Chapter 3 Wedding Night
Alston’s fingers trembled for a moment. He suddenly looked sharply at Greg, “Who told you to call her Mrs. Smith?”
Greg tried to explain for Cynthia, “She looks very simple, pretty and mild-tempered. She is much easier to get along with than her sister.”

Alston gave her a look, then he bowed his head and drank slowly.
He ate gracefully which made Cynthia a little obsessed.
He finished the soup soon and wiped his hands with a towel. He suddenly looked at Cynthia, “I suppose tonight is our wedding night…”
