Villainess Becomes The Knight - Chapter 232

“I have something important to tell to both of you.” if i would say that i was not afraid then it would be a lie. I do want a happy loving family. In the past, I have always thought that she was taking my mother’s place and she would be very angry if we showed disloyalty to her and accepted this woman.

Now that I think about it, I was sure my mother would have only wished for our happiness and a loving family even when she left us.

We both looked at each other as if she was looking different. Since the day I met her, she was always calm, even when she was playing a trick on me or lost a trick, she was always calm. But right now, she was hesitating and her face was looking too stiff.

“Is there some problem mother?” asked Isabella as I looked at her.

“When we were at the auction. I saw a beautiful pair of earrings. So, I bought them for you.” she replied as she took out the earring and gave it to Isabella. I looked at her bright smile even after getting her own jewelry as a gift, she was looking content. But I wonder why she stopped me? To show their affection, and made me jealous. If that was the case, then I must say she had succeeded.

I turned to leave, now that her mission was over but she called again.

“Wait, Abigail” sigh! Why did she still hate me so much? Could she not see the changes in me at all!

I turned only to see a beautiful ring in her hands,

“But surprisingly the earrings have a free ring with it. Since it is a very simplistic design, it would not suit my taste. So, here, you can keep it.” she forwarded the ring towards me while i continued to look at her stunned.

Since we were the organizers, we knew there was nothing free with any piece of jewelry and the ring she was giving me was one of the expensive pieces. Bella looked at me with an amused face while I continued to stand there dumbfounded as I looked at the ring in my hands.

“Oh, I did not know that the jewels have such expensive free gifts with them.” she mumbled as she took the ring from my hands.

Her mother frowned as she looked at Bella, “of course, you would have known if you would have attended the auction with me. But you were roaming around like a commoner, you need to practice your etiquettes more. Now pass the ring back to Abigail.” She tried to take the ring from Isabelle but she wore it in her finger instead.

“But mother, since this beautiful ring is free with my pair of earrings, shouldn’t it be gifted to me too?” she asked in a very innocent voice as she looked at her mother with enquiring eyes.

She gritted her teeth as she glared at Isabella. Her face was turning red but she was looking cute that way? Has she always been this adorable and tsundre!?

“Isabella Essendson, what kind of behavior is this? You have forgotten your manners completely. Pass the ring back to your sister.” she scolded in a sharp voice but Isabella just shook her head like a brat she used to behave in the past.

“No, since it was free with my gift, it is also mine. I would have given it to her if you had personally brought it for her.” she replied, shrugging her shoulders, making her mother tongue tied.

She looked at me and then at Isabella who was not listening to her at all.

“You are being greedy here.” she murmured but Isabella did not care at all. She ran away with my ring still in her fingers.

“I.. I think I should go too.“ I replied as she continued to look at me awkwardly.

“Mmm.. I will discipline her later.” with that she continued eating her dessert, but her face was looking like she would beat Bella later.

I walked out with a calm face but just as I reached my chamber, I started laughing so hard that I had to hold my stomach. They both were too cute.

I moved and opened the drawer and took out the photograph of my mother. Her green eyes have always calmed me, no matter how worried I have ever been.

“I hope you are not disappointed in me, mother.” I murmured as I caressed her cheeks.

How much time had passed when I opened my eyes. It was already the birth of a new day.

“I looked at the photograph in my hand and smiled when the door knocked.

“My lady, lady Isabella is already here and the carriage is ready. If you would not get ready, you will be late.” I nodded as I stretched my body. This weekend was tiring and I did not even realize how the days went by. I only wish that this week ends without any trouble, so i could come back and rest.

“Then prepare a bath for me. And pack my breakfast. I will have it on the carriage.”

“But that would be uncomfortable!” she replied with a frown but I shook my head.

“Only pack sandwiches and fruits that could be eaten easily. I do not want to be late again.” she sighed as she nodded and left and I stood up.

After taking a bath and getting ready, I walked out of the place where Beth was waiting for me with a big picnic basket in her hands and I shook my head. She did not listen at all.

“Where is Isabella?” I asked and she pointed at the carriage. Both Isabella and her mother were standing there as she hugged her mother and entered in the carriage.

I walked towards them with slow steps, hoping she would leave, before I reached there but she continued to stand there even when Bella was already in the carriage.

“Abigail”
