Grandpa Valente's Response

As this family reunion was a festive occasion, Old man Valente ordered the servants to prepare a feast for lunch.

Right now, the parlor seemed crowded with a large number of people seated in it.

Grandpa Valente sat with his daughter on one side while the other was occupied by his granddaughter.

Uncle and Aunt Valente sat on one couch which left another for Howard and Rutherford while the last went to the twins.

The servants were quick and brought them hand towels and bowls of water along with a soap to wash their hands before serving tea.

Yvonne sat next to the Old man who kept stealing secret glimpses at her from time to time in the silent room.

'This is so awkward.' She declared while glancing around the room only to find everyone sipping their tea in complete silence.

Luckily, the knock on the door broke the silence and upon receiving permission, the Butler entered the room.
