"Mmm," Bianca murmured after looking at her watch. "Let's go inside."
Lillian was still hopeful. "Maybe we should wait a little longer. I'm sure he'll come."
Bianca didn't say anything more.
Over on the other side, Noreen and her group had already entered the building.
Lillian watched them go. "Finally, some peace and quiet."
Although she was scornful of Noreen's large entourage, seeing that it was just the two of them looking so sparse and isolated left her feeling a bit sour.
They waited for about ten minutes before a car pulled up.
Lillian's eyes lit up with excitement. "It must be him!"
However, when she saw the face of the person getting out of the car, her smile froze.
Bianca's lips tightened into a thin line.
After Dylan got out, he walked straight into the exchange.
But both Bianca and Lillian noticed that he had seen them as he was getting out of the car. He had chosen to ignore them.
With that, the last trace of a smile on Bianca's face vanished completely.
Another ten minutes passed, and another car arrived in front of the exchange.
Bianca looked over at the sound and saw that it was Yvonne and Forrest Lowell getting out. She forced a smile and called out, "Dad, Mom, you're here."
"Our flight was delayed, so we're a bit late," Yvonne said.
"It's not time yet, anyway," Bianca replied, though as she spoke, her gaze drifted back toward the street.
Yvonne noticed her reaction and asked after a moment, "Hasn't Seth arrived yet?"
"No."
"He shouldn't be absent on such an important day," Yvonne said with a frown.
Bianca made an excuse for Seth. "He's handling company business. If he can't make it, I won't blame him."
