BXBX NOVEL Chapter 185 - Reconciled Family
"Oh…" Roselyn frowned her forehead as her sister\'s statement brought her back to Earth. "No! Look at how big the bump already is!" Roselyn tried to comfort her sister and Abigail\'s eyes sparkled.
"You think so?" Abigail asked in a joyful tone of voice.
"Yes! And look at you! You look gorgeous!" Roselyn exclaimed, Abigail indeed was looking amazing. Her skin was glowering more than usual and her hair was thick and long. Somehow even her chest looked more prominent and more harmonious and if that was what pregnancy brought then Roselyn hoped she would get pregnant sooner or later.
"I think my chest could be bigger," Abigail said clenching her teeth and giggling cupping her breasts.
"Yes! First thing I noticed." Roselyn laughed nodding and walking parallel to her boasting her chest out as if she tried to compare her chest with her sister\'s.
Abigail laughed loudly, "stop it!" she begged as Roselyn kept boost her chest in and out waiting for her breasts to miraculously grow as Abigail\'s breasts did.
After few more efforts, she folded her arms and grimaced with sadness as she shook her head.
Abigail regained her breath, and when she did she gently pushed her sister\'s shoulder.
"Have a baby and they will grow." Abigail shrugged gazing at her sister.
Rose faked a smile pretending Abigail\'s statement didn\'t hurt her when deep down it did.
"I may consider it now." She said before heading toward the door and opening it.
Abigail pointed to a room and began to walk toward it, "they must be in the kitchen. The kitchen is Victor\'s second house. He is hungry all the time."
Roselyn nodded, "John too." They shared an understanding gaze before bursting into laughs.
Abigail opened the door to find Victor and John both looking at the two ladies puzzled. Maybe they weren\'t expecting to find them laughing joyfully as nothing happened.
For John it was easier, Victor didn\'t even ask him an explanation. He was used to being lied to and he knew he could expect anything from John.
"Are you two alright?" John asked and Roselyn nodded before wrapping a hand around her sister\'s shoulders.
"We are. Never been better!" Roselyn exclaimed and John thinned his lips slightly knitted his eyebrows down wondering if Roselyn had lost her mind suddenly.
"I wasn\'t mad at Roselyn nor was I mad at you. I am willing to fix my relationship with Roselyn and create the bond we always wished to have." Abigail said darting her gaze from Roselyn to John.
John smiled when he looked at his wife\'s eyes full of joy he felt overwhelmed and proud. Only seeing Rose happy was enough to draw a smile on his lips. All he wanted was to make her happy.
"Accommodate now dinner is ready," Abigail said pointing at a chair near John and a new servant began to serve food.
The servant gave a dish full of meat to Victor and John while for the ladies he reserved savory tart and vegetable omelets.
They all ate quietly focusing their main attention on food until Abigail finally lifted her head from gazing at food to dedicate her attention to the guests.
"How did William reacted when he found out you two had an agreement?" Abigail asked.
John grimaced of sufferance having Abigail laugh.
"Well he was disappointed at the beginning but then I guess he believed our bond was true," John replied and Roselyn nodded.
"He seems a very supportive and understanding father." Abigail addressed and Roselyn nodded playing with the food in her dish with her fork.
"Yes, he is. John is lucky to have such a supportive parent." Roselyn said and John smiled at her holding Roselyn\'s hand under the table.
"So you two formed an attachment and pretended to be in love but slowly later you find yourself truly in love with each other?" Victor asked curving an eyebrow but keeping his gaze still focused on his meal.
"Yes." Roselyn smiled, "I know it may sound weird but that\'s what truly happened."
Abigail\'s eyes sparkled. "It looks like a fairy tale. Who was the one who fell in love first?" she asked clapping her hands in excitement.
Roselyn\'s cheeks heated and blushed.
"I was." Roselyn confessed in low voice and John smiled, "of course she was." He added and Roselyn giggled punching him on his shoulder.
"Or you always were but couldn\'t admit it!" Roselyn raised her eyebrow and funnily moved her head as if she was implying that he had always been in love with her.
"Nope!" John spat rolling his eyes.
"Oh, sure! You were daily teasing me! You already were deeply in love with me!" Roselyn continued to tease John who was giggling and shaking his head pretending Roselyn was speaking nonsense.
Abigail giggled looking at them laying her head over her arm as she gazed at the couple happily, that was the proof they two were in love.
"So what about Ethan?" Victor asked as he chewed his food bite by bite. "He is a good person? If I recall well he was trying to kill both of you last time."
"Somehow he seems willing to forget the past and move on. Maybe being accepted by my father helped him and gave him faith about finally creating a family." John replied shrugging before drinking from his tall glass of dry red wine.
"And you trust him?" Victor asked raising an eyebrow and in a quizzical tone of voice.
"I don\'t trust anyone," John replied as he gazed up at his cousin in a severe gaze.
Victor giggled, "predictable." He whispered but everyone in the room heard him.
"You should know me well enough to know I don\'t trust most the people," John said, his tone of voice was slightly peaked as he was losing his patience.
"Then why would you welcome him back to your family?" Victor asked gesturing in an upset tone of voice.
"Because he behaved well and helped us. I owe him. But if he makes a wrong move I won\'t think twice before killing him." John groaned, clenching his fists.
Victor had a talent in hitting the last bit of patience John had.
