Since Jeffery spoke, Chloe took a seat. To her left was Jeffery, and to her right, Connor. It was a prime spot for sure. But the looks she received were a mixed bag of emotions. Chloe glanced around.

"Chloe, this is my sister Madison..." Chloe greeted everyone politely. Among the faces at the table, there were a few she knew. Marian and Pax, of course, and Kaitlyn.

Chloe had met Kaitlyn at Marian's birthday party, where Lisa had deliberately spilled red wine on her dress, and Kaitlyn had kindly lent her a replacement. Chloe smiled at Kaitlyn. With a playful tone, Kaitlyn said, "Last time, I called you Chloe. Now, it's Aunt Chloe."

Valeria's kids Charlie and Hannah joined in the teasing, "Yeah, Aunt Chloe is so young and pretty. It's kinda embarrassing for us to admit she's our aunt when we bump into her outside." Charlie nudged Pax beside him, "Right, bro?"
