"Do you think I can convince Owen's mother about Evelyn?" Nicholas asks while taking my hand in his own. We are on our way to Evelyn and Owen's place where the dinner will take place. But today Nicholas is not driving the car, instead his driver is on duty today.

"I am sure you can. Both you and Evelyn have been brought up like any other middle-class children and both of you know the importance of family as well as money. I think Owen's mother is just a little insecure which we will surely be able to get past." I reply smiling at him.

He doesn't say anything in response just nods his head. I put my head on his biceps to rest as he has told me that it will take a few more minutes to reach there. I feel him kiss the top of my head making me smile shyly.

"We are here." I hear David informs.

"You wait." Nicholas says to me and goes out of the car before opening the door for me to get out.

I hold his hand as we make our way towards the two-story house which is very modern looking. I have never been here so I am feeling a little nervous. Also, I may have assured Nicholas that Owen's mother will understand Evelyn but if anything goes wrong then I won't be able to forgive myself.

Nicholas rings the bell while I squeeze his hand. The door gets open by Owen who welcomes us inside. I look around the interior of the house and find myself smiling when I catch the sight of many photo frames of Evelyn and Owen on the walls.

"Thank God, you are here." Evelyn says as soon as she sees me before hurrying to give me a hug.

"How are you doing?" I ask worriedly because she is not looking good.

"Bro, I am going to steal your girlfriend because I have a lot to talk to her." Evelyn says making both I and Nicholas look at her with wide eyes.

"Don't be so shocked guys. The tabloids are full of news about both of you being in a relationship." Owen comments with a cheeky smile. I am sure my whole face is red by now so I just glare at him playfully before following Evelyn to the kitchen.

"Now, tell me what you want to talk." I say looking at her.

"Is it true that you and bro in a relationship?" Evelyn asks making me sigh.

"Yes, it's true. Actually, it wasn't true at first but then Nicholas asked me to be his girlfriend and I said yes because I feel like I can give him a chance." I reply truthfully.

"I am really happy that you have given him a chance because you deserve to be loved and I know that he will definitely do his best to keep you happy. By the way, may I know what do you mean by the news wasn't true at first?" She says.

"I went to meet Jacob yesterday and when I was coming out of the cafe I encountered my ex-husband along with his friends. He started talking about Nicholas being my boyfriend and out of anger I accepted it. I think he is the one to spread the rumor but in the end, Nicholas really asked me to be his girlfriend." I explain shortly not going into much detail.
