Chapter 438 Upgrade Of The Vampiress



Music Recommendation: To build a home- The Cinematic Orchestra

--

When everyone returned to the Moriarty mansion, Eve went to her room to change her wedding gown and now wore another gold and cream gown. Her earlier tied hair was let down to cascade down her back and a portion to rest on one of her shoulders.

In the room were Rosetta and Lady Aubrey with Eve. Lady Aubrey said, "Most of your things aren\'t here anymore." The older woman\'s eyes moved around the room, which looked emptier compared to the morning. "The maids must have moved your belongings to Vincent\'s room. They sure work quickly here."

Rosetta mindlessly nodded, "Most of the servants working for the high status families are very efficient, Lady Aubrey. Back in our mansion in the North, our servants--" She stopped midway when she realised the mistake she had made in her words. "In the past..."

"Rosetta dear," and the young vampiress looked like a deer that was caught.

"Yes, Lady Aubrey?"

"You can call me auntie now. Aunt Aubrey. Just like how Eve does," Lady Aubrey corrected Rosetta, as if letting the young vampiress know that she was officially welcoming her into Dawson\'s family.

Rosetta felt a little more at ease, that she wasn\'t being made fun of and instead was being taken care of. Eve turned around and held the young vampiress\'s hand to gain her attention. She said,

"Don\'t be sad, Rosetta. Your parents will not be physically harmed and you will be able to see them."

Rosetta nodded because what she was experiencing now was new and had never done anything like it before. She didn\'t have the support of her family and was on her own. Eve gave her assurance by telling her the truth,

"When Aunt Aubrey found me when I was little, I was an orphan and didn\'t have anyone or anything with me. Aunt Aubrey and Eugene took care of me, and everything slowly started to feel better than the day before it."

"Thank you, Eve," Rosetta replied and let a soft sigh escape from her lips because her parents had brought this one upon themselves. She whispered, "I wish I can be as strong as you. I am sorry.... I didn\'t mean to make it about me." Because she had come to realise how self-centred she had grown up to be, and she was trying to change it. But at the same time, it was an old habit that stubbornly stuck to her.

Eve got up from the seat she had been sitting in front of the dressing table. She came to stand in front of Rosetta, staring into her eyes. She said with a smile, "I don\'t mind listening to what you want to say, especially during the times when you feel your heart is heavy. It is better to express it to the people who care about you than keep it in. Isn\'t that right, Aunt Aubrey?"

"That is true, dear," Lady Aubrey responded and saw the young vampiress\'s lips tremble. "Considering the situation your parents are in right now, I am sure they will come around and learn to accept the truth. If worse comes, you will always have us."

Eve noticed Rosetta\'s eyes tear up, but the vampiress tried to hold back her tears by quickly blinking and said, "Thank you. Thank you very much." She said in a shaky voice, "You know, Eve. We are no longer friends, but from now on sisters."

Rosetta\'s words warmed Eve\'s heart, and she wrapped her arms around the young vampiress to hug her. Who knew that the crying woman she had walked into in the powder room of the inn would have led them to have a deeper relationship than just passing strangers? In a way, the vampiress had turned into a younger sister Eve would have to look out for.

"We are sisters now, Rose," Eve responded, and her words made the vampiress extremely happy.

Rosetta pulled away from Eve and put a bright smile on her lips, not wanting to be sad on her former best friend\'s wedding day. Then came a slight look of doubt on her face as if she wanted to ask something.

Noticing it, Eve asked, "What is it?" a slight hint of worry coming to sink into her body as she hadn\'t been entirely truthful about what happened to Rosetta\'s aunt.

"There\'s something that crossed my mind since we left the chapel," the look in Rosetta\'s eyes turned serious. She paused for a moment before saying, "The bouquet, if Eugene and I weren\'t already married, you would have given it to me, right?"

Eve noticed the childlike expression Rosetta held as she asked, with a hint of possessiveness towards her, as if not liking another woman of their age taking her place in Eve\'s heart. She quickly nodded, "Of course. I would have given it to you," and she smiled.

Rosetta beamed before replying, "I knew it!"

When a maid knocked on the door, Lady Aubrey invited the maid in, and the maid informed them, "Milady, all the guests have arrived at the mansion."

Lady Aubrey said, "We\'ll give you a minute, Eve. Rosetta and I will leave first." She kissed Eve\'s cheek and wished, "Congratulations on your wedding again, Eve. May you and Vincent live many countless years of happiness and in love."

"Thank you, Aunt Aubrey," Eve couldn\'t stop smiling today, and the longer she did, the more aware she turned because her cheeks started to feel sore.

Eve stared into her reflection in the mirror, realising she was a married woman and no longer a simple governess. Taking a deep breath, she finally stepped out of the room with the back of her gown sweeping through the marble floor. When she reached the end of the stairs, she noticed Vincent standing at the end of the stairs, waiting for her.

She noticed Vincent had discarded his coat and had changed his white in-shirt that he had worn a while ago into a dark red one that matched his eyes. His hair was no more combed backwards but in its usual tousled way.
