56. Nice dress
It was already evening, Matilda was in the kitchen preparing dinner while Edna was sitting on the couch and watching TV when Ivy came to sit beside her.
“Hey Edna, you can tell Zach to stop toying with Regina’s feelings. I got Blake fair and square and I’ve decided to forget about the past” she said.
Edna scoffed.
“I wish he was playing with her”
“What do you mean that they were real all this while?” Ivy’s eyes widened and Edna just let out a simple shrug.
“Gosh, you’re not a very relaying person to count on, if this had meant so much to me, is this how you would disappoint me?” Ivy rolled her eyes as she thought but Edna only gave her a crybaby face.
“Narcissist” Ivy scoffed and left.
“Okay stop saying that!!” Edna yelled after her.

Skyler was in the room, working on Edna’s dress that she was almost done with since the red carpet was fast approaching.
A knock sounded on the door.
“Who?”
“It’s Carson, can I come in?” Carson, who was the one knocking, replied and Skyler narrowed her eyes.
Today would be the first time the youngest son of Delgado came to look for her and she began wondering why but she permitted him to come in anyway.
Carson slowly opened the door, looking slightly nervous.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
“Sister-in-law, how was fashion designing class? You seem to be doing well with all these I’m seeing on your table” he started nervously.
Skyler only gave him a knowing look and he sighed.
“Fine I wanna talk about two months ago” he confessed and she twitched her lips as she stared at him.
“You saw me with that guy that night and yes I’m gay but please don’t tell anyone, especially Grandpa” he pleaded with his palms folded together.
“But why are you hiding your sex life from your grandpa, being gay isn’t a crime, when I was still in high school, I had many gay and lesbian friends and they weren’t ashamed to tell their family” she shrugged at him.
“It just rolls out so easily from your tongue! Grandpa would never accept me like this!” He scoffed.
“Assuming is not good, just tell him first because he will find out sooner or later,” Skyler replied.
“Just help me keep this one secret, is it too much to ask?” Carson snapped and angrily stormed out of the room.
Skyler didn’t take any offense in the way it acted, they were teenagers and thought they knew their method of handling their stuff was always correct. It was his love life and if he wanted to keep secrets and enjoy it then so be it.
In some hours, everyone was completely in the dining both having dinner.
“So I talked to Dylan and Antonio and they would be coming for the red carpet,” Grandpa Mario announced.
“Cool, I miss Dad” Ivy smiled while Maya was busy on her phone and Rosa caught her.
“Look at you Maya, you are doing what Dad warned the kids to stop doing, why use gadgets in the dining room?” She asked.
Maya glared at her but when she saw the old man looking at her, she immediately dropped her phone to one side.
“So Skyler, how’s Edna’s dress going? The red carpet is in a week from me” Hudson asked.
“I’m so close to working on the dress, trust Edna would love it” Skyler smiled at it.
“None of my business and no offense to you Skyler but this is the red carpet we are talking of, Edna is competing to wear the best dress and you’re nowhere close to professional so how should we trust you? ” Maya said and Skyler’s smile turned to a frown.
“I can trust her because she’s the woman I trust with my heart and she’s securing it up till now” Mason replied without looking at his mother.
Grandpa Mario just chuckled at what Mason said.
“Baby Grandson, you did take after me when I was young,” he said with a smile.
Mason just squeezed his face with what his grandpa called him, that was a cringe for him to listen to.
“I’m not saying we should… I’m just..”
“You always look for a way to insult Skyler’s Aunt,” Hudson rolled his eyes.
Maya still wanted to talk but Grandpa Mario automatically shut her down.
“You’ve said enough Maya” he gave her a look and she didn’t say anything anymore which made Rosa smile.
After dinner, Maya went to Ivy’s room, she was chatting with Blake on the phone.
“Mom, why are you here by this time?” She looked up at Maya.
“I am worried Ivy, it’s been two months and I haven’t heard from Agnes, what about you?” She asked worriedly.
“Same here mom, I tried reaching out to Hailey in any way I could but I’m not even close to positive and she doesn’t live in her house anymore if she doesn’t wanna talk to me it’s fine, I have a boyfriend now” Ivy rolled her eyes.
“Which boyfriend?” Maya narrowed her eyes.
“Blake” Ivy smiled sheeply and Maya rolled her eyes before leaving the room.
“Yeah, thanks for being happy for me!!” Ivy shouted after her before rolling her eyes.

ONE WEEK LATER★
Skyler was home with Jacob and Carson since it was already 5 pm and she was showing him the dress she made Edna since the red carpet would be happening tomorrow.
“I think Edna isn’t worth all these” Carson shook his head after seeing how beautiful the dress looked.
“Don’t speak ill about your cousin, I bet she would be so happy” Skyler shut him down and Carson rolled his eyes.
The doorbell rang and Jacob stood up.
“I ordered something, that might be for me” he stood up from the couch and went to get the door.
It was a delivery man with an expensive shopping bag.
“Is Edna in? Someone ordered to drop it here for her” the man said.
Jacob nodded and collected it before going in. Carson immediately stood up and grabbed the bag from him.
“I heard it’s for Edna, let’s see what she got” he immediately opened the bag and pulled out a nice dress.
