After dinner, a few people were playing cards, and Cressida Jones, who didn’t really know how, was pulled by Zoe Payne to sit at one of the spots.

Everyone originally thought she was just being polite by saying she didn’t know how to play, but it turns out she really didn’t, so she often played unpredictably, catching the other three players off guard.

Michale Shaw, out of options, gave up his spot, pulled up a chair, and sat beside Cressida Jones to guide her.

“…the flower shop reopens on the second day of the new year, so you don’t have time to visit relatives during the New Year?” Zoe asked casually.

Cressida Jones just smiled, “I don’t really have many relatives anyway.”

“How come you have no relatives?” Michale Shaw played along.

“When my mom got cancer, my dad refused to provide financial help, so we had to borrow money everywhere. Considering we were just a mother and daughter with no capability to pay back, and with my dad’s pressure, no one was willing to lend to us.”

“I understand their considerations, earning money isn’t easy for anyone, and we haven’t really kept in touch with anyone over the years.”

“This year though, some relatives did invite me and my grandmother over, but it didn’t seem interesting, so I rejected them.”

Cressida spoke lightly,

“It’s alright, it’s all in the past and there’s nothing that can’t be spoken about.”

Cressida Jones’s tone was relaxed, indicating a strong inner strength.
