Stark family and the Larson family. Chapter 6 A Brief Introduction
Stephanie tightened her grip on Amy's hand. Her eyes flickered as she looked in Myrna's direction and whispered, "Grandma, did you hear what that man just said? He said that Myrna's biological grandfather was in that private room..." Wasn't Myrna's family from the countryside?
How could they book a private room at Watershed Restaurant?
At this thought, everyone in the Stark family looked bad. However, there were outsiders around. so it was inconvenient for them to discuss it. They had to set aside their doubts and follow the waiter to the place they had booked.

Myrna followed Calvin in
Harold Payne, who was sitting in a wheelchair, asked someone to push him over and excitedly grabbed Myrna's hand. With tears in his eyes, he said, "Are you Myrna? Good girl. After all these years, I finally found you. I was afraid that I would die before I found you. Then I'd be ashamed to see your mom after I died..."
Myrna looked at Harold's gray hair. Judging from the expression on his face, he didn't seem to be play-acting. His bright piercing eyes were now filled with tears, indicating how excited he was. Moreover, his hand was trembling. Myrna had never felt this way before, and she also became as emotional as the elderly man who was holding her hand and chattering.
Harold had seen much of the world. He lost control of his emotions for a moment, but gradually, he managed to control himself. However, his eyes were still red because he had tears in his eyes before. Holding Myrna's hand, he Chapter 6 A Brief Introduction
began to introduce the people in the room one by
one.
"Myrna, this is your dad, Charles Payne. He's a teacher."
Calvin raised his eyes and leaned against the wall, watching Harold introduce the members of the Payne family to Myrna.
Charles was a professor at Craydon University, but Harold just said that he was a teacher.
Charles wore a suit. His eyes were red as he clenched his hands into fists as if trying to control his emotions.
Myrna had a vague idea of her father, but Harold was waiting for her to greet Charles. She pursed her lips and looked at the middle-aged man with clear eyes. "Dad."Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
"Good girl." Charles' eyes turned red, and he quickly looked away, afraid of revealing his emotions.

Chapter 6 A Brief Introduction
Harold breathed a sigh of relief and gently introduced the other members of the family to Myrna.
"That's your uncle, Patrick Payne, his wife Camryn Payne, and his daughter Kristin Payne. Patrick is a businessman, and Kristin is about your age. You've seen her brother, Blake Payne.
Myrna looked over and saw a girl about her age standing next to a couple. Kristin and Camryn looked indifferent. They reluctantly nodded to Myrna for Harold's sake. Patrick looked nice and greeted Myrna affectionately. "Nice to meet you guys," Myrna greeted gently.
Harold was full of joy. He didn't want Myrna to immediately fit into the Payne family. He was satisfied to see that Myrna didn't resist.
He took Myrna's hand and asked, "Are you hungry? You haven't had lunch yet, have you?
Come on, let's eat. Charles, let the waiter serve the dishes."
