“Alright, then. We shall head out.”

Larissa gathered her belongings and pulled Kevan toward the exit.

“I’ll come pick you up tomorrow moming. It’s almost the big family reunion dinner day.

“So, it’s hard to find a cab on the road. You might even lind yourself waiting for hall a day without coming across an

empty cab.”

Gary didn’t reluse.

Instead, he recursted, “Then, you come alone tomorrow.”

Her steps hesitated a moment, and she sighed Inwardly.

Kevan lightened his grip on her hand and smiled.

“Take it slow; there has to be a gradual process.”

He didn’t expect Gary to change his attitude overnight.

He chuckled.

Larissa defended him, saying, “It’s not that Kevan d dn’t want to host them. Rather, my dad and brother haven’t

“Ah, I see… Well alright then.”

Anthony put his hand on her shoulder and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Larissa and Kevin also exchanged concerned glances.

Aster set down his spoon, hopped out of his chair, and rushed over to Violet’s side.

He grabbed her arm and asked nervously, “Grandma, what’s wrong

Violet immediately managed a smile and patted Aster’s head.

She explained. “I’m just so happy.”

He didn’t quite grasp it and tilted his head with at arted look

“Why cry when you’re happy?”

“You’ll understand when you grow up.” Violet’s smile deepened.

She then gazed at each person in the room one by one, sighin “Aher all these years, today, there is finally a het
