Chapter 99 Engagement 26

 "That witch, my instinct never fails, she left the farm that day after causing a ruckus!" Carie said furiously. "She caused Delaney's death!" I said irritated. "And to think the first day I saw her I liked her. No wonder Grandma called me a whore!" I added.

"Grandma?" "Yes, I went to her room to apologise for Alex's rude behavior towards her and Avery. She even offered to help me leave Alex, if I knew where Alex kept my mum I wouldn't think twice!" I said nonchalantly.

I just thought this was the right time to pour out my heart to Carie. I'm not a fighter but I practiced being strong inwardly just to keep up with his arrogant attitude. "Just tell me how much Alex has hurt you Hazel!" Carie said.

The raps on the door distracted us from our heart to heart conversation, "Come in!" Carie said and Alfred walked in with five maids, they rolled in a wheelchair. I was agape when I saw them bring in the wheel chair. I thought Alex was joking when he said I needed a wheel chair, even if I knew his words were not to be taken lightly.

"It's just a cut on my legs, not a major injury!" I murmured. "Don't tell me Alex got you this chair for the little cut on your legs!" Carie said astonished. "Yes he did. Welcome to our crazy words!" I said to have her laugh. "You two deserve each other, incase no one has ever told you, you're the most stubborn woman on Earth!" Carie said and the smile on my face dropped.

"What? I don't think I'm more stubborn than you are!" I said meaningfully and she glared at me. We are both stubborn but don't like when someone talk about it.

"Madam, Master Alex asked me to deliver this wheel chair to you once it gets here. These maids here will help you with whatever you need!" Alfred said with a bow. I and Carie have been on an argument earlier that we forgot someone was right before us.

"Alright Alfred!" Carie said. "Miss Darla has arrived for your jewelry shopping!" Alfred added as he bowed and closed the door behind him.

"What if things has changed now? What if Alex now likes you. I mean someone who doesn't care would not do what he's doing. And besides for you to care for someone you must actually like the person!" Carie said.

Okay where did that come from? I thought we already talked about this even if we haven't concluded it yet. "Carie I know you love me and want me to be with your brother, but you can't force something that is not meant to be!" I said.

"Oh please, if it's not meant to be then you should work hard so it will be. I can't loose a sister like you, you're too genuine and sweet to leave. Avery doesn't talk much or give listening ears to me!" Carie said with a livid face, like a child that just got rubbed of her candy.

"That's enough, we can still be friends even if I'm not with Alex anymore!" I said. We had to face reality, I've been carried away by everything that I forgot my place in this relationship. Or maybe it's because, I now have feelings for Alex, I really was confused. I don't know the right part to follow.

"Come on Hazel stop being negative, besides everything he said or did was when you barely knew each other. I can tell now that you both understand each other than few weeks back!" Carie said. We were distracted by another raps on the door and Alfred walked inside again.

"Sorry for disturbing Madam, I'm here to get your food!" He bowed. "Carry on!" I said and he went ahead to pack and to also clear the bed side table. "Darla must be exhausted from her waiting let's go shop Mrs Wilson!" Carie suggested and I nodded in agreement.

The assigned maids helped me on the wheelchair and we left the room.
