âShe went upstairs.
It looks like she needs to change her clothes.
Sheâll be down in a moment,â Kyson responded calmly, devoid of the terrifying anger that had been present during the car ride just ten minutes ago.
âOh, I see,â Sally nodded.
The siblings chatted in the dining room before Dulcie quickly made her way downstairs.
The red silk scarf around her neck added an enchanting touch to her white business suit.
It wasnât jarring at all; instead, it complemented her outfit perfectly, making her particularly eye- catching.
Sally noticed it from a distance.
âItâs the first time Iâve seen Dulcie wearing a silk scarf.
She looks so elegant, tall, and slender, like a stewardess,â she remarked.
Ryder glanced back and nodded in agreement.
âIt does look great.
Sally, you should take some fashion tips from our sister-in-law.
She can make even business attire look attractive.
Thereâs a lot you could learn from her.
â
âYouâre so annoying.
Why do you always bring me up no matter what Iâm talking about?â Sally pouted.
The atmosphere between the brother and sister was light and harmonious.
Only Kyson, lowering his eyes and picking at his food, had no special reaction to Dulcieâs attire.
âCome here quickly.
The whole family is waiting for you.
â
âOkayâ¦â
Dulcie pinched her palm and quickened her pace.
She sat on her chair and began to eat silently.
Despite her efforts, it was clear she had no appetite.
She managed to force down a few mouthfuls before declaring she was full and heading back to her room first.

Sally sensed something was wrong.
âKyson, Dulcie seems to be in a bad mood tonight.
You came back with her.
Did you two have a fight?â
Kyson chuckled.
âNo, why would I quarrel with her for no reason? Just eat your food.
â
âThen why is she unhappy? She barely ate anything before saying she was full,â Sally asked, her voice tinged with worry.
âHow should I know?â
His tone was casual, almost indifferent.
âHow could you be like this to Dulcie? As her husband, you should be attentive to her mood, comfort her, and make her happy,â Sally insisted.
Kyson grew slightly impatient with her nagging but held his tongue.
Finally, he replied, âFine, Iâll go check on her after dinner.
â
âThatâs more like it.
â
Sally couldnât shake the feeling that something was off between the couple as if there were secrets she wasnât aware of.
