Nobody at the Lin table was smiling. Sure, most of them were clapping, yet their pursed lips told a thousand words than the heart-wrenching speech Henry Lin had given.
"What the heck," Eli uttered whilst clapping. He then half smiled and half winced when Auntie Martha stomped on his foot under the table.
Plastering a forced smile on her face, Auntie Martha turned her head to warn Eli. "Watch your mouth, Eli."
"Whaaat? I didn't know we have twins in the family. Mother, tonight's also your chance to reveal my hidden twin." Eli shrugged.
His comment earned a smile from Grandma and Auntie Martha. Across from them, Ava covered her lips with a napkin to hide the smile on her face.
Just as Henry was walking closer to their table, the Lin Family's attention turned to Alexa whose head was slightly bowed.
"If you'll excuse me," Alexa uttered, her eyes were glassy as she asked for Grandma Lin's permission.
