Kyle made a quite sincere opening remarks. Firstly, he mentioned his bad rap. Then he said that he hadn’t had true friends before but some cronies to hang out with. Later, Hector came back and then he met Katherine. After that, he got close to Marshall too, and then came Margaret.
With that, Kyle threw a glance at Frances and gave a shy smile, saying, "To be honest, I didn’t really like Ms. Mason before, because she hated me, and I could tell." Then he turned to Frances and continued, "Come on, Ms. Mason. Tell me the truth. Did you tell Marshall to keep away from me?"
Covering her mouth, Frances chuckled, "I know you didn’t like me before. I don’t even like who I was." As for the last question Kyle asked her, Frances confessed, "I did so because I thought you were a bad influence on Marshall."
Kyle snorted and grumbled, "Seems that you don’t know your son is a bad influence himself." Then he cast a glance at Khalid. Kyle didn’t know him that well because they hadn’t met many times before. But Khalid was gentle. Even if Kyle wasn’t a fan of Frances before, Khalid had left a good impression on Kyle.
Kyle didn’t talk about the relationship between Khalid and him. He just said that Khalid was too steady and that he wished he could change a bit like Frances.
Khalid nodded in earnest. "Well, I agree with you. It’s time to make some changes."
After that, Kyle talked about Eden and Nicolas. Kyle didn’t know Nicolas very well. They had only met once before at the entrance of the club, but Kyle still told him politely that he was welcomed to his recreation club.
As for Eden, since Margaret and he were about to get married, Kyle naturally took him as a friend.
Kyle talked about everyone at the table before taking his seat and sighing, "Tonight should have been about Hector, but now I’m stealing his show. I’m sorry, Hector."
The group of people burst into laughter again.
Since Kyle was a regular to the restaurant, as well as the VIP, the food was served in no time.
Katherine, who had been waiting for the food, started drooling at the sight of the dishes. These days, she wanted to eat whenever she smelt the food, no matter she was hungry or not.
Marshall put some shelled shrimps in Katherine’s bowl.
Hector sat across from Katherine. During the meal, he only glanced up at her and Marshall for once and never looked their way again. He seemed to be in the middle of something because his phone kept vibrating. However, Hector simply threw a glance at his phone occasionally. Katherine supposed that it must be about the talent show.
Kyle hadn’t talked about the Bennett family or Rosie during dinner, probably because he didn’t want to spoil the mood. Instead, he asked Eden and Margaret about their preparations for the wedding to liven up the atmosphere. But to prepare a wedding was a tough job, and there wasn’t anything fun to talk about.
When it came to the wedding, Margaret was overwhelmed with anxiety. She never expected that there would be so much to do. She was worn out on the day when they took the wedding photos. Then Margaret asked Katherine how long it had taken her to have their wedding photos done.
Smiling, Katherine said that she had forgotten about it. But in fact, it didn’t take long, because Marshall didn’t want to waste too much time on it and he just went through the motions. Usually, some of the photos should be taken outdoors, but he chose to skip them. In a word, he didn’t take the wedding photos very seriously back then.
Now that it was brought up again, Marshall felt a little upset about it. He took Katherine’s hand, telling her that he would take some pregnancy photos with her when her underbelly grew bigger. He said very affectionately, and sincerely.
Margaret nodded. "You two have always loved each other, so it doesn’t matter whether you take wedding photos or not." Then she smiled and sighed, "I envy you guys."
