At this moment, as Stephanie locked her gaze on Claire, there was a dash of jealousy and anguish in her eyes. 6
She had liked Charlie ever since she was a child and always dreamed of being Charlie’s bride. She hadn’t forgotten this dream, but from the looks of it, her dream could never come true. 8
That was why she envied Claire even more. In her opinion, Claire was the happiest woman in the world because she had married the best man in the world.
Mrs. Lewis smiled gently and said, "Yes, building your career is important, but so is family. It's better to have a baby when you are young, as it will affect your health otherwise.”
Claire nodded, her blushing face as red as an apple. 9
Stephanie then said apologetically, "Mrs. Lewis, the owner of the restaurant just called, he said that there was a problem with their electricity in the restaurant, s o they had to close for business today. Looks like we have to find another place to eat." 5
Mrs. Lewis said with a motherly smile, "It doesn’t matter. The most important thing is that I'm glad to see all of you today. I haven't seen some of you for a long time, I’m very happy."
Max, who had been neglected the whole time, blinked
mischievously upon hearing this. He immediately marched forward and blurted, "Mrs. Lewis, let me arrange the dinner venue for us tonight.”
He took out his phone and made a call, and then announced to the crowd, "Guys, I've reserved a table at the five-star Hyatt Hotel. Let's go!"
The crowd sucked in a breath in surprise upon the announcement!
Someone started in an awkward tone, "Hyatt is a five-star hotel, it's a little too extravagant to dine there, right? It will cost at least twenty to thirty thousand per meal, right?" 7
"Yeah! Even if we go Dutch, it will cost one or two thousand per person! We can't afford such high expenses with our current salary!" 6
