Staring at Taylor, the initial shock in Queen's gaze gradually gave way to a flicker of joy—one she hadn't even noticed herself.
Equally stunned were the other key players in this drama: Harrison and Juliet.
Especially Juliet.
She studied Taylor once more, this time with far greater scrutiny than before.
The longer she looked, the more complicated the emotions in her eyes became.
Wasn't it said that Taylor was a frail, sickly man?
Even if his health had improved recently, it shouldn't have recovered to this extent—so much so that not a trace of illness remained.
Harrison, on the other hand, felt nothing but awkwardness.
Though the switch in his fiancée had been arranged discreetly between the two families, the fact that he had once been engaged to Queen was hardly a secret.
If Taylor had wanted to dig into it, it wouldn't have been difficult.
For a moment, silence fell over everyone.
The air grew heavier, almost suffocating.
