184 Ch. 184 Harmonieâs Sudden Exclamation
In the dining hall of Heinestâs dwelling, Meisya chatted with Madeline while Leonard talked with Raymond. Meanwhile, Stanley, sitting next to his wife, just sipped delicious tea as if he didnât care about his surroundings.
Richard chatted with Andrew because they had not seen each other for a long time, and they had so much to talk about, as if they were soul mates who had been separated for a long time.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
On the other side, Anxia and Michele listened to Harmonieâs narrative about this house as if the girl had lived there for a long time. Anxia couldnât shake off what she saw a moment ago and investigated Harmonieâs expression closely. The girl stopped blushing and returned to her usual self, but every now and then, her eyes would glance over at Andrew Heinest.
Everyone, including Harmonieâs two older twins, did not suspect Harmonieâs glance because the girl stole glances cleverly. Moni didnât do it very often, which was subtle. Harmonie could fool everyone in this room but not Anxia.
Now Anxia felt very sure that this sister-in-law had feelings for Andrew Heinest. Was it because of Harmonieâs feelings for Andrew that she often postponed her marriage to her fiancé?
Anxia had heard that every time the fiancé discussed their wedding date, Moni always avoided it and discussed something else. Moni ultimately broke up with her fiancé a few months ago.
Anxia assumed they broke up because the male side didnât take Harmonie seriously, but it seems⦠the reason they broke up was quite the opposite?
Did Richard and Raymond know this? Is Stanley aware of his youngest daughterâs feelings for Andrew?
After exchanging pleasantries with Leonard and Andrew, Anxia understood why the three Calvin siblings respected and admired these two people so much. Leonard was friendly and easy to talk to, while at the same time, the man had undeniable authority and dominance to make his bad-tempered wife submit to him.
.....
Andrew Heinest had the same character as his father, but his aura of authority was not too apparent, as if the man never wanted to intimidate his interlocutors.
Now Anxia understood why Harmonie would fall in love with this prince-like handsome man. Not only was he good-looking and had a charming smile, but this man also seemed to cherish Harmonie.
Knowing this little secret made Anxia excited yet sympathetic to her sister-in-law. Based on her perception, Andrew viewed Harmonie as no more than a brother to his sisterâHarmonie would have a broken heart.
Putting aside, Anxia was curious since when did Harmonie fall in love with Andrew? If Harmonie had liked Andrew for a long time, why did she want to date and get engaged to someone else for so many years?
âHarmonie, when are you getting married? You are twenty-seven now. Isnât it about time you settled down and had kids?â asked Madeline politely, but Anxia knew that the woman wanted to ensure Harmonie was not married before her daughter.
âAh, thatâ¦â Harmonie also knew the ulterior motives of her uncleâs wife asking her about her marriage and didnât want to tell the truth. But⦠âIâve broken up with my fiancée, auntie. So maybe I wonât be getting married anytime soon.â
Andrew put down his teacup when he heard the girlâs answer. âYou broke up with your fiancé? Why? Did he hurt you?â He reacted similarly to the twin brothers when they heard about the breaking up.
Why did everyone think my fiancé hurt me? Harmonie couldnât help but wonder. âNo. He was good to me.â
âThen?â Andrew demanded impatiently, to the astonishment of Anxia.
âAndrew, trust me. Weâve been trying to get information out of her, and sheâs keeping her mouth shut. We donât even know why they broke up.â stated Richard, tapping his cousin on the shoulder.
âI like someone else.â
Spurt!! Raymond nearly spitted out his drink when he heard his sisterâs sudden confession. All this time, Harmonie kept her mouth shut about her reasons for breaking up with her fiancé, but now the girl admits she has feelings for another man?!
Raymond glanced at his older twin with a âYou know this?â look.
Richard shook his head in response to the silent question from his twin brother.
âOh, you like someone else? Who is it?â as usual, women who love to see the destruction of girls beside themselves asked further.
âMaddie,â Leonardâs firm voice once again silenced Maddie, then turned to his sister, who seemed to be in shock. Strangely enough, Stanley acted normal and still sipped his drink as if his tea was the best in the world.
Leonard clicked his tongue in annoyance, seeing how expressionless Stanley was. His sisterâs husband loved to act indifferent when he already knew everything. âMeisya, do you know this?â
âI...â Meisya sighed sadly. âMoni dear, why you never told me before? Since when did you have feelings for this person? Do your father and I know him?â
âHmm. You know him very well.â Harmonie glanced briefly at Andrew, who was now frowning but then said nothing more.
âWho is he?â
Harmonie didnât answer, while Michele and Anxia only sat quietly, watching the scene as if they were watching a new viral drama.
Luckily, Quinn had appeared with the maids to serve her dishes, and they were all able to relieve the awkwardness by enjoying the hostâs banquet.
However ... As she expected, Anxiaâs mood turned sour when she saw that beautiful fairy-like face. For a while, she had forgotten that Quinn was Andrewâs younger sister and was more interested in seeing the development of the romance between Harmonie and Andrew. But as soon as Anxia saw Quinnâs face, her interest in trying to help Harmonie hook up with Andrew vanished.
Even though Anxis cherished Harmonie like his own sister, she didnât want Harmonie to become Quinnâs sister-in-law. She couldnât bare to see what kind of hardship Harmonie would have if she married the Heinest.
Ultimately, they all decided not to discuss Harmonieâs crush again or the cause of the breakdown in her relationship with her former fiancé. Surprisingly... Andrew Heinest turned quiet after hearing that Harmonie and her fiancé had broken up. The man still behaved normally and responded to people who talked to him.
However, only Anxiaâs eyes could see something wrong with Andrew Heinestâs so-called normal demeanor.
