Auntie King immediately said, "You’re already twenty-five, twenty-six and still not seeing anyone. How can I not be worried? Just now, you were feeding me a line about finding a boyfriend, coming back here to get married and have kids for me to look after. Heaven knows when that’ll ever happen."
Fiona Linton: "..."
She buried her face in her hands!
’Help me!’
’This is so embarrassing!’
Nathaniel Monroe smiled and said, "Auntie King, I’m already married."
"Huh?" Auntie King was taken aback. "You’re married already, at your age?"
That came out a little strange, and Auntie King realized it herself. She quickly corrected herself, saying, "What I mean is, young people these days get married and have children late. It’s rare for someone like you to be married already. Your parents must be so relieved."
Nathaniel Monroe lowered his gaze slightly and said, "I actually regret waiting so long to get married. I should have confessed my feelings to her as soon as I realized them. Our kids might have been running all over the place by now."
Chloe Reed looked at him, a complex light shimmering in her expressive eyes.
Auntie King was very envious. "How wonderful."
Then, she looked back at Fiona Linton. "You should learn from him. And then look at yourself. I don’t even want to talk about it..."
Fiona Linton: "..."
’Give me a break, AHHH!’
She didn’t say a word, just kept her head down and focused on her food.
The tense atmosphere at the dinner table completely vanished.
Auntie King prepared three guest rooms. Daniel Hayes and Nathaniel Monroe were staying downstairs, while Chloe Reed was upstairs.
Fiona Linton said, "You might feel a little off when you wake up tomorrow morning. If anything happens, tell me right away, and I’ll figure out what’s going on."
Chloe Reed nodded, then typed on her phone, "Thank you."
