Chapter 1024: "A Warm Banquet"

Chapter 1024: “A Warm Banquet”

The hall was covered with soft fur carpet, giving off a warm and soft vibe. 

Everyone couldn’t help but feel a bit sleepy when they stepped into the hall. 

The Billios Family even set up many incense burners with aromatherapy effects, soothing everyone’s tense nerves. 

The originally solemn and official banquet suddenly became warm and welcoming, not like a big family’s banquet at all. 

At first, the guests were skeptical about the Billios Family’s dress code and banquet theme. 

But when they really experienced it, they couldn’t help but marvel at the Billios Family’s creative ideas. 

It was actually more memorable and comfortable to join such a banquet where everyone didn’t need to put on fake smiles and dress in sparkles. 

The pajama party was really like a small gathering between families, allowing these big shots to relax and socialize without being too formal. 

The food prepared were all delicious at midnight snacks, the drinks were also suitable for a sleepover. 

The Billios Family even prepared card games and board games on each coffee table for guests to play with. 

The older people relaxed their tense nerves after working all day. 

The younger generation was full of curiosity and would try all sorts of things provided at the banquet. 

The children and toddlers were the happiest. 

They could play and make trouble without affecting their family’s honor and face, all because of the banquet’s theme. 

When Ainsley and Jake went down the stairs to the main hall, this scene was what they saw. 

The guests huddled together around a small coffee table for five to eight people. 

There were blankets, a soft marshmallow sofa, and even a seat pillow for those who wanted to sit on the floor. 

The floor itself was covered with fur, but there seemed to be a special coating to prevent stains from the drink or the food. 

The hall even had a small playground for the children, TV for the elders to watch night news, and so on. 

It really looked like a casual pajama party, but on a large scale involving more than a hundred people. 

When Ainsley and Jake descended the stairs side-by-side, the party’s organizer immediately took the lead by taking a microphone and announced their arrivals. 

“Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. The protagonist of our party today is already here! Please welcome Jake Billios and his daughter– Ainsley Sloan!” 

The guests immediately stood from their seats and applauded for the two protagonists. 

Under the loud applause throughout the hall, Ainsley and Jake went to their special table in front of everyone, situated on a small stage taller than the guests’ seats. 

From this height, Ainsley could easily see the whole hall, including her people, such as Elliana, Axelle and others who also came to the welcoming party. 

The Billios Family members also had their own special seats but there was no small stage for them. 

Still, they were the closest to Ainsley and Jake. 

Even more surprising, the hidden guards and security members were also crowding near Jake and Ainsley, but all of them strictly followed the party’s dress code. 

Each of them was wearing pajamas! 

Because of this, no one would notice that these people were actually hidden guards and shadow guards assigned to protect Jake and Ainsley. 

Really amazing. 

Ainsley had never stopped gasping in awe ever since she saw the whole hall. 

As expected of the Billios Family. 

Their weird-themed banquet could actually become such a nice thing, even better than the usual grandeur banquet. 

And actually, Ainsley also preferred this kind of banquet than the formal banquet. 

She could relax her nerves and didn’t have to put on a business smile all day long! 

After Jake and Ainsley got seated, Jake took over the organizer’s microphone and immediately spoke to attract the guests’ attention to him and Ainsley. 

“Good evening, everyone. Welcome to our family’s first-day party. Everyone can enjoy the delicacy that we have prepared before.” 

Jake paused before smiling with his usual business smile, but this time, it was more sincere than his usual smile. 

“After enjoying the delicacy, I will announce the official news at eight o’clock.” 

It means the guests couldn’t go back before Jake announced the official news. 

Anyway, they had an hour and so to enjoy the delicious food and drinks that the Billios Family’s chefs had prepared. 

To Ainsley’s surprise, the food and the drink were also very linear with the pajama party theme. 

The dessert wasn’t luxurious cakes and such but healthy snacks and small cookies. 

The appetizer was mainly warm soup, really suitable for the elderly. 

The main menu was all food like noodles, home cooked food, and so on. It wasn’t as luxurious as the usual banquet, but it was equally delicious. 

The drinks were also either tea or milk. There was no coffee because it was a pajama party. 

Oh, but there were various types of sodas and juices in exchange for coffee. 

If the guests were sleepy, there were also foldable cloud beds at the corner of the hall. 

Everyone could just sleep on the cloud beds, not caring about their image. 

Not to mention that the Billios Family even set up a band just to play lullabies and pop, cheerful music instead of classic opera like the usual banquet. 

All of this made Ainsley’s heart warm up without her knowing. 

It was obviously just a strange banquet, but somehow, the baby felt that whoever organized the party wanted her to be comfortable with it. 

This careful thought was what touched Ainsley’s heart. 

She had just entered the Billios Family as Jake’s adopted daughter, but the Billios Family’s members already took care of her like this. 

Really. It was rare for such a big family to be warm and comforting rather than full of conspiracy and dirty tricks.
