Katherine felt a little awkward. Marshall had said before that he wished they could have dinner together
when Hector came back. At that time, Katherine assumed Marshall would have a good talk with him
since he was a mature and steady man. But now, it seemed that Marshall seized every opportunity to
embarrass Hector. Katherine suddenly realized that she was so wrong about Marshall before. She
shouldn’t have invited him to join them today.
Katherine drew back her hand and rose to her feet. "I think I should wash them." After that, she added,
"Don’t come with me." Then she left the private room.
In fact, Katherine didn’t go to the toilet, but came out of the restaurant and stood at the entrance.
Before long, Khalid arrived.
Katherine knew his car. No sooner had it stopped at the entrance of Kyle’s club than Frances and
Nicolas came out of the building. Khalid got off the car and stood by it.
Katherine was unable to see Khalid’s facial expression. However, since they were all respectable
people, at least they wouldn’t fall out with each other.
Arms crossed, Katherine watched them from across the street. The three of them made small talk for a
while at the entrance of Kyle’s club.
While talking, they turned around occasionally. Katherine looked carefully and found that they were
behaving themselves and actually appeared peaceful together.
Margaret and Eden arrived shortly after. Katherine waved at and greeted them.
Meanwhile, Frances also saw Katherine and patted Khalid on the shoulder.
Tacitly, Khalid nodded and the two of them headed to the restaurant first, while Nicolas caught on a
moment later and followed them.
Katherine saw very clearly that Nicolas was stunned for a second before he threw a glance at Khalid.
Conceivably, a big show was going to be staged. The relationship between people were too chaotic
that Katherine had no idea how to liven up the atmosphere in a while.
Margaret and Eden came hand in hand. Katherine looked down and saw a ring on Margaret’s finger.
She smiled, "Are the invitation cards ready?"
Margaret took out a stack of invitation cards from her bag with a grin. "I’m going to give each person
one at the dinner table in a while."
Katherine pulled out one invitation card, opened it and had a look. Inside was a wedding photo of
Margaret and Eden. The photo was carefully photoshopped and there was a little difference between
the people in the picture and in reality, but the smiles on their faces looked very sincere.
Katherine put the invitation card away. "Congratulations."
Margaret gave a shy smile, while Eden said, "Thank you."
Meanwhile, Frances, Khalid and Nicolas joined them and the group of people went to the private room
together.
The atmosphere in the private room was awkward. Both Marshall and Hector were holding a glass
respectively and saying nothing, while Kyle was cursing. But this time, he wasn’t cursing Rosie, but the
people from the Bennett family.
Different from the way he cursed Rosie, Kyle was being more indignant now. He was almost shouting
abuse at this moment.
Hector, nevertheless, acted as if he couldn’t hear Kyle at all, his stare blank.
Meanwhile, Marshall kept that sly smirk on his face.
Kyle was happy to see so many people coming. Suddenly, he forgot what he was doing five seconds
ago. He asked the crowd to take a seat and said with a grin, "It’s been a long time since I ate with so
many people. I’m so happy today!" After that, he pressed the bell to call the waitress and started to
order dishes.
Kyle, who was even more passionate than the waitress, pointed at the dishes on the menu and
introduced each of them to the group of people.
Katherine was amused by Kyle’s behavior, but she understood why he acted like this. Kyle enjoyed the
company of people, but he had been in a low spirit recently. Now that so many people were eating
together, he couldn’t be happier about it.
The waitress had said nothing during the whole process. When Kyle finally finished introducing the
dishes, they had also done ordering.
The waitress looked at Kyle with a smile. "You’re so happy today, Mr. Haverford."
Kyle waved at the waitress. "Yeah, I am. Go ahead with your work. Serve the food as soon as
possible."
Katherine took a sip of water and thought to herself. Truly, Kyle was happy today, but some of them
weren’t.
Margaret got up and told everyone about the date of Eden and her wedding, which was quite close. As
she was speaking, she handed out the invitation cards, while the others congratulated them.
Kyle looked very carefully at the invitation card and sighed to Hector, "Alas! I wonder when we can
hand out our wedding invitations to our guests."
Hector threw a look at him, saying nothing. He appeared calm, but Katherine knew he wasn’t in a good
mood.
Frances chimed in at this moment, "I think Hector will get married very soon. He has a high approval
rating in the talent show this time, and he’s quite popular among girls."
Katherine was surprised to find that Frances kept up with trends and actually knew how popular Hector
was among girls.
Kyle grumbled at Frances, "So you mean, Hector will be taken soon, while I won’t?"
Frances nodded earnestly. "Yeah, that’s exactly what I mean."
Kyle, who was back in the groove, turned to Katherine. "Katherine, look at her. She’s always so mean
to me. She’s mean to me while playing Bridge, and at the table."
Katherine burst into laughter, while Frances also laughed before casting a look at Khalid.
Khalid was surprised to watch this scene. In the past, Frances had always put on an act and hardly
talked to people, even her peers. But now, she actually joked with Kyle and Katherine, which was
totally unlike her.
Nicolas didn’t know these people very well, so he remained silent. But as a decent adult, he joined in
the fun and laughed with them.
The drinks were served first. Since Kyle was in a good mood, he ordered a lot of alcohol. He opened
the bottles immediately and filled all men’s glasses.
In fact, every man present needed to drive, but since Kyle was so happy, they could only play along.
Khalid took off his coat and said in a relaxed tone, "I’ll get designated drivers for us later. I feel like
having some drinks today."
Kyle chimed in, "Of course we have to drink today! If you can’t get home, you may get a room in my
club."
Kyle thought of everything.
Frances turned to Nicolas and whispered, "Don’t spoil the fun and have a few drinks. We can get
someone to drive you home later."
Nicolas replied, "Well, I’m alright. I can call a cab. My house is not far away from here."
Now that Khalid and Nicolas had no problem drinking alcohol, the younger generation would naturally
have a few drinks too.
Kyle ordered some juice for the ladies at the table. Before the food was served, he raised his glass and
made a sentimental opening speech.
