Chris Bluen quickly nodded with a smile and pulled Scarlett Taylor to sit down on the sofa.
"Madam," Chris and his wife greeted the old lady with a smile. Although the Horne and Bluen families had finally become in-laws, Ruby's return had once again raised unresolved issues back to the surface, waiting to be dealt with.

Mila Anderson sat back on the sofa with a look of outrage. Sitting next to Gian Horne, her fiery eyes were fixed fiercely on Ruby, making Ruby feel uncomfortable all over, as if her whole body was pricked with thorns. She had been prepared for their anger. It was she who had wronged Glades, and they had the right to be angry with her.
