Amber Wood deliberately slowed her pace. After what happened just now, she didn't want to rush out and meet those onlookers again. Putting aside the embarrassment for a moment, the key issue was that there might be some familiar faces among those guests.
Should she speak to the acquaintances outside? The situation just now left her feeling both angry and extremely embarrassed.

When the couple reached the door, they heard the sound of a car engine starting outside. Their pace finally picked up slightly, but they still managed to maintain a controlled walking speed.
Alice and Lily Turner, waiting outside, had no clue about the situation. As Charles and Amber remained inside for an extended time, both sisters wore expressions of confusion.
