A Naive Bride for the Sophisticated CEO novel Chapter 66

The Parker’s mansion was lit up by colorful fluorescent lights, accompanied with beautiful flowers and balloons.

In the living room, the couches were gone and it was a free space for everyone. There were about eight cocktail tables covered in white fabrics present. In the middle of these tables were small, pretty rose flower vases.

These tables were arranged not too far from each other so that there could be enough space for about five dining tables, which could accommodate at most five guests.

In front of the hung flat Tv screen was a huge and gorgeously designed five-tier birthday cake.

A solemn music was playing in the background, and guests were beginning to arrive.

Penelope arrived at the mansion fully dressed and her eyes widened at the side of the interior beauty of the living room.

“Oh God. Who could have thought that your living room would be this spacious?” Penelope said to James, who was dressed in a red Tuxedo.

His hair was rearranged in a more stylish way, making him look more handsome.

“The couches took so much space. Welcome, Mrs. Penelope. The ladies are preparing in the room. I need to start attending to the guests.”

Penelope bounced her head happily and headed up the stairs to the room where Elena and Amelia were seated. She got into the room and met the makeup artists busy on Elena’s and Amelia’s faces.

“Hey babies!” Penelope greeted in excitement, and the sisters exchanged looks. They looked at Penelope and smiled.

“Welcome back, Mom. I thought you weren’t going to attend.” Elena uttered.

“What? Why would I? I have always dreamt of this day. I would be a fool not to attend.” She said and walked to the other side where Amelia was.

“Hi, Mrs. Penelope.” Amelia uttered, and Penelope heaved a loud sigh and placed her hand on Amelia’s shoulders.

“Mrs. Penelope? When will you start calling me mother? You keep making me feel like I’m a stranger.”

“I’m sorry, Mrs. Penelope, but I’m not used to that yet. I believe with time, I’d get used to it. But for now, please bear with me.”

“Haaa… it’s fine, okay? I need to apologize to you, Amelia. I let my anger take the best of me. I shouldn’t have said those harsh things to you. You did the right thing, and I’m so sorry.”

Amelia smiled and shook her head. “I understand how you felt that day. I can’t be angry because of that. I totally understand you, Ma’am.”

“So we are good now?” She inquired in excitement, and Amelia bounced her head.

“Yes, we are. I thought we would never get to talk again since you didn’t reach out to me until today.”

“Well, let me answer that for her. She was too scared to face you, and that is why she kept sending me here to plan this party and see how you are doing. She isn’t as brave as you think she is.” Elena butted in, and Amelia chuckled.

“That is quite cute.” She stated.

“Can I ask for a favor from you, Amelia?”

“What?” Amelia asked, looking at Penelope.

“Can you please find time to go and check on Hopper? I went to visit him and he said he would love to see you sometime. Freddie said the same thing. Can you please find time to see them?”

Amelia exhaled and bobbed. “I would try to find time to see them. Don’t worry, Mrs. Penelope.”

“Thank you! So…” she sprang to her feet and clapped her hands. “I’ll step outside and attend to the guests with James. He shouldn’t be doing that alone.”

“Alright, Mom.” Elena responded and looked at her until she was out of the room.

“Amelia.” Elena called and she turned to look at her.

“Yes?”

“Are you sure you have forgiven Mom? I mean, I know what she said and did was outrageous, but please try to understand her.”

“I understand her, Elena. And you don’t have to worry, we are fine now. I promise.”

“Thank you so much.” Elena stretched her hand and touched Amelia’s thighs, while they smiled at each other.

“Mr. And Mrs. Parker, welcome.” Penelope said to Charles and Helen as they walked into the house.

“Wow! This place looks amazing! Who the hell decorated this?!” Helen exclaimed, looking around in awe.

“All thanks to James. He provided the designers I believe.”

“Wow! That’s really…”
