Chapter 8 Fragile Stephanie
Stephanie had been in poor health since she was a kid, so Lawson didn't overthink too much. He took a look at their parents, who were walking ahead and making small talk, and asked, "Should we go to the hospital?" Stephanie lied. She didn't feel sick. She grabbed Lawson's arm and faltered, "No need, Lawson. It's always like this after I stay in one room for too long. I just need some fresh air, and I will be fine."
Lawson caringly stroked her back and whispered, "You should tell me that you feel sick sooner. They won't blame you."
Stephanie stared at his handsome face and felt relaxed. She bashfully held his hand and crooned, "I know."
Then Stephanie seemed to reme: ber something and said with faked sympathy, "I saw my sister just now. Why was she at Watershed Restaurant?
Chapter & Fragile Stephanie
My father said her parents came from River Town. There is only one train to Melcester every day. Didn't she get the ticket?"
Hearing it, Lawson knitted his brows. He looked back at Watershed Restaurant, uttering carelessly, "Probably."
Stephanie bit her pink lips and said hesitantly, "In fact, before my sister left, she was fighting with my grandma. She didn't take the money that my father gave her and accused us of chasing her away! Between you and me...Lawson...do you think I'm too greedy? Shouldn't I vie with my sister for you?"
"This isn't about you!" Lawson was disheartened to see Stephanie get misty-eyed and immediately consoled her, "I fell in love with you first. Myrna...she will wish us the best."
Stephanie was fragile. The only brave thing she ever did was be with Lawson. As a man, Lawson thought he must be responsible for her.
Lawson didn't trust another man to take care of

Stephanie, so he had to turn Myrna down and say sorry to her.
"OK."
Stephanie noticed that Lawson was indifferent when he spoke about Myrna and felt much at ease.
She was also guessing the reason that Myrna came to Watershed Restaurant.
Perhaps, it was a coincidence like what her grandma said.

Stephanie contained herself and put on a smile. Suddenly, she saw a person walk out of the restaurant from the corner of her eye.
It was Myrna!
Myrna wore the same T-shirt and plaid shirt that she chose before going out at noon and the same light blue short jeans to show off her beautiful white legs. 11.56
Myrna's facial features were distinctive. Her eyes were as dark as ink. Her eyelashes were long and curved. An irresistible charm was exuding from her body. Apparently, Lawson saw Myrna. He exclaimed in surprise, "Myrna?"
Except for Myrna, Lawson also saw other people.
When Luther, who was walking in the lead, heard the cry, he paused and looked over at Lawson.
Oliva was held by her daughter. When she saw Harold, she suddenly stopped chatting with Amy.
Oliva instructed her daughter to walk her to Harold and greeted Harold with a smile, "Mr. Payne, why are you in Melcester?"
Mr. Payne?
The Starks were dumbfounded!
Celia suddenly thought of something. She glanced at the Paynes, and her expression changed.

The Payne family?
Would it be the family that Celia heard about?
The upper class in Melcester was also divided into three classes. The Stark family was a newcomer and in the lowest class. The Cooper family was one class higher than the Stark fa
