Alexander Summers was not one for pleasantries, responding directly, "There's a bit of trouble that's still being dealt with, it won't take too long."
Christopher Simonson nodded and did not pry further.
The conversation shifted to other topics, such as which dish was good, and the weather was about to cool down and so on.
They also talked about Violet Nelson's wedding during the meal.
No one knew how the two families had negotiated later, but the Russell Family stated that the wedding would proceed as planned and on schedule.
As for the previous drama, it was to be treated as a spat between the young couple.
This way, both sides could save face.
After all, nobody should think that the Russell Family was calling off the wedding because they were upstaged by others, and leaving the bride alone at the wedding would sound terrible if word got out.
Purple Summers ate her meal, half listening to the conversation, but her mind was on Alexander Summers's situation.
