Chapter 24

Silas nodded upon Shane’s orders. Suddenly remembering something, he piped up, “Mr. Shane, there’s still one more thing.”

“What is it?”

“When you were in the meeting earlier, Mr. Baker called and asked you out for dinner. He probably wants to ask you about the paternity test.”

“Okay,” replied Shane curtly.

At night, Joyce had just arrived at the Moonlight Restaurant, carrying two huge gift bags. “Sorry, Nat. I’m late.”

“It’s fine. We’ve just arrived too! Take a seat.” Natalie pulled a chair out for her.

Joyce sat down and passed a bag each to Connor and Sharon. “Happy birthday, darlings!”

“Thank you, Aunt Joyce!” The children received the gifts happily and kissed both of her cheeks.

Joyce laughed jovially, her eyes crinkling into tiny crescents. “Have you ordered anything yet?”

“Nope. We can’t possibly order when Aunt Joyce hasn’t reached yet. Here you go.” Natalie passed the menu to Joyce.

Taking it over, Joyce flipped the menu open and ordered two dishes that Connor and Sharon liked. Then, she passed the menu back to the waiter.

Soon, the waiter pushed a trolley over and served the dishes.
