Chapter 1096 - The White inauguration (9) (2/2)
Stella and Edward looked at their three daughters on the dancefloor, each in the arms of the man they choose for themselves.
”What are your thoughts?”, Edward asked Stella while pulling her to lean on him.
”I am happy to see them getting along well.”, Stella said.
”But?” Edward knows there is more to it.
Stella exhaled and smiled. Her husband knows her best. ”Now all three of them got into this White family business, like they don't have enough going on.”
”Sometimes, when your plate is full, an additional bite does not make a big difference.”
Stella looked at her husband and had to agree with what he said.
”Out of all three, I am worried about Sarah the most.”, Stella said after a long silence.
”It is normal, she is the youngest. Remember that she is not by herself.”, Edward comforted Stella (and himself).
”Did you decide if you want to meet him?”, Edward knows that King requested to meet with Stella more than once.
Stella sighed. ”I can't avoid it any longer. I feel that he is running out of patience, and if that happens he becomes… unpredictable.”
Edward squeezed Stella's hand gently. ”I know that I'm not of much help but bring Owen.”
”Don't say that you are not much help. You are my biggest support.”
…
Outside in the garden…
Zula and Ron are sitting on a bench. Evening breeze made Zula shiver, and Ron swiftly draped his suit jacket over her shoulders.
”Thanks.”, she said shyly while pulling the edges to close around her in front.
Zula found that tonight Ron is very gentlemanly. She got to dance with him, they held hands, she stood by his side when he confronted his father and stepmother, he smiled at her… and he kissed her. Twice. On the lips.
Only yesterday she saw him as one of the boys, and tonight… he is special. And she is confident that he will stay that for a long time.
Zula's heart fluttered at the thought that Ron is sitting next to her on the bench, in a spot of the garden which is not lit up and her whole body jolted when he spoke.
”Where do you want to go?”
She turned to him questionably.
”For a date.”, he clarified.
Zula smiled. She likes that he thought about the date. He was serious about it.
”Do you have any ideas?”, she asked him.
He looked like he has at least one. ”How about Disneyland?”
Zula's face lit up. She never when there, but she knows that is a huge amusement park, and it's not a place where people go for few hours. It's for a whole day!
”I would love that.”
He made a hum of approval and his hand wrapped around her shoulders, pulling her to lean on him.
Zula leaned on Ron and felt his hand around her shoulders, and his jacket kept her warm and smelled faintly of his aftershave… and she was sure that this warm and fuzzy feeling inside her is telling her that this is what it means to have a boyfriend. Because she felt like she is floating.
