“I can’t believe that you're able to recognize me! I'm so happy about this! | thought that you would no longer rememberbecause I've grown up and my looks have changed.” Lorelai walked over from the tiny pathway by the forest, and she reached out to tidy her curly, long hair, fluttering in the breeze. “Congratulations on your marriage.” “I'm very happy to see you back here for my wedding.” Elliot nodded with a smile.
“I would like very much to meet your wife, the future young mistress of the family.” There was a look of admiration in her eyes as she spoke.

You haven't changed much at all in my eyes, and you're still as handsand charming as before.” “You've changed a lot, though. The scrawny young girl in the past is now a pretty little lady.” Elliot was quite pleased.
“Congratulations, Elliot, for gaining such a great wife and an adorable son. | heard that his nis Jared, right?” She asked with a smile.
“Yes, his name’s Jared, and he’s five years old.” “I'm so keen to meet your son. | heard that he's the exact replica of the young you. | must say, | had a deep impression of you when you were a kid!” Lorelai’s smile widened.
Nearby, Katrina was taking a walk, and she strolled past the two. She saw from afar that Elliot was taking a walk with a fashionably dressed young girl. She noticed they were full of smiles as they chatted with each other, and she couldn't help feeling jealous. At the stime, though, she revealed a mocking smile on her face. Is Anastasia aware that her husband is currently having a great tchatting with another girl? Katrina took out her cell phone and inched closer to secretly snapping a photo of them. Subsequently, she saw the girl look on as Elliot left. That girl remained in the sspot for quite stbefore finally retracting her gaze, and clearly, there was a yearning look in her eyes.
Hah! Anastasia hasn't even married Elliot yet, but her husband is already flirting with another woman. Katrina's intent was to show this video to Anastasia and then take a good look at Anastasia’s expression.
The tea party was held in a very luxurious and elegantly-decorated courtyard. There were long crystal tabletops full of dainty snacks and drinks. It seemed that every female in the extended Presgrave Family was in attendance.
Harriet sat in the center of the room, and there was an empty spot right next to her.

“I heard that Mrs. Presgrave is very talented. She has obtained a lot of prizes and tokens of achievement.” “Yeah, that's right. Her masterpieces are worth a fortune right now.” “I think she must not have tfor work after the marriage. From now on, our entire family will be led by Mrs. Presgrave.” Harriet noticed that everyone was fawning over Anastasia, and she brushed them off by waving her hands. “That's enough.
We're family here, so let's just talk about the usual family matters.” “Hey! | heard that Lorelai is back. Why isn’t she here at the tea party today?” One of the middle-aged women asked the elegantly-dressed woman across from her.
“Lorelai will be here shortly.” The woman was Lorelai's mom.
“I heard that Lorelai has achieved so much while overseas and she’s great in her field. Not only has she obtained a degree, but her job is mainly in finance too. She has done well.” “You're too kind. She’s just an ordinary girl.” Harriet was slightly surprised, so she asked, “Loralei is back? | haven't seen her for quite stnow.” “She remained overseas for the past twelve years and never cback. It's rude of her to not cback often to see you, Old Madam Presgrave.” Kendra spoke up guiltily.
