Chapter 230
Seeing Diana had her daughter–in–law with her. Lauren felt a bit uncomfortable.
“Oh. Diana’s here, come sit over here,” the women hurriedly made room, leaving the best spot for Diana and Lauren. Julia naturally sat next to Diana.
“Lauren, long time no see. Diana was the only one who addressed Lauren by her first name.
After greeting, she looked at Lauren’s side and said. “Why don’t I see Marissa today? You used to bring her everywhere with you?”
She almost seemed to announce to the world that Marissa was her future daughter–in–law. The other wives, already curious, now all turned to look at Lauren.
