Just then, Cecilia Adler walked into the courtyard, brushing the snow from her clothes.
She closed the door and hurried inside.
'So cold.'
'Looks like I won't be able to set up my stall tomorrow.'
"Where have you been off to now?" Lucas demanded, his face cold.
Cecilia answered calmly, "Ian took me to see the new house his parents prepared for our marriage. We stayed there for a while."
Vivian Lee exclaimed in shock, "What? A new house?"
'How is that possible?'
'She didn't even get one back then!'
May Sutton anxiously pressed, "What kind of new house?"
"It was assigned by my father-in-law's work unit. It's a two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment, and it's quite nice inside."
A pang of jealousy shot through May's chest. A two-bedroom apartment, just for the young couple to live in.
She couldn't help but picture her own daughter living such a comfortable life.
But no, her infuriating daughter was stubborn and had terrible judgment.
