At night, in the Emersons's living room.
Yuliana clasped Elaine's hand and asked meekly.
"Sis, is that really Charlotte over there?"
Elaine rolled her eyes at her hopeless sister.
"What kind of question is that? You follow Shane around like a lost puppy every day, yet you still know nothing. Speaking of Shane, what's the matter with him? He made a fool out of me in front of so many people today! When are you the two of you ever going to get hitched?
"Sis, calm down. It'll happen soon, alright?" Yuliana hung her head in shame.
There was nothing she could do about Shane’ s lack of interest in her!
Elaine's younger sister was making her blood boil so much, she nearly fainted. However, it was a blessing that Shane couldn't recognize Charlotte.
This was indeed a silver lining to the cloud.
"Madam Emerson, Elder Master is back."
The housekeeper said as he entered.
Hearing this, Elaine shot a stern glance at Yuliana, signalling her to wrap up the conversation. Then, she went out to welcome her husband.
"Timothy, how are you? You must be exhausted traveling back and forth." Elaine said, helping Timothy take his coat off.
"How did the birthday party go?"
Timothy hadn't been able to attend his youngest son's birthday party, since he had to return to his hometown for prayers.
"Yes, everything went smoothly." A sweet smile lit up Elaine's face, like a perfectly doting wife.
She had ordered that no one would talk about what had happened earlier that day. Timothy would be none the wiser.
"I'm tired. If there's anything you want to talk about, we could go over it tomorrow."
As Elaine watched Timothy make his way up the stairs, a hint of malevolence flashed across her eyes.
