"Since Elias has been rescued, our family doesn't owe him any favors anymore, right?" Mike said with an indifferent expression. "If you ask me, we should stay out of this mess. Let's just head home after dawn to avoid any more trouble."
As the discussion among those around him grew, Joe suddenly asked, "What about the family head? What does she think?"
Such matters were best decided by the family head, Isabella.
"You better not disturb her," Mike said with a hint of jest, glancing towards a spot. "The lady of the house is busy right now."
Monica also looked in that direction and rolled her eyes dramatically.
"Yeah, busy falling in love..."
Under the night sky, a couple, long unseen, were cozily together. Monica watched the two chatting and laughing, and she made a face of disgust.
"Tsk tsk..."
"They're practically glued together, isn't that sickening..."
