“Sorry, I’ll next time…” Dorothy paused for a moment, then suddenly realized that there wouldn’t be a next time, and immediately corrected herself, “There won’t be a next time.”
“Are you expecting there to be a next time?” Soniayn was furious and didn’t care anymore. “How can Aliyah look at me when you can’t even manage your own daughter–in–law properly?”
“Mom, why were you so angry today?”
Dwayne walked into the living room at a leisurely pace.
Dorothy looked at him, her brows furrowed.
“Are you really asking?” Soniayn even cursed at him, “Are you deliberately trying to provoke me?”
“It’s just some unethical media writing things to attract attention,” Dwayne stopped beside Dorothy, holding her arm and pulling her into his arms, “I’m not even angry, why are you angry?”
Dorothy stiffened and pushed him subconsciously, but he remained unmoved.
Soniayn looked at him meaningfully, then turned to Dorothy. After a moment, she sat back on the sofa and poured herself a cup of tea, “If it weren’t for fear of your grandmother’s reprimand, I wouldn’t bother with you guys.”
Dwayne put his arm around Dorothy’s shoulder and said, “Then we’ll be leaving first.”
“Hurry up and get lost,” Soniayn said without even looking up.
Dwayne left with Dorothy.
Soniayn slowly raised her eyes, set down the teacup, and her expression became puzzled and complex.
She was starting to feel unsure about her son’s attitude towards Dorothy now…
The moment Dorothy walked out of the villa, she immediately broke free from Dwayne’s embrace.
Watching the sudden loss of warmth in his arms, Dwayne’s gaze fixed on her profile, deep to the extreme.
“Please let me know in advance, Mr. Lambert, if you want me to act along with you in front of the elders. I don’t want any unnecessary misunderstandings.”
She had just left.
Dwayne grabbed her wrist and gently pulled her, forcing her to turn to face him, “Don’t you want to avoid any misunderstandings?”
