My father's face froze and he smiled, "Afro Cartier, welcome, welcome, Richard's friends are friends of mine, please take a seat."
Afro glanced at me with her eyes rolling, "Since you welcome me, I won't be naughty."
Seeing Richard chuckle and look at Afro, my nose suddenly felt sore. My heart seemed to be pinched by a pair of big hands and ravaged.
In the next moment, my father led Richard to meet Luna. Richard handed over the gift with a smile, wishing her health and happiness.
My father and him sat side by side in the middle of the podium, accepting everyone's congratulations. Only then did I realize that my mother had also been taken back from the sanatorium. She actually stood below Luna.
Everyone called Luna Mrs. Lawrence and just nodded to my mother. In contrary, my mother only laughed, mechanically turned the jade bracelet on her wrist. She immersed herself in her own world.
It was a token of love that my father gave her when he confessed his love, a man-made glass bead bracelet worth twenty billion dollar.
