Margot looked at the caller ID showing up on her smartphone screen. Her eyes were devoid of the usual gentleness and love. She pursed her lips tightly and picked up the phone with a bit of anger.
"Mom, my brother and I have arrived at the hotel." Yvonne's voice was soft and sweet. "We just went to the banquet hall. But we didn't see you and Dad. Did you arrive at the hotel? Where are you now?"
Thinking that Yvonne had caused all the troubles of tonight, Margot couldn't help but feel angry. She took a deep breath and said, "I'm in the lobby with your father."
"In the lobby? We are in the lobby now. Why didn't I see you guys? My brother and I will be right over!" Yvonne hung up the phone.
Looking at Margot's expression at the moment, Patrick hesitated and sighed, "Margot, when you see Yvonne later, you shouldn't be too harsh... There must be a reason for her to do so. Let's hear what she says first."
Margot pursed her lips and didn't say anything with a sullen face.
A moment later...
"Dad, Mom!" After seeing them, Yvonne walked over to them. She reached out to hold Margot's arm, as she usually did, and said affectionately, "What are you doing here?"
"Hello, Mr. Swift and Mrs. Swift." The two best friends of Yvonne greeted Margot and Patrick politely.
Margot nodded lightly at them.
"Patrick, take Yvonne's friends there first. Take care of the girls. Yvonne and I will come over later."
Margot's voice was a bit chilly. And she didn't touch Yvonne's head like she usually did. Yvonne sensed something was wrong almost immediately. She held her head to look at Margot with some surprise.
Nathan also felt it was weird. He looked up at Margot with his long, narrow, dark eyes.
There was not a smile on Margot's face. Her expression was sullen. She looked very different from usual.
"Sure. That's okay." Patrick nodded, then greeted Nathan, "Let's go over first."
