    Caroline yfully teased, “Eira and I will be really busy if you don’te.”


    Puzzled, Neil asked, “Aren’t Scott and Kenny helping out? Isn’t Paige there?”


    Caroline exined, “Paige is pregnant, so I won’t let her help. The kids are with Scott and Kenny, so


    they


    can’t free themselves either.”


    Caroline thought about how Alex had be overly devoted to Paige.


    Neil was surprised and asked, “Is it Alex’s?”


    Caroline replied, “Paige has never been with another man besides Alex.”


    Neil assured, “I’m sorry, I’m picking up the drinks, and I’ll be there in 15 minutes.”


    Caroline cautioned, “Drive safely.”


    After ending the call, Caroline hesitated about calling Evan. It was almost 5:30 p.m., so he should be


    done


    with work. She decided to send a text message.


    Caroline: [Dinner will be ready soon. When will you be here?]


    Caroline waited for Evan’s reply but didn’t receive one. She put down her phone and helped Eira serve


    the


    food.


    Meanwhile, at Jordan Residence.


    Evan sat at the dining table casually. Draco upied the main seat, with Adam, Casey, and Danie

    either side. The atmosphere in the dining room felt heavy, contrasting with the lively atmosphere


    outside.


    Adam couldn’t bear the tension any longer and raised his ss, stuttering, “F–Father, Happy Mardi


    Gras.”


    Draco clinked sses with Adam and said casually, “Thank you, cheers.”


    Adam quickly finished his drink, feeling uneasy about the strange atmosphere in the room.


    Casey handed the bread to Danie and addressed Draco, “It’s Lundi Gras, and I couldn’t bear the


    thought


    of E being alone. So, I brought her here to join us and help her get used to our family, Father.”


    Draco’s expression softened slightly upon hearing Casey’s exnation. He then turned to Danie,


    speaking coldly. “Since you’ve be part of our family, you should act like a newlywed. Casey has


    always had health issues, yet you haven’t even cooked for him. You’re not behaving like a wife at all.”


    Danie looked up at Draco in surprise. She hadn’t expected Draco to demand that she cook.

    ‘I’m supposed to be a newlywed, and I have to do servant’s work? Are all the servants gone? I won’t let


    you order me around if I had any other choice!’ Danie thought, but she forced herself to reply


    respectfully, “Understood, Father.”


    Danie left the dining room, her expression turning resentful when no one was looking. She thought,


    ‘T’II


    get back at this humiliation someday. It’s Caroline’s fault! The old man wouldn’t treat me like this if not


    for


    her.”


    Draco’s gaze shifted to Evan, who frequently checked his watch after Danie left. He sneered and


    remarked, “If you didn’t have to follow my ridiculous rule, would you be here?”


    Evan replied coldly. “I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for your unreasonable demands.”


    Adam quickly scolded him, “Evan! You can’t talk to our father like that!”
