Julius's POV

"Julius is here! "

I heard a familiar voice announce as we walked into the house after the door was opened by one of the maids.

I kept my eyes trained on Vera as I noticed she visibly tensed seeing everyone.
I placed my hand on the small of her back keeping her close to me.

We walked further in and mum was the first to come give me a hug.

"How are you sweetheart? "

"I'm good mum"

"Of course you're good.
When Vera is with you
You'll always be fine

My my Vera this dress looks so good on you"

Vera smiled sweetly at mum but I could still see the nervousness on her face

"Julius can't even keep his eyes off her"

I looked to the source of the voices to see my two aunts walking over to us along with grandma

"nonna"
I embraced my grandma

"How are you my dear? "

"I'm doing great nonna"

She looked to Vera who was talking with mum and the rest of my aunts

"She's your wife? "

Vera's dove eyes stared at us like she was begging nonna to say something and relieve her of her fear

"Yes nonn-"

"She's so beautiful"
Nonna cut me short taking Vera's hands in hers
"Big hips
Great for child birth

Slender figure"

"buona giornata nonnina"(Italian)
Good day granny

" and she's smart too.

No wonder Julius is so in love "

I blinked down at granny

"It's as clear as day.
She's the full package

Violet why don't you look for a wife for Uzziah and Denzell.

You have such good taste"

"Thank you mother"

I couldn't help the smile that crept unto my face when I saw Vera's smile.

Granny took Vera to sit down and all the while they talked she kept staring at me with a smile that brightened her face.

"Hey coz"
I looked to see Uzziah beside me.
We exchanged hugs patting each other at the back

"How have you been Uzziah? "

"I'm okay
Still single"

We chucked.
Uzziah wasn't your typical guy.
He was good looking and made girls trip over him but he had a long record as a player. His mother didn't like that so she made sure all the girls he played around with could never be found by him as she has been looking for a wife for him.
She didn't need one of them coming to spoil her plans

She even asked mum for help

"If you weren't such a player
You won't be single "

"It's not my fault that I know how to appreciate a woman"

I raised a brow at him and he chuckled.
He grew silent for a while looking beside me and I trailed his eyes to Vera who stood beside me staring at Uzziah

"Hey doll.
Did you have fun? "

"Rather not say"
Her cheeks were bright pink and I could only wonder what grandma talked to her about
