Chapter 175 I’ll Just Listen to It

• Everyone else was still laughing, but only Claude’s face clouded over. As a result, the atmosphere became awkward for a few seconds. Fortunately, Rosalind, who had always been smooth and suave, saved everyone from embarrassment with a smile before Claude blew his top. “Claude can’t be blamed for this. We can’t meddle in the kids’ affairs nowadays, can we?”
• The guests present were all sophisticated, so how could they not tell that not everyone in this family agreed on this? Besides, they were afraid that it would look bad if a commotion broke out at the scene, so they evaded the topic by agreeing with Rosalind’s words again and again.
• After that, some of them came back to the topic by bantering with Christopher in an avuncular tone, joking that they had no opportunity to give their wedding presents as he didn’t even hold a wedding. Christopher responded by passing the buck to Diane, saying she liked to keep a low profile and wanted to get married in secret, so he went along with her as a henpecked husband. He said this with an affectionate expression, whereas Diane felt as though thousands of horses were galloping in her heart; she wished she could seal his mouth with an adhesive tape to stop him from shooting his mouth off. He’s the kind of person who’s great at telling lies, she thought to herself.
