Chapter 1644 – Cuddles
“Yes.” Angelica was inexplicably nervous in case she refused.
“I see.”
Livia’s answer remained cold, and Angelica, feeling as if she had very little of her enthusiasm poured out of her, half-closed her lips before cautiously inquiring.
“Livia, so you want to come?”
She was ready to hear a negative answer, when suddenly Livia agreed.
“Well, I’ll be there, calm down.”
This answer surprised Angelica and she immediately got out of bed.
“Really? You’re really going to come?”
“Of course. How can I skip a friend’s coming of age celebration? When to come?
“Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow can you? I want to have time to order a dress for you from the designer.
There was a long silence before she replied, “I’m afraid I can’t do that, I’m very busy lately, I’ll come on the day of your celebration.”
“Ah, okay then!”
Although Angelica was a bit disappointed that her friend would not be able to help her with the party arrangements, but she was glad that Livia agreed to come. After finishing the conversation, she called the stylist and, informing her of Livia’s height and weight, asked her to prepare a dress for her as well. The seamstress agreed without question, and Angelica happily removed the phone.
Later that evening, Michela and Genara wrote to her on Facebook asking if she could come to her party.
She did not want to invite them at all because she felt their insincerity toward her. Doubtful, Angelica decided to ask her mother for advice.
– Invite them, so they won’t say anything bad to your classmates about you later. In any case, there will be many people at the banquet, there they surely won’t be able to do anything unpleasant to you, Fiona advised, patting her daughter on the head.
However, she understood the exact reason why they wanted to attend their daughter’s birthday party. They knew that Angelica’s parents were very influential people, so they wanted to make the right acquaintances during the party. Although the Rossi family was not the richest in town, like Cristian and Serena’s family, however, they also occupied a rather high position in society. Moreover, due to the children’s friendship, the two families were closely related to each other. It was believed that the northern city had three of the richest families. The Reds ranked third after the Ferraris and the Jordans, so everyone around them envied them.
“It’s okay mom.”
Angelica then accepted Genara and Michela’s request.
The two responded with their purpose and gave Angelica many more kind words, ending with a promise that they would buy her a birthday present that day and so on.
Angelica did not say much more.
She put down the phone and squeezed her cheeks as she looked into the darkness outside the window.
There was only one reason she waited so long for her coming of age. Manuel promised her that they would discuss their future together with her, but only after she was eighteen. Now that she is finally an adult, he will not be able to reject her because of her age.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Time flew by and the designer had both dresses designed and brought them to Angelica to try on.
The dresses were tried on. After the body, the stylist looked at the little girl standing in front of her and couldn’t help but exclaim, “It’s so beautiful, and you’ve held up well these past few days, this dress is just right, there are still two days left for the party, so you have to keep the weight even in these two days haha.”
“Okay.”
Angelica nodded, “I will keep it up.”
She wanted to meet her 18-year-old self in her best shape so that she could control herself easily.
“By the way, didn’t your friend come to try on this dress?” she said.
“Ah, she probably won’t make it, she won’t come until my birthday.”
The designer nodded, “Well then, I thought I could try it on and change anything that didn’t fit, luckily I added the straps so that if your friend is too skinny by then and it fits too loose, it will be gathered at the waist back here.”
Angelica smiled sweetly as she took a closer look at the dress the designer had prepared.
“It looks great, thank you.”
After making sure the dresses were in place, Angelica hung them together in the closet, sprayed some of her favorite perfumes on them, and then closed the door. Then she sent a message to Livia.
“Livia, I received the dress the designer made for you today oh, why couldn’t you come to the club to try it on, so the designer made you a tie belt design in a beautiful color and style, it will look great on you.”
After a long wait, Livia did not answer.
Holding the phone in her hands, she began scrolling through their correspondence. All recent reports were just from her, as they had become very distant from each other over the past year. Reportedly, it was evident how much Angelica was trying to initiate conversation, but the reply messages contained only a few indifferent and short words.
She felt like she was guessing at something, but she didn’t want to believe it.
After all, they had been friends for so many years and almost never quarreled. Angelica continued to convince herself that it was only because Livia had become so busy. She believed that when she had more free time, their relationship would be destined to be as good as before. Angelica understood that in this way she was only entertaining empty hopes, but she did not want to give up her long-term friendship so easily, and she still believed in her friend.
Angelica was looking forward to her 18th birthday, and now, finally, this day has arrived. Last night, Lea came specially to visit them to spend the night with Angelica. She would follow her throughout the party and wanted to dress just like her.
Angelica corrected her, ” Lea, but you are still small.”
“So what? I want to experience everything in advance. Anyway, I’m going to be eighteen soon too! Lea persuaded her. – Please, Angelica. Can I do it too?
“Lea, I think you’d better ask your parents’ permission. However, this is a very serious matter, it is better not …”
” I would rather ask permission from my older brother’s future wife. Angelica, can I be at your party for a while? I promise not to show up during the official part.
“You, what did you just call me?” Angelica asked in embarrassment.
“My brother’s wife! Lea embraced her with a smile, happy that their destinies would soon be so closely intertwined. I did not call you that before because you were not yet eighteen. And now I can. Don’t you love Manuel?
Angelica: “Who…. Who told you that?
– Don’t you really love him?
Angelica: “…”
But my brother is so good. If you are not in love with him, then who? Lea asked with a sad face.
Look, you shouldn’t ask such questions. Yes, I am in love with your brother, and what’s next? Don’t think I will accept your request since you called me your brother’s wife.
