Chapter 350 - Dance Practice... (1/2)
Amy laughed at her comment and said, ”I wanted to get settled here properly first before surprising you. And look, now I'm here in front of you in all glory...”
Veronica smiled and said, ”That's good that you're finally here and at the correct time. Bennie had arranged a party tomorrow so you will be there with us. I'm so happy right now that all of my friends will be with us on the special day of our life.”
Amelia too smiled at her and suggested, ”Hmmm… Why not we do one thing? We'll wait for tomorrow to come before giving all of my friends a big surprise together about my return back here…specially Lucinda..”
As Amelia mentioned Lucinda's name specifically, Veronica frowned a little bit as she knew that Amelia always had a bitter temperament towards Lucinda and was jealous of her from her childhood...
Though Amelia was also Veronica's friend but it couldn't be compared with the friendship between her and Lucinda. So Veronica decided to keep an eye on Amelia so that she couldn't harm her bestie at any cost.
”Uhmmm…Amy… Why don't you accompany me to the beauty parlor? Reuben had made an appointment with them for me. I'll anyways get bore if I go there alone. So you also come with me.” Veronica suggested so that she could spend some time with Amelia.
But the biggest reason was to know about her whereabouts, specially her reason to come back to city S all of a sudden without even a prior notice to them.
This single action of hers was enough to create a big doubt in Veronica's mind which was quite obvious too..!!
”Yeah sure.. Now that you've told me about the party, then I've to prepare myself to look the best.” Amelia chirped as both of them left Creation after a few minutes...

Smith's Mansion…
The living room was filled with both youngsters and elders. But for the first time ever, everyone was sitting there in silence which was very much unexpected from them.
The youngsters were sitting at one side whereas the elders on the opposite. But the middle seat was occupied by the great Reuben Smith who was carrying a nervous expression on his face...
Everyone's eyes were focused on only him specially the girls who wore a confusing appearance.
”For god's sake… will someone please tell me what's happening here? Why are we waiting here patiently when we should prepare ourselves for tomorrow's party?” Lucinda couldn't control her irritation anymore.
”Actually girls.. We have hidden something from you both.” Neil said, clearing his throat making both Willa and Lucinda glare at him.
”Uhmm..Girls, don't glare at us. It was all Reuben's plan to not tell you.” Henry safe guarded himself from their murdered glares.
It was enough for Willa to control so she just asked impatiently, ”Will someone tell us what's the matter here?”
Noticing the frustration in the girls' behaviour, Reuben finally blurted out, ”Tomorrow's party is not a simple one but a surprise engagement party for Ica and me..”
”What!!!” came an exasperated exclamation from the girls which made the boys scared like hell whereas the elders along with Jack and Louis chuckled.
Reuben nodded his head as if to confirm their doubt and said, ”I'm going to propose Veronica for marriage tomorrow. And for that, I need all of your help.”
