Chapter 15 Remorse

“Everyone, you might have questioned the reason we made this dinner today.”

He smiled, and while he waited to speak, the servant took a huge champagne bottle in.

“Happy anniversary, Seth and Leah. Yes, we didn’t forget that.” he smiled.

Dad had a little speech, and we all got a glass of champagne in our hands when he finished.

We all went to them to congratulate, except Alice. She was an outsider. She got her champagne as well, and she lifted it up together with us, but she didn’t drink, not even a sip.

“Well guys, I am more than happy, but I can’t drink, as I have to drive back home. Please forgive me.”

I said, but my mum looked at me in disbelief,

“Gideon, this is a family event. You can’t just drive away from here. We are all going to sleep in this house tonight, and there is no excuse.”

“But mum, you said that you are renovating half of the house, you have not enough space for all of us.”

Sloane said, and that just made mum angry a little.

“We have enough space, young lady. Everyone has a room to sleep in. Seth and Leah will share Seth’s bedroom. Ava will have a guest room. Gideon has his own room. Alice can share a bed with Lily in the servants quarter. Isn’t that simple?”

I closed my eyes for a minute. I didn’t want to admit I didn’t like the idea at all, so I nodded.

“Okay mum, so we are staying”

I had a secret look at Alice, but she was motionless, just like since we arrived. She didn’t care where she was going to sleep.
