Terrence Lentz puts on an apron and begins to cook.
Wearing an ill-fitting pink kitty apron, he looks somewhatical.
Soon, the aroma of food fills the kitchen.
The noodle soup Terrence Lentz makes tastes delicious. The topping is stir-fried wlessly, leaving an appetizing aftertaste with each bite.
Having tasted it, Vi eximed, “Your cooking skills are impable! They are something 1 could only ever envy.”
With his thin lips slightly parting, Terrence Lentz responded, “There’s no need to envy.”
His presence was enough.
After finishing their meal, Vi went to answer a phone call.
Meanwhile, Terrence Lentz began washing the dishes and tidying up the kitchen.
By the time Vi finished her call, the kitchen was already clean.
Vi was surprised, “How did you do it so quickly? I nned to do the dishes.”
“Don’t worry, there were only two tes.”
Terrence Lentz hung up the apron, “I’ll take my leave now. If anythinges up, you can call me.”
“Alright,” Vi replied, showing him to the door, “Oh, you forgot to take your suitcase.”
Terrence Lentz shed a slight smile, “That’s for you. Inside are some local products from Capital City. You can share them with your friends.”
At this, Vi remembered that she had originally nned to buy some local goods to take back before she left, but she had forgotten in the rush.
Thank god for Terrence Lentz.
Although it was a small matter, it warmed her heart.
“Thank you.”
Terrence Lentz gently ruffled her hair, a deep fondness in his eyes, “I’m leaving now.
“Take care on the road.’
After his departure, Vi called Rachel Barton toe over and pick up the local goods.
It was Sunday and Rachel had no ns, so she arrived quickly.
That night, they went out for hot pot together.
While sitting across the steaming hot pot, Rachel suggested, “Vi, let’s go shopping for clothes tomorrow. It’s been so long since Ist shopped.”
“l won’t be able to go tomorrow, I promised to attend a ssmate’s birthday party,” Vi replied.
The next day was Diana Hershey’s birthday. She and Fiona Knight had promised to go to her birthday party. They couldn’t break their promise.
“Then, how about next week?” Rachel suggested.
“Okay,” Vi nodded slightly.
Within a blink of an eye, the next day arrived.
Vi arrived at the agreed venue to meet Fiona Knight. They went to Diana Hershey’s birthday party together.
The Price family was also quite prominent locally.
Since Diana was an only daughter, her birthday needed to be a grand affair.
Diana’s parents were very friendly, and the party was extremely crowded.
This was the first time Fiona had attended such arge party since her face healed. Unustomed to the curious gazes of everyone, she tightly held on to Vi’s hand.
“That’s the Knight family’s adopted daughter, right?”
“Yes, it is.”
“Wow, she is so beautiful!”
“Who’s the girl next to her? She’s also very pretty.”
“I heard that’s the adopted daughter from the Thompson n. But, she doesn’t associate with the Thompsons anymore. Apparently, she thinks very highly of herself… ‘
Listening to these whispers, Vi kept her calm. Rather than getting angry, she reassured Fiona, “It’s okay, they’replimenting you for being pretty.” “Really?” Fiona asked uncertainly.
After all, thements she had heard the most were, “ugly girl” and “mouse “Actually, you really are beautiful.”
Hearing Vi’s words, Fiona gradually calmed down.
“Beautiful Thompson, Fiona, you two are here!” Right then, Diana Hershey walked out from inside, “Come,e on, follow me. All the people your age are over here.’
They followed Diana towards the entertainment room.
The room was full of people of Diana’s age.
Males and females.
Diana introduced them with a smile, “These are my ssmates, Vi Thompson and Fiona Knight. Beautiful Thompson, Fiona, all the people here are my rtives and close friends. Enjoy yourselves, I’m heading out for a moment.”
Vi Thompson.
Fiona Knight.
One was the adopted daughter from the Thompson’s from the countryside, the other was the disfigured ‘ugly’ girl.
Upon hearing the names, everyone began to observe the two girls, murmuring amongst themselves.
Vi gave a slight nod, “You go ahead.”
There were many recreational facilities in the room.
Fiona suggested, “Vi, let’s check out the darts over there.”
“Okay.” Vi responded with a slight nod. Near the dartboard, a girl was already ying.
A pretty girl.
Her dart throwing stance was very standard, indicating that she had received professional training.
Thump!
The dartnded perfectly in the nine point ring, barely missing the bull’s eye.
“Miss Joyce is incredible! ”
Not only is Miss Joyce beautiful, she also ys darts so beautifully.”
The room immediately burst into apuse.
Joyce raised her head slightly, catching sight of an enchanting face which instantly soured her mood.
Beautiful girls always instinctively consider prettier girls as rivals.
Who was this?
Why had she never seen her before?
Just then, a girl beside her whispered into her ear, “That’s the Thompson’s adopted daughter, Terrence Lentz’s fiancée.”
Of course, she knew about the Thompson’s adopted daughter.
The expression on Joyce’s face became mocking in an instant.
How did ite to this that the Price family’s birthday banquet was admitting all sorts of low-ss people? If she had known that a country bumpkin could attend, she wouldn’t havee.
This was simply degrading!
Fiona Knight picked up a dart and handed it to Vi, “Vi, shall we y some darts?”
“Sure,” Vi nodded slightly. It was just the right time, as she hadn’t yed in a while.
Just then, Joyce looked at Vi and spoke in a sarcastically, “Darts isn’t as simple as throwing stones. You country folks may have never seen it before, right? Be careful not to identally break something, because you won’t be able to afford it.’
At this, everyone in the room burst intoughter.
“The Price family really doesn’t know how to organize a party anymore. They let everyone in, regardless of their status,” one girl with short hair looked at Vi, continuing, “Miss Thompson, I think you should just put down the dart and go y with the mud instead.”
Fiona was livid. “Who says Vi can’t y darts? You all are just a group of snobs!”
Joyce directed a challenging look at Vi, “Since Miss Thompson can y, how about a match? The loser will do a striptease as a bonus performance.. How about it?”
