Chapter 1008 Sylvia winced, and it showed in her lips.

Unimpressed by Queenie’s appearance, Madam Stockton furrowed her brows and gave the former a look to wash up. Alas, Queenie’s full attention was on Isabel who was trying to run away. Unaware of the looks she was getting, Queenie picked Isabel up and pinned the girl down on the seat next to her.

Isabel, held by the scuff of her neck, helplessly remarked, “Miss Lion, you can’t find a boyfriend if you’re so nasty and rough.”

Queenie glared at her. “I might not get a boyfriend, but I’m still going to hold you down!”

Madam Stockton averted her gaze, pretending to see nothing while extending hospitality to Odell and Sylvia. “Mr. and Mrs. Carter, don’t be a stranger. Make yourselves at home.”

She was clearly trying to steer Odell and Sylvia’s attention away from Queenie’s hair.

Sylvia courteously responded before placing a napkin over her lap.

Apart from the occasional bickering between Queenie and Isabel, it was a pleasant lunch.

At the end of lunch, most people had put down their cutleries .

Sylvia had also put down her silverware and discreetly held the paper bag of food in her hands.
