The meal was incredibly harmonious. My mom, being thoughtful, had already recognized Zoey, but perhaps to spare her any discomfort, she didn’t show it
She still treated Zoey like a guest.
However, a keen observer would see that tonight’s dinner catered to both my and Zoey’s tastes, with spicy dishes for me and lighter ones for her.
The table was filled with dishes from all over the world, and Zoey didn’t seem to think much of it.
It was Bill, on the other hand, who had a sneaky vibe about him, constantly serving food to everyone- from my mother to Carter and me, even Nicholas–before the last piece of spare ribs finally made it to Zoey’s plate.
He appeared to believe that such an act would never catch him.
Nicholas was perplexed after receiving his meal.
Wait! Has this guy losing his mind? He actually came up with a devious plan to gain favor and make me uncomfortable.
Nicholas found it disgusting but didn’t want to seem rude, as he was a cultured man.
Internally, he cursed Bill for his malicious method.
I watched as Nicholas quietly pushed the ginger Bill had placed in his plate aside.
Carter, on the other hand, was blissfully unaware of the drama, focusing only on serving me.
My mom served me a piece of food and then repeated the same action for Zoey.
Janice, don’t be shy here; just treat it like home.”
Zoey was slightly more at ease now, nodding enthusiastically. “Okay.”
Bill stood up and said, “The soup’s still simmering in the kitchen. Let me bring it out.”
He walked around serving soup to everyone, but Nicholas quickly pulled back his bowl. “Thanks, I’m good.”
Then, Nicholas served mom some vegetables. He said. Philippa, you haven’t had much vegetable lately. You need to keep a balanced diet.”
Bill rushed to serve Zoey soup and joined the battle
“She’s not a rabbit and doesn’t need to eat so many vegetables. Eat some fish to get protein.”
Nicholas countered, “Eat the marrow, for calcium.”
Bill fired back, “Eat pork liver, for iron.”
Mom had no words.
Her plate was overflowing with food.

I was overcome with complicated feelings; when men acted childish, it was like dealing with a three–year- old.
Zoey had a small smile on her face.
It was nice. Mom had finally come out of the dark place she’d been in.
