"Silvia, I heard from Jayden that you like chicken wings. Why don't you try this one and let me know if Lionel and I did a good job?" The person who warmed Silvia up was not anyone else, but Karen Joy, who was as beautiful as an angel.
To Silvia, whoever gave her a chicken wing at this very moment would be an angel.
However, after what had happened with Kevin Kyle, Silvia did not get excited at that instant. She took a glance at Lionel, and tried to see if he was staring at her like how Kevin did. After confirming that Lionel wasn't looking at her, Silvia grinned and said, "Thanks, Karen Joy!"
Karen Joy smiled and said, "Not at all. We're family, aren't we?"
"Yeah, but I'll still have to thank you!" Silvia's gaze once again shifted to Lionel. He was looking at Karen Joy affectionately, as if she was his entire world.
Silvia thought that all men should love their wives like this. When it was time to be gentle, they must be gentle. When it was time to make their wife look good in front of everyone, they must do that too.
Silvia turned her head to look at Jayden, who was sitting next to her. His gaze was fixed on the barbeque pit, not giving her even a glance. He really did not look like he was someone who had a wife at all.
Lionel and Jayden were both men, but why was there such a big difference between them?
"Sister Silvia, I've finished the one you gave me." Before Silvia could start eating, Levi was already staring at the chicken wing on Silvia's plate desirously.
"Levi, you're done already?" Boohoo... If Silvia knew that Levi would be this fast, she would have eaten the chicken wing that Karen Joy had given her immediately instead of bothering about how other men treated their wives.
Levi nodded and looked at the chicken wing on Silvia's plate.
"You can take this then." Silvia reluctantly gave the chicken wing away to Levi. Jayden stopped her and said, "Levi, go grill your own chicken wing."
Levi pouted his lips and said, "Jayden, you're so stingy."
"Levi, you should learn to be self sustainable." Julien, who had been keeping his silence, interrupted out of a sudden.
Levi ignored Julien. He knew that he might fall into Julien's trap once again if he were to talk to him.
Julien handed the chicken wing that he had grilled to Karen and said, "Mom, this is for you."
"Thanks, my little precious!" In return, Karen gave Julien some grilled sausages. "Julien, don't keep putting on a straight face. Everyone here is family, you should be a little more relaxed and enjoy yourself."
"Okay, Mom!" Julien nodded, but his face was still as cold as how it usually was.
Mia said enviously, "Levi, can't you learn from Julien and grill something for me too?"
Levi only knew how to eat, whereas Julien, who was quiet, knew how to take care of his mother by giving her the first-ever chicken wing that he had grilled. Comparing the two, Julien had undoubtedly won against Levi again.
Listening to his mother's despiteful tone, Levi could not help but feel wronged!
After the barbecue session had ended, the couples went for a walk. Some went to the garden, and some went to the seaside to enjoy the sea breeze. Only Levi and Julien were left in the yard.
Levi did not want to be alone with Julien, but there was no one else to hangout with him except for Julien. He said, "Hey, aren't you going to the beach?"
