Chapter 95 The Annual Party Begins

 

Margaret was exceedingly dissatisfied, and that resentment hadn’t just been for a day or two.

 

 

He’s part of the Smith family, yet he’s seated at the fringes, closest to the door, during the Smith family’s annual party! Is this not humiliating and degrading?

 

“It makes no difference where we’re seated, no?” Conversely, Connor wasn’t the least bit bothered.
