She gave such an expensive gift and even bought her favorite lilies.
At a glance, it's clear she put thought into it.
Combined with her sweet words, even if Mrs. Benington couldn't instantly like her, she couldn't help but have a bit of a favorable impression of her.
Her attitude toward Annie Lawrence has improved a lot compared to just now, and she said with a smile, "You really went all out, child. Don't just stand there; sit down quickly. You guys hurry and get some tea for Ms. Joanna."
Annie's lips curled up slightly, and a hint of triumph flashed in her eyes.
She went and sat down opposite Mrs. Benington, and said politely, "Thank you, Madam White."
Only after Joanna sat down, did David Benington choose a spot next to her and sit down as well.
These two seats were very close together.
Although they were separate seats, it looked like they were sitting side by side on the same sofa.
Mrs. Benington watched this scene, and that strange feeling surfaced again.
