Karl couldn't help but intervene, "Juanita, come back. You scared her. Calm down a bit and behave."
Juanita grumpily returned to her seat.
Karl held her down. "Sit properly and don't tire yourself out."
Juanita pouted unhappily. "Why do I have to sit while they all are pregnant? Look, Joyce is still standing."
"Is your physical foundation comparable to Joyce's? Don't you know it yourself?" Karl glanced at Juanita.
Juanita was dissatisfied. "You're comparing us? Hehe."
Joyce timely changed the subject. "Juanita, don't keep staring at Nina as if you've discovered a new continent. Give her a breather too."
Juanita shrugged her shoulders. "Fine."
Karl seemed to remember something and suddenly asked, "Nina, I saw in the system that Dr. Knight submitted a special request for your name change and a request for a paternity test. They consider you a special person of interest, and they report to me if anything unusual occurs."
"Oh, my dad mentioned it. Yes," Nina nodded gently. Her name would soon be changed to Jiang Ling. From now on, she would have no connection to the Feng family and their disgusting father and son.
Karl nodded. "Understood. I'll approve it as soon as possible."
Luther tapped the table lightly. "Let's start eating. Don't just talk."
Following that, he rang a bell to signal the arrival of the main course.
"Mr. Warner has spoken. I won't be polite, I'm hungry," Juanita exclaimed as she picked up a bite of the cold dish and put it in her bowl, starting to eat.
Karl watched her with amusement. Being assertive was Juanita's specialty.
Soon, the sliding door opened, and several waiters filed in.
The dishes were served, all high-end Japanese cuisine: king crab, Alaskan crab legs, sturgeon caviar salad, marinated goose liver, pufferfish sushi, trout hot pot, and a platter of sashimi emitting a cold, white mist.
Luther picked up a piece of trout and placed it in Joyce's plate. "You must be hungry, eat more."
"What about Andres? Why didn't you bring him?" Juanita spoke with her mouth full.
Karl poured her a cup of tea. "Take your time, there's no one to compete with you. Don't choke."
Joyce smiled. "Originally, Andres was supposed to come today, but then Grandfather called him for fishing, so he didn't come."
"Wow, the great general is in high spirits. Now that the warlord problem is resolved, it seems that the great general will have an easier time. Joyce, when do you plan to take over as the warlord?" Juanita asked while eating.
Joyce took a deep breath and looked at everyone present.
"In fact, I invited everyone here today for a farewell dinner. I don't plan to stay in the Capital anymore. The day after tomorrow, I'm going back to Khebury with him and Andres." As she spoke, she glanced at Luther.
Luther smiled slightly and affectionately held her shoulder. "Yes, we plan to return to Khebury."
The chopsticks in Juanita's hand fell with a clatter.
"What do you mean? You won't be staying in the Capital anymore?" She didn't immediately react. She had only recognized Joyce recently, and they hadn't been together for long. Now, they were actually going to be separated?
