Chapter 81

  Lily darted her gaze to the man sitted on a chair staring intently at her, Dowson was quick to understand her stare and he quickly spoke, "Mother Liliana just got back and she needs to rest you can continue with your question later!" At that, Dowson took her away.

"Billy!" "Yes Madam!" A browned haired man said adjusting the glasses on his face. "Find out everything about the last daughter of prince Lucien Verdi. It would be a pleasure to finally have a reason to be part of such family!" She murmured the last sentence.

"Yes ma'am!" Billy left for his mission. "This is the kind of marriage we need in this family Ruben, not some disrespectful low class model!" Ruth said slightly irritated and Ruben rolled his eyes.

Now he thought of Lilo, she was everything he needed, funny, beautiful and smart. He thought at their last outing together, her genuine smiles were really beautiful. As the days went by, his feelings for her grew stronger.

He never thought he would ever be inlove with someone this much. Should he call his foreign feelings love?

    "You never told me i'ld be meeting your family yet!" Lily brought it up as they went through different hallways till they arrived before a door. She wondered who Dowson was, he only told her he was a business man. Was he something more?

"I'm sorry for not giving you a heads up. But I knew you wouldn't agree to it even if I initiated!" "Of course I won't, we only went out on a date once. We're yet to define our relationship, I can't just start meeting your family!" She said.

"You're right. I should have asked you out properly and take you out on multiple dates defining our relationship clearly before introducing you to my family!" "But it's already done. You're here now. We could go out on our second date tonight then maybe then, I can explain my feelings to you!" He said leaving Lily agape.

She didn't know what to say to Dowson. The first night they met he looked so intimidating and now he was being all sweet around her.

As if Dowson understood her, he pushed her door open and allowed the lady to get in first. Lily's heart kept beating really fast. She wanted someone who would love her for who she was and now she's found one, she was scared of falling inlove with him.

Dowson walked into the room with her, he noticed how stiff she was, "Do you like this room, I can get another one ready if you don't like this one!" He proposed but she rejected almost immediately.

"There's no use, this room looks beautiful!" She smiled. "Alright, I'll leave you to settle in!" He left closing the door behind. Lily suddenly regretted why she agreed to come here in the first place, what was she thinking? That she would fall inlove on their first date?

With all the heart break she has gone through it was hard for her to trust anyone.

    "Mummy Lost!" Jasmine screamed. "Daddy it's her turn to deep her face in the powder!" With JoJo's words Antonio was quick to deep Bella's head into the powder. And the girls laughed at her funny face.

"How come your dad has not lost before?" "That's because I'm a natural!" Antonio said proudly. "Rock, paper, scissors!" They continued their game that evening having fun as everyone felt happy.
