In the warm room, Lance and Mayor Williams sat on the edge of the sofa, Arthur stood before them with his head bowed.
Everyone has had many events in the past few days, and once they concluded, Mayor Williams invited Lance for a meal at his home, a standard family dinner.
Patricia went to accompany Emily, who was showing signs of pregnancy. Patricia was very attentive to the child, not knowing whether it would be a brother or sister.
She had never been apart from her parents for so long before, and since marrying Lance, she has been living with him. Although she's happy, she has a few thoughts of her own.
She always feels regret for not being able to be by her parents' side.
Therefore, when this little one appears, able to accompany her parents in her stead, she is truly joyful and fond of the idea.
She has never felt the notion of "a little one coming to take my inheritance," and she's not very concerned about the assets.
