The last time he'd said those things in his bedroom, she hadn't taken any of it seriously.

Back then, he had been drunk out of his mind. She had thought that a few of his words were true.

Henry, Jerry, Paige, and the nurses surrounded her, but Quentin was nowhere to be seen.Her mind felt foggy, and she quickly fell back asleep. She didn't fully wake until 2:00 pm.The moment she opened her eyes, she felt sharp pain radiating from her leg. She instinctively frowned.Then she heard concerned voices beside her. "Talia, how are you feeling?""Talia, does the incision hurt? If it does, I can increase your pain medication."It was Paige and Henry. Quentin's voice was absent. Talia glanced around again.Disappointment washed over her, but she still managed to smile at them.

    Cecilia noticed Connor's reaction and asked curiously, "You know her?"Connor didn't hide it. "Yeah."Cecilia looked between Connor and Nancy.Connor's eyes were fixed on Nancy. In front of everyone, he unconsciously picked up some food and placed it on Nancy's plate.Cecilia leaned in and whispered, "Connor, something's off with you.""What's off?""Since when are you this nice to the ladies?"Connor put some food on Cecilia's plate, too. "Just eat your food. Maybe it'll keep your mouth busy."From beginning to end, Christian never once looked after Nancy. They acted like complete strangers.Cecilia was curious and leaned closer to Connor. "Connor, tell me, are you..."Before she could finish speaking, Connor snapped. "Cecilia, are you annoying or what? Why are you acting like such a nag?"Connor's accusation was blunt, leaving Cecilia stunned.Seeing the two about to argue, Christian slammed his utensils down. He looked up at both of them, then said sharply, "Eat."Neith

    William played peacemaker. After a round of toasts, Millie stopped talking.Julian didn't say much either. Once he sat back down, he kept his head down, focused on his phone.William glanced over to see what he was doing, but Julian hid his phone against his chest and scoffed. "Eat your food. Why are you watching me text the ladies?"Although Julian sounded confident, William sensed that he was hiding something. But since Julian clearly didn't want to share, William didn't press.Halfway through the meal, new guests arrived at the Lane residence.A maid escorted the guest to the party and said to Margaret, "Ma'am, another guest has arrived."Margaret was drinking with someone.

    Before Margaret could refuse, Millie turned to Eliza and called out loudly, "Eliza, you must be thrilled to have me sit next to you, right?"Eliza didn't know whether to smile or not, especially with everyone's eyes on her.Left with no choice, she forced a smile. "Of course. Come sit. I'd be delighted to have you next to me."Millie took a seat anyway, ignoring Eliza's reluctance. She had come uninvited that night with no good intentions.If the people who had looked down on her and bullied her daughter-in-law were miserable, then she was happy.After Millie sat, Margaret went to greet other guests, but before turning away, she shot Eliza a meaningful look. Eliza caught Margaret's signal and nodded.Millie noticed their exchange. Once the meal began, Eliza spoke casually. "Millie, you look beautiful today. If I didn't know better, I'd think you were the birthday girl."Millie wasn't surprised at all. She smiled at Eliza. "That brain surgery really did wonders for you, Eliza. Yo

"Eliza, are you feeling better?"Eliza smiled and placed her hand on Margaret's. "Yes, much better."Margaret said, "Oh, I feel terrible making you come all this way.. How can I accept this?"Eliza turned to look at Julian. "Julian, give Margaret the gift we brought."Julian handed the gift to Margaret. "Happy birthday, Margaret."Margaret's face lit up with a smile. "Thank you, Julian. You and your mother should take your seats. I'll join you both after I finish greeting the guests."Julian nodded. "Margaret, carry on. Mom and I will head inside."Margaret nodded and called a maid to escort them in. William arrived soon after.

    Talia finally looked away and went back to staring at the ceiling.Just then, Quentin's phone rang.The room was quiet, so she heard the man on the other end say, "Mr. Henderson, everything's ready. Should I bring it up?"Quentin replied, "Yeah.""Which room?" the man asked."Just call me when

    When Paige said that, she deliberately glanced at Talia, who was leaning against the headboard. It was obvious that she'd said that line on purpose.Talia heard it, but she pretended she hadn't.
