Chapter 868

Isabelle was scrolling through the news on her tablet when she saw the smile on the handsome man's face. She asked, "What's up? Why are you so happy?"

"Wedding Planner Z actually took our order," Darius said, his lips curling as he looked at Isabelle sitting on the couch. She was beautiful with almond-shaped eyes and rosy cheeks. Her skin was snow-white, and even in casual clothes, she still looked elegant and charming.

Just then, the butler hurried over. "Old Mrs. Foster, Mr. Foster, Old Mrs. Obrien is back," he said.

Old Mrs. Foster had just put on her reading glasses to inform some relatives of Darius' wedding news when she heard what the butler said. She immediately put down her phone and said, "Please bring her in quickly."

Old Mrs. Obrien was Darius' aunt who married into Aettosa's famous family, the Obrien family.

After a while, the butler brought an elderly woman with windblown hair and a young woman into the room.

The young woman wore a caramel-colored coat that accentuated her snow-white skin tone; her eyes were an endless blue that sparkled brightly when they met Darius'. Her facial features were soft with black hair cascading down naturally creating waves that made one want to touch them gently with their fingertips.

On the other hand, Old Mrs. Obrien wore a black coat exuding an air of seriousness befitting someone from such an esteemed family background like hers.

As soon as she entered through doors of their home, she scanned everyone present in hall with imposing gaze before finally resting it upon Isabelle.

Her scrutinizing gaze made Isabelle feel uncomfortable; however, she politely stood up from where she sat holding onto tablet, and stood next to Darius welcoming their guest.

Old Mrs. Obrien brought some gifts along which were taken inside by the butler.

"My dear sister-in-law, it has been ages since we last met," she spoke hoarsely.

Old Mrs. Foster warmly extended both hands towards Old Mrs. Obrien, held onto them tightly saying, "Rory, you're back for good now. What are all these gifts for? Come sit beside me. How did you come back so fast? I only told you yesterday about Darius getting married."

Old Mrs. Obrien whose maiden name was Rory Foster sat beside Old Mrs. Foster laughing softly. "This is my daughter-in-law's son's daughter who grew up at our place. She played often together with my granddaughter during childhood. Darius too used to play around frequently."

"Is that Carolina Lancaster? She's now so graceful and beautiful, a true beauty," Old Mrs. Foster smiled warmly, but inside she felt a pang of unease. Why did Rory bring her here? She had a bad feeling about her return.
