"I'm her fiancee, Essa Reese." Essa's eyes stared steadily at the girl. Although the girl seemed polite and well-bred, Essa didn't like her.
'Fiancee?' The girl's eyes blinked. Then she curled her lips and smiled, "Really? I've never heard of Declan being engaged.”
Essa was not stupid. The girl was implying something. It wasn't as simple as the words. The girl was indicating that Declan had never mentioned Essa to her, or admitted that Essa was his girlfriend.
But that was not the point. The point was in what kind of identity was the girl showing up at Declan's dinner table today.
"Declan, you better make it clear! Is she any of our relatives?"
The war between women was silent, without weapons or smoke.
The girl smiled gently. She did not say a word and sat there quietly. She didn't think she needed to answer such a question.
Declan and his mother were both present. They should be the ones to answer the question.
However, Declan's mother had no intention of speaking up. She just sat there in silence.
And Declan felt that the situation was complicated. He didn't know how to explain it.
Essa's eyes darted between the three, waiting for any one of them to give her an explanation.
But none of them spoke up. They all remained silent. The atmosphere was tense.
After a while, Declan grabbed Essa's wrist and tried to take her out.
But Essa wouldn’t go out. Why would she go out?
Declan frowned, he tugged Essa's arm," Let's talk outside."
"I used to be good to him, and I was good to him for so long, so now I'm done! He's not
my family. I'm not obligated to be responsible for him. I can't afford to take on that much responsibility, so that's it!"
Now Essa completely calmed down. She looked at Declan harshly and asked him," Who is that girl?"
Declan didn't say anything. He was silent.
"A spare wheel? Or your new girlfriend?" Declan didn't say anything, so Essa answered for him.
Declan still didn't say anything. He just stood there in silence.
Essa let out a cold laugh. She had understood everything. She took out a bottle of water, raised her hand, and smashed it on Declan's head. Her movement was quick and accurate.
