285 Family eat together, stay together. (1/2)

Ann woke up very early the next day, with everyone spending the night at their home, it would not be right for her to oversleep. After discreetly getting off the bed as not to wake up her sleeping husband. She went to the bathroom quietly and took a shower swiftly and put on a charming, crisp, clean sundress that makes her looks like a fresh flower from the garden.

To top it off, she kept her face bare with any makeup, and it shows a younger woman than her actual age of twenty-two. After checking herself from the full-length mirror, she smiled after seeing how young she looks without makeup. Who would have thought from looking at her that she's already a married woman with a twin inside her flat belly?

Once satisfied with what she saw, she quietly left her sleeping husband and went downstairs. As she descended the stairways, a young maid was cleaning and was stunned and gawked when she saw how young she looks without makeup on her face.

Ann saw the way the young maid was staring at her, and she wonders why? ”Good morning!” She greeted with a beautiful smile plastered on her face. ”Is there something wrong with me?” She jokingly asked.

The young maid that was cleaning the stairways helped her descend. ”Be careful Mam! The stairs and the floor is wet; you don't want to have an accident, you know!” The young maid warned Ann with concern showing in her eyes.-” No, Mam! There's not a thing wrong with you; I'm only surprised to see how young you look. Hehe!”

”Thank you!” Ann accepted the helping hand that the maid was offering.

Once she's safely at the ground, the maid continued cleaning with a smiling face.

She first went to the parlor to see if anyone was awake. No one was there; she then went towards the kitchen where everyone was busy running around hustling and bustling.

”Good morning!” Ann greeted the Chef and his assistants. Everyone was busy preparing a massive feast for breakfast.

”Good morning Mam!” Everyone replied in unison then went back to do what they were doing.

The Chef took the opportunity, and he went towards her before greeting her in person. ”Good morning Mam!” Breakfast is almost ready; is there anything you wanted right now?”

”Oh, no-no-no! I only wanted to make sure that everything was in order, as you know that we have the whole family spending the night with us, I'm sure that you have your hand full right now.” Ann replied with the sweetest smile that she could conjure.

”I let you get back to what you're doing. I'm sure your swamp right now.”

”Yes, Mam! We need to ensure that breakfast would be ready on time.” Chef replied proudly.

”Well, I'll let you get back to what you're doing. I'll see if anyone's awake already.” Ann slowly made her way back to the parlor to see if anyone's awake once again.
