Prev Chapter Next Chapter

Kyle made a quite sincere opening remarks. Firstly, he mentioned his bad rap. Then he said that he

hadn’t had true friends before but some cronies to hang out with. Later, Hector came back and then he

met Katherine. After that, he got close to Marshall too, and then came Margaret.

With that, Kyle threw a glance at Frances and gave a shy smile, saying, "To be honest, I didn’t really

like Ms. Mason before, because she hated me, and I could tell." Then he turned to Frances and

continued, "Come on, Ms. Mason. Tell me the truth. Did you tell Marshall to keep away from me?"

Covering her mouth, Frances chuckled, "I know you didn’t like me before. I don’t even like who I was."

As for the last question Kyle asked her, Frances confessed, "I did so because I thought you were a bad

influence on Marshall."

Kyle snorted and grumbled, "Seems that you don’t know your son is a bad influence himself." Then he

cast a glance at Khalid. Kyle didn’t know him that well because they hadn’t met many times before. But

Khalid was gentle. Even if Kyle wasn’t a fan of Frances before, Khalid had left a good impression on

Kyle.

Kyle didn’t talk about the relationship between Khalid and him. He just said that Khalid was too steady

and that he wished he could change a bit like Frances.

Khalid nodded in earnest. "Well, I agree with you. It’s time to make some changes."

After that, Kyle talked about Eden and Nicolas. Kyle didn’t know Nicolas very well. They had only met

once before at the entrance of the club, but Kyle still told him politely that he was welcomed to his

recreation club.

As for Eden, since Margaret and he were about to get married, Kyle naturally took him as a friend.

Kyle talked about everyone at the table before taking his seat and sighing, "Tonight should have been

about Hector, but now I’m stealing his show. I’m sorry, Hector."

The group of people burst into laughter again.

Since Kyle was a regular to the restaurant, as well as the VIP, the food was served in no time.

Katherine, who had been waiting for the food, started drooling at the sight of the dishes. These days,

she wanted to eat whenever she smelt the food, no matter she was hungry or not.

Marshall put some shelled shrimps in Katherine’s bowl.

Hector sat across from Katherine. During the meal, he only glanced up at her and Marshall for once

and never looked their way again. He seemed to be in the middle of something because his phone kept

vibrating. However, Hector simply threw a glance at his phone occasionally. Katherine supposed that it

must be about the talent show.

Kyle hadn’t talked about the Bennett family or Rosie during dinner, probably because he didn’t want to

spoil the mood. Instead, he asked Eden and Margaret about their preparations for the wedding to liven

up the atmosphere. But to prepare a wedding was a tough job, and there wasn’t anything fun to talk

about.

When it came to the wedding, Margaret was overwhelmed with anxiety. She never expected that there

would be so much to do. She was worn out on the day when they took the wedding photos. Then

Margaret asked Katherine how long it had taken her to have their wedding photos done.

Smiling, Katherine said that she had forgotten about it. But in fact, it didn’t take long, because Marshall

didn’t want to waste too much time on it and he just went through the motions. Usually, some of the

photos should be taken outdoors, but he chose to skip them. In a word, he didn’t take the wedding

photos very seriously back then.

Now that it was brought up again, Marshall felt a little upset about it. He took Katherine’s hand, telling

her that he would take some pregnancy photos with her when her underbelly grew bigger. He said very

affectionately, and sincerely.

Margaret nodded. "You two have always loved each other, so it doesn’t matter whether you take

wedding photos or not." Then she smiled and sighed, "I envy you guys."

Frances chimed in at this moment, "What’s to envy? You’ve also found the one you love."

Margaret turned to Eden immediately and corrected herself. "Yeah, I have."

After that, the men started to make toasts and drink.

Oddly though, Khalid was warm to anyone except for Nicolas, and vice versa. Nicolas talked to anyone

like an old friend but Khalid.

The case was the same with Marshall and Hector. There was no communication between the two of

them, but they were kind to others respectively.

Katherine chuckled. She had long expected this. It was a wrong thing to do to have invited Marshall to

this dinner today.

During the meal, Margaret asked Katherine about her pregnancy. Seemingly, Margaret planned to get

pregnant after the wedding, so she asked Katherine about every detail she could think of. Meanwhile,

Eden also leaned in to listen to them.

Katherine hadn’t talked with Eden many times, but judging from the few times they were together, she

could tell he was kind to Margaret.

Kyle also brought up the talent show Hector participated in. He hadn’t done it himself before, so he was

curious and asked Hector about many details of the show.

Hector answered him briefly. Then he seemed to think of something, glanced up at Katherine and went

on, "Actually, I regret having joined the show, but it’s too late for me to quit now."

Marshall acted as if he heard nothing, but put more food into Katherine’s bowl. He said to her with a

tender smile, "Come on, eat this. Don’t drink too much juice, or you’ll get hungry very soon."

Kyle didn’t quite understand what Hector meant. He asked in surprise, "What? Is it because you

haven’t done well? No way! Rosalie told me she’d arrange a good ranking for you."

Hector chuckled and drank the wine in one gulp. When he raised his glass, his eyes were filled with

loneliness. However, once he put it down, he put on that indifferent look again.

Katherine pretended not to understand him, focusing on her food. She originally thought the others

would feel uneasy during the meal, but now it seemed that she was also one of them.

Once the women were full, they called it quits, but the men were still drinking and eating. After a while,

Katherine, Margaret and Frances went to the sofa aside and sat down.

Nicolas cast a glance at Frances and then looked back, but on the halfway, he happened to see Khalid

turning around to look at him, which arose his will to fight, so he scowled at Khalid in return.

Khalid, nevertheless, wasn’t glaring at him, but staring at him indifferently, as if he didn’t take Nicolas

seriously at all.

Anger welled up inside Nicolas. He raised his glass at Khalid. "Mr. Grant, glad to meet you. A toast to

you."

Rising to the occasion, Khalid raised his glass and gulped down the wine without saying anything.

Nicolas drank the wine in one gulp right after that. The two men turned their glasses upside down to

show each other that they had drunk up the wine.

Hector answered him briefly. Then he seemed to think of something, glanced up at Katherine and went

on, "Actually, | regret having joined the show, but it’s too late for me to quit now."

Marshall acted as if he heard nothing, but put more food into Katherine’s bowl. He said to her with a

tender smile, "Come on, eat this. Don’t drink too much juice, or you'll get hungry very soon."
