Seeing her mother's apparent attempt to hide the truth, Benedict frowned and was about to say something when
she heard Bonnie's voice.
"Dad, Mom, why are you just standing there? Why don't you cinside?"
Welma saw Ivor standing beside Bonnie, worried about embarrassing Bonnie, and was about to signal Benedict
to hide the bags. Before she could do so, Bonnie and Ivor walked over.
Bonnie's eyes lit up when she saw the two nylon bags in Benedict's hands. "Dad, Mom, did you bringthese
from the countryside?"
Welma felt ashamed since she was still troubled by the remarks made by the folks about them being country
bumpkins.
She lowered her head and spoke softly. "Yes... We didn't know what else to bring, so we brought sof your
favorites from home. | hope you don't mind."

Seeing the bag full of chestnuts, she picked one up and started eating it. "Mmm, it's so sweet. The chestnuts
from hare the best."
Then she took another chestnut and offered it to Ivor. "Try it. See how it tastes."
Ivor cracked the shell and ate the chestnut, then praised it. "The flesh is very sweet. It's so delicious."
Welma, initially tense and worried
that Ivor would disdain their count
goods, felt relieved seeing him eat it. She relaxed her demeanor. "If you
like it, we'll bring more next time."
Ivor smiled warmly. "Thank you, Mom." Then he turned to Gerald and added, "Thank you, Dad."
Gerald laughed heartily and waved it off. "We're family, no need to be so formal."
Bonnie smiled warmly while walking between Welma and Gerald and linking arms with them. "Dad, Mom, you
must be hungry after traveling such a long way. I've prepared a big meat for you inside. | specifically asked the
chef to make it to your taste."
Welma was touched by Bonnie's thoughtfulness and looked very gratified. "You're so considerate."
"This is just a small thing," Bonnie replied, leaning on Welma's shoulder. "You're my parents; it's the least | can
do."
Welma was moved by her words and felt her eyes turn red.
