Chapter 2181 Edwin shifted his gaze toward Laura.
She remained engrossed in the antics of Tom and Jerry, leisurely savoring each potato chip.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEdwin mustered a smile.
“Your home cooking smells positively delightful. It's been quite some time since | enjoyed a meal of this caliber!” Internally, Lina rolled her eyes.
The audacity of it all! In the midst of it, Peter, enveloping Edwin in a hearty embrace, quipped, “Pay no heed to Lina’s chatter! Today, it's you and me enjoying a good drink together. Don't disappoint me, alright?” Edwin responded with a gentle smile, “Certainly!” As he passed by Laura, his stride momentarily wavered, his voice carrying a faint huskiness.
“Laura?” Lina's anxiety surged, dreading that their daughter might inadvertently reveal something.
If Peter caught wind of it, a heated confrontation could ensue. She didn't seek to sweep things under the rug, not because she opposed justice, but because preserving a young girl's reputation was clearly more important. She had no wish for their cohabitation to become public knowledge. Laura already bore the weight of being Cathy Wilson's daughter; if the world learned about her connection with Edwin, how could she live with it in the future? Thankfully, Laura simply offered a subtle nod.
Peter chuckled.

In a soft murmur, he responded, “But she appears at least three or four years younger than me.” Peter harbored some dissatisfaction with that assessment.
“She's been stuck at 5.2 feet, no matter how many nutritious soups Lina whips up for her, But a girl's petite and dainty stature has its charm; lends her an air of youthfulness,” he opined.
Edwin offered a slight, knowing smile.
On the other hand, Lina shot a scathing glare at her husband.
“Would you kindly engage your brain?” Peter grumbled, “Seems the tigress is out again!” He graciously beckoned Edwin to take a seat. After rummaging through Laura's liquor collection, he retrieved a bottle of premium Golden Blossom wine to share with his guest. He even tasked his wife with preparing a modest hot pot so they could partake in conversation while enjoying the meal and libations.
