Chapter 629
Vivienne blinked in confusion. “Mara? Who’s that?”
As far as Vivienne was concerned, the name Mara had been flushed down the toilet long ago, just like yesterday’s news.
The whole Boyd family had become invisible in Vivienne and Percival’s world, let alone Mara.
Their association with the Boyds had been as necessary as a fish needs a bicycle—completely irrelevant!
Isolde nodded emphatically. “Yes, Mara. Mom’s niece, the one you’ve met before.”
Vivienne was still clueless, but Percival recalled and said, “The girl from the second branch of the Boyd family.”
“Huh?” Vivienne blinked, not following.
Percival chuckled helplessly and flicked Vivienne’s forehead. “The one you said had a nose like a button mushroom.”
“Oh!” Vivienne’s face lit up with realization. “Isn’t she supposed to be abroad? Why is she back?”
What Vivienne did not voice was, “How could she have the gall to show her face here again?”
But with Isolde present, such language was inappropriate.
The trio walked into the living room where Cecilia sat, looking somewhat apologetic.
“Mom, what’s she doing here? Is something wrong?” Percival inquired.
He knew his mother well enough to realize that although she could be scatterbrained at times, she had a strong moral compass.
The Boyds had been nothing but trouble, and Mara had even tried to break him and Vivienne up—Cecilia would not forgive that lightly.
