“We just came. Why isn’t Godmother here yet?” Jewel asked. Brian took off his jacket and hung it on the coat rack. “She’s at home with Mrs. Fritz. She says she’s not coming so that we young ones can have our fun by ourselves.”
“Oh, but I wanted to talk to her!” He chuckled. “You sound a lot better when you speak now, Jewel.” She smiled. ‘Really? I can’t talk a lot, though.”
“You keep getting impatient, but you’ve improved a lot now. Don’t you agree, Brian?” Alex remarked. “Yeah. You’ve improved very quickly,” Brian agreed.
As they chatted, Eugene and his little family, along with Nathan and Kate, had arrived. This was the first gathering with so many of them present. They all exchanged their greetings before taking their seats.
The three women sat together while the four men and one little guy all sat on the other side, staring at the women who were busy talking among themselves. “Has anyone placed an order yet?” Eugene asked.
“We were waiting for you. You’re buying, so we wouldn’t dream of ordering before you came,” Alex explained. Eugene side-eyed him. “You sound so convincing. I’m starting to believe that you’ve always been so courteous!” Alex snorted in disagreement. “Hah! I’ve always been like this, okay?”
Eugene tossed the menu to Brian. “I’ll leave the order to you since it’s your restaurant. Help us choose all the restaurant’s specialties.”
Brian wasn’t bothered by Eugene’s careless attitude. He ordered a few things before passing the menu back to the server. As they waited for the food to be served, Olivia muttered to Kate, “How are things going between you and Nathan?”
