Annabelle couldn’t help but notice what her great aunt said. She invited Patricia, so she wouldn’t let others bully Patricia.
“Aunt Hough, when will your daughter arrive? Is she claiming that something happened because she didn’t want to give me a gift?”
Annabelle changed the subject in order to divert attention away from Patricia.
She was still young at that time and had no idea what had happened. However, as time passed, she overheard family members talking about Patricia and realized that Patricia was pregnant with someone else’s child.
As such, Patricia was kicked out of the villa and she vanished as a result.
Annabelle would not have known if her mother never informed that Patricia had recently returned. As a result, she obtained Patricia’s phone number and asked her out.
She was ecstatic to see Patricia again because she hadn’t seen Patricia in ages and had missed Patricia dearly.
At this point, Gwen looked at her husband with unhappiness. She had been causing trouble for years, and her husband had always supported the Anistons.
They felt that Patricia was a disgrace to him and the Anistons. Therefore, he would not be able to help her in this scenario.
“Addy visited her boyfriend’s house today, and she will be here after dinner,” Gwen spoke with a smug grin that stretched from ear to ear.
“Addy already has a boyfriend?” Everyone wondered.
“You previously said that you wanted to set up Addy with a man. She’s already got a boyfriend?”
Olivia asked, “Who is it? Why don’t she bring him back for us to have a look?”
“Yeah! Is he a nobleman, and if so, from whose family? We’ll have to think about it if he’s just a common person.”
“Don’t let love get the best of Addy, or else…”
Gwen’s sister remembered Patricia’s experience as she blurted out the words, but she held it back in the end. She gave Patricia the side eye and attempted to save her own self by not directly saying those words.
Gwen was expecting them to ask, so she purposefully kept them guessing.
“They have just recently started, and Addy’s boyfriend’s family adored her; she had visited them twice. However, we have yet to see him, so we will have to wait and see.”
Gwen’s happy face piqued everyone’s interest, making them as curious as ever.
“Who is it, Gwen? Please let us know so that we can satisfy our curiosity!”
She cast a glance at Patricia before raising her voice, “Addy’s boyfriend is Isaac, the eldest child from the Arnold Family.”
After these words were said, everyone at the table was silent for about a second before they all spoke at the same time. “Isaac Arnold?”
Their hearts ached as they looked at each other. Everyone had hoped that their daughter would marry into the Arnold Family, but that was not going to happen. Adeline was extremely lucky to be Isaac’s girlfriend.
She was a mistress’s child who climbed through the ranks and married into the Arnold Family; as a result, she was living a good life.
“Congratulations, sister-in-law!”
“Addy is extremely fortunate.”
Patricia looked around the table as everyone began to flatter Gwen.
“You will have a good life in the future, Gwen. You have a wonderful son-in-law! I’m jealous!” Olivia looked at her daughter as she spoke. My daughter is certainly more attractive and educated than Adeline. How could she have passed up such a wonderful opportunity?
Abigail, her daughter, quickly averted her gaze and pretended not to hear those words.
At this precise moment, Adeline entered the restaurant with a branded paper bag and placed it in front of Annabelle.
“Happy birthday, Annabelle!”
Annabelle glanced at the gift. As expected, Adeline was generous and she replied, “Thank you very much, Addy.”
Adeline sat next to Patricia since the seat next to Patricia was vacant due to the unwillingness of those present to sit next to her.
