Juan felt uneasy.
After a while, Debra spoke up. "Why did you come?" "Knowing they'd make things difficult for you, why did you still calone?" Debra paused. “I asked you." ‘It's Shelia's birthday today. I had to make a quick visit, Juan said.
"Shelia's birthday?" Debra was surprised. “Then why did you come?" Juan always seemed to prioritize Shelia.
Juan frowned. "This banquet concerns the relationship between the Frazier and Nichols families. I have to come." "A grandiose excuse," Debra muttered.
Juan didn't catch that. "What were you saying?" Debra didn't reply. In her last life, Juan knew it was the Frazier family's banquet but still didn't accompany her, leaving he to deal with the mean Rosalie and the elders. He couldn't even be bothered to give her an excuse for not coming.
"I said it's a big day for Shelia. Is it appropriate for you not to keep her company?" "You don't need to remind me." Juan's tone softened at the mention of Shelja. “Shelia is an orphan.

If this year, because I'm married, I don't accompany her, I'm afraid she'll overthink it." Juan emphasized the word "elder".
Debra shook off Juan's arm. "It's none of my business. Go and m accompany here She is an orphan who needs your companionship on her big day." Juan thought Debra would be angry, but hearing her genuinely want him to see Shelia, he felt a bit depressed.
After Debra left, Joe sensed Juan's bad mood and said, "Sir, Miss Miles is still waiting for you at the hotel." "I know."
At the hotel, Shelia looked at the birthday setup and the candlelit dinner on the table, feeling happyn She deliberately dimmed the lights a bit, creating a warm, intimate atmosphere throughout the room.
