“Friends? They’re all Stella’s friends. What does that have to do with me? Even if I ran naked, no one would look at me.”
His expression darkened instantly.
“Are you still angry? Is this never-ending? I’ve explained it to you hundreds of times. You were the one who was late and made the relatives wait. I politely let them go home, wasn’t it just to give you a way out.”
“Give me a way out? Or give you and Stella a chance to kiss? You’ve been waiting for this day for so long, haven’t you? It must have been tough.”
I snorted coldly and Theo’s eyes turned red with anger.
Just as he was about to speak, Stella walked up from behind, holding my mother-in-law’s hand.
“Adele? Didn’t I tell you to rest today? Why did you come?”
Barbara rolled her eyes.
“At least you showed up. You’re busier than the president of the United Nations!”
“If it weren’t for Theo suggesting we change it to Stella’s birthday party, the money we spent on the hotel would have gone down the drain!”
“You left so early but were the last one to arrive. Those who know say you took a taxi and those who don’t think you took the kids to the afterlife!”
