Love Unspoken

Chapter 1576

Chapter 1576

Abigail felt a bit awkward too. She said, "Alright, enough talking. Let's eat. I'm starving."

Orion nodded. "Yeah, let's dig in."

He glanced at Landon, who had been quiet the whole time, and couldn't help but say, "Landon, aren't you the host? Why's Abigail doing all the work?" Landon looked at him, didn't say a word, then picked up his wine glass and stood up. "Thanks for coming, everyone. Cheers." Abigail quickly backed him up, and Oliver followed suit.

Quinn nudged Alexander, signaling him to join in.

So Alexander picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and suddenly coughed.

Everyone turned to look at him.

Quinn asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"

Alexander coughed a few more times, then put down his glass. "It's nothing. Just drank too fast and choked."

Quinn looked at him suspiciously but decided not to push it.

Landon gave Alexander a knowing look, then put down his glass. "Let's eat before the food gets cold."

Everyone ate in silence. Though it was called a gathering, it didn't feel like one.

A gathering is fun when everyone's on the same page. For them, it was just an awkward meal.

It felt like having dinner with your parents.

After finishing the meal, everyone felt relieved.

Abigail went to clean up the dishes and pulled Landon to help.

In the kitchen, she whispered, "Let's not do this again. It was super awkward."

Landon agreed, "So many dishes. I don't even want to wash them."

Abigail smirked. "That's what you're focused on?"

Landon shrugged. "What else?"

Abigail sighed. "Never mind."

Quinn wanted to go home since her two kids were waiting, but she had to wait for Abigail and Landon to finish up. After about half an hour, they finally came out.

Quinn said, "Abigail, we should get going. Thanks for the meal."

Abigail smiled. "Why thank me? You guys did all the cooking."

Quinn was taken aback, then awkwardly smiled. "Alright, we'll head out then."

Abigail nodded. "Okay, you guys should head back early. You should've brought the kids over."

Quinn replied, "They're too noisy. If you want to see them, come over."

Orion said, "Oh right, I haven't seen the little guy yet. Can he walk now?"
