his voice soft, "Let's go have our New Year's Eve dinner."
"I wonder how our ravioli turned out?" Sylvia skipped a bit, her voice filled with excitement and anticipation.
"Anyway, let's not pick on each other's cooking!"
Sylvia squinted her eyes, smiling.
In the dining room, Mr. Justin had already brought out the ravioli.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe ravioli that Estelle and her group had made were all shapes and sizes, and when served, just looking at them made everyone
want to laugh.
But, as Gabriel said, no one should criticize, and since everyone had a hand in making them, even if they looked a bit funny, they
were sure to taste delicious.
Besides the ravioli, Mr. Justin had prepared ten other dishes, symbolizing perfection and unity.
Everyone gathered around Old Mr. Jarvis, sitting down together for the New Year's Eve dinner.
Estelle invited Old Wade to join, but he insisted on standing, saying it was tradition to care for Old Mr. Jarvis first before excusing
himself.

blooming red plums, creating a festive atmosphere.
It was the first tthe family had been thisplete, and Old Mr. Jarvis's smile never faded.
Seeing Gabriel pouring wine for Old Mr. Jarvis, Sylvia grabbed her own glass, smiling, "Pourone too, I'll join Old Mr. Jarvis for a
drink."
Gabriel looked at her, pouring half a glass.
She raised her glass to Old Mr. Jarvis, "Thank you for spending the New Year with us, givingthe feeling of family. Cheers!"
"We're all family here, no need for formalities!" Old Mr. Jarvis, all smiles, lifted his glass, "Let's all have a drink, except for Estelle.
Those who can, take a sip!"
Estelle joined in with juice, while Jonathan opted for red wine.
