Caleb shrugged helplessly, "My parents went to play poker with Miguel's parents. They don't need us to accompany them."

"Yeah, our two families celebrated the New Year at noon to start the poker game earlier," Miguel said.

A bitter smile crossed Skyler's face, "Yeah, my parents did the same. They took Sofia to the Green Family to play cards."

Matthew stood up and waved to the servants, signaling them to add chairs and tableware, "You should have said something when you arrived."

"What's wrong? Isn't this table full of food enough?" Miguel teased. His comment elicited laughter from everyone.
