Veely nestled happily by Wayne's side, not considering Veronica and Chris's emotional dispute at all. It didn't matter that she couldn't beat them – she had a clever brain. With a little trick, she could manipulate the two fools. Sooner or later, she'd be the one calling the shots.
The meal ended, and both Cushing and Veely were very satisfied, while Carter, the only normal person, was full of concern.
Watching Wayne and her husband walking into nextdoor arm in arm, she gently tapped Veely and quietly expressed her worries.
Carter felt her daughter was too impulsive. Wayne might be an outstanding God-chosen Knight successor, but he definitely wasn't a suitable boyfriend, let alone someone to discuss marriage with.
As a mother, Carter had been in a coma for fifteen years, unable to accompany her daughter as she grew up and mentally was still stuck fifteen years in the past, so under the weight of her guilt, she spoke softly, fearful that a harsh tone might upset her daughter.
