Laurent asked herself this question in her mind, but she didn't know what kind of answer to give. She always felt that things between them weren't quite normal, something was off, but she couldn't pinpoint exactly what was strange.
Perhaps it was best to just let things happen naturally.
The evening was filled with joy, and everyone had a good time.
After the dinner, since they had drunk a little, Dave called a driver to take the Browns back to their hotel. Out of courtesy, Dave also went with them.
After the Browns left, the little girl was tired and Laurent quickly gave her a bath and put her to bed. When she was coaxing her daughter to sleep, Laurent was so exhausted that she fell asleep right there, holding her daughter in her arms.
Having prepared such a big meal and spending the evening eating and drinking, it had already pushed her physical limits. So when the tiredness hit, she couldn't control herself and drifted off to sleep.
