Originally, Thomas Smith loved to run around everywhere, but feeling the solemn atmosphere, especially the cold-faced Henry Thomson opposite him, he obediently sat on the sofa between his mom and Robert Thomson, with his little hands resting quietly on his knees, not speaking a word.
Finally, it was Robert Thomson who broke the silence: "Uncle, Aunt, I have thought about it, and I want to marry Emma."
They had already anticipated this news, especially since they had heard him say it on the phone the night before. However, Robert hadn't gone into much detail then.
But seeing Emma's appearance and the way she held little Tommy, Henry Thomson felt a darkening pressure between his brows. He rubbed his temples, about to speak, when Sofia Anderson beside him spoke first: "Hold out your hand."
Her gaze was fixed on Emma, and Emma, puzzled, pointed to herself: "Me?"
Seeing the person across nod, she asked again: "Left or right hand?"
