Congratulations, Your Long-Awaited Wish Has Finally Come True
Joe walked in somewhat awkwardly, nodding slightly. "Uncle, Auntie."
Seeing his appearance, it was clear he had overheard their previous conversation. But Naomi's mother showed no embarrassment about being eavesdropped on. Instead, she looked straight at Joe with confidence. "Why have you come?"
"My grandfather said he's been feeling unwell recently and may not be able to attend our engagement ceremony with Naomi..."
At these words, Naomi's mother gave John a meaningful glance. Her eyes seemed to say, 'See, I was right all along.'
John's face visibly darkened. "Joe, your engagement with Naomi is not a trivial matter. If Old Master Louise can't come in person, it will be a loss of face for all of us."
If news of this got out, the Sweeney family would face ridicule behind their backs.
Joe pursed his lips, unsure of how to explain.
