Sorry for Your Loss, It's Me, I'm the Loss novel Chapter 410

Teresa remained seated, remarking coolly, “So you decided to come back. I was beginning to think you didn't care about this family at all.”

“Glad we're on the same page, no need to state the obvious.” Yvonne never indulged Teresa, retorting with equal coolness.

“You…” Teresa started, but Jeffrey cut her off.

“Mom, let's just eat. Didn't you have the housekeeper make a lot of Yvonne's favorite dishes? You even told her to hold the seafood.”

“Fine, let's eat then.” Acting as if she didn't want to argue with Yvonne, Teresa was the first to stand and head into the dining room.

The dining table was already laden with food, most of which were indeed Yvonne's favorites. It was clear some thought had been put into it.

After the family sat down, before they could even touch their silverware, the doorbell rang abruptly.

“Are we expecting someone?” Jeffrey asked, confused, and told the housekeeper to get the door.

The housekeeper went to the door and opened it to find a young man in a sharp suit, holding a gift box.

“Can I help you?” the housekeeper asked, puzzled.

“Is Mrs. James in?” the man asked, his tone polite yet arrogant.

“Ma'am, there's a gentleman here for you,” the housekeeper called out, and Teresa hurried to the door.

“Mr. Hughes?” Seeing the man outside, Teresa's face immediately broke into an ingratiating smile. “You mentioned you had a video conference this afternoon and would be coming later. Have you eaten dinner yet? We've just started, would you care to join us?”

As Teresa spoke, she instructed a maid to bring the man a pair of guest slippers.

Steven Hughes changed his shoes and followed Teresa into the apartment, replying politely enough, “The meeting ended early. I came straight from the office, so I haven't eaten yet.”
