At noon, John Brown just made a little something simple, but by evening, Gina and the others had returned here. He showcased his skills and prepared a table full of dishes, all crafted with his utmost care, as these were his best specialties. The ladies feasted with delight, and even the very picky Little Violet was praising how delicious it was.
Thanks to Emily Berns' concessions, the atmosphere was much more harmonious today. Emily Berns raised her glass to Gina and said, "Gina, I hope you won't hold onto past grievances. It was my fault for having a bad attitude, please don't take it to heart."
Gina, truly feeling a bit surprised, also raised her glass and said, "I also had my share of mistakes in the past; let's forget about them."
"Of course, I won't take it to heart. Here, I have a request: as Emily Jones will be living with you, I hope you can be kind to her." At this point, Emily Berns looked toward her daughter with eyes full of tenderness.
