Clayton hesitated for a moment.
He said carefully, "Isn't it already expected?"
Nicole and Julie widened their eyes.
"You already expected this?"
Even a screenwriter would not write such a dramatic scene, right?
Clayton turned the corner and slowed down. He spoke in a calm tone.
"From the first time Samuel brought Kirsi to a public occasion, Lumi was sure to find out eventually. Why didn't you guys anticipate it? Lumi didn't think about it because she was too easily fooled. Wouldn't a normal person have a sense of boundaries if they’re not too familiar with their sister-in-law?"
After Clayton finished speaking, the car fell into silence.
The car was filled with a light jasmine fragrance that was selected by Nicole.
It was a soothing and light scent.
Nicole and Julie glanced at each other.
So, they were the ones who made this bigger than it seemed?
The Makinen Residence.
Someone knocked sharply on the door.
Lumi thought that Nicole and Julie had returned.
The maid was not there, so Lumi had no choice but to go downstairs and open the door herself.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Samuel standing outside.
Lumi's expression immediately changed.
"What are you doing here?"
Samuel paused. He calmed his voice.
"I came to admit my mistake."
Julian and Mia had berated Samuel with countless questioning phone calls.
He could have ignored them, and he did not need to be accountable to anyone.
If the marriage alliance was dissolved, the Lindstrom family was not at a disadvantage. Rather, the Makinen family had the most to lose.
There were only two possibilities if he did not come - the marriage alliance would be dissolved, or Lumi would compromise.
Samuel could not accept the first possibility.
Although this marriage was not what he wanted at the beginning, after spending so much time together, Samuel found that Lumi was completely different from other high-society ladies that he knew.
She was naive
