Mum: Your wedding is in 3 days. When are you going shopping? Will Gabriel accompany you?

Iris: Gabriel's going to work mum. Ivy will accompany me. Right? I pouted

Ivy: Sure..

Iris: I quickly eat breakfast and hurried to the room.

Ivy: Uhmm.. Can I say something?

Iris: I'm listening.

Ivy: Gabriel has a son right?

Iris: Yeah.

Ivy: What happened to his mum?

Iris: Uhmm..Gabriel said she left immediately she gave birth to Daniel. I don't know why though.

Ivy: Ohhh..it's sad Daniel grew up without a mum by his side. I can't imagine my life without mum.

Iris: What's your point ivy? Rolls eyes

Ivy: I Just want you to care for Daniel. And I'm sure he'll call you mum sooner than expected.

Iris: laughs Do you think I care if the brat addresses me as his mum?

Ivy: iris!!! He's a child!

Iris: Rolls eyes Can you end this discussion?

Uhmm..you carried a big suitcase. Do you plan on relocating here?

Ivy: a frown appeared on my face. Yeah I am. But don't tell mum. I'll tell her soon.

Iris: Why? What about your teaching job? And your boyfriend?

Ivy: Nothing. I quit my job and my boyfriend broke up with me

Iris: Really? I'm sorry. I've told you multiple times not to depend on one man. Now look what it cost you. I can remember how you suffered to help him.

Ivy: I don't do multiple men iris! Have some dignity.

Iris: Lol. Well..I'm the one who's engaged and you're not.

Ivy: You don't have to insult me

Iris: Okay..I'm sorry. Give me the address of the fool!! I'll send boys to him.

Ivy: laughs

Iris: let's go shopping. I look in my wardrobe and pick out sweatpants

while ivy wears a short gown.
