Chapter 1202


    Chapter 1202 “I don''t want to go. These little events are entirely meaningless.” It was always one and the same thing. She had to


    entertain one guest after another and make boring small talk. If she identally blurted out the wrong thing, she would end up


    getting punished.


    Her mother was the worst offender of them all and always nagged at her whenever she went.


    Sherry cocked an eyebrow upon hearing this and stayed silent.


    “Don''t you want to join in the fun? Why don''t you go instead?” Queenie suddenly suggested.


    Sherry answered, “I''d rather eat and watch TV here. This is much more interesting.”


    Queenie seemed to ponder for a moment, then she scoffed and told Hailey to sit down again.


    The three of them continued watching the show while feasting


    Meanwhile, a fleet of expensive cars was arriving outside


    the Stocktons'' residence.


    Julie and Shannon were dressed to the nines and were busy greeting the arriving guests and making conversation. The butler of


    the house, Marlow, was with them the entire time.


    Julie was very good at entertaining the guests. Shannon stood next to her and chimed into the conversation from time to time.


    Both of them wore polite and weing smiles on their faces.


    Soon, the Browns arrived, and Mason could be seen stepping out of the car in a tailored suit.


    Something gleamed in Julie‘s eyes as she turned to Shannon.


    Shannon seemed suddenly arrested by the sight of Mason. It was only when he began to approach them that she quickly


    recollected herself and lookedpletely normal.


    Before Julie could utter a word, she greeted Mason herself, “Wee, Mason. It''s very good to see you.”


    Mason nced at her and returned a polite greeting,” Good afternoon.”N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content.


    Julie greeted him as well, “Master Brown, please,e


    in.”


    Mason nodded and entered.


    When Shannon gazed at his back as he strode into the house, something suddenly shed in her eyes as if a bright idea


    urred to her.


    Julie observed Shannon’s expression and asked with intrigue, “What are you looking at?”


    Shannon withdrew her gaze and stated, “Oh, you know, | was just thinking about how | was supposed to be


    engaged to him. It does make me feel a little guilty seeing him all by himself now.”


    Julie smiled. “I''m sure he''s holding up well enough on his own. He didn‘t seem too dejected or anything like that when he saw


    you, so I''m sure he’s already over it.”

    Would this suggest that Mason no longer held any feelings toward her?


    Shannon was slightly bothered by that thought but made sure to not let it show. “Probably.”


    After a while, they all went to the banquet hall after all the guests had arrived. Madam Stockton showed up as well. Everything


    progressed smoothly ording to n.


    When it was time for everyone to freely mingle around, Shannon excused herself to a quiet corner since she was not actively


    engaged in conversation with anyone. She noticed Mason and carefully approached him, “Mason, do you have a second? I''d like


    to speak to you.”


    Mason frowned and answered crossly, “You''re Mrs. Stockton now. It''ll look bad if we were seen talking privately. If you have


    anything to say, you should just say it right here.”


    A morbid look surfaced in Shannon‘s eyes upon detecting the apparent aversion Mason felt toward her.


    She brushed it aside and dered with a smile, “It''s about my sister.”


    “Sherry?” This seemed to capture his interest. He asked in an anxious voice, “What happened to her? Is everything okay?”


    Shannon suddenly wrenched her face in displeasure. She took a deep breath and proposed again with a nonchnt smile, “This


    isn''t a good ce to talk. Let''s go outside for a second.”


    Mason immediately set the wine ss down and walked out with her.
