At exactly 6PM, Amanda, dressed in her best red, body hugging dress that took her a lot of effort to prepare, left with her mom to the hotel where the engagement will take place.
She had done her own makeup because she is used to it given the nature of her job.
She is Val's assistant and she is used to putting make up on her when she goes to film.
Her mom had also dressed to kill. The daughter and mother duo walked hand in hand to the hotel.
Reaching the hotel, there were so many unfamiliar faces but Amanda guessed that they were William's family friends and some of her dads.
When people saw her at the entrance, they gave her strange gazes. Amanda was nervous but she still kept her cool on the outside. Head held high, she walked towards the William's family with a bright and innocent smile on her face.
"Hello grandpa, grandma, Auntie, uncle." Amanda greeted them politely, that sweet smile never leaving her face.
The family nodded and smiled at her, but their smiles did not reach their eyes, only grandma Catherine was enthusiastic as she held her hand.
Jason's grandmother has always been fond of Amanda and treated her like her own granddaughter. And because of her closeness to Amanda, she was left out in the dark about the whole plan of Val and Jason getting engaged.
"Hey my darling, you grow beautiful with each passing day, look at you, I know my grandson will be pleased to see you again."
Amanda blushed as she was teased by grandma Catherine. "Grandma, can you stop teasing me, you know I'm always shy when hearing those words."
"Hehe, how will you feel when you see Jason after five years, and look at how you are glowing, its like you have walked right out of an ancient painting." Grandma said with a big grin on her face.
"Grandma....." Amanda could not take it anymore.
"Okay dear, I will stop teasing you now, I hope you will be happy from today onwards." Grandma gave her her blessings.
Seeing their interaction, Liz just sneered and wondered how they will react once they found out the truth. Sorry mother but we had to do this. I can't let my son marry such a lose woman.
***
Being the sensitive woman she was, Evelyn, Amanda's mom could sense that something was not right. She tried to talk to Liz but she seemed to be uninterested.
But it is not the first time, after her divorce, the two started growing apart and Evelyne could not tell what really went wrong with their long lasting friendship.
She stopped trying when she saw that Liz's expression was not right. She had some doubts but she kept it to herself. Today was one of the best days in her daughter's life and she did not want to ruin the mood.
