Falling For The Girl I Bullied
Chapter 174

Violet’s P.O.V.

“Wow… you are looking stunning, my love,” Mom exclaimed while looking at me in awe. I blushed and lowered my eyes shyly. “You always said this, Mom,” I said with a shy smile, and she shook her head immediately. “No, my love… I really mean it…. Let me take a picture of you. Send it to Kyle,” she said raising her phone. “Mom,” I yelled while lowering my head while blushing harder. “Violet…. Only one pose… I swear that I will not ask you for the second pic,” she insisted, still keeping her phone high in the air. I sighed and then looked up. I smiled lightly while looking at her phone.

“O My God…. You are looking so beautiful,” she exclaimed and came running to me. “See,” she showed me the picture and I smiled widely. I was really looking beautiful, but the dress was a bit revealing. It has a deep neckline with strips towards the shoulder. The dress was showing all my curves, making me look more beautiful. The stylist made a high bun, covering the bald area at the back of my head. “I am sending you the pic…. And also to Ethan and your father. They should also see how beautiful you are looking tonight,” she said while sending me the pic.

Suddenly, her phone started ringing in her hands. She immediately took the clutches from the table and gave my clutch to me. “Let’s go… it’s Nat,” she told me while ushering me. She picked up the call and put the phone on her ear while walking out of her room with me. “Yes, Nat… we have left for the venue,” she said to Mrs. Knight, making me shake my head once. I sent the pic to Kyle and smiled while looking at her. She lied straight through her teeth. “Yes.. yes.. we will be there soon,” she replied to her in a hurried tone.

“Yes… I took one… I am sending that to you,” she continued while descending the stairs with me. I really admired how swift and firm she was on her steps when she wore high heels. I was struggling to keep myself steady. “Yeah… yeah… we will take care of it. See you there,” she hung up after some time and took a deep breath. I smiled and lowered my eyes. “Your future mother-in-law is really overbearing sometimes,” mom complained, but I blushed harder when I heard that particular word.

“It’s not like that, mom,” I said in a low tone shyly. “O really?” she asked me in a curious tone. I tilted my head a little while looking at her this time. “She is…. You have to brace yourself up before marrying Kyle,” she continued while smiling lightly. “Do you really think that we will end up together?” I asked her in a low tone, having the same gaze at her. “Of course I do. You have more than twenty boys all around you all the time ever since the incident happened with you and Ethan. Still, you fell for him, and he fell harder for you. Your love for each other is deep,” she answered me and I took my lower l*p in between my teeth.

“I don’t think that any of you will be interested in anyone else than each other at any time in future. You two are perfect for each other, and also the trust that you two have in each other…… you will never feel so relaxed and loved with anyone else than Kyle, love,” she finished in a loving tone. “Thanks, Mom,” I said in a low tone and lowered my eyes again. I was overwhelmed now. We reached the car now. “No need to thank me, honey. This is what I feel for you two and truly wish for the same… now let’s go or else Nat will shoot both of us,” she said while patting my shoulder lightly, and I smiled again. I thanked God in my heart for giving me an opportunity to be near Mrs. Parker. She was the idol mother that every child could dream for himself.

We hopped in the back seat of the car. I heard a message tone, making me take my phone out of my clutch. I smiled when I saw that it was Kyle. I immediately opened the message, and saw a beating heart in reply, followed by a kissing emoji.

Kyle: You are looking truly beautiful, my love….. now I am regretting leaving you alone there…. (sad emoji)

I smiled while reading his last message. “Kyle?” I heard Mom asking me in a curious tone. I nodded while typing a reply to him.

Me: Come back soon… I really miss you…(kissing emoji)

I hit the send button and looked at Mom. I blushed harder when I saw her grinning from ear to ear. “Mom,” I exclaimed while lowering my head. She laughed while wrapping her hand around my shoulder. She rubbed my arm gently but didn’t say anything. The phone in my hand started ringing, and I saw Noah’s name on the screen. I picked up the call and put the phone on my ear. “Where are you?” he asked me as soon as the call connected. “We are on the way… have you reached there?” I asked him while telling him about my whereabouts.

“We all are here. Come soon,” he answered me in a light tone. Suddenly I remembered my father. I immediately looked back and saw my bodyguard’s car behind us. “Di… did you see him?” I asked him in a low tone. “No… not yet…. Let me ask other guys to look around. If we replace him before you reach here, I will tell Mrs. Knight,” he answered me. “Okay… I will be there in half an hour,” I replied to him before hanging up. At the same time, I got two more messages. I opened the app, and saw both Kyle and Ethan had sent a message to me. I opened Kyle’s message first.

Kyle: I miss you too, love… I will be there as soon as I finish my work here. Call me after coming back to home…(kissing emoji)

I smiled and replied to him first. “Do you think that Mr. Carter will approach you there tonight?” mom asked me in a low tone while rubbing my arm. “Yes, mom…. He is desperate, and this function is the right opportunity for him. I am sure that he will blend himself well in the crowd so that no one can recognize him easily,” I answered her truthfully while opening Ethan’s message. I huffed while reading his message.

Ethan: I told you that the dress is too revealing. You should have a jacket over this dress…(annoying emoji)

Mom chuckled while reading that message with me. I pouted while looking at her. “Give me your phone,” she said, and I gave my phone to her. She immediately raised the phone in the air, while pulling me closer to her. “Now give a seductive look,” she said and I widened my eyes in shock. “Mom!” I exclaimed in shock. “O, come on, love… this will be fun… now quick,” she encouraged me, and then looked back in the direction of my phone. I sighed while shaking my head helplessly. She was a real tease.

I posed nervously with her when she clicked another picture of us together and sent that to Ethan. “He will be on pins and needles until we go back home,” I said with a light chuckle. “That’s exactly what I want,” she chirped, making me laugh this time. She laughed with me. I heard a message tone again. I raised my hand to get my phone, but she refused to give it back to me. She took my clutch from my lap, and put the phone back in the clutch. “You are with me now. Don’t busy yourself with them. This is my time together with you,” she whined and I smiled widely. “Okay… I promise that I won’t check my phone again tonight,” I promised her and she grinned widely again.

“Okay… now let me tell you what you need to do in the function,” she said in a serious tone after that, and I nodded in agreement. She then told me about the aim of the function. I listened to her carefully while noting down the main points. I was nervous but confident at the same time. I had my mother, Mrs. Knight, and all the boys there to help me. She told me how to interact with other people also. I noted everything in my mind while nodding to her from time to time.

“Did you get my point, love?” she asked me in the end, and I nodded again. “Yes, mom… and don’t worry… I will be okay there,” I comforted her in the end.

The car stopped and the driver notified us that we reached the venue. “There will be paparazzi out there. They will click our photos. Don’t panic….. keep a small and confident smile on your lips, and stay close to me,” she instructed me in a calm and confident tone while rubbing my arm. “Okay, mom,” I answered her with a small smile on my lips. She took a deep breath before removing her hand from my shoulder. She got out of the car when the driver opened the door for her. She raised her hand towards me after getting off. My heart started beating furiously. I took a deep breath before taking her hand.

I exited the car, maintaining my posture. I immediately covered my eyes when suddenly flash lights fell on me. Mom didn’t say anything or took a step forward. She gave me the time to adjust myself. I hooked my hand to her arm, and slowly removed my hand from my eyes. I smiled lightly while looking around. To be honest, I was so nervous that I felt that I would fall down, but kept myself steady on my feet while walking forward with mom. “You are doing well, honey,” mom encouraged me in a low tone. My grip on her arm tightened but I didn’t say a word. We walked inside the venue where someone approached us.

Mom exchanged pleasantries with that woman. I guess she was the host. She also had an evening gown, and she was looking stunning. Mom introduced me to her, and she shook hands with me. I greeted her in a polite tone. She then asked us to join the others. I took a deep breath when mom walked inside the hall. “See…. How well you did?” mom said, still encouraging me. I smiled nervously. She put her hand on my hand. “I know that you are nervous, and this is natural, love. I was also nervous when I attended a social event with my mother for the first time,” she told me about her first experience while greeting everyone who met us in our way.

“O My God,” I looked in the other direction when I heard someone yelling aloud. I blushed harder but smiled widely when I saw Mrs. Knight coming towards me with Noah’s mother. “Mom,” I called her while bowing my head a little in front of her. “Look at you…. You are looking so beautiful, honey. Now I am anxious for my boy,” she praised me in a teasing tone, making me turn crimson red. I greeted Noah’s mother with a shy smile on my lips. She greeted me back and complimented me too.

“Violet…. Is…. Is that you?” I blushed again when I heard Noah’s voice filled with shock. “Yes, Noah… she is Violet,” His mother laughed with everyone. My eyes were now glued to the floor as I didn’t know how to look up at them. “O…. my ….. god,” he exclaimed in awe, making my heart skip a beat. “Violet,” someone screamed again, and now I was the centre of attention. What was wrong with these guys? They were screaming like banshees now.
