"Visitors! What visitors are you talking about." Desmond asked looking confused.
"Oh honey, I forgot to mention that I invited Gwen, her mother and her aunt for the family dinner," Harriet replied casually, stroking the petals of her sunflower and sniffing in the somewhat sweet and subtle fragrance.
"You invited them without informing me first?" Desmond's forehead furrowed in slight annoyance. "How could you?"
Harriet met his question with a withering smile, clearly unimpressed. "What do you mean by, 'how could I'? Aren't Gwen and her mother part of our extended family anymore? Or is there something you're trying to hint at?"
Desmond's heart skipped a beat as he answered almost immediately. "No."
Harriet raised a brow and he chuckled feverishly.
"Why don't you finish up here while I go and welcome our guest?" Desmond suggested while walking away.
"Whatever you say, honey." A sly grin curled up the side of Harriet's lips as she watched her husband disappear out of sight.
