Chapter 2872

"Erm" Tia hesitated, turning to Stanley.

Stanley gave Tia's hand a squeeze and said to Cindy," There's really no need for any gifts. You're more than welcome to join our next gathering if you like."

"Woah, really? Does that mean we're friends too?" Cindy exclaimed, becoming even more excited as she had no friends here.

"Of course. Just come whenever you want," Lulu chimed in.

"I would love to!" Cindy nodded. "Oh gosh. I'm so happy to be your friend."

She had left her native country and traveled all the way to San Joto for Martin, but the prospect of being able to make more friends delighted her, nonetheless.

"I’ll remember to hit you up the next time we gather," Lulu said.

She then turned to Martin and asked, "Will you join us next time?"

Everyone proceeded to stare at Martin, taking him aback.

Feeling awkward and uncomfortable, he answered, "I'll see how things go."

Martin would usually be indifferent to casual gatherings, but should the occasion be a special one, he would make it a point to show up.

After shooting him a meaningful glance, everyone looked away, not wanting to pressure him into coming along.

With a casual laugh, they turned their attention back to Cindy. "Although there's no guarantee he is coming, you'll have to."

"Aw, you bet I'll be there," Cindy promised, looking forward to the next meet-up already.

As they chatted, Cindy took the opportunity to tell Tia that she would make up for her birthday gift once again, making everyone burst into laughter. They could tell how determined Cindy was, and they found her gesture to be rather cute.

Tia laughed along, having given up on the idea of declining Cindy's offer. She knew that Cindy would just hand her the gift, no matter what she did to refuse.
