Eva Ronan walked forward with her back straight.
Because of Max Shaw's position, sitting on the sofa closest to the entrance hall, she had to pass in front of him as she walked deeper inside.
Then, the woman who was walking confidently suddenly tripped for no reason, and her whole body fell uncontrollably to the right.
"Eva..."
"Big sister..."
Elaine Ruane and Lucy Ansley exclaimed in unison, both about to rush over to catch her.
In the next moment, accompanied by a man's muffled groan, the world turned silent.
Eva Ronan was even more stunned into inaction, forgetting any reaction.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law opposite exchanged a silent glance, then Elaine Ruane gripped Lucy Ansley's wrist and led her toward the dining room, "Anna, want some lemonade?"
Lucy Ansley nodded mechanically, "Sure."
In the blink of an eye, the two had retreated into the dining room for lemonade.
Meanwhile, Eva... was still sitting in Max Shaw's lap, dazed, gazing at the man.
