The truth

Alex was listening intently to Lydia when she suddenly looked at Alan with a mischievous flash in her eyes, "Did you just say you made that promise with my mother?"

"Yes, that's why you are here, isn't it?" Lydia already knew the inside story, so she set about playing along with Alex's game.

Eliott just looked at the two women helplessly, thinking that they must have found each other!

"Well, I thought you had made this engagement promise with my father for either of his daughters, I did not know it was done with my mother," Alex gave a feigned worried impression and looked at Lydia.

Lydia just looked at Alan without saying a word, she wanted to see how he would react. It was one thing to lie to your daughter behind four walls, but another to do it in front of them.

Alan actually found himself in an awkward situation as everyone present in the living room looked at him with questioning eyes.
