Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 718

The banquet was held in the open garden of Ink Garden.

Since Vivian had just passed away, the banquet was grand and solemn.

Not only was the long wooden table covered with a white gauze tablecloth, but the white tables and chairs also made the whole banquet look holy and sacred.

Jenna had specially invited a western chef from a five- star hotel. The chef prepared both the specialties of A City and western cuisine, which were solemn and refined. The meal was served buffet-style and one could choose the variety of dishes as one wished. The atmosphere was casual yet romantic.

Later in the evening, the faint moonlight was shining, and the summer breeze was a little cooling, making it very pleasant.

Jenna sat beside Madam Lilian. After several times having dinner with Madam Lilian, she had already learnt some of Madam Lilian's dining preferences. From time to time, she would pick some dishes and desserts, and put them in Madam Lilian's bowl. No matter what she took,

Madam Lilian ate them happily.

Madam Lilian was very easy-going, and the dinner was relaxing and harmonious as a whole.

Nuncio was also a guest of honor. Trevor arranged for him to sit to Madam Lilian's right, while Trevor and Marissa sat on his left. Jenna naturally sat directly beside Madam Lilian.

Even Hansen was kept to the side standing.

"Madam, your fame has spread far and wide. It's my honor to be able to meet you today. Allow me to propose to you a toast. May you be in good health and everything will turn out as you wish." Nuncio saw that the time was ripe. Thus, he took a glass of red wine from the table, carefully walked to Madam Lilian, and spoke respectfully.

Madam Lilian was wiping her hands with a napkin when she saw the glass of red wine Nuncio placed in front of her. She did not immediately pick up the glass in front of her. Instead, she sat there calmly and wiped her hands in a slow manner.

Nuncio's hand, which was holding the glass of red wine, hung in the air for a moment. He had never met Madam Lilian face to face, but he had heard from others that she was an unpredictable woman, who would neither meet any politician nor talk casually with them.

Nevertheless, it should be fine, considering it's a family banquet that day.

When Jenna invited Madam Lilian to stay for the night, it was exactly what Nuncio wanted as he could take this opportunity to get close to Madam Lilian and examine her intentions. In this way, the task received by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs could be carried out smoothly. If he could get the help of Madam Lilian, then it would be a great contribution for him.

However, Nuncio obviously didn't know Madam Lilian, and couldn't even win her favor.

His hand, which was holding the glass, was ignored. Many people felt that something was wrong, including Trevor. However, just as everyone was feeling embarrassed for him, Madam Lilian raised her hand to accept it at just the right time.

"Thank you." She picked up the glass and gave him a slight touch.

Nuncio's stiffened facial muscles began to break into a brilliant smile when he saw Madam Lilian taking the glass.

It turned out that Madam Lilian wasn't giving him the cold shoulder. Her actions were just slow. So, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Madam, I'll give you a toast first. It's up to you to return it," Nuncio said respectfully. He raised his head and gulped down a glass of red wine in his hand in an attempt to show his sincerity.

Madam Lilian didn't even look at him. She just took a sip of the wine and put the glass down.

After putting down the glass, Madam Lilian said to Nuncio politely, "Mr. Moore, you don't have to be so courteous. Just have the meal casually. Today is a family banquet. So, you don't have to be so formal."

She emphasised the word family banquet. Hearing this, Nuncio nodded with a smile.
