Chapter 826

Yvonne shot Simon a glare before turning around and walking away. The yard was not very big, and with over a dozen people squeezed in there, it felt somewhat crowded.

With a skewer of pork belly in her hand, Melanie went to look for Xander. The place was not very big, and most people were crowded together. Xander was standing next to the flower bed, chatting with Oliver. Melanie approached him with the skewer.
