Gwendolyn’s fierce gaze engrossed Nico so much that he asked in a daze, “What do you mean?”

Crinkling her eyes in a smile, she replied, “The banquet taking place a few days from now will definitely be entertaining.”

“Kieran is taking care of it. You should ignore it and have your breakfast first,” Treyton urged.

Cedrick did not say anything, nor did he move. Holding his arm, Treyton guided him to a chair.
