They’re so annoying! Dad must have allowed Evan to marry Nicole because of the kids. Ultimately, they’re also a stumbling block for Sofie. Ugh, if only I can—
“Aunt Lisa, what are you thinking about? You seemed so absorbed.” Moira broke her reverie.
“Nothing.” Lisa gave her an awkward chuckle. “I’m just happy to look at the kids.”
Davin’s lips twitched. What a lie! You’re the last person to feel happy to see the kids among the Seets!
As they were happily digging in, Derrick, Russell’s servant, came rushing in.
He walked over to Russell and handed him an envelope.
“What is this?”
Derrick whispered in Russell’s ears for a while.
Russell looked at the envelope in his hands and opened it hesitantly.
The smile on his face faded at once when he saw the photo inside.
As he put the photo into the envelope and finished reading the accompanying letter, a stern and lurid look crept onto his wrinkled and aging face.
He looked up and glared pointedly at Nicole.
Why is he looking at me like that? Nicole’s heart did a somersault upon noticing the elder’s gaze.
Everyone at the table couldn’t make head or tail of Russell’s sudden change in expression as well.
A strong sense of foreboding nagged at Evan. He asked in a low voice, “Grandpa, what’s wrong?”
Russell clammed up.
It was as if the minute hand and hour hand on the clock had stopped running.
Everyone in the room dared not make a sound.
Even Jonathan and Sophia were surprised.
“Dad, what happened?”
“Yeah, Dad, what’s going on?”
Russell gave the letter to Derrick with trembling hands.
