It was Louisa!
She had just returned home with Kenneth after bidding farewell to their guests when she caught sight of her son and Kelly in a tiff–both unexpected and delightful, she couldn't contain her joy.
"So you and David are in a relationship."
Louisa was ecstatic, quickly reaching for Kelly's hand and exclaiming, "You've kept this a secret so well, child. At Rose's homecoming banquet, I asked if you had a boyfriend, and you told me no."
"Uh, Auntie." Kelly knew this misunderstanding had gone too far, and she tried to pull her hand away, but to no avail.
"I understand, you must have been thinking of David, knowing he's under a confidentiality agreement.
You'd rather take the hit yourself than let him breach it and pay the penalty."
Kelly was still trying to withdraw her hand.
