Old Master Cross put down his chopsticks, stood up and said with a smile, “It’s that kid, Mathew.” After saying that, Old Master Cross went out to welcome him. Aria glanced at Sarah, and their eyes met. Sarah was also looking at Aria. “What are you looking at? Hurry up and go! Matthew, Elliott, and a few others have come. They are all Dominic’s lifelong friends.” Although Sarah’s tone was not friendly, it was a nice reminder to Aria. “Alright!” Aria immediately put down her chopsticks and ran out. The chair made a sound when she pushed it back. Mayor Edward saw this and looked at his wife in surprise. It was unusual that his wife was not looking for trouble. She was actually behaving well. Sarah said, “Why are you two looking at me? Do you think I still want to quarrel with her? I need a day off too, okay? I don’t have the energy to quarrel with her today.” She was already quite old, and her energy levels were not what they used to be. Every time she quarreled with Aria, it would take a toll on her. These days, she was so angry that her health and her sleeping patterns were not in order. Now that Aria was leaving the Cross family, no one wanted to compete with Sarah for the position of the mistress. Sarah found Aria easier to be around. And even if she did not say it out loud, Mayor Edward understood.?As the mayor, he had seen all kinds of people. Plus, Sarah had a one-track mind. Mayor Edward suddenly said, “That’s good too. Everyone can be quiet.” In the living hall, Aria caught up with Old Master Cross. She obediently followed behind Old Cross. Then, Aria saw the drunk Dominic being supported by two guys. The other three people went up to talk to Old Master Cross. One of them had a very strange gait that got Aria’s attention. “Uncle Cross, we came over to wish Dominic a happy wedding. He didn’t even tell us that he was getting married,” Matthew said. Aria tried her best to recall the two names that Sarah Cross mentioned earlier. She remembered that they were Matthew and Elliot. The other three were Dominic’s good friends that seldom came over. ...... Lewis looked at Fang Xiaonuan, who was lost in thought. He said to Elliott, “That little girl looks pretty good.” Elliott also glanced at Aria, who was behind Old Master Cross. Then, he whispered to lewis, “Huh? You mean her? She doesn’t look like the one! She seems to be a student. Can students get married now?” Old Master Cross was close, so when he heard Elliott’s words, he coughed lightly to dispel the awkwardness. Then, he turned around and said to Aria kindly, “Aria, come forward. I’ll introduce you to her.” Aria Cross walked forward. She stood beside Old Master Cross very obediently. At this moment, Old Master Cross felt satisfied with her obedience. “This is Elliott, the heir of the Lee family. This is Matthew, the owner of more than ten overseas islands. The one beside him is Andrew. The two who are propping dominic up, are lewis and Mathias. Our families are old friends, and they are also good friends with Dominic.” After introducing the five of them one by one, Old Master Cross then introduced the girl beside him to them. “This is Dominic’s...” Dominic drank a lot of wine, and he was completely drunk at this moment. The smell of alcohol dissipated a little when the warm summer wind blew in. He narrowed his eyes and looked at his very obedient wife. Without waiting for Old Master Cross to finish introducing her, dominic asked, “Wife, I’m not at home. Are you angry again?” Aria was at a loss for words. “This...” Dominic was being really nice to her. Once Dominic opened his mouth, there was no need to convey Aria’s identity anymore. He did not hear Aria’s reply, so he asked again in an overbearing manner, “Answer me, who are you angry at today? Are you angry? Tell me. I’ll help you vent your anger.” Once these words were said, the hall fell into a strange silence. It turned out that Dominic was like this when he was drunk. His five good friends were all very shocked, and they all looked at him. Aria took a few steps forward and held the swaying Dominic. She shook her head and said, “No! I’m very obedient. I’m not angry, and of course, no one is angry at me.” Elliott said, “Uncle Cross, may I ask, is she an adult?” Elliott’s voice rang out suddenly. This guy’s words were shocking. No matter how they looked at Aria Cross, to them, she did not seem like an adult. The guys also had their doubts but the only one who dared to ask the question directly was Elliott. “I’m already 20 years old. I got married legally,” Aria said to ease the awkwardness Old Master Cross must feel.
