Once a Doormat Now Untouchable (Caleb and Sydney) novel Chapter 794

Agatha was an easy conversationalist. She handed Alan a glass of juice and effortlessly struck up a conversation. "Alan, what do you think people our age should do to take care of their health?"

Once the conversation turned to his own field, Alan found himself equally at ease. He talked about diet and daily routines, seasonal changes, and individual constitutions, explaining each point with clear, careful logic.

Agatha and Florence listened closely and occasionally interrupted to ask about the finer details.

The scent of cocoa filled the room. The elders' laughter and conversation drifted faintly through the half-open sliding door and into the living room.

Raymond walked over to the sofa with a beer bottle in hand. "Come on. While the elders are busy chatting, let's play a game."

He patted the arm of the sofa and swept his gaze around the room.

Julian raised an eyebrow. "What game?"

"Truth or Dare," Raymond said.

Naturally, Sydney was the first to agree. She could not sit still for too long while pregnant, but it was rare for everyone to get together like this, and she wanted them all to have a good time.

Tiffany sat nearby and rolled her eyes. "How old are we? We're still playing this?"

"Any age can play." Raymond shrugged. "Scared?"

Sydney nudged Tiffany's elbow with a smile. "Just for a bit. Half an hour, that's all."

Tiffany finally gave in. "It's just a game. Who's scared?"

James sat on the sofa with a cup of warm cocoa in hand and showed no intention of joining them. "Go ahead and play. I'll just watch from here."

Charlotte, who sat beside Sydney, smiled. "I think I'll sit this one out too. I'll just watch."

"No way." Sydney reached over and caught her wrist. "You're playing too. It's only fun if everyone joins in. If you're too scared, I'll take your turn when it comes around."

Charlotte laughed at her shameless logic. "Fine. Two rounds, then."

Hugo sat at the other end of the sofa, relaxed and unconcerned. He had no real interest in this kind of game, yet his gaze wandered toward Diana despite himself.
