Yet, the little episode with Opal Moore had no effect whatsoever on Tiana Williams's mood.
When she returned to Brooke Garden, the dinner was ready.
There was fresh fish caught by the Old Master and dishes specially made for Tiana by the Old Master's request, her favorites.
After returning, Polina Powell did not mention Opal Moore to the Old Master. She didn't know how to approach the subject with the Old Master, so she could only think of a more tactful way to explain it...
However, during her meeting with Opal Moore today, she noticed that Opal seemed to unconsciously touch her lower abdomen. Could it be that she was pregnant?
And judging by her mannerisms, it really did seem like a pregnancy...
The Old Mistress was preoccupied with these thoughts and was somewhat distracted.
Seizing the moment while the Old Master went to fetch the wine, she promptly turned to Tiana Williams beside her and asked—
"How did it go, Tiana? What did that woman say?"
