But people would have to move forward, and we should live well for those who were still here.


    I guess they didn''t expect me to suddenly tease them like that. Both Antoine and L''s faces instantly turned bright red,


    "Eve, you''ve changed! Now you''re making fun of me?"

    L blushed shyly and nced at Antoine. As they exchanged looks, the happiness in their eyes rippled softly like gentle waves on the w


    The house, which had been cold and quiet since Grandma''s passing, seemed to fill with a warm glow. Watching the two of them, I couldn''t help but smile. I could feel some of the heaviness in my heart lifting. "Hey, Eve, you''re smiling!" L eximed, mudging Antoine with her elbow, signaling him to look


    Antoine nced dup, his eyes resting on my face as he sighed in relief, "Yeah, Eve, you''re finally smiling."


    "Exactly, you haven''t smiled in days, and we..." L choked up, her eyes suddenly reddening as she turned away, unable to finish her sentence.


    Seeing her like this, a wave of guilt rose in my chest, I had been in a bad ce these past few days, and they''d been walking on eggshells around me. Now that they''d seen me smile, I guess they could finally rxa bit.


    Thinking about this, I deliberately widened my smile and reached over to put some food on L''s te. "It''s a good thing that I''m happy, right? Why are you crying?


    "Yes, you''te night,


    ght, we should be happy," L said, though her eyes were still red,


    She quickly turned her head and shed me a big smile. "Eve, we really should be happy. Now that the person who killed your grandmother has been found, when the triales, we''ll put her in jail and get justice for your grandmother. That''s something to celebrate, isn''t it?"


    She was right. Only by putting Leah behind bars could Grandma rest in peace, and I could find some peace too.


    The smile on my face faded a little.


    "By the way, Eve, did thewyer mention when the trial will be?" Antoine asked, looking at me.


    I replied, "The 20th of this month."


    "That''s only ten days from now, isn''t it?" L counted on her fingers, and when she realized the date, her eyebrows shot up in excitement. Antoine looked relieved as well. Inodded, "That''s right."


    In ten days, Leal would finally face the consequences of her actions.


    But none of us expected things to change so quickly.


    Before we even mashed the meal, my phone started ringing. I picked it up and nced at the screen, and an uneasy feeling


    up in my chest


    I must have hesitated too long because L and Antoine noticed something was off. They both set down their spoons and looked at me with concern. "Eve, who''s calling?


    saw the worry in their eyes. For a moment, I froze, realizing my mood was affecting them, I quickly adjusted my expression and answered, "It''s the

    "Thewyer? Antoine tilted his head, exchanging a nce with L.Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    Then they both tuned to me " "Why''s the Lawyer calling?"


    "I don''t know." I tightened my grip on the phone, trying to sound casual to suppress the growing unease in my chest. "Maybe it''s something good. Let''s hear what they have to say." "Right, pick up! Put it on speaker so we can all hear


    L and Antoine got up. They pulled chairs next to me and sat down.
