[ Chapter 23 : Surprises & Gifts ]

Y/n's pov.   

" It's so early " I yawn and Jemma brushes my hair.

" Earlier than school hours " I said.

" This is your first breakfast with your family, you have to have a good impression " she said.

It's the next day and I was woken up by Jemma, apparently this is the hours of them waking up everyday, I'm not bothered by it but what bothers me is they help me take a bath. I mean I could've taken my own bath but they insisted and start scrubbing me in the places only I've touch, they also put in some kind of salt in the water saying it good for the skin and all.

I feel violated but at least I feel clean in some way.

" I think I already made a bad impression when I met aunt Talia, she was already rolling her punches just because I'm an illegitimate child " I said.

" Don't say that miss, although it's true, both parents are noble and you have noble blood " she said.

" I guess so " I said and look down at my owl bracelet.

" Other than that, your twin brothers are coming home today, they'll arrive after breakfast " she said.

" I have never seen the lynx cat anywhere since I arrived, have any idea here it could be? " I asked.

" The cat is actually in the garden where she stays while Elliot is away " she said.

" What's her name? " I asked.

" Lulu " she said, I chuckle.

" That's a cute name " I said and she finishes up doing my hair.

" Also, after your practice today, I was thinking you might like to hangout with the girls like they always do " she said.

" A definite no " I said.

" Why is that? " She asked and I stand up from my seat as I adjust my outfit.

" Have you been in that room yesterday?, It was mostly Tessa being a bitch and eating, Paige who's clearly spoiled and then Malia who doesn't really talk much " I said and walk up to the mirror as I see she's done my hair wonderfully again.

" Miss Malia has always suppressed her feelings to herself and a little introvert, but she is talented in her own way with embroidery " she said.

" Really?, What was she working on yesterday? " I asked.

" That's just a simple handkerchief she likes to make with different designs and give out to people, I have one of my own " she takes out a handkerchief as I turn around to her.

It's a pink fabric and I see two love birds sown beautifully onto it.

" Wow, if I try that, I'd been poking my finger by the time I touch a needle " I said and she chuckles as she put it away in her skirt pocket.

" You haven't seen the tapestry she's been working on " she said.

" Tapestry?, For what? " I asked.

" Oh right, you haven't known, Madam L/n's birthday is coming up next week, Malia has been making a tapestry as a gift, I've seen half of the process, it's beautiful " she said.

" Grandma's birthday is coming up? " I asked, she nods.

" What about Paige and Tessa, do they have a gift for her? " I asked, she nods.

" Tessa has been secretly ordering delicacies that Madam L/n has not tasted yet, as for Paige, I haven't seen what she got for her but as far as I know she's planning a big surprise " she said.
