Marshall was genuinely angry. Ignoring Chase, he turned to Ashley.“Come, Ashley, let me take you out to dinner.”

Ashley put down her teacup and stood.“Okay.”

Marshall didn’t look back at Chase as he left with Ashley. Chase remained calmly seated. He was sipping his tea, neither following nor stopping them.

Emily believed it; for ten years, her birthdays had been low–key family affairs. Now that the ten years were over, Alex and Chase discussed throwing a grand party for her. Thus, even though her birthday was still a while away, the details were already finalized. Amanda came out of her room. Seeing the invitation, she said to Ashley, “It just arrived.”
