And then there was Rachel. It was her first time in Ardiham, so course she had to try out all kinds of local restaurants in Ardiham.

so of

Nathaniel already had ns at noon, so he couldn’t go with them. The three women took Ezekiel and Isabe with them.

Who knew, just as they walked into the restaurant, Heriberto came right toward them.

Isabe was sharp–eyed and spotted him right away. She pointed at him and shouted excitedly, “Dad, Dad, Mom, look, that’s Dad!”

Everyone looked in the direction Isabe was pointing, and sure enough, they saw Heriberto in a sharp suit, striding toward them with his long legs, looking handsome and confident.

Rachel saw him, and her eyes lit up.

But then, when she remembered she had already decided not to like Heriberto anymore, she didn’t feel so excited, and her eyes got a bit dimmer.

“Dad!”

Ezekiel saw Heriberto and happily shouted too.

Heriberto walked up to them and gave Iris a little smirk, “What a coincidence, you guys came here to eat too.”

“Yeah, Mr. Hale, what a coincidence!” Danica said sarcastically, arms

“Dad, Dad, this is Zeke and my godmother,” Isabe said happily.

Heriberto smiled and reached his hands out to Isabe.

Isabe just naturally threw herself into his arms.

Iris let go and let him hold Isabe.

Heriberto held Isabe steady, then looked at Danica, smiled and nodded at her, “Hi, godmother.”

Danica’s mouth twitched.

For Ezekiel and Isabe’s sake, she put up with it.

“Did you book a table? Let’s go together!” Heriberto asked Iris.

“Are you alone?” Iris asked.

“There’s another friend.”

“You should just stay with your friend.” Iris turned him down t, then reached out to Isabe, “Come on, let’s not bother Dad.”

“Mom, isn’t it nice when Dad is with us?” Isabe held onto Heriberto’s neck with her little hands and wouldn’t let go.

Isabe was so clingy to him, Heriberto secretly felt relieved. He

ditched his buddy without hesitation and said, “My friend doesn’t need me with him, he can be on his own.”

“Dad ate with us.” Ezekiel also said.

Iris was hesitating about whether to say yes or not, and then, not far away, Everett suddenly showed up.

Danica saw him and immediately turned her head away.

“Iris, you’re back! Long time no see, haha!”

Everett chuckled and walked up to Danica, “Hey, these must be Zeke and Be, right? How are they so cute and pretty? Come on, let me hold one.”

As he spoke, he reached for Ezekiel in Danica’s arms.

Ezekiel red at him, looking confused.

“Zeke’s not going, we don’t even know him, right?” Danica held Ezekiel tight and wouldn’t let go.

Everett grinned, “It’s okay if you don’t know him. Come on, let your dad introduce you.”

“No need.” Iris turned her down coolly, then reached out to Isabe again, “Come to Mommy first. After you finish eating, you and Zeke can go y with Daddy.”

If it was just Heriberto, for Ezekiel and Isabe, she probably would’ve just said yes to sitting together.

But with Everett there, and seeing how Danica clearly didn’t want to talk to him, Iris sure wasn’t going to let her bestie feel bad.

“Alright.” Although Isabe wasn’t very happy, she still obediently snuggled back into Iris’s arms.
