Eva looks at Ethan . "Why?"The color drained out of Ethan"s face when he heard how she asked .
The word that supposed to flow like a stream in the river couldn"t find the way to come out of Ethan"s mouth . He"s acting like a love-struck teenager, why couldn"t he just asks straight away without stammering .
"M-my grandfathers hosting dinner tonight and I"m taking the boys with me, I-I"m hoping you can accompany us . That"s if you have no other plan tonight?" Ethan asks in a low tone of voice, barely audible .
"What did you just said? I"m sorry! I can"t barely hear you?" Eva heard every word he said, she only wanted to listen to his soft melancholy voice .
Ethan repeated what he had said words for word with the same tone of voice that makes Eva"s heart flutter .
She scrunched up her face before replying . "So! Basically, you"re inviting me to come with you to this dinner party?"
Sadness clouded his features and fear crossed his face . " To sum it up, yes! That"s what I meant . "
"Why didn"t you say so! Sure! I would love to go, I don"t have nothing better to do anyway . " "There"s no one at home to celebrate this happy occasion, my family never around . " She unhappily thought while touching Bentong"s hair for comfort .
Ethan"s mouth curved into a smile, " that"s settled then! There"s a boutique here that has many beautiful evening dresses that you can choose from, want to check it out?" He chewed on his bottom lips while waiting for her to reply .
Eva"s whole face lit up she then plastered a sweet smile on her face and gave Ethan a lopsided grin before answering . "Lead the way!"
When Bentong heard her answer, he dropped whatever he"s doing and grabs Eva"s hand then Ethan . He happily called for Don-Don so they can leave .
All four of them walked hand and hand toward the boutique like a small family .
The formation was quite enchanting for an onlooker to see . Don-Don at one end by Eva"s right side, Bentong at the left side holding her hand as well, while holding Ethan"s on his left hand .
People had to pave the way when they come across them, none would let go of each other"s hand . A family of four was created, and it"s a sight to see .
Eva bid them goodbye after picking up the dress she would be wearing to the dinner . She didn"t want them to see which one she picked .
"Sister-Eva, why can"t we see the dress you"ll be wearing? " Bentong asks innocently .
"I know right! You didn"t even let us see you tried on any of the dresses . It"s not fair . " Ethan expression dulled
Eva gave Ethan a dirty look . " Stop coaxing them alright! It"s a surprise, and It won"t be anymore if you get to see me try it on alright!" She scowled Ethan playfully then winked at the boys .
"Since we"re all done here, how about we eat lunch, I saw that fast food chain that you loved so much at the food court," Ethan announced excitedly .
He thought that the boys would be jumping for joy when they hear his announcement . However, he was in for a shock when they declined .
"Nah!" Bentong said too quickly .
" Brother Ethan, can"t we go to a different fast food chain? I want to try the one that sells noodles, fried rice, and soup . " Don-Don interject .
"Whatever you guy want, that"s where we would eat . Let"s go!""
"Guy"s I"ll have to pa.s.s, alright! There are things a woman need to do before the party you know?"
She was about to leave when Ethan stopped her from going . " You didn"t give me your address yet, how are we supposed to pick you up?"
" Oh, yeah! How about you give me the address, and I will meet you all there?" Eva"s avoiding having to give her home address . It"s not good if someone from her household help sees him and the boys .
It"s a hundred percent that it would be reported to her father or grandfather, and she would be grounded if that happens .
Ethan didn"t have much of choice, he gave his home address to Eva . " We would wait for you, no matter what time you come . If anything happens and you cannot make it . . . " He couldn"t finish the sentence . He doesn"t want to consider that option .
"Anyway, call me for whatever reason!" Ethan said with a frowned on his face .
"Sure! No problem, I"m to contact you no matter what!" She playfully repeated his words . She waves them goodbye and proudly walked out of Ethan"s sight .
