Chapter 96

"How about some good news to make the evening?"  Damon announced upon his arrival. 

"I could use some good news." She let him help Angel onto his seat and waited with bated breath. In response, he nodded to Mabella. 

"Why don't we wait until after dinner? I promise it will be worth the wait." She winked, but Avery didn't think she could wait. 

"Did the two of you come up with a plan to torture me with curiosity?" She groaned, but the siblings didn't relent. She stopped asking when she realized they had no plans of telling her what the good news was. 

She was not the only one waiting for the good news. Mina and Chloé were impatient too, and so was Gabriel when he returned and heard of what they were waiting for. 

He sat down to gobble up his dinner. 

"What happened to the D'Abovilles?" Avery asked. 

"I tossed them off the bridge." He shrugged and stuffed his mouth with a drumstick.
