Chapter 0267, At 8:00 pm, Paul treated everyone to late–night snacks, As soon as they sat down, Sandy said enthusiastically. This place has the best and most affordable skewers. Miranda, you have to try their signature spicy beef skewers. I ordered a few extra for you.”, Silas sat beside Miranda and poured juice for her. “It’s hot tonight, so drink some juice to cool off. There are appetizers over there, too. The pickled cucumbers are delicious. Want some?”, Their sudden friendliness surprised her. She figured they might believe she had been wronged earlier and were trying to make up for it. It made her feel both amused and exasperated., Elizabeth observed silently, her lips tightly pursed.
