High School: Way to Forever

Chapter 169: Am I late?

Who can come here? Especially dinner with Elder Master of the Walker family? It must be a really special guest who is going to show up because not many people are allowed to have dinner with them.

But Anna did not know why, after hearing this, she had a bad feeling. There was if a knot in her stomach asking her to guard her walls well. Otherwise, it might break easily.

Anna felt a little uncomfortable as thought about sharing her special meal with someone unknown. Though Anna knew it was okay as in near future she has to meet many people around her but it was still new for her.

The walls around anger, coldness. She can not show her soft side to anyone except her father and mother.

They only know her real self. Showing others will be like giving them access to her downfall.

"Hmm, I understand. I will behave but if you can, try to find out who it is." she really wanted to know who was coming tonight.

"I listened that the person coming today is a family only. I can tell you this only. But if I get to know more then I will surely let you know." Liam faced her with a straight expression with her.

Liam turned around and was going to leave but then he heard Anna asking him, "Where is mum? Is she with you?" What Anna meant was if they both were staying in the same room.

Though Anna knew there was a very rare chance of this. She hates Liam a lot, not only for past mistakes but because he sleeps with Jenra. The guy who is touched by others while being in a marriage with Marrie only deserves her anger.

"She is in the next room." Was all that he said and left. Anna saw him leaving as his back faced her and just nodded.

Was he sad? Yes, he was because he wanted to spend some quality time with Marrie. But who will tell him that Marrie will never take the first step?

After all, she wronged.

'I hope that you clear everything dad. You use this time to your best. I just hope..'

..

Soon, it was time to have dinner with the elders.

In her room, Anna was wearing a white gown with a blue pattern on it. Borders were done with blue lace and it showed her perfect back. Along with it, the gown covered her coverage and her perfect legs.

Anna stared at herself in her mirror and smiled. The dress looked so good on her as if it was only made for her.

Maybe the dress was asking to be worn by Anna Walker.

Her hair was tie into a bun which made her slender white neck look more alluring. It was attractive as if asking someone to bite her. She wore normal, round silver earrings and applied a pink lib bam to keep her lips moist.

Taking a last look at her, Anna turned around and saw her back view. Though she felt it was more exposed but as there were only family members today, she did not mind it. Taking her blue clutch with it, Anna opened the door and went down where everyone was waiting for her.

Liam, as usual, was wearing formal attire with a tuxedo of black color and as expected of Mother Marrie, she did not match her dress with him at all. Paring her full sleeves red gown with a diamond earring.

"Good evening everyone." Anna greeted in a gentle manner. Both of her parents smiled and they went to another side by home.

Her grandparents lived there and as they arrived, they were escorted to the giant dining room by Elder's manager. No matter how much power Liam gain, Stan still held authority. But yes somewhere, Liam has more control over things now with the passage of time.

They stepped inside and saw Stan Walker and Sarah Walker sitting at the middle seat. It shows power.

"Greetings everyone." Anna bowed as she was told to do by Liam earlier. As a next heir, she can no longer behave as a loving child. As responsibilities were going to come on her shoulders, Anna now behaved as a true heir.

"Good Evening, Anna." Grandfather Walker said while there was a grin on his face. He was truly happy that all the members of his family are together today.

Mother Marrie went forward and kissed both of their hands to show her respect.

"May God bless you always, my child." Grandfather Walker did not show many emotions to Marrie but from inside, everyone knew he was happy that Marrie also came today.

That is another thing if Marrie never came to this ceremony, he would have gone personally to bring her here.

No matter how bad and how many mistakes Liam had committed, the place of his daughter in law is always reserved for Marrie. If he had got one option, he might have adopted Marrie as his child too.

While Sarah Walker stood up and gave Marrie a tight hug. "I missed my daughter so much."

"I missed you too, Mrs. Walker." Marrie formally answered. Though Sarah's walker was not pleased she held herself back. She knew they have hurt her a lot and even she came here was already an achievement for them. No one spoke to Liam even once but he did no care also.

Everyone took the seat. Marrie and Liam sat on one side of Elder Walkers and Anna sat alone on another side of Elder Walkers.

They all started talking. But then after a while, grandfather's secretary came and whispered something in his ear.

"Oh, we have a guest today. He is a family member of ours and he is here." Anna did not lift her eyes. Her eyes were still fixed on her plate.

Liam had already told her that a family member will come so she knew the person might be from the extended Walmer family.

But she experienced goosebumps when she heard a voice from behind,

"Am I late?"
