Anastasia heard them discussing another girl, so she listened silently. She reckoned that a girl brought up in the Presgrave Family would definitely be an outstanding individual. After Anastasia got to know the Presgrave Family better, she realized that they maintained a very strict family hierarchy and that they placed importance on the education their children received.
At the stime, in the direction of the side door, there was a figure that walked in. It was a fashionably-dressed and elegant girl.
Anastasia lifted her head and noticed that the girl was stunning and elegant. She resembled an elegant swan.
“Wow! Lorelai has changed so much. She has becso pretty,” someone exclaimed.

That was the woman Elliot was about to marry, and she had a simple dress on. She appeared quite elegant, and her luscious black hair, which was swept to the side, accentuated her delicate features. Her eyes were quite attractive with a clear look in them.
The girl that Elliot is about to marry is indeed exceptionally stunning. There was a slightly complicated feeling that welled up within Lorelai.
“I'm sorry for being late.” Lorelai finished saying that and headed toward Harriet. “Grandma.” “Lorelai, you've grown into such a beautiful girl. Con over and sit by my side.” Coincidentally, there was another empty spot next to Harriet, so Lorelai took a seat next to Harriet and greeted Anastasia. “Nice to meet you, Mrs. Presgrave, I'm Lorelai.” “Nice to meet you,” Anastasia greeted Lorelai with a smile.
“Look at them. With these two beautiful ladies in attendance, we're insignificant next to them,” one of the women said with a smile.
Instantly, the entire room erupted into laughter while Anastasia and Lorelai revealed shy looks on their faces.
Subsequently, the atmosphere of the room becless tense. As everyone chatted about the past, suddenly, someone piped up, “l remember Lorelai and Elliot were very close when they were kids. She used to trail after Elliot every day!” Lorelai responded graciously, “That happened in the past when we were kids. | don’t quite recall it anymore.” “Yes. Lorelai was quite a wild child when she was young,” Kendra added.
The woman who had brought up the topic suddenly caught herself as she glanced anxiously in Anastasia’s direction before lifting her tea cup and smiling awkwardly, “I was just mentioning this in passing.” Harriet immediately tried to lighten the mood. “Elliot has always regarded Lorelai as his younger sister. He was too lonely when he was a kid.” Anastasia realized that the crowd intentionally avoided any mention of this topic because they must be afraid that she would overthink the situation.
From her memory, Lorelai’s father was one of the extended descendants of the Presgrave Family lineage, and they were quite a well-to-do family. As such, logically, although Lorelai and Harriet had the slast name, Lorelai was completely unrelated by blood to Harriet's line of the Presgraves.
As such, this becquite a sensitive topic.
“I heard that the bridesmaids in the wedding are sof the younger girls in the family. It's quite unfortunate that | didn’t cback in tto be one of the bridesmaids.” Lorelai instantly mentioned, quite regretfully.

At that point, everyone started to chin, “Yeah! We're all looking forward to attending your wedding celebration.” Just then, Anastasia had the urge to go to the toilet. Lorelai instantly got up too. “Mrs. Presgrave, I'll keep you company.” “Sure, let's go.” Anastasia and Lorelai went off together in the direction of the toilet.
Lorelai noticed then that there was a piece of leaf that had fallen on Anastasia’s hair, and she instantly voiced out, “Mrs.
Presgrave, hold still for a moment. There is a piece of fallen leaf on your hair.” Anastasia stood still at the mention of that, and Lorelai affectionately reached over to remove the leaf quite gently from Anastasia’s hair. “Done! I've removed the leaf.” “Thanks.” Anastasia was quite grateful for the help.
“You're welcome. You're the young mistress of the entire Presgrace Family, so everyone respects you. The sgoes to me.” Lorelai looked at Anastasia sincerely.
Anastasia knew the Presgrave Family rule, and she was initially quite astonished by it, but now she had finally accepted this completely.
