Chapter 57 Mrs Gardner

When Queenie returned home, Lydia was playing bridge with a group of other women. She was clad in a form-fitting dress, and her makeup was carefully done. Although she was over fifty, Lydia only appeared to be in her early forties due to her excellent skincare routine.

However, what followed was a bunch of gossip.

“Queenie’s been courting Mr. Gardner for a few years now. She’s still just his fiancée. When will they tie the knot? Her status in society will be different once she is officially Mrs. Gardner.”
