In the Dining Room
Most people had already taken their seats. Zoe Bell noticed that Mindy Xander wasn't there, and glanced at William Hale, "Aren't we waiting for Aunt Mindy?"
"No need to wait."
Zoe Bell pursed her lips.
But she heard Logan Hale say dispassionately, "My mom definitely hasn't woken up yet; she loves to sleep in. Whoever rushes her will have to deal with her."
Simon Hale, "That's not called sleeping in. Mom says it's 'nurturing the body and spirit.'"
"Anyway, as far back as I can remember, unless there's something special going on, she rarely gets up early, let alone makes us breakfast."
"Would you dare to eat if Mom cooked?"
The two brothers were playing off each other.
Quade Hale cast a cold glance at his two sons and both immediately fell silent.
"I didn't marry your mother to cook for you two. I haven't said a word, so you both better stop now."
Uncle Quade of the Hale Family always seemed cold but was very affectionate towards his wife.
