Chapter 23 New Misunderstandings

• Liam
• I'm trying to focus on work, but the memories of the weekend won't leave me alone. Even in the office, I can't stop thinking... about Cecilia. My wife. After much reflection, I've concluded that my father's birthday party was a complete disaster, but I admit it could have been worse. I consider myself lucky for some small reliefs amid the chaos.
• Leila didn't cause major problems after finding out I was married, and my father, despite everything, maintained composure in front of the guests, which was a positive. The arrival of my mother was providential, preventing my father from crossing the line in an attempt to humiliate Cecilia. Reflecting on an attempt to humiliate Cecilia seems surreal when my father managed to do just that with a few words. I feel the heat of anger again as I recall that moment.
