Stanley gave his handkerchief to Veronica who took it and dabbed her cheeks.

Back then, Tuesday Palmer had looked this pitiful as well when she tried to cling to Morris.

Veronica smiled in relief.

“Ah.. Lucas, these bags are getting too heavy for me. Could you take these to the car first?” Emma suddenly turned to Lucas and handed her the handbag and a gift bag.

“Sure. Then I’ll go first.” He nodded to Stanley briefly and left.

Veronica’s eyes flashed, staring at Lucas’s retreating back.

Emma saw this. ‘I was right.’

“Ah! It’s getting rather late. You both have a great evening. Happy holidays again.” Emma smiled.
