James and Charlotte simultaneously glared at Lucy – so she was behind this.
“Sasa, I’ve made reservations at St. Ritz. The food here looks unappetizing. Let’s go.”
He extended his hand to Sarah, who took it
“You can’t leave! This isn’t settled!” Lucy shouted.
Seeing them about to leave, she rushed forward
Zachary and Sarah looked at her impatiently, “Shouldn’t you be in the mental hospital?”
outsh.
Fury flashed in Lucy’s eyes, but she forced a smile.
“Mr. Reynolds, it’s my brother and sister–in–law’s wedding day. Won’t you stay for the meal?”
She tucked her hair behind her ear with feigned shyness, revealing an elegant ear with sparkling earrings catching the light on her cheek

Lucy waited quietly for his reaction, confident that if she could just interact with him, she could make him fall for her!
But after a long moment, Zachary didn’t even glance at her.

On Sunday, Sarah was planning to sleep in, but before noon, Mia knocked on her door.
“Mia?” she asked groggily
Mia, dressed casually, looked at Sarah expectantly, “Sarah, let’s go to the resort! My brother’s friend just opened a new seaside resort. They say you can catch fish there! And there’s all kinds of seafood! Come with us!”
Seeing her hopeful expression, Sarah couldn’t refuse. She changed into casual clothes and went downstairs.
Only then did she discover that besides Zachary and Mia, Scarlett and Steven were there too!
