Chapter 216

Author: Cloud Drop
The people inside were all familiar to her—Robert Duncan, Grace Chancer, and beside them sat Archer, smoking with his pale, long fingers holding the cigarette with his usual elegance, ignoring the somewhat displeased expression of Benjamin Williams across from him as he continued to exhale smoke leisurely.

Across from them sat Benjamin Williams and Sandra Peterson, her uncle and aunt, with her cousin Kandice Williams sitting next to them, positioned directly across from Archer. The smoke Archer exhaled was affecting Kandice the most.

Actually, Archer had just arrived. Anticipating that today's dinner would be unusual, he had deliberately kept everyone waiting and arrived late. When he saw Benjamin's family, he raised an eyebrow, immediately understanding the situation.

Without a word, he sat down, offered no apology, and directly lit a cigarette. If it had been anyone else, the three people across from him would have probably exploded by now, but unfortunately it was Archer doing th

    Kandice gritted her teeth and followed behind Archer as well.Archer continued trailing Aria all the way to the entrance of Grandview, standing on the front steps while watching her wave for a taxi.Somehow, fine rain began to fall from the sky, pattering down steadily as the temperature dropped. Kandice wore only a thin dress and wanted to go back inside, but with Archer still standing there, she decided not to leave. The cold was making her shiver all over.She rubbed her arms and glanced up at Archer beside her, but he didn't even look at her."Archer, aren't you going back inside?" Kandice finally couldn't help herself, her voice trembling as she spoke."I'm having a smoke outside," Archer replied—a rare response from him. "If you're cold, go inside."It was raining—why smoke out here? Couldn't he smoke inside?Kandice felt exasperated but didn't dare ask, afraid of losing Archer's favor and ruining her chances of marrying into the Duncan family.Standing at the roadside, A

    Standing in the corridor outside Aria's private dining room, Archer still had a cigarette between his lips, his head tilted downward as smoke drifted upward, gradually obscuring his eyes.Archer squinted through the haze and sent Aria a text message: "Come out. I'm waiting outside your room."But again, there was no response.Archer remained in the corridor for a full fifteen minutes. Having finished his cigarette, his eyes narrowed dangerously as he contemplated how to draw Aria out. Just as he retrieved his phone to send another message, he heard the distinct "click" of a door opening across the hall.Looking up, he saw the door swing open.Archer was about to speak when his lips pressed into a tight line, his gaze fixed on the emerging figures.It wasn't just Aria—behind her came James in his wheelchair and Rachel.Aria hadn't finally decided to see him; rather, the family had simply finished their meal and was preparing to leave.James and Rachel had thoroughly enjoyed thei

    At the mention of Aria, Grace couldn't help but glance behind Fifi, but Aria had long since disappeared.She sighed wistfully. She was still somewhat worried that her son might develop feelings for Aria.Anyone else would be acceptable, but not Aria—after all, she was divorced.Considering how Kandice bore some resemblance to Aria, and knowing Archer's preference for that type, perhaps he really would be drawn to Kandice.Seeing Grace lost in thought, Fifi made an excuse and left.Grace returned to the private room. She hadn't noticed while sitting inside, but coming in from the corridor, she realized the room was thick with cigarette smoke, making it particularly stifling.Grace frowned at Archer, who was clearly being deliberately provocative. Unable to restrain herself, she said, "Archer, please put out that cigarette. It's suffocating in here. Look how hazy the room has become."Archer held the cigarette between his long fingers, parted his lips to exhale a perfect smoke rin

    "Miss Chancer speaks so crudely, and in a place like Grandview no less. Aren't you afraid of being overheard?" Aria looked at her coldly, her hands hidden in her skirt already clenched into trembling fists.She had already registered her marriage with Archer, and he had taken her to the old mansion on the very day they got their certificate. She understood and trusted him not to do such despicable things, but Fifi's confident words still made her deeply uncomfortable, as if something was gnawing at her heart, causing sharp pain."Heh, I speak to different people differently. When facing a slut, I'm afraid even if I spoke nicely, you wouldn't understand!" Fifi crossed her arms over her chest, looking Aria up and down with disdain."Seeing you suddenly reminds me—my cousin's blind date today is with Miss Williams, who seems to be a relative from your mother's side! Kandice Williams, isn't she your cousin?"Ever since the Jackson family went bankrupt, Rachel's relatives had been afrai

    Grandview's service had always been excellent, so even though the manager was particularly respectful to Aria, it didn't arouse suspicion from James or Rachel.When the dishes were served, Rachel could estimate the prices from what she saw. After the waitstaff left, she couldn't help but feel distressed again. Only after Aria repeatedly assured her that she could really afford it and that Larry had provided substantial compensation did Rachel stop worrying.Though she voiced concern, Rachel and James were genuinely happy eating.The two hadn't properly enjoyed themselves in years. They used to dine at Grandview without a care, but now they had to worry about prices, which made Aria's heart ache.Now tasting those familiar flavors and feelings again, James and Rachel's faces showed both nostalgia and melancholy.Aria couldn't help thinking of Archer, feeling grateful for his thoughtfulness.Yes, it was Archer who had given her a supplementary card.Thinking of this, Aria felt war
