Chapter 74 - Chapter 74 Will they like her?

Later in the afternoon, Luna left with Dylan to go for shopping at the mall. She bought him some clothes and shoes and after bought herself a dress and some simple things like lingerie and night dresses.

Reaching the counter to pay, she saw an old woman at her back and she offered her place for the woman to go first. The woman looked up with a smile to thank her for her polite gesture but the instant she saw her face, the woman's face became pale and she fainted.

Luna was surprised at what happened. People surrounded her and later she was carried away by who seemed to be bodyguards and they left. Throughout the entire time, Luna's mind wandered off to the old woman. Was she imagining things or did the woman faint after seeing her face? She decided to let go of the matter and they went back home.

Not long after they reached, Graham also came back. They started preparing themselves. At exactly seven, the three were done. Luna was dressed in a long red dress which hugged her upper body to her waist and loosened at her lower body. She looked decent yet sexy at the same time. The dress complimented her rich blonde hair and her pale skin. A light shade of red lipstick was put on her lips and she looked perfectly simple for the evening.

Graham on the other hand was dressed in cache casual jeans and matched it with a black T-shirt that hugged his broad upper body. They headed towards the car and on their way, Graham asked," You seem to be lost somewhere. Nervous?" "Not that. I'm just confused about something." "And what is that?" "Just something strange happened today when we were at the mall that's all." "I want to know about it." Luna told him what happened and he asked," Forrest Mall was it?"

"Yes." "Okay. I will look into it," he assured.

At the mansion, everyone was waiting. Abigail had reached with Jake, Ciara was already there since she had been staying at the mansion ever since the ball was soon approaching. Rebecca and Raphael Cullen were also there. Checking her wrist watch, Rebecca frustratedly sighed before saying," He said at six and now it's clocking to eight."

"I think he's here," said Abigail as she heard a sound of a car approaching.

When the car entered the gates of the mansion, Luna gawked at the luxury she saw. The mansion was not only so big but also well maintained. Getting out of the car, she looked at the guards and then the big compound. At the front of the mansion, there was a fountain and in it was a beautiful sculpture of a woman carrying something and on closer look it was their name, CULLENS that had been beautifully carved in her hands. "We are going in," Graham's voice removed her from her daze and she nodded.

With every step they took, it only increased her anxiety and nervousness as she could hear her heart beat erratically in her chest. At the amount of fortune she had just seen outside, she was now more scared. Will they like her?

After what seemed like forever, the Cullens saw their son who entered the house but were completely startled when they saw a woman coming with him. Their lips parted in disbelief when they saw the little one with them. On seeing the baby's face, they didn't need to be told who he was. The whole atmosphere became silent. Abigail was the first to come out of her daze and stood up slowly walking towards them and asked," Graham, this is your son?" "What do you think?" he asked her. "Oh! My nephew, oh my goodness." She squatted down to his level and took his hand but he quickly pulled away and clung to his mother. "I'm sorry. He is not comfortable with new people," said Luna apologetically. "It's okay I understand. Are you his mother?" she asked and Luna nodded. Surprised Abigail put her hands on her mouth before saying," Oh my God, you're so beautiful. When did this happen? How old is he?" "Thank you but I think you're more beautiful. He just made two years." As the two women were lost in their own world, Rebecca was shocked. She clearly remembered that girl who came at the hospital that night. Why didn't she abort? And where has she been? They looked for her everywhere. As soon as Ciara saw the boy, she started crying. That's the girl they told her about two years ago. Didn't they say that she aborted? And where has she been hiding all this time, they looked for her? Now that she remembers, she is the same woman at the ball with the mask. Does it mean she has been with Graham all these days? She has really lost to this worthless woman. Ciara's tears increased. She felt her heart being squeezed a thousand times.
