Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

Chapter 0008 25 BONUS Chapter 0008 Ella POV As we were heading into the building , I heard someone call my name .

I turned around to find my parents walking toward us .

Not far behind them were Davids parents and even Amandas family with all of her siblings .

It seemed this opening was a far bigger event than I had realized .

We now had quite a large group heading in to check out the shopping center together , but I couldnt have been happier .

I wanted to savor this time with my parents since had a chance to do things over and keep my good relationship with them .

Amanda seemed more than a little annoyed that her siblings were here , which I found funny .

She always seemed so jealous that I was an only child ; she often made comments about how lucky I was to have so much attention .

She had two older brothers , an older sister , and a younger sister , and Im sure it did make her feel terrible to get lost in the mix sometimes .

But Amanda was spoiled in her own way I just dont think she realized it .

Maybe if she did , things would have been different .

We headed inside and started making our way through the dothing stores there were a lot of them .

As I was walking around the racks , running my hand along some of the clothes to see if anything caught my eye , my father asked , What exactly are we looking for ? I want something to wear to the council meeting , I said .

My fathers face lit up with that proud smile again .

Youre coming to the meeting ? he said in surprise .

I nodded .

It seems very important to you , and feel like now that Im engaged , its important for me to start taking my duties more seriously .

My mother and father exchanged a look , and I could tell this was something they had been discussing between themselves .

My mother looked just as surprised as my father was .

I found it a little funny but also sad that I couldnt talk to them about how much I had learned in the time since I married David .

None of that had happened for them they would think I was crazy if I started talking about things that would happen in the future and things that , hopefully could stop from happening .

I just had to pretend like nothing strange was going on and do my best not to waste this second chance .

We didnt find anything in the first store , so we went to another .

Amanda was making an effort to stay away from- her siblings , who seemed intent on either talking her ear off or teasing her .

She looked absolutely furious about it , and I kept catching David glancing at her sympathetically .

By the time we were heading into the third store , I could see that Amanda was completely agitated her face was beginning to turn red from her anger .

I didnt want her to cause a scene , so I approached her siblings and smiled at her oldest sister .

If there was one thing I knew about her family , it was that her siblings were always hungry .

If anyone ever commented on it , Amanda would just smirk and say they were lucky enough to have high metabolisms .

hear the food court here is amazing .

I said .

I am angry , the replied , looking over her shoulder at h brothers .

Should we take a break and get some food ? * Heck yeah ! they said in unison +25 BONUS Chapter Gods Ive barely eaten all day , their younger sister added .

Amanda rolled her eyes at all of them .

Go on ahead , she said .

Ill meet up with you later .

Without argument , all of her siblings hurried off toward the smell of popcorn and pretzels .

Amanda took a deep breath and , looking at me reluctantly , ald , Thanks .

No problem , I replied .

After all , I need you to be able to focus on helping me find the perfect dress , right ? She smirked a little and nodded .

Absolutely .

With that out of the way , we headed into the third store .

I had a good feeling about this one the colors I could see on the racks were a little less flashy , and it seemed there were more business casual outfits .

Hopefully , I would be able to find something appropriate .

So boring .

Amanda said as we walked by a rack of pantsuits .

I paused and started to flip through the jackets thoughtfully .

They werent boring ; I actually thought the cut was very stylish while still being business- appropriate .
