Bab 198: The Islet Mystery 14

"Ryan, dear, you did not tell auntie and uncle about this. Where will the venue be?" Mrs. Lopez glowed in the excitement of a wedding.

Jullien pinched Ryan's side, and he snapped back to his senses. Jullien moved her eyes in Mrs. Lopez's direction, and he understood that she was speaking to him.

Madame Lopez smiled broadly, reciting her question. "It seems like you already imagine your coming wedding, dear." This earned a pleased chuckle from Jullien, prompting her to snuggle closer to Ryan's chest.

"I'm sorry, auntie. I plan to announce it once we have the date," Ryan answered, but his eyes were on the phone. On his ears was a wireless ear set.

Ryan's eyes strayed at Jane, and he saw the hurt in her eyes. She did not look up to them and pretended to go on eating.  It will be an act of disrespect to Jullien if her expression betrays her.

"Congratulations to both of you! The wedding must be a talk of the city."
