    Ste did not know what to say in response. The atmosphere turned awkward again. After a moment,


    Wenham chimed in, “Ste, just ept it as a blessing from my wife.”


    Ste had no choice but to take it and thanked Darcie politely. Edith stared at Darcie for a while before


    turning to her son and said, “Daryl, have the waiter prepare another set of utensils.”

    Darcie quickly waved her hand. “It’s okay, Mrs. Hall Sr., I’m going to leave now. You all have a good


    chat with Ste.” Then, she turned around and said to Wenham, “I’ll get a room ready in the house for


    Ste as soon as possible. I can ask Jaylene to switch rooms with her, too, if she prefers Jaylene’s


    room. I can’t wait for Ste to live with us.”


    Wenham looked a little moved as he gently patted Darcie’s arm and softly said, “Thank you so much.”


    Darice smiled and replied, “It’s my duty.”


    Then, she bid farewell to everyone politely and left.


    Although Darcie was gone, Ste could still feel like the atmosphere was not as rxed as before. She


    could sense that her grandparents were a little unhappy.


    Ste pondered to herself and realized that Wilfred and Edith were probably bothered by the fact that


    their ex-son-in-w married another woman and formed a new family.


    In fact, she did not feel veryfortable around Darcie too. Although Darcie spoke politely to her, she


    could not shake the feeling that she was an outsider intruding into a family she did not belong in.


    Ste never nned to move back into the Saun family.


    “Let’s eat.” Daryl cleared his throat and said to Ste with a smile, “Ste, just grab whatever you like.


    We don’t have anyplicated family rules here. Just be yourself.”


    Ste’s expression eased up as she replied warmly, “Okay, Uncle Daryl.”


    Daryl paused before turning to Wilfred and said, “Dad, can I have your card now? She called me Uncle


    first.”


    Ste kept quiet.


    Wilfred red at Daryl. “No way! You’re not ying fair!”


    “Why is that?” Daryl put on an innocent look.


    Then, Trevor chimed in, “I should be the winner. Ste already called me her brotherst week.”


    Wilfred was not having that. “It doesn’t count if I didn’t hear it. Let’s start over!”


    Then, he shifted his gaze to Ste. “My dear, call me Grandpa now, and the money is all yours.”


    Ste did not know what to say. Daryl clicked his tongue and said, “Dad, you’re being unreasonable!


    And, you’re bribing her!”


    Wilfred scoffed. “You can do that too. Let’s see if Ste listens to you.”


    Ste lowered her gaze and said softly, “Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, Brother, can we eat first? I haven’t


    eaten anything since morning.”


    The whole family smiled. “I told you guys to eat first. I knew Ste is hungry.”


    “You’re the one who started the bet.”


    “Just cut the nonsense and start eating.”


    The atmosphere in the room became lively again. Ste’s te was piled up with food in no time. The


    affection and warmth of her family reminded her of someone when he was drunk.


    As she picked up a piece of prawn with her fork, the door was pushed open, revealing a tall and well-


    dressed figure at the doorway.
