Chapter 294

Mr. and Mrs. Wright were sitting in the living room, a steaming cup of coffee in front of them, while Suzan perched elegantly beside them, the picture of grace and propriety.

The scene was almost comical, resembling a marriage negotiation-except for the presence of Suzan’s college-going brother, both families, and the elders were all in attendance.

Holding her hand, he walked into the room under everyone’s watchful eyes.

Leanne tried subtly to twist her wrist away, wanting him to let go.

He held on firmly, his strong hands skillfully matched her efforts as he casually greeted the guests, saying, “Had we known Mr. and Mrs. Wright were visiting, we would have come home earlier.”
