Chapter 16 Dinner

• The day had arrived. That evening, the atmosphere at William's parents' house was tense but full of anticipation. The lights inside the house cast a warm glow through the windows, creating moving shadows on the outer walls.
• Inside, Lina was busy directing the household staff to set the dining table. "Place those flowers in the center of the table, and make sure all the dinnerware is clean and neat," she instructed with a firm yet caring tone. The staff moved quickly, following Lina's instructions with precision.
• William stood near the entrance, his eyes constantly glancing toward the front door. His face showed a mix of anxiety and hope. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself.
