Chapter 344 - The Label (1/2)
”Look, Imel's glass is still empty,” Maria said with a chuckle.
Upon hearing this, Anya immediately looked in front of her and found Imel's glass still empty.
Nico said he would pour wine in his grandfather's and Ivan's glass. But apparently, he didn't want to pour wine in Imel's glass.
And since Imel switched places all the way to the end, Bima probably didn't know what happened. Or maybe Bima knew but didn't say anything on purpose?
”Anya, raise your glass,” Aiden took Anya's hand to her glass and made Anya wake up from her reverie.
There were seven people on the dining table. But only six members of the Atmajaya Family toasted each other and drank their wine happily.
Imel was so angry that her teeth hurt because she gritted her glass too much. She did not raise her glass. Wasn't anyone aware of it?
No one poured wine into her glass, no one cared whether she raised her glass or not. Bima didn't even look at her.
Bima was sitting too far from her, so maybe he didn't realize it. But Ivan sat right beside her. And yet her son chose to ignore her.
This made Imel feel even angrier. She could not sit still and enjoy a meal with only a plate of vegetable salad in front of her.
”Bima, I don't feel well. I'm going home first. Don't forget to take Ivan back to the hospital later,” Imel got up and immediately said goodbye.
”Ms. Imel, we are just about to eat, but you're already leaving. Does the food in the Atmajaya Family not suit your taste?” Nico asked on purpose.
The food in the Atmajaya Family?
There was only a plate of vegetable salad before her. How would she know the taste of the Atmajaya Family's food?
Imel held back her anger and said patiently, ”No, the food is very good. But I'm tired today. I want to go home and rest. You guys eat, don't worry about me,”
”You guys just eat. Let me and Anya escort the guest to the front,” Maria took Anya's hand and asked her to stand up.
Anya was confused about why Maria asked her to take Imel. But she still followed Maria's words.
Even though no one liked Imel, at least they shouldn't embarrass Bima.
”Grandpa, drink up. I will continue to refill grandfather's glass,” Nico poured wine into his grandfather's glass, which only had a little left.
Seeing all of his family gathered at the dining table, of course Bima was very happy. He was in a very good mood so he laughed and said, ”Aiden and Ivan too, let's have a drink. Don't just keep quiet,”
”Uncle Ivan, you drink too little. Let me refill your glass…” Nico said.
Meanwhile, Aiden raised his glass and took a small sip. His eyes were on the door, worried for his wife.
Maria took Anya's hand and led Imel to her car. She also said kindly, ”Next time you want to come for dinner, tell me first so I can cook the food you like,”
In fact, Maria wanted to say that Imel should give them the news first before coming and not just suddenly appeared and interrupted their event. That's very disrespectful of her.
Imel unknowingly considered herself a member of the Atmajaya Family so she could come and go. However, when she heard this, she felt very annoyed. Even more so when she saw Maria and Anya's good relationship.
Imel's eyes were fixed on Maria and Anya's hands, which were still holding each other and saw a pair of bracelets. The bracelet she had seen in Bima's study.
For a long time she asked for the bracelet but Bima did not want to give it to her. He said the bracelets were made a pair and meant to be passed on to the Atmajaya Family's daughter-in-law.
There were only two bracelets, one for Maria and one for Anya. She had nothing and what about her daughter-in-law?
