"Lili, what are you standing there for? Come here!" a woman beckoned to her.
Lilliath froze at the sight of the woman. The woman was clearly her mother, and Lilliath walked over in a slight daze.
"Come on, say hello to Auntie Laura." The woman hinted at Lilliath with her eyes.
"Good evening, Auntie Laura!" Lilliath performed a slightly awkward noble salute. She had not been to such parties for more than half a year. Hence, her movements were slightly awkward.
The woman called Laura did not look too pleased. She exchanged a few pleasantries with Lilliath's mother and turned away.
