Jade's appearance into Max's family makes his brothers and sisters happy. They cheered for Jade's presence. Especially since Ace has returned from the dead, he is very happy every time Jade comes.
The meal together was finally made impromptu. The women who cook, the men make a place to enjoy eating so that when eating feels comfortable.
Jade looked at Carla who was helping out. She just kept quiet as if she wasn't the Carla she used to be. But he knows that Max's family taught him a lot about how to control each other's thirst, solidarity to hide identity from humans.
But since Carla was her friend, of course Jade had to greet her.
"Hey, Carla," Jade said.
Carla just mumbled. The reply seemed unfriendly but Jade had been used to being treated like that ever since Carla became a vampire.
"Is Evan going to join?" Jade asked.
"Yeah. He usually joins in."
