The atmosphere in the living area remained tense. It was as if everyone was frozen while looking at each other.
Iris didn't say anything more. She already said what she needed to say. She couldn't control other people's thoughts and feelings. Yi Mei was her own person. She had the right to think and feel on her own. All Iris could do was explain to the housekeeper that Jin Liwei was someone important to her.
The silence just made the atmosphere heavier. Iris was calm. Jin Liwei followed her lead. Only Dom felt stifled. He almost cracked a joke just to lighten the mood but judged that this wasn't the right time to act like a clown.
Finally, it was Yi Mei who broke the tense silence. She glared at Jin Liwei and looked like she wanted nothing more in the world than to pummel the lusty brat into oblivion. "You." She pointed at him. "Do you love Young Miss?"
Iris stiffened, instinctively turning to look at Jin Liwei.
