Just as Xavia was feeling lost and helpless, Maison was completely unruffled. He looked at Fiona with his small face and said, “Aunt Squire, you must have heard me wrongly. I did not say ‘aunt’, but I said ‘aihh’. Some people are so thick-skinned. She doesn’t even pay attention to maintaining distance when she’s talking to a married man.”
As soon as those words came out, everyone suddenly realized that Fiona was sitting extremely close to Zivon. Moreover, she was also holding Zivon’s arm and they looked rather intimate.
Winnie was the first to disagree with this act and she said, “Miss Squire, although you have a pretty good relationship with my brother, he is already a married man now. You should also pay attention to maintaining a proper distance from him.”
Keith also didn’t mind helping out and he smiled affectionately as he said, “Miss Squire, if you need an arm, I don’t mind lending you one. It just so happens that I don’t have a female companion, and I am feeling lonely too.”
The two people’s words made Fiona’s face tense up, and she felt extremely embarrassed too. Her arms stiffened and she quickly let go of Zivon’s arm as she explained awkwardly, “I didn’t mean that. It’s just because I’ve already known and been by Brother Zivon’s side for a long time now, so I naturally got used to it. Miss Lockhart, I hope that you won’t mind it.”
Xavia didn’t say that she minded it from the beginning to the end. Plus, she had no right to mind it anyway. Now that the topic has changed, she could only rejoice and felt thankful about it. “It's fine. Everyone can just get ready to perform.”
As soon as she said those words, the entire scene suddenly became very quiet and silent.
In the past, Jenna hated it the most when Fiona touches or latches onto Zivon in any way. Jenna had also mocked and ridiculed Fiona more than once in public. Now, she was actually not angry and she even said ‘it’s fine’ in such a light and casual manner?
Why did it feel like she had become a completely different person?
Charles felt even more certain of his suspicions now. He pretended not to understand what was going on as he said, “Aunt-in-law, you suddenly became so generous after you got married. You seem to be a completely different person from how you were before.”
Cecilia also chimed in, “That’s right. I thought that you were going to quarrel with Miss Squire again. Fortunately, Aunt-in-law has already become a changed person.”
“But Aunt-in-law, I became even more jealous after I got married, compared to how jealous I was before I was married. Aunt-in-law, you are so different before and after you got married. It’s like you’ve become a completely different person. Aunt-in-law, can you teach me how you do it? Otherwise, Charles will say that I am always easily jealous.”
Each word sounded friendly, as if they were praising her but in fact, it was a reminder of how much Jenna had changed before and after getting married.
Xavia clenched her hands, which were placed on her knees tightly.
Was Jenna very jealous in the past? That’s right. Based on what Jenna had done to her, anyone could easily guess that Jenna would not be able to tolerate any other women.
She was simply too focused on playing the role of a loving and gentle wife that she forgot all about Jenna’s arrogance.
