There weren’t many people at the dinner, just a small group.

11)

When Taylor arrived, he wondered if it was a bit of a waste to prepare so much food for just a few people. But as soon as he stepped into the dining room, he spotted two teenagers at the table.

Vic and Jeremy had assigned themselves the role of making sure the atmosphere stayed lively.

The moment Taylor walked in, they were all over him.

Both of them were good–looking and knew how to win over their elders with just the right amount of charm.

“Mr. Johnson, I’ve admired you ever since I saw that news piece about you. Can’t believe I finally get to meet you in person!”

“Since you’re Yvonne’s mentor now, that makes us practically family. Come on, take a seat!”

With them around, there was never a dull moment. Laughter echoed through the windows, filling the air with warmth.

Laura stood outside, having followed Taylor all the way there, but never managing to find the courage to speak.

It wasn’t until she overheard Vic mention that Taylor was actually Yvonne’s teacher that it finally hit her.

Just then, a servant walked by, carrying dishes. Swallowing her excitement, Laura turned around and made her way back to her yard.

On her way, she ran into her mother.

Unable to hold it in, she hurried over, eyes shining. “Mom! Uncle Kelvin invited Yvonne’s teacher over for dinner! It’s Mr. Taylor Johnson, the one I told you about!”

Carol’s expression shifted to shock the moment she heard Taylor’s name. But as soon as she realized he was here for Yvonne, her excitement dimmed.
