Chapter 107: Silly or Cute?
Rory was delighted at the dining table as it was filled with happy chattering. She thought others might bring up Liam’s case and might hurt him, and she was a little hesitant to come home.
But no one brought up anything about the case. It probably was deliberate.
She could sense the worry in their faces at times when they looked at Liam or her. But maybe they were convinced with her brave appearance, the mood got a lot better.
Lenny and Sidney were sitting with everyone but they were avoided mostly. Usually, uncle Lenny would try to join in the conversations, but this time, he was silent. Sidney too opened her mouth to speak at times, but she shut up without saying anything.
It was weird, but Rory thought it would be better this way. Uncle Lenny doesn’t have to be patient with his family. They’ve failed to accept him for years.
The kids were given a separate table and of course, Liam never graduated from the kid’s table. She didn’t know why that never offended Liam. She saw him chatting with Chubster and Skyla was shyly watching Liam.
Ellie was sitting in her very own high chair. Rory insisted that Ellie does not need a high chair now, but Penny was very excited and made Leroy drive her to the store and bought a lot of toys for Ellie.
Ellie did not look very impressed with the bottle in front of her. Her father and she were in a stalemate. She did not want to take the bottle and Liam insisted that she will take the bottle. Both were very adamant about not relenting.
What a pair!
Rory decided to feed Ellie if she does not accept the bottle within the next ten minutes.
"Ma! I love your roast chicken!" Leroy said rubbing his belly.
"Oh, it was Rory who cooked it today," Dorothy was proud.
