party, Vili?"
"Ahh!! Of course, I will, but I'm not sure if I'll still be the first when Angelica shows up at your party," said Vilian teasing the little boy.
"No one's gonna steal your place, Vili, be it that big mouth Angelica or any other girls. My sister will be my princess," he said, chinning him up as he stood up. Vilian and Lily could not help but laugh. He was speaking as if he had grown two years ahead overnight.
Hardly stifling her laugh Vilian said, "Mind your words, Danny. You do know you're not supposed to speak like that. I think I've read too many stories to you and I must limit it."
"Not stories..." he said pouting his lips. "I'll speak good," he said and gestured a zipping mouth.
"Ok Ok!! I bet your seamster has already shown up. Off you go, my prince" she said as she ruffled his hair, but he said nothing and left.
"Isn't he gonna be a fine gentleman?" said Lily looking at the door that was closed by Daniel.
"No doubt. There'd be lotta women who'd try to flock to him in the future. I can't wait to see his mature annoyed look," Vilian laughed as she imagined the little one with his annoyed look but not soon did the boy's imaginary face turn to Astrel's face. She immediately shook her head.
Lily who went back to the dresser opened a drawer and took out a small wooden box and came walking toward Vilian who was sitting on the bed. Coming to stand in front of her she opened the box and took a pair of dangling earrings which Vilian immediately refused and towards the dresser and took a small black earring that was in the shape of a ring.
The once big simple ring which belonged to her mother was now her lonely earring and she gladly hooked the ring in her left ear. The right ear was covered with her golden hair. It was an unfinished shiny black ring that looked just like an earring when she wore it.
As time passed by sighing out, she said, "I guess it's time for me to leave. Wish me good Lily. I just hope I don't lose control in front of him."
"Oh yes, Mi'lady," said Lily and hugged her encouragingly. "I'll be waiting for you if you just need to leave the hall, Mi'lady," she said as she broke the hug. Vilian just nodded her head and walked out of the room.
Standing in front of the enormous door, her heart pounded like a drum getting beaten. Not in her dream did she think she'd meet the very man who ruined her physically and mentally. The two guards who stood there looked at each other not knowing why the lady was entering the hall. People who came bypassed her and entered her but she didn't budge forward or back.
"Thought of welcoming me standing all by yourself, kitty?" Came the whisper right next to her cold ears startling her. She looked behind only to end up eyeing straight into his cold blue eyes making her heart skip a beat.
She whispered 'No' causing him to glance down at her pink lips which were tainted with a slight gloss but his eyes lingered less than a second and swept back to her brown orbs.
Amidst the daze of hers, Astrel had hooked his hand in hers as he dragged her into the party hall slowly.
"Wai- Wha-" she tried to understand but she was dragged in. She tried to pull her hands only to be pulled back by him to his side. The party crowd at the entrance glanced at the two with shock and started to gossip.
Daniel who was waiting for Vilian from the very beginning glanced now and then saw her sister. He pulled his hand off his mother and came running toward Vilian and hugged her.
"He seems to be too fond of that dead one's daughter, isn't he, Vivian? I think it's better you distance him from her if you don't want your beautiful family to be destroyed." said a lady who was talking to Vivian eyeing Vilian as she said it.
"You're right, Jeena, but don't you think it's too early?" said Ms.Vivian
"The early, the better. Who knows what the girl has on her sleeves?" another lady jumped into the conversation.
"Hey Vivian, I guess there's a way you can take advantage of the girl," said Jeena with an evil smile. The women flocked together discussing their plan to get the advantage of Vilian while her stepmother listened to them keenly though she had other things on her sleeves.
