Chapter 1660 Dinner Begins

Old Mrs. Constance came downstairs a while later. She didn’t feel too great for the last couple of days, so she

mostly stayed upstairs.

When she came down, Cindy greeted her like everyone did.

Old Mrs. Constance looked like a kind old woman. She stared at Ian and Cindy, then she nodded. “This must be Ian’s

girlfriend. They’re a lovely couple.”

That only made Cindy even more uneasy. Now that she had met Ian’s friends, it’d be bad for him if they broke up in

the future.

Old Mrs. Constance could mingle with them all. She had heard about Aurora’s past, so when she sat down to talk,

she brought up Aurora’s old career and even hummed some of her songs.

Aurora was obviously delighted. “Nobody remembers those now.”

Old Mrs. Constance lamented, “They are classics. Talk of the town, really.”

Aurora sighed. Those were her glory days, but she pushed her luck and ruined her future.

They chatted for a while longer, and William came back, though he was surprised to see that there were so many

people in his house.

Old Mrs. Constance smiled. “Got the wrong place?”

William smiled as well. “I almost thought I did. It’s been forever since we had so many guests.”

Now that everyone was really here, it was time for dinner. They went to the dining hall, and since it was really big,

everyone could get seated comfortably.

It was the first time Cindy ever saw how a rich family truly acted. She remembered researching Sophia online and

reading about her background, and she wasn’t bragging, but Sophia came from a much worse position than she

did. Even so, Sophia still managed to handle herself well in this household. It was apparent that John loved her.

The Constances didn’t look down on her just because of her background. Cindy noticed that Matilda was actually

defensive of Sophia too. Even though most people said it was important for a couple to come from two families

with similar backgrounds, love would always overcome that.

Sophia made a lot of food that night, and it almost filled the whole table. John even uncorked two bottles of wine.

The baby was kind enough to go to sleep not long after they sat down, so nobody disturbed them.

After what happened last time, Cindy promised she’d never drink again. However, when Sophia was trying to fill her

glass up, she couldn’t bring herself to say no. All she could do was hold her glass with both hands and thank Sophia

after she filled her glass up.

Sophia smiled. “You don’t have to be so formal. You’re already family once you start dating Ian.”

Ian said nothing, while Cindy nodded with a smile.

Since the ladies were drinking, the men wouldn’t lose out to them. Case in point, Ian got his glass filled to the brim.

Cindy was still a little reserved when the dinner started, since she only knew Aurora and Ian. Seeing everyone

chatting happily made her feel like an outsider.

However, Sophia took good care of her. Sometimes she’d lead the conversation to Cindy, though it was mostly

about her work. She never teased Cindy’s relationship with Ian and only asked about her. Thanks to that, Cindy was

slowly feeling more at ease.

Ian was covering for her as well. He’d take the food for her if it was too far away. Even though they would argue for

no reason in private, he was still a gentleman in this kind of situation.

Cindy felt a lot better halfway into the meal and even joked with Sophia at the expense of Ian.

William was friendly as well, contrary to what Cindy thought he would be.
