Chapter 27: Sunday Morning/ Afternoon

Last time, Adrien was in a sad state of mind. I found out Uncle Adrien's client is Éclair Laurent. A woman seemed to know my mom.

Ambrosi, what are trying to pull? Ghita asked. Whatever do you mean? Ambrosi asked. Mom, do you know this woman? I asked. Do you remember the picture of eight children in grandma's house? Ghita asked. Oh, that one who gave me narcissist vibes? I asked. You remember the one who looks older with resentment? Ghita asked. This is Ambrosi Laurent, your aunt and my older sister. Ghita replied. I see you are still looking for that baby daddy of yours? Ambrosi asked. Ghita glared at Ambrosi. Adrien walks downstairs. Now ladies, we are here to fit a dress now. Adrien replied. Adrien pulled Ghita away. Ambrosi this is Éclair's dress. Adrien replied. Mom this dress is so pretty for the ball. Éclair replied. It is pretty, my Uncle Adrien always makes the best dresses. I replied. I smiled. Well our mom's look like they hate each other. Éclair replied. Uncle Adrien can I eat some breakfast on the table? I asked. Go ahead, Gaby. Adrien replied. Adrien walked behind Ghita. You need to calm down and collect yourself. Adrien replied. I hate that woman with every fiber of my being. Ghita replied. Ambrosi walked over to Éclair. So you are the results of her decision to fall for that narcissistic man? Ambrosi asked. Why are attacking my mom? I asked. I am disappointed with her decisions. Ambrosi replied. It seems more like you wanted to rule her life by making decisions for her. I replied. You are Ghita's child alright. That sharp tongue of yours. Ambrosi replied. Ghita walked to the table. What is going in here? Ghita asked. Ambrosi smiles. You have one disrespectful little girl. Ambrosi replied. What did you say to Gaby? Ghita asked. I know my child. What did you say to her? Ghita asked. Well let me try on my dress. Éclair replied. Éclair asked Adrien where can she change into her dress. Go down the hall to the bathroom. Éclair started asking Adrien why the two hate each other? Adrien started to explaining the reasons. Éclair, your mom and her other siblings are control freaks. They all want the best for her but soon as my older brother told her, "don't let her siblings make decisions for her." She made her first decisions but that led to Gabriela. Adrien replied. I see, their overprotective actions drove her away. Éclair replied. After she tried the dress on Éclair showed her mom the dress. The dress is beautiful on you, Éclair. Ambrosi replied. Éclair smiles. The dress is gorgeous. What shoes are you going to wear? I asked. I have black heels. Huh, your dress is Lapis. Try with golden heels. I have a pair at home that I bought in Athens Shopping District two months ago. I have never been worn them. I replied. What you went to Greece? Éclair asked. My mom and I went there as our vacation. I replied. I wear a size *40 in France. Éclair replied. We are the size. I replied. We smiled. You know you two need to make up, your daughters have befriended each other. Adrien replied. Later that day, Ambrosi and Ghita made up. My mom smiled. A picture of the eight siblings came to mind. My mom smiles. I thought. As we walked outside, my dad appears. Ambrosi, how are you? Hadrien asked. Aren't you a married man with kids, right? Ambrosi asked. Yes. Hadrien replied. My dad looked as if he was a little shocked. Ambrosi, Hadrien is here to see if Adrien is able to make sane decisions. Ghita replied. I will mind my business. Ambrosi replied. Ambrosi and my mom walked to Ambrosi's car. Ghita since all this happened because of me. I will take you home and buy you dinner. Adrien replied. Adrien, that is not necessary. Ghita replied. Girl, take him up on that offer. He's successful and handsome to add. Go for it. Ambrosi whispered. Ghita adverted her eyes. Alright, I will take you up on your offer. Ghita replied. Adrien smiles.

At that moment, I saw a side of mom that was foreign to me. She was being shy. Uncle Adrien having a genuine smile on his face. All this confusion will come to happy ending, right? I thought.
