After ending the call, she quickly changed and left the house with Matthew.


    As they stepped outside, they noticed the family butler stepping out of a car.


    Ste and Matthew exchanged puzzled nces.


    The butler approached them with a smile and said, “Mr.


    Waldo rk asked me to deliver an invitation to you.


    ”


    As Matthew epted the invitation from the butler, Ste leaned in to take a look.


    It was for the Lowell family’s engagement party.


    It was taking ce in three days.


    The butler ryed Waldo’s message.


    “Mr.


    rk asked for you to attend the party with your wife and Miss Wheeler.


    He says that it’s a young people’s event, and leaves the decision to you.


    ”


    “I see.


    ” Matthew nodded.


    With a slight nod, the butler excused himself.


    Ste held up the elegant invitation, examining it.


    Confused, she asked, “Why haven’t I heard your grandparents mention any connection between the rk and Lowell families?”


    Ste was new to Seamarsh.


    She was unfamiliar with the Lowell family and had no prior contact with them.


    Matthew, on the other hand, only knew what Waldo had told him.


    “We’ve always had a good rtionship with the Lowells.


    They’re a prominent family in Bysea.


    Years ago, a family tragedy forced them to move overseas, but they still send Grandpa gifts for festivals.


    ”


    Ste nodded.


    Given their good terms, attending seemed appropriate.


    “Should I prepare anything beforehand?” she asked nervously.


    “No need to stress,” Matthew assured her.Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.


    “It’s just a social gathering.


    I’ll ask Fernando to find a dress for you.


    ”


    Ste pondered for a moment.


    “Alright, but I’ll pick out an engagement gift myself.


    ”


    Matthew smiled.


    “Can Ie with you?”


    Ste declined, shaking her head.


    “I’ll go with Miley.


    After all, it’s for the bride.


    Men wouldn’t be much help here.


    ”


    Matthew chuckled, conceding defeat.


    “Alright, as you wish.


    ”


    They then went their separate ways.


    Ste drove to Alissa’s house.


    This time, without Doreen in tow, Alissa led her to the hidden studio beneath her home.


    Despite its modest size and simpleyout, the underground studio was surprisingly well-equipped with a variety of tools and materials.


    “Doreen told me you found your biological mother.


    Congrattions!”


    Alissa faced Ste.


    “I heard she’s a designer as well?”
