Rina stood frozen, her grip on her son was incredibly tight, and her mind raced with anxiety as she hugged Venedict.
The intensity of the embrace seemed to convey her unspoken fear of the situation.
Noticing Rina's overwhelming reaction, Venedict couldn't help but wonder if his mom was being confronted or ganged up on by some of the people they had just met at the wedding.
"Mom, are you okay? Are they fighting with you?" Venedict asked with concern, but Rina remained silent.
Instead, she swiftly looked at Denise, signaling for them to leave.
"Denise, let's go home," she said to Denise while avoiding eye contact with the Reymundo family.
"Okay let's leave, since that would be better, right David?" Denise agreed with Rina and then looked at David, who didn't even respond to her.
On their side, David remained serious, seemingly uncomfortable with the unfolding situation, particularly with the arrival of the Reymundo family.
