Goodbye You Never Loved Me novel (Martha and Stefan) novel Chapter 396

Chapter 396 You have to be more careful

Since Gage spoke up to ease the awkwardness of the scene, the family dinner proceeded in silence.

Daisy never spoke up again to break the current peaceful atmosphere, perhaps because she was intimidated by her father, or maybe because she felt it was unnecessary.

After the family dinner was over, everyone put down their knives and forks and walked together towards the main hall.

Everyone was sitting in the main hall as usual, and Martha was the only one who looked at the crowd with some discomfort.

This was her first family dinner, and judging from the performance of her uncles, she had no idea who would be the real mastermind behind it.

The Lucas were chitchatting, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

But in the middle of this, the old Mrs. Lucas' eyes had rested on Martha.

She looked at Martha with loving eyes, mixed with a bit of nostalgia, perhaps looking through Martha at her oldest daughter.

Of course Martha could feel the old Mrs. Lucas' gaze, and her eyes met the old Mrs. Lucas while the crowd was talking.

She could feel that her grandmother seemed to have something to say to her, only now she was in a condition where she could not speak at all.

The next second, Gage's voice suddenly sounded to interrupt Martha's thoughts.

"Martha, what did you do in your previous job?"

Martha looked back at her uncle with a professional smile and replied in a warm voice, "Doing business at the Doyle Group."

"Doing business?"

Clark chimed in and then asked, "Could it be that you've started taking care of everything at the Doyle Group?"

Martha nodded gently and replied politely, "My father is old, so naturally I should take over the company."

She could see that her second uncle was just echoing Gage, not trying to know more about her, but just wanting to show his superficial concern for her.

She knew these people were not simple, but she didn't mind living in peace with them for some days as long as they didn't do anything to hurt her.

"And do you still have family where you lived before?"

With a smile on his face, Gage asked with concern, making it impossible for Martha to feel any hint of malice.

Martha nodded gently and smiled, "My father is still in his old town and he's doing fine."

Just as her words went out of her mouth, Clark's voice sounded.

"Were there any other relatives in that city besides your father?"

"Yes, there's Bianca, someone who watching me grow up. Also I have a ..."

Just as Martha was about to say that she had a son, Eva, who had been smiling lightly, suddenly interrupted Martha.

"Martha, do you have any hobbies other than running the Doyle Group?"

When Martha heard this, her eyelashes fluttered lightly.

She could sense that her aunt did not want her to mention her child, and the failed marriage of the past.

She didn't know why her aunt wanted to hide this part from the Lucas, but she chose not to say anything.

Her hand on her side unconsciously tightened, and her face resumed the smile it had just worn, as if nothing had happened.

"I like to paint."

"That sounds good, when will you show us your paintings?"

Gage smiled and echoed, looking at the newly returned niece with a glint in his eyes.

Martha smiled and nodded to say yes, but in the next moment, she inadvertently raised her eyes and met the gaze of her uncle Sam.

Sam looked at her with a very cold look, with displeasure, and she stiffened.

At this moment, she could not say what she felt for this third uncle, only thinking of hurrying to avoid eye contact with him.

In fact, she did so, and looked at the crowd present with a smile on her face.
