A moment ago, Olivia felt that Derrick and Ryder looked familiar for some reason.
When Wendell finally showed up, she knew why.
Wayne resembled Wendell a lot. He looked somehow similar to Derrick and Ryder too.
"What's the matter?"
"How many children does Mr. Wendell have?"
"One. That's Alexander, who's engaged with Jacqueline. You saw him yesterday."
"I see…"
Many people looked similar, just like Olivia and Jacqueline, even though they weren't blood-related.
Olivia overthought it because Wayne was consigned to a slum in Carathia when he was young. He didn't know who his parents were.
"I just think that Mr. Alexander doesn't look like Mr. Wendell. He takes after his mother more."
"Maybe. I can't remember her face because she has passed on for many years. Mr. Wendell is a devoted man. He didn't marry anyone else all these years."
Olivia nodded and kept quiet, observing the scene.
She understood Ethan more than anyone else. He should be very happy to be able to meet the Procters.
Janice wiped her tears away and pulled Ethan to the front. "He's your Uncle Wendell."
Ethan was obviously stunned for a moment before he regained his composure.
"Uncle Wendell." He wore a calm face to mask his surprise.
Enna wiped at her eyes too. "You're finally willing to come back. This will always be your home. Alright, now. We shouldn't let the sun down on our anger. Let's not bring up the past. It's Mr. Fordham Senior's funeral."
"Yes, Mom."
"Oh, lord." Enna couldn't control her tears again when she heard Janice call her 'Mom'.
"Susie Fordham, my brother's friend," Troy continued.
"Nice to meet you, Ms. Fordham." Ethan offered her a handshake on purpose when he obviously showed no interest in other Fordhams.
Olivia tried her best to keep her cool as she reciprocated the handshake, in which he squeezed her hand lightly.
This man was doing this on purpose! She was sure of it!
Fortunately, he released her very quickly. He didn't cross the line when there were people around.
She retreated to a corner.
Jacqueline and Alexander came over. Wendell presented, "Jacqueline, Alexander, you came just in time. This is your cousin, Ethan."
Alexander met Ethan's eyes, which seemed capable of seeing through one's soul.
Alexander managed his expression. "Hi, Ethan."
