Trapped In Her Heart - Chapter 293

Ellie and Sebastian’s apartment.

Gently caressing her hair, Sebastian sighed, “What is it?”

“What?”

Pulling her closer, he answered, “I mean, what is bugging you at this time?”

“Umm it’s nothing—”

Cutting her off, he remarked, “If  you don’t tell me, you know I will keep asking you so let’s cut the chase honey. Tell me what happened, did mom tell you anything?” when she shook her head, he added, “Then what is it?”

Placing her head on his chest, she sighed, “Today when your mother handed me the jewellery box which actually belonged to your grandmother, I don’t know why I felt like she gave it to me just because she had too but actually she didn’t want to. Are you understanding what I am trying to say?”

“Hmm I am.”

“She also told me she had plans for you.” Pausing for a while, she chuckled, “I am also very curious about the plans she had for you.”

“Why are you curious about that? I am so glad she never got a chance to execute those plans. My life would suck completely if that happened,” he sighed before helplessly shaking his head. Though Rebecca had never mentioned the ‘plans’ she had for him, Sebastian could easily guess what it might have been.

“Do you think she will ever like me? I mean—”

Cupping her cheeks, he explained, “For the hundredth time babe, you don’t have to stress over that. Even i f she doesn’t, it’s okay. We are not getting married to please or impress anyone else. We are getting married for us and I love you, isn’t that enough?” When she nodded her head, he continued, “So stop stressing over it and get some sleep, we have a long week ahead of us.”

…..

A couple of weeks later.

“Oh come on, we need to have a grand party this time,” Ava demanded.

“Exactly, no offence but Mel’s bachelorette was bleh. We need to at least party our asses off this time,” Charlotte added.

“Of course we will, what makes you think I will spare a single thing for my best friend’s bachelorette party?” Rubbing her palms together in excitement, Melissa added, “We will have a wild party.”

“Yeah, that is not gonna happen,” Noah commented before entering the room along with Sebastian and Calvin. “We have already planned everything.”

“What do you mean?” Ava frowned.

“We are going to have a joint bachelorette this time.”

Scrunching her frowned, Melissa scoffed, “How does that even make sense?”

“Exactly that is not even a thing,” Charlotte retorted.

“Yes but we will make it a thing.”

“But—”

Cutting her off, Ellie explained, “Actually, Seb and I already discussed this before. We don’t want anything extravagant or grand. So why don’t we all just hang out and party together?”

Groaning in frustration, Ava snapped, “I swear, if you people do this during my bachelorette, I am gonna kill you guys for real.”

“Alright, where are we going?” Charlotte inquired.

“Calvin is incharge of that, he will arrange something great,” Sebastian answered.

“And that will also be your wedding gift from our side.” Sitting beside Ava, Calvin added, “Don’t worry about anything else.”

…

Four days before the wedding.

Sebastian’s parents’ place.

“Did you pack everything?” When Rebecca just nodded her head, Arthur sighed, “It’s your son’s wedding, can’t you be a little more enthusiastic?”

“What is there to be excited about? It’s not like the wedding is a grand one and there are many things to take care of? It’s a small wedding with a very few things to take care of,” she snapped.

“I can’t believe you are still fussing over it. Kids are getting married and everything is normal now, can’t you just make your peace with it?” he frowned.

“Does it really matter whether I am okay with it or not? You have already made your peace with it so be happy and enjoy it. Let me just do whatever I want to,” Rebecca stated before walking out of the room.

Grabbing her hand, Arthur growled, “What do you mean by that?”

Without saying anything, she jerked her hand off before walking out of the room.

…..

Sebastian and Ellie’s place.

“So are they coming to the wedding as well?” Charlotte inquired before ruffling Bojo and Boji’s fur simultaneously.

“Of course they are, how can we not take them?” Taking out a red dress from the wardrobe, Ellie sighed. “Do you think this will look okay?”

“Girl, you are glowing these days, even if you wear a rag you will look gorgeous. Trust me.”

“I will take that as a yes,” she chuckled.

“Where are we going today?” Charlotte inquired.

“It’s some hotel which has this amazing pub. Sebastian was telling me about a project which he is working on with Calvin. I don’t know exactly but I have a feeling it’s related to the hotel we are going today,” Ellie explained.

“That sounds nice, lets have fun today.”

Just then Ava entered the room. “This is weird,” she muttered.

“What happened?” Charlotte inquired.

“Something very strange happened.” Sitting on the edge of the bed, she added, “Mother called me and she was exceptionally sweet.”

“Okay, so you are worried because she was sweet to you?” Charlotte chuckled.

Ava nodded her head and explained, “Yes, she is never this sweet. I mean, she does talk properly when she is in a good mood but not so sweetly like she did today. She even told me to have fun at the party today, which is also very strange because she doesn’t like it when I party hard with everyone.”

Scrunching her brows, she added, “Call me mean but why do I feel like she is up to something.”

“Even I felt a bit weird when she called me when I was in Seattle, but then I did not think much because I thought maybe she is trying to be nice,” Ellie remarked.

“Trying to be nice?” Ava scoffed. “We are talking about Rebecca Stewart here, she won’t try to be nice even if she realizes that it’s her fault.”

“Shrugging her shoulders, Ellie sighed, “Maybe we are just overthinking.”
