None of them had eaten well, including Cynthia, who was not a picky eater. As they reached the end, everyone had put down their utensils, which was the most crucial moment of the meal Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Jonathan sat beside Mandy, feeling somewhat uncomfortable. Then, he glanced at Cynthia and Shirley, asking, “Regarding the marriage registration with Mandy, what do you think?”
“I have no objections, Shirley casually replied.
Over the past two years, Jonathan had introduced her to Mandy, and she knew that Mandy was a kind person who treated her with gentleness and patience. Not only that, but she even cooked delicious food for her, giving her a motherly feeling.
If Jonathan were to be with her, it should be fine.
Upon receiving the answer, Jonathan turned his gaze to Cynthia.
“Cyn, what about you?”
“I have a question for Madam Quinn,” Cynthia’s formal address created a sense of distance.
Mandy’s face softened. “Ask away.”
“Do you know my mom?” Cynthia’s clear eyes stared directly at her, the question piercing
Jonathan froze.
Shirley also looked puzzled
However, Mandy shook her head gently. “She doesn’t know me, but I have heard about her.”
Cynthia’s eyes revealed a hint of emotion, but she concealed it well, and no one noticed anything unusual. Finally, Shirley leaned closer and whispered, “Cyn, what’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing.” Cynthia’s tone remained calm.
The atmosphere in the private room suddenly became heavy and stifling, as it half the air had been sucked out in an instant.
“What…about the marriage registration? Jonathan asked, his voice filled with nervousness.
He was panicking!
Cynthia’s obvious displeasure made him anxious.
“I don’t agree.” Cynthia loclood eyes with hirn, her gaze firm. She did not beat around the bush and added, “But if you insist on getting married to her, I won’t be able to stop you.”
After speaking, she glanced toward Mandy
Mandy’s a gradually dimmed, but she still forced a smile and reassured Jonathan, “It’s okay, whether we register or not, it doesn’t matter. Let’s not ake it difficult for the children.”
Jonathan’s joy suddenly plummeted to rock batton. After careful consideration, he still looked at Cynthia and asked, “Can I ask why?”
“There’s no reason. I simply don’t like her,” Cynthia said bluntly for the first time, even abandoning her usual etiquette.
As soon as these words were uttered, an alarm bell rang loudly in Shirley’s mind!
Cynthia would never target someone sa openly. Even if she disliked them, she would only be cold and distant, gooting them. However, it was different today. Hence, something must have touched a nerve in
Cyntisia regarding Mandy.
“Cyn..” Jonathan frowned slightly, feeling slightly displeased.
He did not expect things to turn out this way.
Jonathan knew Cynthia would not be unreasonable, and he knew she would not act without reason. However, her blunt
comments made it hard for him.
No matter what, Mandy was his current partner.
Cynthia sensed his emotional change and did not want to stay there for another moment.
“I have something to attend to, so I’m leaving. You can continue.”
“I have something too!” Shirley followed Cynthia and ran out
Only Jonathan and Mandy remained in the private room, both silent and not saying a word.
Mandy felt a sense of disappointment and desolation, but she quickly composed herself and forced a nonchalant tone, saying. “The kids have lett. Let’s leave too.”
Jonathan’s face was filled with complexity. “Mandy…”
“It’s alright. If my dad had suddenly brought a new person into my life when I was young, I wouldn’t have been able to accept it either. 1 understand,” Mandy reassured him.
