Next door, Debra continued her meal at a leisurely pace, while Randy and Erica, who had been engrossed in conversation earlier, now queetly rounded on seeds.
They exchanged glances, silently acknowledging the poor soundproofing and their unexpected entertainment.
Debra felt a sense of satisfaction as she perceived the escalating tension. Had Declan come alone, Melody might have feigned kindness and engaged in polite conversation.

Mecoy’s voice was as cold as ice. Even if seyit’s not alright will be leave?
The Nichols family hed scnificant sway in Seamar City, while the Blain family was respectable. However, in terms of wealth and influence, the Blairs were much inferior.
Melody believed she had condescended to invite someone like Decian. Yet not only did he not accrecate it but he also brought Edgar along
Edger took his seet, seemingly colivious to Melody’s hostility. The dinner is cute lavish. Thank you for the hospitality, Mrs. Nichols St.
Welcoy’s retort was sharp. “It seems people from Bocton truly lack manners. I’ve heard your family is nouveau riche, which explains your behavior
