“You’ve come, do come in.”

In order to entertain him, Jenna had already cooked up a storm in the kitchen and prepared a sumptuous dinner.
All there was left to do was to wait for him to come for dinner.
“It’s nice to see you, Mr.Xavier, Mrs.Xavier.”

“Alright, go wash your hands and join us at the table.Everyone has been waiting for you.”
Jenna welcomed him with a grin and then said, “Elaine doesn’t know what you like to eat, so I only cooked some of our usual dishes.”

“It’s okay, I’m not a picky eater.”

Elaine ate dinner silently.

Elaine’s hand froze in midair, and she leaned forward and placed her ear against the door.
She did not understand.
What could not he tell her? Ian was silent for a while and only opened his mouth after a long time.
“I don’t want her to worry too much.” Edward sighed.
