Chapter 29 Univited Guest
Father blessed her too and said to Eden, “She is a blessing for you.”
Eden smiled, taking her hand in his. They reached home. Lavanya looked at the mansion. Entire mansion, which had never been decorated at the festivals for the last fifteen years, was shining with the lights, looking very beautiful. They started getting ready for the Christmas party. Lavanya came downstairs, wearing a dark blue shimmery gown and her hair tied in a ponytail with a bow clip.
“Someone is looking cute and gorgeous.” Eden complimented her, and she smiled.
Soon, the guests started arriving, and the mansion became more lively. Eden was happily introducing Lavanya to everyone. Jaime also came with Sarah and Charles. She quickly got out of the car and ran inside the mansion in excitement to meet Lavanya without waiting for Sarah and Charles.
Lavanya saw her coming inside the mansion. She excused herself from the guests and went to her. Jaime hugged her. “Merry Christmas, Lavanya.”
“Same to you.” She said and saw Sarah and Charles standing behind her. She greeted them and went to Eden with Jaime, who was enjoying his drink. “Merry Christmas, Brother.”
Eden smiled and ruffled her hair. “Stop! you’re spoiling my hairstyle.”
Lavanya remembered Daksh when she saw them together. They all started having fun. Edward also joined them soon.
“Look, someone is late.”
Edward rolled his eyes. “You will soon know when your wife will take lots of time to get ready. Am I right, Lavanya?”
He looked at Lavanya. She nodded, and Jaime laughed. Lavanya looked at the beautiful girl standing beside Edward. She was looking gorgeous in a baby pink dress with light makeup look and delicate pearl jewellery.
“Hello, Kristina. It’s good to see you after so long.” Eden gave her a side hug.
“Same here. I told Edward that we should go together to meet you, but he always refused.” Kristina looked at Edward.
“As a newly married, I wanted that time to be ours. I never wanted him to third wheel us, just like he used to do it in college because he was single, but now, he has lost his title of happily single.” Edward said, and everyone laughed while Eden glared at him.
Edward looked at Lavanya. “Kristina, Meet Lavanya. She is the girl who stole the heart of our best friend.”
Kristina excitedly hugged her. “I was so excited to meet you from the time I got to know about you.” She looked at her. “Wow, You’re so beautiful and cute. Now, I know why Eden has chosen you.”
They were talking happily as Edward was sharing his and Eden’s childhood funny memories.
“And we really got a very good beating from our parents after that.” Edward finished, and they all laughed.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Lavanya held Eden’s hand and whispered in his ear, “I am starving.”
Eden called Bella and asked her to bring some snacks for Lavanya. She came back with a plate full of snacks with a glass of juice for Lavanya. Eden took the plate from her and started feeding Lavanya with his hands.
Edward looked at them. “Oh! my lovebirds, You both should’ve celebrated Christmas alone.”
Lavanya blushed and looked away. Eden slid his arm around her waist, pulling her closer. He kissed her forehead and said, “You all should leave us alone and enjoy the party instead of standing here to third wheel us.”
“Look Kristina and Jaime! He invited us here, and now he thinks that we are disturbing his romance.” Edward stated, and everyone laughed, including Eden.
“You all should’ve killed me for not inviting you, and I don’t want to die. I have lots of dreams to fulfill.” Eden said with a smile.
“We know your dreams.” Edward looked at him and smirked.
“Of course! Getting married to the love of my life, going on a honeymoon with her, and having two cute little kids.” Lavanya looked at him and thought, “Why is he talking about this in front of them?”
Her cheeks turned red as she blushed.
“Wow, You’ve planned your entire future. I wonder if you have decided the name of your kids too.” Edward said, noticing Lavanya’s blush. Kristina and Jaime were enjoying this.
“Ahh! You reminded me well. I should decide on it too.” Eden said, earning a smack on his arm from Lavanya. “Stop this.”
“Chill Lavanya, we are just having fun with you. He is not serious about this.” Edward said, looking at Eden, who furrowed his eyebrows together and said, “I am serious about this!”
He turned to Lavanya. “Baby, you know how serious I am when it comes to us.”
“Yeah, I know.”
“So according to brother’s planning, soon there will be a little guy, who will call me aunt but Lavanya, just make sure that he should be like you, not like my coldhearted brother.” Jaime said, and Lavanya blushed more as everyone laughed, and Eden glared at them, but the next moment, he laughed too.
Bella and Amelia were watching them, standing at the corner.
“I am seeing the Master laughing heartily after so long. He really looks happy.” Amelia said.
Bella smiled. “It’s all because of Lavanya. She and her love for Master have changed him.”
“She is also the life of this mansion. Before she came here, this mansion was like an abandoned house where hardly anyone visits, but now it’s so lively.” Amelia looked at Lavanya, who was in Eden’s arms as he hugged her from behind.
“I hope they always live together, happily.” Bella prayed for them. Amelia’s eyes moved to the entrance of the mansion, and she saw a girl entering inside. “I think not until she is in Master’s life.”
“Whom are you talking about?” Bella asked.
“Look there.” Amelia pointed towards the entrance of the mansion.
“What is she doing here?” Bella thought.
Jaime turned to go and get a drink when she also saw that girl standing at the entrance. She looked at Eden and asked him in a low voice, “Brother, did you invite her too?”
Eden looked at her, and his expression changed. He thought, “Why is she here when I didn’t even invite her?”
