General

The driver drove into a mansion painted in white and silver colour,it looks so dreamy with the orange rays from the setting sun and vast collection of green,beautiful and colourful plants that were blooming in the dusk adding to the buildingd heavenly look.
Zuriel fell in love with the surrounding immediately she set her eyes on the ornamental plants,who doesn't like good things?,unlike the house in London this seems to have more plants though it is equally beautiful.
She couldn't help but gasp at the beauty of the place.
She walked out when a middle age servant with bald head in a brown uniform opened the door for her .

"Tu es la bienvenue ma" the servant said and with a smile she nodded.

While some other servants pulled out their boxes the followed the lead of the bald head servant toward the entrance of the house.

"Oh my God is this my little Arthur of yesterday" a slightly plumb woman said in a thick French accent,as she walked forward and began to pull Miles cheeks with her hands.

"Aunty am not a kid anymore as you can see" Myles said giving his aunt a disapproving as he gently pushed his aunts hands away.

"You can never grow too old to not be your mothers child,bèbè, she responded using her hands to twirl Miles around to observe him ignoring his disapproving look,Zuriel couldn't help but smile at this.

"Aunt that's enough" Miles said with a firm tone refusing to be twirled any further.

"You've grown well, it just bad that all my children have grown so tall that they are now looking at the centre of my head when I stand close to them depriving the opportunity to knock them on the head when they misbehave" hmmf she sighed taking few steps away and standing at akimbo in front of Myles.
For a minutes the two stood quiet staring at each other while Zuriel gaze from one person to another continuously in confusion.

"That's enough aunt" Myles said shuffling his feet.
His aunt walked forward and wrap her fat hands around her nephew in a bear hug with her head on his chest while Miles cringe in discomfort.

"I can't believe gone are those days when I have to spank you kids and keep you grounded for days,my children have become adults and even married, even 18 year old Louis is now telling me that he's no more a kid,he is now busy with college and friends that he doesn't have time for me again, I can't believe you all have grown up so quickly to become men and women" she said her jovial voice gone and now replaced by a hoarse one as tears stream down her wrinkled face.

"That's enough aunt" Myles said in a calm soothing tone patting his aunt on her back surprising Zuriel because that was the first time she had heard his voice so calm while he spoke.
She pulled away and sniff.

"Wow is she .....?" his aunt began wiping away her tears as she moved her attention to Zuriel.

"Yes she is" Myles said cutting his aunt mid sentence,and his aunt took a step towards her and Zuriel smiled nervously.

"She's so young and pretty" his aunt commented causing Zuriel to blush furiously.
"What's her name?" She demanded.

"She's right in front of you ask her" Miles said his rude tone back again.

"How can you be so rude,won't you introduce me to her?" His aunt demanded but he silently walked away.
"Sweetheart what's your name?" She said turning to Zuriel.

With a smile she struggled unsuccessfully with the half eaten snacks on her hands and pulling her pad from her back, while her aunty- in-law stared at her with a questionable look on her face. When she thought she was finally succeeding the yogurt on her hand drop and the content emptied on the black shiny tiles, if embarrassment could kill she would have died that instant without another second ticking by. With a sorry look on her face she looked at the fifty year plus Lady in front of her and mistakenly her eyes caught Mile's at one corner of the room on one of the milk coloured couches the death glare he gave her makes her want to melt into the ground.
