Bryan Kirk, who was beside Yvette Pratt, looked nonchalant, chewing gum with his hands in his pockets, constantly checking his watch, and seeming impatient with the funeral...
On the other hand, Lana Kirk kept glancing at Grace Gordon, as if she had something to say, but she never found a chance to talk to her.
Shane Sim, standing at the back, found it somewhat amusing.
After the funeral, Grace Gordon stood there to see off all the guests.
Yvette Pratt said to Grace, "Grace... You and your brother should come to live with our family. I heard... the Gordon Estate will be sold, and besides... neither of you are considered part of the Gordon family. Those people won't let you stay."
Grace's hand was interlocked with Ian's. She calmly replied, "No need for that. We're both grown-ups now, capable of taking care of ourselves... Going to the Kirk family would mean living under other people's roof... If they asked us to do something, we'd have no choice but to obey."
