Thea Lynch didn't like being late, but she ended up walking in just as time was up.
The coffee shop wasn't crowded at this time, and as soon as she entered, she spotted the two women sitting inside.
Aunt Ronan usually takes good care of herself, almost fifty years old but looking barely over forty. However, Sean Bell's mother, who sat beside her, was different.
Being Aunt Ronan's sister-in-law, Sean's mother should have been younger. Yet, plagued by illness over the years and constantly taking care of herself, she looked frail and haggard.
In Thea's memory, Sean's mother was a woman of few words but very gentle.
So gentle that she could be described as having no temper at all.
Thea really had never seen her get angry with anyone, always smiling warmly at everyone. She was truly a woman from the watery town of Jiangnan. However, after Sean's father passed away and with Sean constantly causing trouble, it seemed she aged overnight.
