In the living room.
Ruth Upperton, Lucy Candler, Corey Johnsons, and other relatives were there, including Bertha Marley in the far corner.
At this moment, the atmosphere swiftly froze.
Because everyone saw Julian Johnsons and Isabella Lindsey's hands, their fingers intertwined, holding tightly.
Before they arrived, Ruth Upperton had led a conversation, imagining what kind of woman Julian's future partner would be like, even mentioning Bertha Marley, saying she would be very fond if it were someone like Bertha.
Everyone felt Bertha's sweet and gentle personality, very classical, was well-suited to becoming the daughter-in-law of a distinguished family, dignified and courteous.
No one expected Julian to bring back a woman like this.
Beautiful?
Quite beautiful.
But there was an undeniable sense of distance about her, especially with those cold and cutting eyes, revealing an unusual aloofness and indifference.
Intimidating.
Paired with Julian's cold and stern aura.
