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.
