With just one glance, Gerard could tell that among the two elderly and one youth who wanted to join the table, the expressionless, tall middle-aged man and the curious boy looking around were father and son.
Though the elder and the young one had differing temperaments, their noses and chins were unmistakably cast from the same mold.
As for the round-faced, chubby man who approached to ask, he should just be a companion.
"Why wouldn't it be okay?" Gerard readily agreed to their request to join the table, "Anyway, the two of us just casually came together."
Used to making decisions impulsively, it wasn't until Gerard picked up the cap placed on the spare chair that he remembered he hadn't asked the tablemate's opinion.
"What do you think?" Gerard asked the blonde gentleman somewhat embarrassedly.
The blonde gentleman smiled generously, "If you don't mind, then I certainly have no objections."
