"I see. What about Dylan? He didn't seem to be doing anything recently. When Betty appeared tonight, he didn't stand by her side. What's his plan? Is he against Betty?"
"It's hard to say, but Dylan has always been ambitious. He can't be willing to be ruled by a woman." After a pause, Carlson smiled again. "Betty is also a very strong woman. Even if she is not smart enough, she is stubborn. She will never let others make her father's family business a mess, even it is her own husband."
"So these two people won't compromise with each other?"
Seeing that Carlson didn't say anything, she continued, "By the way, I didn't see Dylan tonight. It's a little strange. Lily's husband, Stephen, has come. There's no reason for Mr. Martin's son-in-law, Dylan, not to be present!"
Taking another drag on his cigarette, Carlson said in a daze, "I don't know. No one else can see my movements. Now only Jack is the most anxious, so Richard is eager to suppress Jack. Dylan and I are just biding our time. I can't figure out what he wants to do."
"Then what do you want to do?" "What's your plan after being low-key for so long?" asked Leena.
"My plan... My plan... Maybe my plan is the same with Dylan's. We are both waiting for something."
"For what?"
Taking a meaningful look at Leena, he smiled and said, "The notebook!"
Leena kept silent, and a sense of guilt r
he went to see his parents first.
Leena knew Rena. She didn't allow Spencer to see her parents because she wasn't sure if they would get married. But she went to Spencer's home to meet his parents because she wanted to know his family condition. If she couldn't get along with her future parents-in-law or if they had bad temper, she could break up with him sooner. Poor Spencer was always bullied by Rena.
On the day Rena came back, she called Leena. They just chatted for a while but didn't meet each other, because Rena was going to stay in Spencer's home for a night. She couldn't meet Leena until tomorrow.
Therefore, Leena had no choice but to stay idle on the fourth and the fifth of the lunar New Year.
The sixth day of the lunar New Year was auspicious for the burial, so Mr. Martin's funeral was held on that day. Leena went with Carlson to the funeral and cancelled the meeting with Rena.
On the day of the funeral, many people came. It rained a little. Black umbrellas and black cars were everywhere and could be seen almost all over the cemetery.
After another round of mourning, Leena followed Carlson and went back after Mr. Martin was buried. Leena found that Carlson had lost a lot of weight. She hadn't seen him for only a few days and his face was haggard with severe dark circles under his eyes. She asked, "Haven't you slept for these days?"
