When the comers appeared in the dinning room, Elizabeth was the most surprised one.
She stood by the dining table and looked at Zena who was dressed in a long dress. She then looked at the man beside her and felt that this world was too small.
That man was Sebastian who sent her the painting yesterday.
However, when she saw Zena here last time, she heard that Zena's boyfriend was named Xavier. So, was Xavier Sebastian?
No wonder James said that he knew Sebastian. At that time, he also said that he didn't expect such a lofty person like Sebastian would send a painting to her.
She was in shock when Zena said with a smile, "Auntie, Uncle, I didn't inform you in advance that we would come here. I hope I didn't disturb you."
Lydia waved her hand and said, "What are you talking about? Your uncle and I are so happy to see you here. Don't be so polite, and make yourself at home."
Xavier glanced at Elizabeth blandly before turning to look at Lydia and John. He greeted them gently, "Nice to meet you, Uncle, Auntie."
John seemed to be happy. He nodded and said, "You haven't eaten yet, have you?" Zena didn't stand on ceremony, "No. I went to the gallery to pick up Xavier just now. He doesn't feel well today and suffers from a slight cough. He fell asleep in the car, so I drove here on my own. The stewed pear with tendril-leaved fritillary bulb cooked by Auntie Chang is good for his cough, and I also wanted to have a meal here. I miss the dishes cooked by Auntie Chang very much."
James was standing not far away from Zena. When he heard these words, he frowned slightly and seemed to be a little unhappy. Although he had been unpleasant since the moment he opened the door.
"Okay. It's good that you're here. It's lively only when many people eat together." After Lydia said that, she looked at Xavier with concern, "What's wrong with Xavier?"
"He..." Zena glanced at Xavier, "He is too busy with work. It's hot recently, and he turned down the air conditioner to the minimum, so he caught a cold." She said reproachfully with distress.
At this time, John said, "Xavier, work is important, and you should attach importance to your health."
"I know, uncle."
"Well, let's eat."
Therefore, he asked Auntie Chang to take two more bowls and chopsticks.
Since Zena and Xavier were here, the positions of their seats changed a little. Lydia thought that there were two couples, so she did not sit next to John. She and John sat at both ends of the table. James and Elizabeth sat on one side, while Xavier and Zena sat opposite them.
Xavier sat down and glanced at Elizabeth who was diagonally opposite him. Then he looked at James and said, "Jimmy, this is..." As he said, he pondered for a while before asking, "Your wife?"
Lydia had always liked Elizabeth very much. At this time, hearing Xavier's words, she introduced Elizabeth to Xavier before James could say anything, "Yes, she is James's wife. She is Elizabeth! By the way, did Jimmy tell you this before? Or did Zena tell you this?"
Xavier smiled decently and said, "Jimmy called me before, and he told me about it."
Hearing this, Zena couldn't help but look at James. There were some unspeakable emotions in her heart. Jimmy disliked Xavier because of something happened in the past and almost didn't contact him. After he got married, he told Xavier about his marriage. Why did he call Xavier? Was it because of her?
