Gernard gazed at her and remarked, "You seem to have lost some weight."

Aveline touched her face. "Really? Well, in that case, I won't have to go on a diet."

Gernard wanted to say more, but he suddenly realized this conversation seemed a bit too intimate. Thinking about what his sister intended to do, he sighed softly in his heart. He glanced at the two lawyers. "You all continue; I won't disturb you." With that, he made a move to leave.

"You aren't disturbing us," Aveline interjected.

For some reason, she suddenly wanted Gernard to stay, to hear what was to be discussed next. It felt as if having him around provided a sense of security. This feeling was strange, catching her off guard, but she had already spoken. Gernard decided not to leave. "Very well, I will be there at court tomorrow too, so don't worry."

"Alright." Aveline nodded.

As the two lawyers continued speaking, Aveline listened attentively while Gernard occasionally added a word or two.
