When I didn’t pick up my coffee cup, she stiffened and lowered her head. “You’re not going to accept my apology?”

It took me a moment to react, but then I grabbed my cup and tapped it against hers. “I accept.”

Isabelle gave a small smile. “Alright then, all our old grudges are wiped clean. Ryan, mind if I sit down and eat with you?”

Ryan gave her a look, clearly annoyed. “Trying to get close to Uncle Ryan, huh?”

Isabelle’s cheeks flushed, but she nodded boldly. “Uncle Ryan’s been overseas for ages. I haven’t had a meal with him in over half a year. Come on, let me join you.”

Ryan finally cracked a smile. “Alright, go add a couple more dishes. We didn’t save you a spot.”

Isabelle happily pushed the door open and left. A moment later, she came back in with Edward.

Edward kept to himself, even with Isabelle sitting right beside him, not saying much or making conversation.

“When’s Nora coming back? I haven’t seen her in forever,” Isabelle smiled as she asked about Nora.

Edward said, “She’s not really interested in coming back with me. Plus, she’s still studying overseas and doesn’t have time
