Chapter 2727
Tina let out an awkward chuckle. “Your father had been waiting for you at home, but an urgent situation arose at
the company branch, so he had to leave early…”
Tina could not help sighing as she added, “You of all people should know what’s happening with our company right
now. That friend of yours, Joshua Lynch, is so good that even after handing over the company to you, he can’t
manage the branch all by himself either…
“Otherwise, he wouldn’t have had to resort to inviting you here to apologize.”
Thomas furrowed his brow dubiously.
He hesitated for a moment, then sent a quick message to Joshua before taking Yannie’s hand and following Tina
and Denise into the dining room.
The servants were busy setting the table, and Yannie could not help pursing her lips when she saw all the lavish

This was her third time coming to Howard Mansion. The first time, she had come with Thomas, and the second
time, Tina had forced her here without Thomas‘ knowledge to attack her alongside Denise.
This was her third time here and, arguably, the kindest
treatment she had received.
She remembered that the first time she came here with Thomas, the food they served was simple and somewhat
miserable, so much so that even her mother’s cooking was better than this.
This time, she could sense how much the members of the Howard family began to value Thomas.
Perhaps this was the reward he deserved for all his hard
work.
At the thought of this, Yannie sighed and instinctively glanced at the man standing next to her.
There was a hint of gratification in Thomas‘ eyes.
He had probably been waiting for this day for a very long
time.
The two of them took their seats, and Tina smiled as she handed them their tableware. “Your father should be
home very soon. We can eat first; there’s no need to wait for him.”
Thomas furrowed his brow as he took the first set of tableware from Tina and placed it in front of Yannie. Then, he
reached out to take the second pair for himself.
Denise gritted her teeth when she noticed this.
What the hell? Why was Thomas treating Yannie so kindly?
She was the one who had loved him for many years, yet he never once noticed her.
What was so good about this Yannie, anyway? What right did she have to receive Thomas‘ love and affection? Was
it just because she had given birth to Thomas‘ daughter?
Denise narrowed her eyes at this thought.

The servants soon finished setting the table, and they began to eat.
Tina kept placing food on Thomas and Yannie’s plates, but Thomas refused to eat a single bite.
Instead, he twiddled his phone in his hand and asked calmly, “When is that old geezer coming home?”
The truth was, he could sense that something was not right from the moment he realized Senior Howard was not
home. However, he was unwilling to believe that Tinal and his father would pull a trick on him at such a time, which
was why he decided to go along with it.
Still, he could not help becoming more puzzled as he noticed the time ticking closer to their intended meeting
time.
Therefore, he was cautious not to eat any of the food prepared.
“He’s probably going to be home soon.” Tina gave an awkward chuckle and continued ladling food onto Yannie’s
plate. “Come eat, Yannie. Why aren’t either of you eating? Do you think I poisoned the food?”
She quickly took a bite from every dish and turned to smile at Yannie. “See, Yannie? I didn’t poison anything. Are
you going to disrespect me too just because Thomas is doing so?”
