Old Madam took the opportunity to say, "Oh well, you can't really put it that way. Remember how initially you thought that Lyke would never get married? Now he has a girlfriend. Since he now has a girlfriend, isn't the wedding just around the corner?"
"We're here today to discuss their engagement, aren't we! You have to take things one step at a time; you'll definitely see how it unfolds." Old Madam added.
third Old Master Zhekova nodded, pulling a clean handkerchief from his pocket to wipe away his tears.
Samson Zhekova guided Third Old Master Zhekova to a chair at the table.
Old Madam signalled for everyone else to take a seat.
Since Lyke and Peggy Lewis had arrived early, Lyke had already ordered the food.
Everyone was seated and all that was needed now was for the food to be served.
Mr. and Mrs. Lewis, initially wanting to delay, couldn't bear to do so after seeing Third Old Master Zhekova cry.
