Chapter 56 - Goddesses from Heaven… (2/2)

As for why Lucinda hadn't come with her parents and brother, was because it would be the first time she would attend a party after her and Henry's confession. So to not to loose her cool self, she asked Veronica to accompany her and she did so..

Alonzo excused himself from the three men and walked towards the Lopez couple to welcome them. He approached them and said, ”Welcome Mr. and Mrs. Lopez.. Thanks for coming here.”

”Hello young man. Nice to meet you. Hope you will do your best in City S business world.” Mr. Lopez shook his hand with Alonzo as he greeted him back.

Thanking Mr. Lopez, his eyes shifted to the two ladies behind and said to them, ”Hi Miss Lopez and Miss Wilson. Please enjoy the party.”

Both of the girls nodded at him and gave him a polite smile as a response. But somehow Veronica felt that she saw him somewhere before but couldn't remember it. So she didn't bug about it and walked inside with her best friend.

Her eyes fell on Reuben and looked at his handsome figure. As Reuben was also staring at her, their eyes locked and both of their lips curved up in a smile.

Seeing her bestie was in a daze, Lucinda also followed her eyesight and saw Henry gaping at her flirtingly. She also looked at him with a shy face and blush in her cheeks.

Lucinda and Veronica's staring blocked when a waiter offered them some drinks. Taking some whiskey in their hands they talked with some of their school friends who also attended the party.

After talking with every guests, Alonzo sat beside his grandmother who was talking with Myra that time. His grandmother then focused her mind on her one and only grandson whose lips were faintly curled up.

Old Madam Brown asked him, ”What happened my dear? Why your face is so gentle now? Actually.. don't tell me. Let me guess about the sudden change of your mood.”

Thinking for a while, Madam Brown's eyes widened in surprise and she said excitedly, ”Is.. Is the girl already here?”

Alonzo nodded his head and replied, ”Yes grandma. She is here.”

Myra who became confused about the sudden conversation, asked in curiosity, ”Who are you talking about?”

Grandmother Brown replied, ”You will know about the person soon.”

She then turned towards Alonzo and said, ”Quickly take me to that girl. I can't wait to meet her after so many years.”
