Nathan Benjamin's first wife hailed from a prestigious and wealthy family in the capital, while the background and origins of Lydia Shire were obscured. She wasn't even a figure of significance in the capital.
It was quite absurd to think that a mere artist who had spent a few years in a foreign country could rival a girl who had been nurtured in an elite and wealthy family for ages. It was either a foolish dream or a fantastical tale.
Amelia Cobb's addressing Lydia as Mrs. Benjamin almost made one burst into laughter.
Aside from that, there were very few people at the event who could offend Nathan Benjamin.
Nevertheless, there was still someone daring enough to do so, such as Christopher Robinson.
Upon Amelia's salutation to Lydia, Christopher reached out and patted Amelia on the head, his doting tone echoing in the Art Studio, "Silly girl, don't call her that."
Do you think that was it?
Hardly.
