Griselda and Mallory were both bustling about in the kitchen, preparing and chopping vegetables. Zachary was also there, deveining shrimp and chopping ribs,

Only Allison and two children were in the living room

Lenora glanced at Mallory, then at Johanne who was busy marinating chicken legs. The couple seemed to be having issues, with no signs of communication or interaction at all. Mallory wouldn't even glance at Johanne. Johanne had tried several times to catch Mallory's attention. only to withdraw his gaze each time.

The reunion dinner was incredibly lavish, with a whole table filled to the brim.

When it was time for dinner, the family gradually gathered and sat around the table.

Mallory deliberately chose her seat and gestured toward the spot next to Lenora "Add two children's chairs here, so Ryan and Hattie can sit together."

Lenora knew she didn't want to sit with Johanne, so she simply nodded in agreement.

When Tamara descended the stairs. Harrietta was already comfortably seated next to Lenora, engaged in conversation with Ryan.

A hint of displeasure was evident on her face. As she took a seat next to Allison, she called out to Harrietta, "Hattie, come over here."

Harrietta looked up and pouted, "Grandma, I want to sit with Aunt Lenora."

Before Lenora could speak, Mallory interjected, "Aunt Tamara, let Hattie sit here with Ryan."

She used the child as an excuse to speak on behalf of Lenora.

Tamara wanted to say something more, but Allison tugged at her wrist. "Cut it out. We're having a reunion dinner."

Tamara gave Lenora a cold glance, then remained silent.

During dinner, Johanne took the initiative to serve Mallory some dishes. However, Mallory didn't spare him a glance, nor did she touch any of the food he had served her. After having their reunion dinner, they gathered in the living room and played poker.

Meanwhile, Lenora and Harrietta played dice at the dining table.

Ryan joined Harrietta, and they soon scampered off to the courtyard to play.

Only Lenora and Mallory were left at the table.
