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.

    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

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.

    Hearing Yvonne calling her "Mommy" after such a long time, Talia's body froze for a moment. But when she returned to herself, she still forced out a smile. She said, "It's nothing.
