“Mm.” Cordelia nodded. “I heard it from mom. Think there are a lot of people invited.”
“Yeah, other than everyone in the family, there are also those who are closer to us from the three major families. Fredric and Seth will be attending too. They’re both very important guests.”
Zephyr lowered his head to rub their noses together. “Of course, the main purpose of this dinner is to celebrate Mr. and Mrs. Irwin!”
…
Hamerton Manor was merrily filled with guests come weekend.
Liam was a traditionalist, but he had hosted a sophisticated event this time, an exception, to cater to the younger generation.
Fredric was a huge contributor to the matter and was the Hamertons’ VIP. In addition to being a famous lawyer in Centrolis and an eligible bachelor, he became the center of attention.
Zephyr’s female cousins, who made a long trip here, surrounded Fredric, so the latter did not even have the chance to take a bite.
Seth kept Zennie company, but the little princess wore a constant pout. The doctor kept her company, but in actuality, they were eating while she was tested on math—he could even make up a problem about how a cake could be divided!
Josiah came with Kelly and was the focal point of attention at that instant. There were talks about a union between the Bayers and the Tanners. The Bayer parents had always been open, and their attitude was increasingly clear. It seemed that the rumor was true.
The union of both families would mean a joint of equal power, and the pair was a match made in heaven. It was a joyous occasion, no matter how one looked at it.
What was most interesting was that Janine and Kate had attended the event together. Henry, sandwiched between his ex and current wife, looked done with life as he stayed silent.
Janine and Kate, who took in how he looked, rolled their eyes at him in unison and smiled at each other despite Henry being in the center, greeting each other warmly.
“Kate!”
“Janine! Oh, you’re gorgeous today!”
“Not more than you! You look more than ten years younger dressed like this!”
