He managed a strained smile.
“Suddenly, I don't feel so happy anymore!” In front of the guests, he couldn't embarrass Mark. He quickly directed the servants to discreetly remove the conspicuous gifts.
Then, lowering his voice, he asked Edwin, “Have you lost your mind, young man?” Edwin's eyes sought Laura.
After a moment, he murmured, “I'm serious.” Peter worked to control his rising anger. Just then, Lina approached.
He shot her a piercing look.
She must have known all along and kept it from him! Lina responded with a cold scoff.
“The foolish one is you!” ANGELA'sLIBRARY Peter held back his anger and ushered the Evans family inside. As they passed by Laura, she stiffened, unable to meet Edwin's gaze.
Edwin remained silent, but as they brushed shoulders, his fingers lightly touched hers.
Laura bit her lip.
Meanwhile, Cecilia, oblivious to the situation, whispered to Mark, “Laura looks lovelier than before. You know so many people, Mark. You should find her a good match.” Mark replied with a hint of meaning, “I don't really know anyone more outstanding than our own son.” Cecilia, not understanding the implication, felt a surge of pride of her son.
She had brought up her children well.
Mark gazed at his wife's innocent look, his emotions a complex mix of affection and nostalgia. He loved her simplicity, a trait nurtured by his indulgence over the years.
Penney was sharp-witted.
She immediately picked up on the tension between Edwin and Laura.
