While on her way to the main hall where the celebrations were going in a full swing, Ruth received many compliments from not only the guests she passed by but also from the maids and guards who were mesmerised by her look.
Mrs Payne was walking beside her with a swelled chest. She couldn't express how proud she was of the woman Ruth had become today.
Ruth had seen the preparations and was a big part of it as Edwin wanted her to plan many things to her taste. But watching those decorations and preparations tonight was a different experience.
She could feel the buzzing energy around her that automatically uplifted her mood. She had never been to such large gatherings before. The only times she had faced the crowd was when she was to prove her worth.
But tonight, nobody would ask her that. In fact, they would bow down in front of her when she would stand by Edwin's side.
