Chapter 80 Ashley’s Birthday Party.
The next few days had gone in a bliss of eventless hours. And soon, it was the day of Ashley’s birthday party.
Standing in front of the mirror, Leonica examined the dress Ashley had insisted hard on her wearing. It was a black evening gown, opened at the back with moderate neckline and golden lining at the bottom which stopped at her ankle.
At first glance, she saw nothing special about the dress and wondered why Ashley had been so insistent on her wearing it.
“Mommy, it’s time to go~” Came Ashley’s voice from outside her room door and soon, the small child appeared, dressed in a black suit and pants, a befitting attire for his birthday party.
It was then Leonica took one look at his dress and then back at hers in the mirror and chuckled. Now she understood why Ashley had insisted on her wearing the dress he had picked out. It was because he was wearing something to match her.
The lapel of his tiny black suit had glitters of gold and so did his tiny bow tie, almost as if it was made to go precisely with Leonica’s dress.
“Oh Ash,” She breathed out.
“Mommy, you look beautiful.” Ashley complimented.
“Thank you Ash, you don’t look so bad yourself.” She said and offered her hand and they both walked down the stairs.
“Grace, please watch the house well.”
“Of course. Would you need me to prepare anything? A late night dinner perhaps?”
