“Yeah. My skin is more radiant and glowing than before too!” Charlotte answered cheerily.
A grin broke out on Fae's face. “It's such a pleasure to see you young people. It's as if time has turned back, and I've reverted to my youth again.”
Nearby, Lochlan's gaze was trained on Charlotte, but he couldn't muster the courage to approach her.
His heart clenched at the sight of her until Kate pinched his arm, the sharp pain jolting him out of his reverie. His eyes flew to his mother. “What are you doing, Mom?”
Kate almost blew a gasket at Olivia's earlier action.
How dare Olivia snub me! And she is best friends with Charlotte now?
Fury simmered beneath the surface of her skin, nearly driving her insane.
“What's wrong with you? The Warhol family is perfect. How could you let Olivia leave to befriend Charlotte? You disappointed me, Lochlan!”
Kate would have berated Lochlan further if there wasn't an audience.
She regretted attending this birthday celebration for Dixon's sake. All that had brought her was humiliation, and right in front of everyone too.
Damn you to hell, Olivia and Charlotte! Damn you straight to hell!
A red smear of wrath colored her vision, and she almost went crazy because she couldn't vent.
Mary and Penelope were disconcerted when James and his family arrived.
The mayor... Is he serious now? How could he be here for Ashlyn's birthday celebration?
When Penelope noticed how tall and handsome Joseph was, she burned with jealousy. She couldn't understand why all the attractive men seemed to flock to Ashlyn.
How infuriating!
Harvey stilled when he caught sight of James, which didn't go unnoticed by Ashlyn.
“This is my brother-in-law, James. James, this is Old Mr. Laith,” Ashlyn introduced.
Brother-in-law... She referred to the mayor as her brother-in-law!
