The dinner held in the spacious hall of Crawford Mansion was simple but very intimate. It was held in celebration of Elisa and Ethan's wedding and for their upcoming first son. Also, Ace's successful operation was included in the celebration.
The long rectangular table draped with pristine white cloth stood at the center of the hall. Huge selection of mouth-watering food was spread on top of it.
The chairs surrounding the long table were fully occupied. For the first time after more than a month of separation, I was able to share dinner with my whole family again. I missed this kind of bonding and I revelled at the sight of seeing my whole family together as they talked happily on their seats.
There was only one person missing for me—it was Ace. But knowing that he's out of danger eased my worries a lot and I contentedly began to eat while listening to the comforting sound of voices in the background.
