However, it was a first for them to have their meal with Lucian.

At that moment, various emotions rose in Archie’s and Benny’s hearts.

Lucian stopped in his tracks and turned around to meet Estella’s glistening eyes. He then shifted his gaze to the seat beside them, which had utensils placed on the table near it. His eyes immediately glinted with emotion.
