S31 98. Jeremy’s Plan

Eva’s eyes sparkled when she saw the menu served on the dining table. She often went to restaurants with the men she dated. However, the dishes they ordered had never been so luxurious.

“Wow, I’m really honored. I just came to visit my mother. I didn’t expect you to welcome me with this special dinner.”

The people around her exchanged glances. Even the twins’ eyes widened to the maximum. Only Ava didn’t dare to raise her head. She just focused on preparing food for her mother who was sitting next to

her.

“This dinner is not to welcome you, Eva,” Louis said unexpectedly. This is to welcome Mrs. Connor.”

Several people could not help but smile. They thought Eva deserved those words. If Barbara had been there, she would have laughed and whispered with Philip.

“Louis, why did you talk like that?” Kara rebuked gently. “Eva is Mrs. Connor’s daughter. If we welcome her mother, that means we

welcome her too.”

“But Louis is right, Mommy. We’re here to celebrate Mrs. Connor’s recovery, not to welcome Eva. We didn’t even know she was coming.

In order to cover up her embarrassment, Eva faked a laugh. “Yes, that’s what I meant. I feel lucky to be invited to this dinner. Thank you for your generosity, Harper Family.”

Ava secretly glanced at her sister. She wondered if Eva’s veins had broken or what. How could she mention the Harper family with confidence? While in fact, there were Vivian and Melanie who did not have the last name Harper.

Not wanting the atmosphere to become stiff, Vivian spread her arms. “Since dinner time has arrived, let’s enjoy it. Who wants to lead the prayer?”

Louis raised his hands high. “I have prepared a special prayer for tonight. May I lead the prayer?”

Vivian chuckled. After Louis said a very sweet prayer, they ate

“Ava, don’t forget your plate. You must eat too while feeding your mother.”

“If not, do it alternately with Eva so you still have time to eat.”

Eva who was about to eat the last bite spontaneously froze. Noticing the glances from the others, she put her spoon back on the plate.
