S31 60. Preparing a Party

“Yes,” Jeremy stretched out one arm, waiting for Vivian’s back to come within his reach. “Let me introduce her, Grandma. This is my mother, Vivian Bell.”

“Hello, Mrs. Johnson. Nice to meet you.” Vivian gave a warm smile

then offered her hand.

Without warning, Diana let go of Louis’s grip and then cupped Vivian’s hand. “You are Norman’s ex-girlfriend?”

Vivian’s eyes widened. With a high arch of eyebrows, she glanced at Jeremy and the others briefly. Everyone looked awkward.

“Hmm, yes. Before he was betrothed to Barbara’s mother,” Vivian answered stiffly, but still gracefully.

Diana let out a long sigh. “I’m sorry you had to go through difficult times because of my son. I hope you don’t hold a grudge against him. I was the one who was wrong.

“Do you still remember him often?”

Vivian’s eyebrows arched higher. “Norman?”

After a blink, she tried to break the ice with a smile. “Yeah, sometimes. Every time I see Jeremy I think of him.”

“Does Jeremy look more like Norman?”

Vivian’s eyes twitched as she studied the Harper brothers. “In terms of face, appearance, and gait, Jeremy is more similar. But when it comes to character and habits, I think Frank is closer.”

Diana let out a laugh. Her eyes suddenly lit up. “Is that so? How about his voice?” She pulled Vivian towards the sofa. Philip, Barbara, and Abigail spontaneously stepped aside, feeling that it would be impolite to listen closely to their conversation.
