Tiffany became even more distressed. “L.”

With a bang. Josiah set down his cutlery, his tone laced with impatience as he snapped, “It’s not your place to ask that question, is it?”

Though the words were delivered with an air of nonchalance, they held a somewhat intimidating force.

The moment he put down his cutlery, Howard, who had just scooped some greens, was so surprised that his hand trembled, and they fell right off. Even Susan was somewhat startled, raising her head to look at

Josiah meticulously peeled a shrimp, his slender fingers revealing surprising strength. With just a few deft movements, he had the shrimp completely peeled, which he then placed on Tiffany’s plate.

“Have a shrimp.”

Tiffany bit her lip, not daring to speak.

Josiah peeled another one, placing it on Susan’s plate. “Mom, you should eat too.”

“Ah, okay.”

“Mr. Thorne, I remember you’re allergic to seafood, so I won’t peel one for you. Please, take whatever you

Josiah said calmly. “We used to be family, but not anymore.”

He then took the initiative to smooth things over. “Josiah, even if you’re not my son–in–law, you’re still someone Molly and I watched grow up. We share so many years of bond, and you’re still considered. family in the future.”

Josiah didn’t say much. He picked up the red wine glass by his side. “Mr. Thorne, let me toast you.”

“All right then.”

When the glasses clinked together, their rims were perfectly aligned.
