Jocelyn Griffin listened to others talking about how good Owen Moreland was to Amelia Clarke with the tips of her fingers pinching the mah-jong tiles, her facial expression faint, and the corners of her mouth seemed to be hooked with a smile, yet also seemed not.
After a moment, she suddenly put down the mah-jong tiles, and with a fittingly polite smile, she said to everyone, "I'm really sorry, I just remembered I have some things to do, so I'll leave first."
After speaking, she turned her head to Daniel Yorke, who was standing to the side looking at his cellphone, and said, "Daniel, I have to go, you come over and keep the aunts company for a few games."
At that moment, there was a burst of fireworks outside, the sound very close, so loud it hurt the ears and made hearts thump.
Amelia Clarke and Owen Moreland had taken the elevator to the first floor when they heard such a close sound of fireworks exploding, she was reminded of the night Owen Moreland proposed to her.
