Pacita was briefed by Sigrid and Aliah in the carriage. Her ears are almost bleeding from nagging.
She finally arrived at the tea party.
At first she was prepared to be ignored but the ladies happily welcomed her.
'Suspicious.'
"You are so beautiful, duchess." Madam Jenny said.
"Yes. Thank you for noticing." Pacita smiles.
Everyone flinched but kept talking to her.
Pacita noticed there was wine prepared on a long table.
"I thought it's a tea party?" Pacita asks a server to pour her wine.
"Yes. But Viscountess Aristosa always tried her best to serve everyone their favorite. We heard…the Duchess likes wine." They all smiled.
Pacita nods, not caring about their tone.
"Duchess Pacita." Lady Mikaela walks near Pacita the moment she arrives. Standing beside her in a protective manner.
"Lady Mikaela is here. How are you? We heard Sir Sigrid is coming and going in the jewelry stores these days. Do you think you will get good news?" They teased.
"That…eh? Huh?" Mikaela blushes.
Pacita puts the wine glass on her lips and drinks the wine.
Everyone is having a good time but the hosts aren't here yet.
"Pacita, what do you think is happening? It seems Viscountess hasn't prepared any trap? Maybe she wants to befriend you instead of instigating?" Mikaela whispers.
"Who knows." Pacita shrugged her shoulders.
"Everyone, I'm sorry we are late. We just received good news and my daughter-in-law is expecting."
The Viscountess comes smiling happily.
Everyone became excited.
"Congratulations Viscountess. Congratulations Madam Mendy."
Viscountess sighs.
"The doctor said the first 3 months will be the
most fragile time so I want her to just rest but she keeps insisting to come."
"Mother, it's fine. I'll just be careful.Actually I wanted to meet the Duchess so much." Madam Mendy smiles.
"What is she up to?" Mikaela whispers.
"Why are you being wary? Maybe she really just wants to meet."
"She is too suspicious." Mikaela folded her arms.
"Lady Mikaela..Is it alright if I sit beside the Duchess? I really want to chat with her." Mendy said, rubbing her still flat stomach.
Mikaela pouts but moves.
"Hello Duchess." Lady Mendy smiles.
"Hello." Pacita puts the wine glass down.
"Congratulations."
"Yes. Thank you. I'm glad that you are not mad at me."
Lady Mendy said, rubbing her flat stomach.
"Mad me? Why would I be mad?" Pacita raised a brow.
Lady Mendy immediately became flustered.
"I'm sorry. It's just that I was thinking too much."
"Yeah you are." Pacita rolls her eyes.
