    Chapter 1537: We Must Toast Together


    "The dishes are all served, please enjoy your meal." The waitress respectfully bowed and left,


    considerately closing the door behind her.


    With the table full of hot dishes, the meal was quitevish. It was filled with countryside dishes that


    were rarely seen in the city, making them all the more appetizing.


    Everyone understood Tristan''s intentions by now. Belinda and Algerone Swain''s feelings had shifted


    from shock to being touched.


    Monica, who longed for her parents to reunite, gathered her thoughts, gave a light cough, and said


    after seeing Tristan hand her father a cup of buckwheat tea, "Come on, let''s toast! It''s a rare gathering,


    and this tea is indeed fragrant!"


    With her chattering and causing a ruckus, the awkwardness floating in the air dispersed a little.


    Seeing her break the silence, Tristan quickly raised his cup and said, "Yes, yes, we must toast first.


    Here''s to our elders."


    As Algerone Swain raised his cup, his gaze fell on the middle-aged woman sitting across from him.


    Although Belinda was still a bit out of sorts and felt a little awkward, she had no choice but to raise her


    cup.


    The family of four stood up to toast, and Monica, acting as the perfect mediator, eased the restaurant''s


    atmosphere quite a bit.


    "It''s great that the three of you are cooperating. You all know each other so well! The trust is off the


    charts." Monica''s smile was radiant, "Since both mom and dad are here, I also have some good news


    to announce today!"


    All eyes fell on her, looking at her with great respect.


    Tristan jokingly asked, "What good news? Are you in love?"


    "Isn''t that already known?" Monica nced at him and teased, "I guess the whole world knows by


    now?"


    She stood up again, proudly patted her chest, "I, Monica, am going to find a job in Arkpool City! I''ll be a


    piano teacher in a training institution!"


    "A teacher?"


    "Teaching piano?"


    Upon hearing this, both Algerone Swain and Tristan could not help but feel disappointed. They both


    hoped that she would seek a position in their respectivepanies!


    "Yes, a teacher. What''s the matter? Why do you both look like you''ve been hit? Aren''t you happy?"


    It seemed they were a step toote, but as men who loved her, they could only agree and support her


    decision. Smiles returned to everyone''s faces.


    "Of course we''re happy, full support!"


    "Thank you! Thank you all! Come on, let''s toast again!" Monica''s smile was brilliant, maximizing her


    role as a mediator.


    For this matter, everyone toasted again with tea in lieu of wine.


    The awkward atmosphere was gradually easing, and Belinda finally stopped feeling uneasy, bing

    "Let''s eat first, the dishes won''t taste as good when they cool." Tristan said, prompting everyone to pick


    up their forks, "Let''s chat while we eat."


    At this point, Monica added, "Since we''re all family, let''s not be polite. Eating and chatting is nice, much


    better than formally sitting in the living room discussing work."


    Tristan smiled, thinking to himself that Monica really dide at the right time tonight.


    As they ate, Algerone Swain asked a question, and Tristan began to exin the difference between the


    new real estate project to be developed next year and the one developed by rke Corp this year, as


    well as its biggest advantages.


    He was concise and to the point, not wasting words. In fact, rke Corp was exceptionally good at real


    estate development, standing at the top in Arkpool City.


    As the meal was nearing its end, the business discussions were reaching their climax.


    Three copies of the partnership n were distributed to each of them, including Monica. Everyone was


    eating and chatting... everyone had a say.
