Christopher wanted to say something. He was not comforting her, but really wanted to give her a necklace that was worthy of her. However, when he saw her body stiffen, his eyes suddenly lit up.
He could not help but look in the direction of her gaze.
Shane got out of the car. He wore only a white T-shirt and looked coolly handsome and charismatic. Even without doing anything, it was enough to attract everyone's attention.
Tiffany, who had been passing on her good wishes to Braden, immediately went to his side and held Shane's arm like a spoiled child. She was practically plastered on him.
Shane took a step back and distanced himself from her.
"Um, Shane, why don't you introduce us. This is..."
"I've already made the introductions." Shane interrupted coldly.
"We only know that her name is Tiffany." Braden was embarrassed. He kept making motions at Shane in the direction of
Charlotte.
Shane pretended that he didn't see it, and the atmosphere around him suddenly became colder. "That's enough."
As soon as he finished speaking, he walked into the house with a gloomy expression.
Braden blinked, undid his tie and threw it on the ground. "What the hell is up with this guy today? He looks like someone pissed in his coffee."
No one responded to him.
It was only then that Braden realized that Charlotte didn't look so good. Anne and Christopher surrounded her, looking as if they were comforting her.
As for Tiffany, she seemed to be a simple and harmless little lady.
Braden felt very down. Could it have been that this engagement party had been held at the wrong time?
In the living room, everyone sat down, but no one spoke.
Charlotte should have sat with Shane, but she couldn't butt in. Fortunately, Christopher placed her with him and Zoe so as to avoid any embarrassment.
When he saw that the atmosphere had become even tenser, Braden quickly said, "Why don't we go horse-riding? My family has a stable."
"That's fine." Christopher agreed.
Braden immediately looked at Shane and said, "Three against two, it's no use even if you refuse."
Shane glanced at Christopher and said, "Do you know how to ride?"
Christopher smiled. "I don't just know how to ride."
What the hell?
Why are they arguing with each other again?
Braden really wanted to cry. He quickly stood up and arranged for the few people to go to the stables.
When they arrived at the place, Charlotte finally spoke up and said that she didn't know how to ride. In order not to spoil everyone's mood, she decided to sit and watch.
When she saw this, Tiffany also said that she didn't feel well and left behind Charlotte.
"Look at what you did." Braden rode to Shane and said, "What are you doing? Who is this Tiffany person?"
"She's Heidi Allen's younger sister." It was Christopher who spoke.
Braden was so shocked that his mouth became an 0. "The one who died when Shane was 15?"
Christopher nodded.
Shane said angrily, "Stop talking nonsense."
"You can lose your temper as you like." Christopher just smiled and said lightly. "I only care about whether someone I care about will be hurt or not."
Even if he was slow- witted, Braden was aware of where the problem lay.
It was so ridiculous. Was Christopher going to steal Shane's woman?
Shane sneered, "Do you think you are qualified?"
"We've known each other for so long. I thought you weren't such a bad person, but I didn't think you would be a playboy. It's disgusting." Christopher mounted his horse and rode away. "Giddyup!"
Braden still wanted to persuade Shane, but Shane also picked up his reins, leaving only his back to Braden.
"What the hell is going on here?" Braden thought.
Braden was feeling gloomy when Anne came riding over. "What's wrong with the two of them?"
"Christopher seems to care a lot about Ms. Emerson. Did you know about this?"
"Him? I don't think that's possible. There aren't any sparks when he's standing with Lottie," Anne said suspiciously.
There were no sparks because, previously, Charlotte and Shane were fine. Now, with the addition of Tiffany, that guy Christopher was exposed.
Braden's expression was aggrieved. "My dear wife, it's so difficult for me being in the middle."
"Don't worry." In comparison, Anne was very calm. "There are less than three hours left. The results will come out soon."
"What results?"
"Sheryl and Shane's DNAtest."
Braden was stunned. Then his eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "My wife is brilliant. You're so smart!"
Anne smiled. "Okay, stop flattering me. Let's go horse-riding."
"Alright."
Not far away, at the seating area.
As Charlotte sat at the highest point, she was able to watch everyone prance around.
