GoodReadChapter 73
Aria and Rosie are at home preparing to leave for the shopping mall, Rosie’s phone vibrates to signify a new message; she picks
the phone up and opens it immediately. It was a message from Sammy, he had sent some instructions to her as Princess Lena
requested.
Few minutes later, there was a knock on the door. Aria looked at Rosie with a questioning glare, she was probably wondering
who was at the door.
Rosie understood her unsaid words; she replied with silent words of her own, she gave her that look that says “I have no idea.”
Aria stood up immediately and headed for the door; she was a bit nervous and had second thoughts on opening the door herself.
Rosie was getting dressed or she would have asked her to do it.
She got to the door and took a deep breath before opening it, just like she had feared, it was Oliver knocking.
She stood there stunned, like she was still seeing him for the first time since she returned. She had literally left his house right
now so why was she so spooked to see him.
“You can at least let us in mom,” Lena said, bringing Aria’s attention to her.
“Oh, I didn’t see you there,” she said and forced a smile.
“Of course, how would you see me, when you are busy gawking at Dad. It’s fine mom, you are free to stare, he is my daddy after
all,” she said and giggled.
Aria swallowed hard and walked into the sitting room immediately, leaving the door open for them to walk in. Lena was such a
weaver bird, or better still a parrot.
“Nice to see you again, Aria,” Sammy said with a smile, trying to get her attention as she had not noticed him.
She turned back to them in surprise. “Oh my God, Sammy, I didn’t see you there,” she said in excitement and made to hug him
Lena couldn’t help but laugh; she had noticed what happened between them. Aria wondered what they had come here for.
“So, I had no idea that Tuesdays were office free days,” she said with a bit of sarcasm.
“Well, that is not exactly the case, we just decided to take a day off,” Oliver replied.
“That is right, daddy’s taking us to the beach,” Lena exclaimed in excitement.
“To the beach?” Aria muttered
“Yes, we wanted to know if you would be interested in joining us,” he replied.
“Oh, I don’t think so... Rosie and I are going shopping in a few minutes, so I won’t be able to go with you guys,” she replied to
Oliver’s disappointment.
“Did I hear someone say Beach, I am totally in, that is just what I need to ease the stress of the wedding preparations,” Rosie
said excitedly as she walked into the sitting room.
“What?” Aria muttered. “What are you talking about Rosie? We are going wedding shopping right?” she queried.
“No, not anymore, I remember that the shop would not be open today, moreover they will give discounts on Friday so we should
leave it till then,” she replied.
“Yes, Rosie is right, the shopping can’t happen today, Tuesdays hold the highest records for bad shopping days,” Sammy added
in support.
“Huh?” Aria muttered. She had not heard anything of that sort before, she had her suspicions that this was a sort of conspiracy,
why did they suddenly decide to go to the beach and Rosie who had been so excited for this shopping trip suddenly changed her
mind and decided to join them instead?
“I think going to the beach would prove useful for all of us. You know, take a day off work and relax, I will get my swimming trunks
and we can leave immediately, you should come too, Aria,” Rosie suggested and ran into the inner room.
“Yes mom, you should come spend time with us, I want to try out the beach in Las Vegas, I am sure it would be fun,” Lena said
Aria sighed, she didn’t want to be anywhere around Oliver but it looks like she didn’t have much of a choice. Everyone had
agreed to the trip to the beach, including Rosie. If she refused to go with them, then she would be left behind to stay alone in this
house.
Well, as much as she was enjoying getting back under this roof, it would be super boring without her best friend in it. Perhaps
she should just go with them.
“Alright guys, I am coming along,” she said, just as Rosie walked out with her swimming trunks in a bag.
“Great, then we should better get going before the sun comes out,” Oliver suggested. He was glad that Aria had agreed to come
with them, this was just a trick to bring them together alone.
Aria sighed and walked out of the house reluctantly. She stood outside and noticed the two cars; one was Sammy’s own and the
other belonged to Oliver. She had no idea who to ride with, and she missed having her own car and her own driver.
She decided to ride with Sammy and Rosie but when she got to the car door, she met Lena standing on her path, she had no
idea how she even got there before her.
“Um... mom, I think you are getting into the wrong car, that is daddy’s car over there,” she said, pointing to the car in front.
“I know that okay? This is where I chose to ride,” she replied.
“Really? Why not just leave the soon to be couple some private time,” she said with a crumpled face and arms on her waist.
Aria grinned, she knew exactly what her daughter was up to, trying to get her to ride in the same car with Oliver, well she was not
interested.
“Thanks for the thoughts sweetheart, but I don’t think Sammy and Rosie have a problem with it, so you can ride with your father,
while I ride with my best friend,” she said and smiled.
The rest of them walked out of the house and Sammy got into the driver seat of his car, while Aria sat behind, waiting for Rosie
to join..
Princess Lena sighed, feeling disappointed. She let her mom win this time and went to sit at the front beside her dad. She might
have failed this time, but she still has tons of back up plans.
Rosie locked the door and joined Aria in Sammy’s car. She didn’t really love the idea of beach over shopping but she wanted to
help Lena and Oliver achieve their goals of reuniting the husband and wife.
