“How do I look?”

Ava glanced at her young daughter and nodded in satisfaction. “Absolutely stunning, of course. Look at you both, you are my baby daughters Don’t worry, you two will be the belles of the ball.”

Barbara and Becky, one on each side of Ava, gratefully beamed at her.

“We won’t be the prettiest ones there. The most beautiful woman at the banquet will definitely be you, Mom”

Ava chuckled. “You girls sure know how to sweet talk”

They all shared a light–hearted laugh. After a while, Becky’s smile faded, and she asked somberly, “Dad’s going to be there with you at the state banquet, right?” Ava’s smile vanished, too, as a flicker of pain crossed her eyes. Becky realized her misstep, but it only fueled her resentment. “Dad’s being ridiculous. You’re his lawful wife. How can he spend every day with that other woman? She can’t even have children, and yet he neglects us for her. I hate him!”

Ava felt a pang of pain. “Enough, Becky! Haven’t I taken good care of you two?”

Startled by Ava’s outburst, Becky withdrew her hand and stomped upstairs.

Barbara comforted Ava, patting her shoulder gently. “Don’t be upset. Dad will definitely come back for such an important occasion. He always did, didn’t he? And unlike other men, Dad doesnt have multiple wives. You still have your dignity…
