Chapter 275: Another Guest?
Everyone was silent for a moment, with their eyes on Evan and Rose. It made Rose feel awkward and uncomfortable with their gazes.
Rose brought her head closer to Evan and whispered, "Hubby! Why did you tell them about that? You should not!" Her voice was low, but Evan sensed his wife was angry. "Look... what have you done? My mother and your mother are now disappointed. You don’t have to tell them about it, do you!? Now, I don’t know what to say to them...."
Evan realized his mistake. But now, he couldn’t do anything about it. Their parents already knew. All he could do now was shut up his mouth tightly and say nothing more, afraid he would upset his wife and parents.
Suddenly Amanda Spencer joined them and stood behind Nicholas Spencer. She came at the right time to break the awkwardness between them. "Brothers, Sisters, should we take our dinner now? This is almost 7 PM." She asked cheerfully. Greeted with nods by everyone present, especially Rose. She was starving and wanted to distract their parents from talking about pregnancy.
Nicholas Spencer looked at his watch, "Wait a moment. We are still waiting for other guests...."
"Brother Nick, you invited our first brother and his family too?" Amanda asked. She thought tonight only the Wilsons and Collins would be here for dinner. Actually, she wasn’t invited to tonight’s event either. She just happened to be here as a wedding planner to discuss tomorrow’s wedding with her sister-in-law.
"Dad, you invited someone else? Who?" Rose looked surprised. She looked at her mother, "Mom, do you know who?"
"I don’t know. Your father arranged everything."
Before Nicholas could answer, his cell phone rang. He smiled as he stood up from his seat. "I’ll be back in a minute."
