S31 64. New Year Wishes

Jeremy’s eyes widened at the whisper. After a faint nod, he said, ” Okay. I’ll contact Mr. Morris.”

Diana smiled wryly. After looking at the faces around her one by one, she sighed in resignation. “Okay, I accept it.”

The old women giggled. When else would they wear children’s conical hats if not for Louis and Emily? And soon, they would blow the
