The next day was the family banquet of the Gibsons. Thinking that she would face James with a new identity at the banquet, Esther felt both nervous and uneasy.
At the thought of the scene when he was having an affair with Anne, Esther resumed her determination to make them pay for all the injuries that they had caused. They would know that Esther was not so easy to be trifled with!
The family had quite a few family members, and the three large round tables in the spacious private room were filled.
Led by Lauren, Esther greeted all the relatives of the Gibson family. During this time, many people asked why Terence did not come with her.
Esther was upset. She didn't know whether Terence would come or not!
A young girl asked disappointedly, "Mom, isn't Uncle Terence coming today? I haven't seen him yet."
The lady next to the girl, Terence's second sister, smiled and said, "Even I haven't seen Terence for years. I wonder what he's like now."
"By the way, Lauren, will Terence come today?" Another lady asked.
Lauren respectfully nodded at them. "He'll come."
"That's right. It is not only a dinner party for Esther to meet her new relatives, but also the one to welcome Terence home. This party is for Terence. How can he be absent?"
Hearing the news that Terence would come, Esther became a little tense.
While everyone was chatting happily, a casual voice suddenly came from the door of the private room. "Hello, my dear family, I'm sorry for my late...."
The voice sounded so familiar that Esther unconsciously squeezed the hem of her skirt nervously.
It was James. He was back!
Amanda glanced at Esther in the crowd. Then, she smiled and walked towards her precious son. She said in a reproachful tone, "Today is a good day for your new aunt. How dare you ask the elder to wait for you?"
Esther didn't forget to stress the word 'aunt' hard.
James finally dumped Esther. As his mother, Amanda was happier than anyone else.
"The plane is delayed. I don't want to. Don't worry. I will personally apologize to my aunt." James was still smiling.
"Well, your aunt is over there. Hurry up and apologize." Amanda stuffed a glass of red wine into his hand and pointed her chin at Esther, who left her back to them.
James did not hesitate and walked into the crowd.
The woman in the crowd was tall and slightly skinny. Her long black hair was loosely tied behind her head, and her pale-yellow dress made her look incomparably eye-catching. Esther seldom tied up her hair or wore such a gorgeous dress. Although James felt that this figure looked familiar, he didn't think too much about it. Instead, he shook his glass and smiled, "Auntie, I am your nephew, James. Sorry, I'm late for the first time we met. I hope that you won't blame me."
Esther took a deep breath and slowly loosened the fingers on her skirt. With a graceful smile, she slowly turned around and said to James, "My little nephew, auntie is very happy that you can rush back for the family banquet. How can I blame you?"
