In Seafood Restaurant in the private room on the third floor.
Cindy and Zedd were sitting opposite me and Theo particularly upright. Zedd then raised his glass and made a toast to me," Wanda, my sister-in-law, I really have to thank you so much this time. If you hadn't said those words to me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have mustered up the courage until now."
I was a little surprised. I blinked and smiled sweetly, "It's rare to hear you call me sister-in-law. I'm a little not used to it." I laughed with my mouth covered and looked at Theo beside me.
He actually supported me and agreed, "Yes, we rarely hear it."
Zedd immediately apologized, "Wanda, I did do a lot of bad things to you in the past. Cindy and I would like to apologize to you. Thank you for disregarding the past and still being willing to help us."
I could see the sincerity on their faces. I pursed my lips and smiled. "We're all family, so you're welcome. You must drink. Congratulations on finally attaining positive results and getting what you want."
I downed the contents of the glass of water. "Since I'm pregnant, I can't drink. I'll have to make do," I said with a smile.
"As you should."
Theo looked at them like he was an elder, and I knew that at this moment, he must be feeling very happy. Cindy had a good home and he could offer closure to her late parents.
"Theo, I honor you with this glass. I caused a lot of trouble for you and Wanda before this. I..." Cindy did not know what to say and was stuck for a moment.
"Let's not bring up the past. If Wanda can let go of it, then so can I." After drinking the glass of wine in his hand, Theo more or less put the past behind him.
the past was more or less behind him.
Cindy nodded and finished her drink." Thank you, Theo. Thank you even more, Wanda."
Her sweet address overwhelmed me a little. "You're finally willing to call me by my name. Maybe it won't be long before you have to call me your sister-in-law too."
"Oh, please." Cindy turned her head shyly.
