Madam Moreland turned her head and started chatting with Mrs. Davies about interesting anecdotes from her trip to Switzerland in her youth. Everyone in the living room was talking and laughing, ignoring Lynette Moreland's protest. Although she was fuming, she had to maintain a composed and ladylike smile.
Mia Moreland was overjoyed and took the initiative to chat with Max Davies, acting as if he were truly her own brother-in-law.
Max didn't speak much, but he didn't make Mia feel awkward either. His voice was deep, resonating like a drum in Lynette Moreland's ears, causing her to feel restless. She turned to glare fiercely at Mia, who returned her gaze with a bright smile.
At dinner, Madam Moreland deliberately seated Lynette and Max together. Lynette tried to get several people to switch seats with her, but no one agreed. Finally, her gaze landed on Amelia Clarke, who had a gentle smile.
