92 Chapter 5: Winter, Hospital visit and Invitation to Dinner (2/2)
”So, what was she like.”
”She's not in for greed. And I don't think she cares about the test either” she paused ”What will you do if he really is Anthony's child?”
”I'll decide what to do. If it is actually true.”
The Door opens again, and Anna appears unpleased.
”Must you really invite those people?” said Anna upset
”Inviting them will do no wrong.” Griffin responded unmoved and uncaring of her opinion.
”Anthony's not coming” Anise's voice appears through the half-opened door.”he said there's no reason to take a ridiculous claim seriously.”
”See even Anthony.”
”Is that all? ”he said ignoring Anna. Anise nodded in response before she left carrying on her business. With that Anna left with her arms folded.
The day transients by as the only noise heard is that of the servants making dinner and preparing the table. Finally, the elegant china plates are filled with a fine meal with a pleasing aromatic smell. The Connells and Ross are finally seated but, eating in an awkward silence that is erupted by Winter's constant giggling.
”Rose aren't you going to eat,” said Jake whispering so no one but Rose hears.
”I was,” said Rose tickling Winter again
”No, you Aren't,” he said, and she just smiled while playing with Winter. The noise irritated Anna, but she held back saying nothing. As her daughter Anise eats her food like a goblin but not forgetting her manners. David goes just the opposite but tries not to make any noise. While Coney is conflicted as to which soon, she should use to eat her soup with. Jake stares at Rose until she takes a spoon of soup in her mouth. He smiles satisfied before eating his own meal. Griffin can't help but keep his eyes on Winter seeing resemblances to Anthony from him. It was about after a quarter after 9 when
Mrs. Han walked in, and dinner was finished.
”The results sir,” said Mrs. Han
”So, what are they,” he said. David, Coney, and Anna had confident smiles as. Rose who was still playing with Winter was joined in by Jake after he was done.
”It is not a match.”
”What?” David and Coney went not believing what they heard. Opposite to them Jake, Rose, and Anise don't seem to care. Anna is delighted.
Griffin was surprised before getting himself lost in thought.
”But that can't be? We're sure Anthony's the father” said Coney stilled shocked
”Did something go wrong with the test” David trying to be calm
”The test is very accurate, and it may be the mother who is confused,”
Anna said glaring at Rose still annoyed from Winter's earlier noise. Jake who saw the tension whispered to him ”I think we should leave before Dad explodes” Coney nodded in agreement
