He even called Mdm Henkel his grandmother!

It felt as though Anya was struck by lightning as she trembled briefly.

She had to leave as soon as possible before he started thinking she had deliberately come over to his place!

“Uh… I… I genuinely forgot about it.” Anya was not a good liar, so she would stammerwhen she did. However, there was nothing else she could do now.

“Sigh. What could be so important?” Mdm Welton insisted on Anya staying for dinner. Otherwise, she would not be able to introduce this potential girlfriend to her grandson. “If it is really important, I can get Evan to send you over after dinner.”
