Isabella's POV

I watched Andrew leave the kitchen, as he took the food pack along with him and he stylishly stole a glance at Thelma as he left.

I cleared my throat as I turned to Thelma to see her face.

I wanted to even tease her about it but I had a rethink of heart so I decided not to anymore.

After what she had faced in the hands of a relationship before, I don't know how long it will take Thelma to give love a chance again.

I really wish I could help her but there is little or nothing I could do about it.

I immediately put on a smiling face to lighten up the room then I told her to come set the table with me.

We brought out the food she had served in the serving dishes and we took them to the dining area.

We set the tables with plates and all the cutleries that will be needed.
