Pleasuring the Maid novel Chapter 41

***Third Person's POV***

'Oh my! that necklace is amazingly beautiful honey! ' Eve gushed in happiness, rushing to her daughter to embrace her.

'And you look even more dashing with the jewel around your neck! ' Renata jumped right in the conversation, hugging Ava too.

'You're crowding her personal space women. ' Reynard chuckled, calling the two women back to the dining table.

'Congratulations Ava, my sons know how to choose. ' Reynard added, throwing a nod to Ava.

'Na ah..correction Mr Reynard, your former sons. ' Ray spoke to his father.

'Only on paper Ray, you are still my children. All of you. ' Reynard smiled at his son.

'Mums and dad. ' Ava called out to the adults.

'This here(she placed her right hand on top of the necklace), is a promise necklace. '

'I'm so happy my child, it should have been an engagement ring though!' Renata pouted.

'Stop pouting Ren, they will exchange vows in good time. ' Reynard addressed his wife.

'Please excuse us, our day has been a long one. ' Bryson finally let his voice filter through the dining room.

'Oh son, was beginning to think that you had become mute. ' Renata teased her son, smiling at him lovingly.

Every single face in that room lit up in joy. The beaming and broad smiles exuded a lighthearted feeling. Their faces glowed, the eyes sparkling with visible happiness.

Everyone was finally happy and sated with the way things were unfolding. Nothing could go wrong at that time.

'Actually Bryson, you have to stay for a few minutes. ' Reynard words stopped the three lovebirds from retreating to their room.

'Uum what do you mean we can't go rest now? ' Ray was quite confused.

'Oh come on, we all know you'll not be resting till wee hours, you'll be going at it like bunnies in...'

'Oh my God mum stop it! ' Ava cut her mum off the statement, stopping her from using the unfiltered words any longer.

'Eve! that was quite...' Reynard scratched his head in mortification.

'Don't shy off big man, anyway Ava, your grand parents are on their way as we speak. ' Renata broke the news to Ava.

'What! ' Ava exclaimed.

'Yes what? ' Both boyfriends asked.

'Listen, they've been wanting to meet you for the last two years. Would you at least let them say whatever they want to...Please honey? ' The young woman's mum begged.

A very uncomfortable silence followed, every pair of eyes looking at Ava, waiting for her to give out her answer. Just as she was about to answer, the door bell rang.

'That must be them, I'll get it. ' Eve excused herself, leaving Ava in a dilemma of some sort.

'Princess, you don't have to see them you don't want to. You owe them nothing beautiful. ' Ray talked to his girlfriend.

'No Ray, I want to do this. The sooner the better. ' Ava assured Ray.

She then walked towards the living room, her steps urgent. There, her eyes cast a glance upon her grandparents.

She stopped in an instant, her face blank, giving away no emotion. Her grandparents stood in shock, surprise happiness and shame.

They couldn't believe how beautiful their granddaughter had become. In a distant, Ava's boyfriend, her mother, Eve and Reynard watched as the two parties stood unmoving.

'I'm so sorry my gran child. ' Her grandmother sobbed, finding it difficult to keep her emotions in check.
