Chapter 79

Harper

Mr and Mrs Aldridge took the seats at the ends of the table while Grayson and Tiffany sat right across from. Maddox and me.

Each time I came to the conclusion that all the food was served, the chefs kept returning with more to add to the table. The aroma was enough to make my mouth water.

In any other situation, it would’ve deeply hurt me to watch Grasyosn and Tiffany whisper to each other, knowing that despite everything that had happened, he was still the one.

But I didn’t get to see much as Maddox had my full attention, talking about Dante and how he’d take me to all his upcoming exhibitions. My genuine excitement seemed to get on Grayson and Tiffany’s nerves the one time I glanced at them.

It was only when Mrs Aldridge cleared her throat and clinked a glass with a spoon that we all stopped talking and looked in his direction.

“When I said we had so much to talk about, I didn’t mean to yourselves.”

She rolled her eyes with a chuckle and paused, as if waiting for some laughter, but that wasn’t as funny as she thought it was. Maddox and I even shared a knowing glance.

He chuckled in disbelief. “Do you even have to ask?” He lovingly looked at Tiffany. “I’d choose being here with my wife and our little one on the way over everything else.”

“Me too, babe.” Tiffany chimed in, her voice sweet.

“Aww. Isn’t this so romantic?” Mrs Aldridge said. “You two are such lovebirds!”
