Chapter 102

“Hi, Love, I’m Darlington Keflin. It’s a pleasure to meet you,” she said in happiness. However, I could tell she wasn’t in good

health. Mrs. Kofflin was weak

“Hello, Mrs. Kofflin,”

“Oh no, dear, call me Darling or aunt. We are family now,” she said.

Darling turned to her husband, “You must know my husband, Kenny Kofflin,”

I nodded, and Mr. Kofflin extended his hand to greet me with a warm smile.

“Welcome to our home, dear,”

“And this is my young son, Ken. His sister is out of town, but you’ll see her soon,” she said.

I greeted Ken, but he went for a hug.

“Sister in law! It is finally good to see you. I was doubting your existence,” Ken chuckled, and his elder brother playfully glared

at him.

Ken was younger than David. He was my age.

“And -” Before Darling could finish a word, an older woman interrupted and slightly pushed her aside towards Mr. Kofflin. She tried to make it subtle, but I noticed. The two didn’t like each other.

Darling sneered, not impressed by this older woman.

‘This family has drama,’ Vee sang. I laughed. She low-key their feet; threeed the d.rama

“I’m Nonna, David’s grandmother and the matriarch of this household, and this is my wife, Didi,” Nonna said. Her partner came closer. She was way younger and beautiful, almost the same age as Darling. Didi extended her hand, and I shook it.

“It’s nice to meet all of you,” I said.

We made small talk, and a server brought in wine. We were drinking as we talked.

We later went to the dining room to eat.

“Love, I’m so glad you’re in my son’s life. I was scared I’d die before seeing him bring a woman here,” Darling said with sadness, touching her chest. Vee groaned and rolled her eyes.

“I heard you underwent surgery. I was sorry to hear that,” I said.

“And thank you for the flowers. They were lovely,” she smiled.

“How are you feeling now, Mom,” David asked.

“I’ll fully recover in a few months. The doctor said I’m still fragile and can’t be shocked,”

“Or too excited,” Mr. Kenny added.

Noona and Didi sniggered,

“The hyperbole is sickening,” Nonna rolled her eyes. Darling was about to flare when her husband held her hand, and she sighed.

“My health is delicate right now, so I won’t engage with you, mother,” she gritted her teeth.

“Oh so-”

“Enough, we have company. Let’s not scare her,” she gritted her teeth.

My time with Kofflin was cordial. However, there was tension between Nonna and Didi against Darlington. It was kind of entertaining to watch them send jabs at each other. I gathered that Darlington and Ridi have been best friends since high school. She married the Kofflin family at an early age, and Didi also wanted to be part of the affluent family, but there were no more men in the family, so she seduced Nonna after her husband died. They got married a few years ago.

Darlington was furious about their union and ended their friendship. Nevertheless, she couldn’t escape her former best friend because she married into a family like hers.

‘So devious, I like it,’ Vee mused.

I talked to Ken about his art as the servers passed around to give us drinks. David commanded everyone’s attention. He went to me and inhaled, smiling.

What was he about to say?

“Everyone, thank you for being here. As you know, Love is the woman of my dreams,” he said, warmly glancing at me.
