Chapter 42: Put A Smile On Your Face

His lips trembled as he stared at Leia, who was also staring at him from a distance, and his eyes twitched when he saw the vicious grin on her lips. She looked so different,... She looked very lovely and much more endowed compared to when she was living with him. The Leia he was looking at right now looked different from the Leia he hated and tortured before. She was giving off this dangerous vibe that was making him uncomfortable.

The story altered; it wasn't going the way he wanted it to go anymore. I mean, she looks happy. That wasn't how it was supposed to be, right? She was supposed to look skinny and unhealthy, and most of all, she was supposed to be miserable. This was not what he planned when he sold her away. Everything was going wrong here!

Mr. Adolpho proceeded to take a deep breath, but his eyes abruptly blinked vigorously when he suddenly heard her voice. "It's been a long time, father." Leia smiled warmly and spread her arms to hug him. 

She wrapped her arms around him and when her head got near his, she whispered into his ear. "You should put a smile on that shocked face of yours because you look like a fool at this moment." She chuckled in a low tone and drew back from the embrace.

Mr. Adolpho fluttered his eyes, and an unknown glint flashed in his pitch-black eyes. His eyes narrowed into a thin line, and he gazed intently at her.

Leia smiled and ignored him. She turned to Amy and Jenny, who stood beside their father with a dumbstruck utterance on their faces, and a soft chuckle escaped her lips. "Dear sisters, did you guys miss me this much? Aww, I missed you guys too." She stepped forward and pulled the both of them into a hug, but before she drew back from the embrace, she whispered into their ears. "You two should put some smiles on your pretty faces." Jenny and Amy trembled and pulled away from the hug immediately.

Adrik, who noticed the heavy atmosphere, cleared his throat and pulled Leia to his side. He encircled his arm around her waist and tightened it to prevent her from leaving his arm. Leia raised her eyes and secretly glared at him.

"Mr. Avalanzo." Mr. Adolpho hurriedly extended his hand out with an awkward smile on his face. Adrik nodded at him and exchanged a handshake with him.

Mr. Adolpho parted his lips to say something, but a lady's voice resounded, causing all five of them to turn their heads over and see Lady Cathryn, who was draped in a long white sleeveless dress that sparkled under the luminous light of the chandelier, walking towards them.

"Mr. Avalamzo, it's so good to see you." She extended her pale hand and exchanged a handshake with Adrik. Her eyes shifted to Leia, and she raised her brow in surprise. Who was this girl? She was sure that she never heard of Adrik getting married or having a girlfriend. She shifted her gaze back to Adrik and a mischievous smile spread across her lips. "Your girlfriend?"

Adrik turned his head and glanced at her with an expressionless face. "My wife." He turned to Leia and tucked the strand of hair that fell over her face into the back of her ear. 

Lady Cathryn, Mr. Adolpho, and his daughters blinked their eyes in disbelief, and Lady Cathryn couldn't help but glance at Leia once again. His wife? How come? Why was there no news of the marriage?

She scrutinized Leia from head to toe, and she slowly revealed a smile. "Which family are you from, dear?" She gazed at Leia with uncertainty apparent in her gray eyes, but Leia simply glanced at her and her face puckered in displeasure. She ignored Lady Cathryn and wrapped her arms around Adrik.

Lady Cathryn's eyes fluttered as her face darkened and she revealed a fake smile. She parted her lips and proceeded to say something, but Mr. Adolpho immediately cut her off, causing her to swallow her words. "She's my daughter." He smiled awkwardly and cleared his throat. None of these fellow rich people knew about Leia, nor that he had a third daughter because he never took Leia anywhere with him. He always brought Amy and Jenny along with him when attending these kinds of parties.

Lady Cathryn's eyes squinted in dumbstruck, and she glanced at Leia, then at Mr. Adolpho. "And we had no idea about her! You hid such a lovely daughter of yours from us." She clicked her tongue and shook her head. "I could have introduced her to my handsome nephew. They would probably be a perfect match."

Adrik's eyes narrowed dangerously and he glared at Lady Cathryn, which she didn't notice as her attention was fixed on Leia and Mr. Adolpho.

Lady Cathryn chuckled softly and turned around to the dance floor when the music began. "Oh, the music has begun." She turned to them and a smile formed on her lips. "Shall we all dance?" She walked up to Mr. Adolpho and interlocked her arm with his, then led him to the dance floor.

Adrik turned to Leia and smiled at her. "Wanna dance?" He coughed slightly and gazed at her with expectation in his eyes. Leia nodded her head with a half-smile on her lips, and he led her away to the dance floor.

They faced each other, and Adrik placed his left arm on her waist, then interlocked his right hand with Leia's hand. With Leia's right hand placed on his shoulder and the left interlocked with his, they slowly began to move in rhythm with the music that was playing.

They moved with each other, just like the other guests were, but Adrik's face suddenly grimaced, and he hurriedly stared down to his feet, only to see Leia's feet on top of his. His lashes flickered in confusion, and he raised his eyes to gaze at her. "Little wife..." He stared at her with a bewildered expression on his face, patiently waiting for an explanation.

A smug expression emerged on Leia's face and she said, with a straight countenance, "If you don't want to disgrace the both of us, ignore it."

"Standing on my feet is not the problem, but you're heavy! You should lose some weight." Adrik's brow crinkled in displeasure, and he continued to dance with her on top of his feet.

Leia's lips parted in dumbstruck and her face darkened. "I think you're the one that needs to lose weight between the both of us!." She glared at him and wickedly matched his feet, causing Adrik's face to grimace a little in pain.. "Hey!" He glared at her and clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction.
