Just then, Ivanna's dad cleared his throat, reminding everyone that they were still waiting for Nick to arrive. "Ah, yes, speaking of family... where is that boy?" he muttered, glancing at his watch again.
Ivanna's dad muttered under his breath, "That boy is always late. Spoiled, that's what he is."
Claire and Cavin exchanged curious glances, sensing the tension in the air. Ivanna shot her dad a warning look, trying to lighten the mood.
While Ivanna 's mom said to her dad
"Come on, honey, Let's not be too hard on Nick. He'll be here soon, he has never missed by birthday."
But Ivanna's dad softened a little then he just grumbled and shook his head. "I swear, that boy has no sense of time..."
Ivanna's dad instructed Nicholas to call Nick, his voice tinged with irritation.
"Tell that young man to get home !!"
he exclaimed, his frown deepening. Nicholas obediently dialed Nick's number, but his expression quickly changed to one of surprise.
