Wen being unable to yank Hearst's chain to get a reaction was just great. It shows just how much Hearst has grown, and he is now able to stand up to his brother and family. I'm thinking that Jamie might have a bit to do with that. Wen is still exactly the same person he always has been, and he showed us that with his reaction to Hearst's offer of help and his petulant exit. I'm definitely enjoying his apparent misfortune. Living well is always the best revenge. I'm looking forward to the epilogue, but at the same time, I'm sad because I know this story and the Sunny HIll saga is coming to a close.
You could balm my sadness by doing a big wedding chapter for Jamie and Hearst and bring in all of the characters from this story into the ending. A 15,000 word chapter is a piece of cake for you, Laura.🤣
