The day Scarlett had been eagerly anticipating had finally arrived.
Tonight, she will be having dinner with Theodor's family.
Her nerves were on edge, knowing that she would be meeting Theodor's mother, Melinda Gilwynn, who also happened to be Roland Gilwynn's younger sister.
Scarlett's anxiety increased as their car drew closer to Theodor's parents' residence.
She attempts to distract her mind with other thoughts. Still, the worry of being recognized and negatively judged by Melinda Gilwynn haunts her mind, tormenting her.
'Gosh, how exhausted!'
Again, she secretly took a deep breath, trying to relieve the tightness in her chest.
Beside her, Xander raised an eyebrow as he observed Scarlett's worried expression. Without hesitation, he reached for her hand and gently squeezed it.
"Babe, why do you look so tense?" Xander gently asks her, his eyes locked with hers, hoping to calm her.
