You Hit My Heart by Kylie Stanford

Chapter 1993: Gathering

At noon.

Everyone gathered in the dining hall on the third floor to have lunch together.

Inside the villa, there was a dedicated banquet hall, but it was never used because they never entertained guests.

Mrs. Hurley was in charge of today's meals. In addition to dishes ordered from a Michelin-starred restaurant, she personally prepared many delicacies, filling the long dining table.

Jacqueline sat next to Cecelia, while Joyce and the children sat opposite them.

Wilson and Cullen had been fed and put to sleep. Jane and Mrs. Powell took turns to have their meal, and were now taking care of them in the nursery.

Mrs. Brown assisted Mrs. Hurley in serving the freshly squeezed fruit juice to everyone.

Luther then asked Huffman, "Do you need any?"

Huffman waved his hand, "Thank you for the offer, but I won't be drinking. I have some matters to attend to this afternoon."

Luther nodded and explained to Cecelia, "My brother-in-law is a doctor, and the hospital has specially invited him to perform a few surgeries, so it's not suitable for him to drink. Besides, he doesn't drink." Cecelia laughed, "I've gotten used to having wine with meals in the warlord's territory. I always feel that men should have some wine with their meals."

Luther added, "It's a pity that Dad isn't here today, otherwise everyone would be together."

"You're right, he's getting on in years, but he's still so busy all the time." Cecelia also complained, "I told him that even if the sky falls, he must attend his daughter's wedding."

Joyce said, her voice lowering slightly.
