Sharing Beatrice A Luna To Her Stepbrothers by Alexis Dee Book 3
Chapter 586 – Ready To Party (Beatrice)
“Oh no!” I sighed. Even though it was an amazing gesture, I didn’t want Ronnie to spend money on me. I’m the type who doesn’t like accepting gifts because then I feel obliged to return the favor, and my empty pocket doesn’t support that either. I intend to call Ronnie and ask him about the dress, maybe even thank him if I do plan to wear it. I showered and came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my body to call Ronnie. I had not been able to think about anything other than his great gesture.
“Hey! Morning. I tried calling you so much last day. I believe the whole incident really upset you,” he chattered the minute he picked up my call. He had indeed texted me a lot. But after I returned home and had the whole encounter with the owner, I didn’t get to use my phone. And then the whole mess with Helen happened, which I didn’t even want to recall because of how awkward it made me feel.
“I’m sorry about that. I shouldn’t have left like that, but I hope you understand it was becoming really difficult for me to stand there and let them bully me,” I hissed at the reminder of Ballinda and Maddox.
“No! I understand. Even I’m surprised how they acted with you,” thankfully, he wasn’t hard to communicate with.

“By the way, you didn’t have to,” I uttered, biting my bottom lip shyly. “I didn’t have to do what?” he asked in a soft tone.
“The dress you sent me. I like it but I cannot accept it. It’s very costly and I cannot return the favor,” I mumbled in an undertone, feeling ashamed for being so helpless that he paid so much for a dress for me.
“What dress? I never sent anything,” the minute he said that, my throat turned dry.
I hastily reached the box while the phone was still sticking to my ear and noticed that there was a note that I didn’t see when tearing apart the packaging. ‘I’m sorry for my behavior. It was childish and rude. But I do hope you will accept my apology and accept this dress. I think it’s made perfectly for you. Hope to see you at the party tonight, Maddox!’ “Beatrice! Are you there?” Ronnie pulled me out of my thoughts, but I still didn’t get why Maddox was sending me a dress.
“Yeah! Umm, I’m fine,” I uttered, confused by what he had asked me.
“I’m glad you are fine. But what dress were you talking about?” he inquired in a suspicious tone.
“Nothing. I just woke up, and I guess I need to shake off the sleep first. I’ll call you in an hour,” I hung up the call because I felt like a fool for instantly thinking he sent me this dress.
However, I still couldn’t fathom why Maddox went out of his way to get me this dress and apologize. He wasn’t the type to even feel guilty about it. I still didn’t have a dress, and I had to go to the party with Ronnie. But I wasn’t sure if wearing that dress would be a great idea.
“So, who was the package from?” my mom asked when I walked downstairs with the dress in my hand.
“Oh! Is this what the package had?” my mother’s eyes shone as she quickly cleaned her hands to come check the dress.
“Yup!” I handed it over to her and sat down to start eating. I watched her smile as she liked it and then carefully placed it on the couch and returned to have breakfast with me.
“Who was it from? It seems expensive,” she inquired.
“From Maddox!” I uttered and watched my father’s face form a frown.
“That’s the Mayor’s second set of twins,” she uttered in shock.
“Yeah,” I replied, trying to avoid the deep discussion around why he was sending me such expensive gifts.
“Do I need to spill it out or are you going to get the idea from my face that I want to know why?” my mother tilted her head and stabbed the omelet in her plate when asking me that question.
“I went shopping with Ronnie yesterday, and Maddox was there. Somewhere along the line, that a*sshole started to bully me. I left without buying anything. So this dress was his way of apologizing and inviting me to the evening party,” I yammered in one breath, and now it was on my mother to respond.
“Beatrice! That was actually nice of him to acknowledge his mistake and apologize. I think you should wear that dress and attend the party. Ronnie will be there, so you shall be fine,” of course, my mother didn’t know how much they bully me. In her mind, we got into some arguments after he maybe made a joke or two, and then he apologized.
“You think so? Don’t you think maybe he is planning something bigger to make my life miserable?” as I asked my mom that question, she started laughing. “What?”
“Beatrice! You guys are adults. What do you mean by he is planning something big? I think it is a kind gesture, and you should wear the dress. Besides, you have to wear something nice for the evening, and you have not bought anything so far,” she was probably right. Maybe Maddox realized he was wrong for acting like a child and decided to mend his ways.
“Fine. I will wear it,” after giving her a cheeky smile, I left for my bedroom to start getting ready. My hair took most of my time. I always feel troubled when styling them. For tonight, I have decided to style them into big curls and let them loose all over my back and shoulders.
“Wow! Look at you, you look stunning,” her compliment was genuine, and so was the smile on her l*ips. I held her hand and walked carefully as the dress was a bit too much for me. And with the high heels, it was like a disaster waiting to happen. “Ronnie is downstairs, I will go see him,” I waved my hand at my mother and left my apartment with a huge smile on my l*ips. I was so ready for the night.
