Lilian sat comfortably on the couch in the living room, scrolling through her phone with a relaxed expression. The house was peaceful, the soft hum of the air conditioner blending with the quiet sounds of the afternoon. It was one of those rare moments when everything seemed to be in place. Her mind wandered briefly to the events of the day, but the tranquility was broken when she heard the familiar sound of footsteps.It was Matt, her young son, bounding into the room with the energy that only a child could muster. His face was lit with excitement, a wide grin spreading across his features.Lilian raised an eyebrow as she saw him approaching. “You’re done with your school assignment?” she asked, her tone a mix of curiosity and playful suspicion.Matt nodded confidently, his chest puffed out slightly as if he had just accomplished something monumental. “Yes, I’m done,” he said, a smug smile creeping across his face.Lilian couldn’t help but roll her eyes at his display but didn’t hide

Matt held his grandpa’s hand tightly as they strolled through the garden, the sunlight filtering through the trees and casting soft patterns on the ground. Grandpa walked with a steady, deliberate pace, his cane tapping rhythmically against the stone path.As they approached a shaded area with a circle of chairs, a group of elderly men, all Grandpa’s friends, were already seated, chatting animatedly. Their conversations quieted when they noticed Grandpa arriving.The men lit up at the sight of him, their faces brightening with smiles. One of them, a stern-looking man with a surprisingly warm grin, stood up first.“You’re finally here!” he exclaimed, his tone laced with both humor and affection.“Yes, I’m here,” Grandpa replied with a slight nod, his voice calm but laced with authority.“Come, let’s sit down and enjoy ourselves,” the man said, gesturing toward the empty chairs. He led Grandpa to a comfortable spot, and Matt followed closely, sitting down beside his grandfather.As they

Silas glanced at Matt, who sat quietly among the group of chatting adults. “Young man,” he said kindly, “are you not bored sitting here with us old folks? Why don’t you go inside and play with the other kids? They’re just in the living room.”Matt shook his head politely, but before he could respond, Gabriel patted his hand and spoke gently. “You can go, Matt. It’s okay.”Matt hesitated briefly, then nodded. Rising from his seat, he walked toward the house.Inside, the living room buzzed with energy. A group of children laughed and played together, their voices blending into a happy cacophony. When Matt entered, the lively chatter stopped, and all eyes turned toward him. The kids froze in curiosity, their movements halting as they took in the unfamiliar face.They stared at Matt, their expressions ranging from curiosity to cautious interest. It was clear this was their first time meeting him. Despite the attention, Matt remained calm, his face betraying no emotion. Without a word, he

Matt stood up immediately when he heard Silas’s voice calling him from the doorway. Aria, still sitting beside him, looked up with wide, curious eyes.“Your name is Matt?” she asked, tilting her head in surprise.Matt nodded silently, avoiding speaking. He didn’t want to break the illusion of their quiet connection or make her feel uncomfortable around him.Aria blinked, then smiled brightly. “I’ll remember your name,” she said, her tone full of promise.Matt hesitated for a moment, giving her one last glance. There was something warm and genuine about the way she spoke that made it difficult for him to leave. But without a word, he turned and walked toward Silas, who stood waiting for him with an expectant smile.“Where have you been, young man?” Silas asked cheerfully. “Did you enjoy your time here?” He leaned down slightly, looking at Matt as if trying to gauge his mood.Silas reached out, intending to take Matt’s hand, but Matt instinctively stepped back, maintaining his polite di

“That’s good! Do you want to go again next time?” Lilian asked Matt, leaning closer to catch his reaction. Her face lit up with anticipation as she awaited his answer. This was the first time her son had openly expressed enjoying the company of other children, and it was a moment she wanted to savor.“Yes!” Matt exclaimed, his eyes sparkling with joy.Lilian’s heart swelled with happiness. It wasn’t always easy to get Matt to engage with others, and hearing him so excited about his day felt like a small victory. She pulled him into a gentle hug and kissed the top of his head.“I’m so glad you had fun, sweetheart. We can go back anytime you want,” she said warmly, her voice soft and reassuring.Matt nodded eagerly, his face beaming.“Are you hungry? I’ll make dinner for you,” Lilian added, brushing his hair back from his forehead.“Okay, Mom,” he replied, his voice carrying a hint of eagerness.Lilian helped him lie down on the couch, fluffing a pillow under his head to make him more c

Lily looked at her mother when she heard the comment but chose not to say anything. She had grown used to Sarah’s habit of boasting, especially in front of others, but now wasn’t the time to address it. Her mother’s overconfidence often embarrassed her, but causing a scene during the family introduction would only make things worse.“Oh, that’s okay,” Mrs. Thompson said, her smile polite yet forced. Deep down, she couldn’t help but feel slightly offended. It didn’t make much sense to her that the bride’s father couldn’t make it to such an important occasion. Everyone else in the room had responsibilities too, but they made the effort to be present.What could be so urgent that he couldn’t spare a few hours? she wondered silently. Still, she was skilled at hiding her emotions and kept her composure for the sake of maintaining a pleasant atmosphere.“Please, have a seat,” Mrs. Thompson said, gesturing toward the chairs with a welcoming smile.“Thank you,” Sarah replied, matching her smi

“You…” Mrs. Thompson stammered, her face paling as she stared at the man standing at the door.“Hello, Mrs. Thompson. Long time no see,” the man said calmly, offering a small wave and a polite smile.“What are you doing here?” Mrs. Thompson demanded, her brows furrowing in irritation.“I’m here for the introduction you’re hosting,” the man replied smoothly, his innocent smile doing little to ease the tension that had suddenly filled the space.Mrs. Thompson’s jaw tightened, and she shifted her gaze toward the maid who was still standing by the door. “You can leave now. I’ll take it from here,” she instructed coldly.“Yes, madam,” the maid responded with a slight bow before retreating hastily, clearly sensing the brewing storm in the room.Mrs. Thompson stepped closer to the man, her voice dropping an octave as she demanded, “Don’t give me that nonsense. Nobody invited you here! What are you doing at my house?”The man didn’t flinch. Instead, his smile remained steady, unperturbed by h

Marcus couldn’t help but notice his mom’s expression throughout the meeting. Her face was stiff, her usual warmth absent. It didn’t sit right with him. She had been so excited about this wedding, thrilled to meet Lily’s family again, and now, she looked troubled.He watched her closely as she sat silently on the sofa, her gaze fixed on nothing in particular.“Mom?” Marcus called softly, breaking the silence.Mrs. Thompson slowly lifted her head to look at him. “Yes?” she replied, her tone so soft it almost cracked.“Are you okay?” Marcus asked, his brows furrowing. Her unusual behavior was starting to worry him.Mrs. Thompson nodded, but it was a mechanical motion, like she wasn’t truly present.“The wedding is in three days,” she said quietly, her voice lacking the joy and excitement she had carried through the weeks of planning. “All the preparations are ready now.”Her words felt hollow, rehearsed.Marcus leaned forward slightly, studying her face for answers, but she avoided his e

“That’s right,” Isabella muttered under her breath, her voice barely audible.Marcus’s frown deepened as he studied her. She was acting strangely—stranger than usual—and it was making him uneasy. He hated feeling unsure about anything, let alone when it involved his mother. What was going on with her?“Mom? Are you sure you’re okay?” he asked cautiously, his tone laced with genuine concern. His mother had always been strong, almost unshakable. Seeing her like this—distracted, nervous—was unnerving.“I’m fine,” Isabella said quickly, but her tone was clipped and unconvincing. She avoided his gaze, her eyes darting around the room like she was searching for an escape route.Marcus folded his arms across his chest, his unease growing by the second. “Fine” wasn’t an answer he could believe right now. He didn’t want to push her, but he couldn’t ignore how agitated she seemed.Before he could press further, Isabella finally looked at him, her expression sharp but strangely vulnerable. “We n

“We should focus on finding a solution, not wasting time on meaningless arguments!” Lily said, her tone firm as she frowned at the two of them.Austin nodded. “You’re right. That’s exactly what we should be doing,” he said, his voice calm but resolute.Sarah’s face hardened in response, but she bit back her retort. As much as she disliked admitting it, Lily had a point.After a moment, Lily turned to her father, her expression thoughtful. “Dad, do you know Mrs. Thompson from somewhere? She started acting differently the moment you showed up. There has to be a reason for that.”Austin’s expression darkened at her question, his brows furrowing deeply.Sarah seized the opportunity to press him further. “You need to tell the truth,” she said firmly, her voice cutting through the tense air. “This is about your daughter’s future. Unless, of course, you don’t want her to marry into the Thompson family.” Her gaze bore into him, daring him to deny it.The car came to a halt, interrupting the c
