Her Mysterious Mogul Hubby novel Chapter 1721

For some reason, the atmosphere in the room immediately turned cold when Danrique sat down.

Suddenly, the joyful laughter had vanished as the children became tense, and Francesca appeared to be somewhat uneasy.

To remedy the awkwardness, Charlotte quickly lifted her glass. “It's not every day that we get to have dinner together like this, so I'd like to propose a toast!”

Zachary then lifted his glass as well to join in. Naturally, he had a nonalcoholic beverage in it.

After Francesca and the children, too, lifted their glasses and cups, they turned to look at Danrique, who had no choice but to follow suit.

“This is just wonderful! How I wish we could gather like this more often! Cheers, guys!” exclaimed Charlotte.

“Cheers!”

After clinking their glasses and cups, everybody gladly took a sip of their drink, except for Danrique, who nobody wanted to clink their drinkware with.

Zachary was about to start eating when he noticed how disappointed Danrique seemed, so he hurriedly extended his glass to the man.

At first, Danrique was a little reluctant, but he eventually responded in kind anyway.

The two then quietly took a sip of their drink.

“Okay. Let the feast begin!” announced Charlotte excitedly.

Zachary started chatting with the children while they ate. “So what did you guys play just now? The swing? The slide?”

“The swing!” answered Alpha with her hand raised. “Jamie pushed me so high up that I could touch the sky! It was really fun!”

“I played the slide, but I was a little scared because you weren't there to catch me,” uttered Beta in her childish voice.

“I'll catch you next time, okay?” responded Zachary gently before suggesting, “Or you can always have your daddy catch you.”

The man then glanced at Danrique, who had already lifted his head to look at Beta.
