"Let's go inside." Simone noticed Dustin was uncomfortable. She took his arm and led him in.
As soon as they entered the living room, everyone stood up when they saw
Dustin.
"Have a seat," Alvern said with a smile. He pulled out the chair at the head of the table and signaled for Dustin to sit.
That seat was usually reserved for Alvern.
Not long ago, Dustin did not even have a seat here, but this time, everyone was trying to get him to sit in the most important spot.
"I don't want to sit there." Dustin took Simone's hand and simply chose two other seats.
"Wherever you want to sit is fine," Alvern said with a smile and motioned for everyone to sit down.
The family dinner began.
But no one started eating until Dustin did. They all stared at him, and the atmosphere felt awkward.
"Dustin, eat up," said Simone and broke the silence as she put some food on his plate.
Only then did Dustin start eating.
When they saw this, the Langley family smiled and finally started eating too.
"Dustin," Alvern called. Everyone quickly stopped eating and fell silent.
Alvern picked up a wine glass and stood up.
"In the past, we were wrong. We didn't recognize how important you were and treated you poorly.
"Now, we sincerely apologize and hope you can forgive us. Let me toast to you."
The other Langley family members stood up with their glasses, ready to toast and apologize to Dustin.
Everyone, both older and younger, showed great respect for him. No one dared to act any other way.
Dustin sat in silence.
Simone noticed and softly nudged him.
Only then did Dustin pick up his wine glass and drink it all in one go.
The Langley family smiled. After finishing their wine, they sat back down.
