Get Me Married

Chapter 49: Not the woman I love

I turned to Ava, still confused about what she was saying, her eyes were a bright brownish color but not a blue,

Like that of her sister. Yet they were bright and beautiful, it also had that same look of appreciation and gratitude it had when she saw him first at their house, and a smile was on her face.

“Ava… I don’t…..”

“Oh my God!” She suddenly yelled and turned to the window of the car with wide eyes.

“Is that where we are going?” She asked excitedly and anything I was going to say or ask her flew down the window immediately.

“Yes…that’s our house” I replied her and she shrieked with wide eyes.

“That’s where my sister lives too?” He asked and I gave her a nod.

She shrieked again, loudly, it was killing my ears but for the first time all through our ride, I smiled at her ecstasy and excitement.

“It’s huge”

Ava turned to the window and didn’t look back at me at all. She was so engrossed with staring at the mansion from afar off that I left her to do whatever she wanted to and had some time alone.

I wondered how Genesis would react to seeing her sister at home. I bet she was going to be happy to see her after such a long time and that thought alone got me happy and excited. Making her happy was the aim after all, and it was my way of making up for all the times I didn’t believe when she told me Sam was responsible.

We arrived at the mansion and drove in. If Ava was excited before, she was more than excited now. Her eyes were wide and she couldn’t wait to get out of the car.

I obliged her of course and we both came down from the car the moment we had driven to the front of the house.

“The fountain is beautiful?”

“Oh gosh…the garden”

“I want to live here” she started and fixed her eyes on everything she could. I allowed her to feast her eyes at everything she could till I became tired myself. I had to hold her hand just to pull her attention back to me.

“Do you want to go inside now?”

She gave me a nod and I turned to the door. Guards bowed as usual and even that intrigued her.

I heard her like I would hold onto a sister if I had one and led her into the house without feeling old. She stopped in her tracks and also made me stop. Then she looked around again, her eyes going left, right, up, down, and center with her mouth wide open.

“Why didn’t you think of surprising my sister a loi sooner?”

I had started with her sister and wouldn’t have thought of surprising her sister then even if I could. Those times I hated her
