But the neighbor seemed like he didn’t hear at all, instead he laughed. even more, with a gleam of gossip in his eyes.
“Oh, come on, don’t be shy about it! This is a great opportunity! Mr. Howland, a young professor like him, is a rare find! He came to see you today, just play along. If you let this great opportunity slip away, you’ll have nowhere to cry!”
In her opinion, Lizzie was just being a bit too much, “What’s the big deal about taking care of her deceased brother’s fiancee a little more?”
Lizzie had heard too many of these kinds of words in her past life, her face darkened..
Explanation was on the tip of her tongue, but Glenna hesitated, took a half step forward, and shielded Lizzie behind her.
“Don’t spread rumors! Who would marry a man who can’t make up his mind!”
“I heard everything!” The man had a look of “you can’t hide anything from me“.
Glenna frowned, but the person misunderstood.
“Glenna, are you afraid that I’ll eat and drink for free at your banquet and take advantage of you?”
wedding
Lizzie looked at the increasingly grim situation in front of her. If she kept explaining, she would only believe what she guessed. At times like this, denial is often taken as acceptance.

She said bluntly, “Cecilin, the date is set.”
Glenna’s eyes popped out, “What did you agree to?” Lizzie, come on, how could you agree to that!
Cecilia’s eyes lit up immediately, leaning forward slightly, she had definitely hit the jackpot!
Lizzie nodded heavily and said seriously, “Yeah, we decided to set the date on February 31st next year. I heard that day is really lucky, like once in a millennium kind of auspicious day. Everything will go smoothly on that day.”
“Wow! Mr. Howland picked such a great day, he really values you!”
Lizzie chuckled, “Yeah.”
Cecilia heard the gossip she wanted, so she immediately opened up. She wanted to quickly share the big gossip that “Lizzie is going to marry Mr. Howland” with others.
She didn’t even realize that the date itself doesn’t exist!
I didn’t even think about it. Since it’s next year’s wedding, why did they rush Katherine, who is in the countryside, to come back now?
That person left, and the three of us finally had some peace and quiet.
Even just now, Emery could tell that something was wrong with Katherine, and it weighed heavily on his mind.
At that moment, hearing Cecilia being so easily fooled by Lizzie, Cecilia couldn’t help but twitch her mouth slightly. She almost burst out laughing.
Glenna, who hadn’t realized what was happening at that moment, wanted to catch up with Cecilia to set things straight and stop her from
spreading rumors.
Emery acted quickly, grabbing her and whispering something in her
car.
“Go home.”
Glenna, who had spent most of her life with him, immediately sensed a hint of difference in his brief words.
Glenna’s heart skipped a beat, looking at Emery in disbelief.
Emery gave her hand a hard tug and the three of them quickly walked back.
When I got home, the door “slammed” shut, blocking out the noise from outside.
Colton dashed out and exclaimed happily, “You’re back so soon? Why didn’t you chat with Katherine a bit more?”
Although the phone bill was expensive, when something so big happened, Glenna’s personality would definitely have a few more words for Katherine.
Without responding to him, Emery turned around and the worries that had been suppressed outside just now resurfaced.
He looked at Lizzie with a serious expression and asked, “Lizzie, did you hear anything?”
Glenna was also affected by the tense atmosphere at that moment, her eyes fixed on Lizzie, wanting to ask a question but feeling her throat tighten, unable to get a word out.
Lizzie sighed, she was originally planning to quietly get things done, didn’t want her parents to worry.

After all, Katherine is far away in the countryside, even if they knew, they couldn’t help for the time being. they could only worry.
Just now on the phone, Katherine’s voice sounded off, she couldn’t hide it at all.
Can’t hide it now, so just emphasize it.
Glenna took a deep breath, went from extreme joy to sadness, and almost passed out.
She stumbled, Colton quickly came over, Emery also reached out at the same time, the two of them quickly supported her, one on the left and one on the right.
“Glenna, don’t worry, things weren’t as bad as you thought.”
Glenna’s eyes turned red in an instant,
turned red in an instant, “How could I not be anxious…”
Emery also chimed in. “If Katherine can still answer the phone, it means she’s safe. Don’t worry, just let Lizzie finish talking first.”
