Pearl held his hand and emphasized, "I admit that he was once important to me in my youth. But astime passed, my feelings changed. I've chosen to be with you. My heart belongs to you, now andforever."
Richard found her statement much more romantic than that bitter poem. He was touched, evenconsidering recording her words for future generations, perhaps as a romantic keepsake betweenthem.novelbin
"Alright, let's not dwell on it anymore. You've already assured me." His heart softened as he gentlystroked her hair. "I'm sure Mom has finished cooking, and everyone's home. Let's go down andhave dinner."
Pearl, despite having just relaxed, felt nervous again. She wasn't just a friend's daughter anymore;she was now a member of the Waldorf family. She worried about potential unexpected situations.
Lost in her thoughts, she slowed her pace.
"Don't be nervous." Richard squeezed her hand. "You have me."
As they descended the stairs, they found all the Waldorfs at home.
Sean, although occasional in his visits, wasn't around today due to his strict schedule set by hisbiological father, who intended to train him to inherit the family property.
Hanzel was present, accompanied by Feather, who seemed uncomfortable and trapped. It wasclear Hanzel had dragged her here against her will.
Mobius, having experienced heartbreak, appeared more subdued than before, displaying anewfound maturity.
Dustan, seldom seen at dinner, smiled warmly at Pearl, growing fond of her like Susan.
Seated at the dining table, Susan beamed happily, pleased that two of her sons had brought theirgirlfriends home, with one now her legal daughter-in-law. The prospect of future grandchildren filledher with joy.
However, Mobius's loss of a wonderful woman left Susan feeling conflicted, wondering if it wouldaffect him, given his brothers' relationships.
The dinner was awkward despite their familiarity with each other.
Hanzel, notably transformed since dating Feather, served her attentively. "Eat more. You're quiteslim. My mom's cooking is good. If you like it, I'll bring you food every day."
Feather, while smiling and accepting the food, couldn't hide her discomfort.
Pearl noticed a brief moment of tension in Hanzel's expression, and if she guessed right, Feathermight have stepped on his feet. Their dynamic is quite interesting.
Susan, sensing their intimacy, interjected, "Fifi, when will you marry Hanzel? Let's arrange ameeting with your parents and plan the wedding."
"Pfft!" The usually calm Feather choked. She looked up and forced a smile. "Maam, Hanzel and Iaren't dating yet..."
Susan's mood soured. "Hanzel, why can't you do such a thing well? Don't come home again if youfail to win Fifi over in a month!"
Still reeling from Feather's reaction, Hanzel now faced his mother's disappointment, leaving himdespondent and questioning why he always seemed to suffer.
