Steve's father had left Red Park for a meeting at midnight last night, so only Steve's mother was present today.
The last table was occupied by Steve's cousins, their spouses, and Olivia Foster.
Although Ruby had heard Steve's mother's voice last night, this was her first official meeting with her since returning to the country. So when she saw Steve's mother, she immediately stood up, bent over politely, and called out, "Aunt Burton."
As Ruby and Steve had grown up together, she naturally knew the parents of Edward Woods, Rusell Henris, Howard Coleman and Madeleine, so she greeted each of them before returning to her seat.
Among all the parents present, Steve's mother and Madeleine's mother were the closest to Ruby.
After Ruby had finished greeting everyone, Madeleine's mother spoke up first with a smile, saying, "Madeleine told me long ago that Ruby had returned from abroad, but it's only now that I get to see her."
