Chapter 70: A BACKUP DRESS
"Stop this." Ranon felt his head was throbbing. Hazel could sing, but it would be good if she didn’t sing two keys above her key.
And even though the truth was: she was sad because he ate her last piece of cake and the song was not really sad, the feeling she gave off was the same, like she was mourning someone who was very dear to her.
Ranon swore, after this, he wouldn’t mess with her food anymore if this would be her reaction.
"Now tell me, are you going to wear your late mother’s wedding dress or what?"
Ranon actually turned down the volume of the music so she could hear his voice, and Hazel finally turned her head to look at him.
This change of topic interested her enough to answer him. "No, I will not wear that dress." This topic was the main contention between her and Greyson.
"But don’t you want to honor your late mother?"
"I don’t want to wear it. I have never met my mother; moreover, my father has never asked about it; he actually told me what to do. It was not a request. So, I don’t want to make my father happy because he managed to make me wear that dress."
"You didn’t want to wear that dress in order to spite your father." Ranon concluded.
"Yeah. More or less."
Ranon chuckled when he heard that. Hazel was being honest about her intention to spite her father, and the look on her face was funny. She looked at ease, even though from what Ranon heard, it caused a tension in the house.
