Karen could feel the anger bubbling within her, but she managed to keep her composure.
However, the resentment in her heart only grew stronger as the meal continued.
Nicole, on the other hand, was thoroughly enjoying the attention she was receiving from her family.
Despite the undercurrent of tension in the room, she appreciated the small moments of peace with her parents and uncles.
They were the ones who genuinely cared about her, and Nicole couldn’t help but feel grateful for their support.
As the meal progressed, Norah’s jealousy became more apparent, and Nicole could feel her glare from across the table.

Karen’s resentment simmered, but she kept her mouth shut for the moment.

As the dinner came to a close, everyone began to rise from the table.
Nicole stood up as well, feeling the weight of the day’s events.
The complex web of relationships, both in her family and with Jared, was only becoming more entangled.
She wasn’t sure what the future held, but one thing was certain—things were changing, and she had no intention of backing down now.
Nicole exchanged some polite goodbyes with her family and started to leave the room.
As she stepped outside, she couldn’t shake the feeling that her life was about to take a dramatic turn.
What had once been a quiet, predictable existence was now filled with unpredictable twists and turns.
She wasn’t sure where she was headed, but she was ready to face whatever came next.
