Chapter 399: That advice came a little late
Heaven already prepared herself for any disparaging or awkward situation the moment Dominic told her about the party. That didn’t scare her, but at the same time, she prepared herself for anything like that. However, things were different from what she expected. No one attacked her directly or indirectly.
If anything, the moment the dinner began, everyone was just silent.
’I prepared myself for being in an awkward situation,’ Heaven thought as she chewed her food as slowly as a cow. ’But this awkwardness wasn’t anything as I expected!’
She peeked her eyes over the table, seeing that everyone was simply eating in silence. Although there were discussions everyone had once in a while, it would end due to the lack of interest. Some relatives tried striking up a conversation with Dominic, only to hear a short reply or none at all.
It was the same scenario with Lionel, who was sitting across from his son. But unlike Dominic, he would exchange a couple of words before ending each conversation with, "I’ll reconsider or his son will make that decision."
Some cousins also approached Axel, complimenting the second young master, that was a completely different approach from Dominic and Lionel. However, Axel wasn’t in the mood for any conversation as he grumpily ate his food while totally ignoring everyone. Ria Zhu was the only one who conversed that showed slight interest, but she would strategically stop the conversation.
’This is crazy.’Heaven raised her brows briefly, setting her attention to her son. "Basti, do you want more?"
Her voice was barely above a whisper, but it was enough to interrupt the prolonged stifling silence in the dining hall. Sebastian flashed his mother a bright smile as he looked up, nodding.
"Here," she whispered, adding some meat to his plate.
