In the evening, when Trenton Smith walked downstairs, he could already sense the lively atmosphere in the dining room.
Even the usually cold-faced Nakamura was smiling unexpectedly, and Rufus Swallow stood in front of her, engaging in animated conversation with her.
Norris Moore stood by Rufus's side, holding his arm, her smile calm and light. It seemed as if she had seen Trenton approaching, she glanced at him briefly and then slipped behind Rufus to hide from view.
Trenton raised an eyebrow as he strolled in, and Liam Swallow, who had been standing outside of the crowd with a gloomy expression, came over and whispered, "Come with me."
Trenton stopped, glanced down at his uncle, then looked up at Norris not far away.
She hid behind Rufus, secretly looking at him. When she saw him looking back at her, she quickly averted her eyes.
Trenton lowered his eyes and chuckled softly, following Liam out of the room.
