Evelyn Clayton was dumbfounded for a moment, then hurriedly said, "Bro, that’s not what I meant. I wanted to say, isn’t Samuel back? Can I ask him to help me with this?"
Shane Sinclair’s expression immediately changed, and after a long time, he suppressed the slight embarrassment on his face, cleared his throat, and said, "Oh, I thought you had your mind set on me."
"No." Evelyn Clayton laughed helplessly, "Although we have no blood relation, we both share the Sinclair name externally, so we definitely can’t do that."
Shane’s eyes darkened slightly, a subtle change that Yara Reagan caught completely.
Yara raised an eyebrow but didn’t say anything, just waited for Shane to speak.
"You’re talking about Samuel Quinn?" Shane regained his usual calm demeanor and said seriously, "I’ll ask him. He should be happy to help."
Samuel Quinn was Shane’s friend, and the Quinn Family and the Sinclair Family had been close for generations.
Although the Quinn Family had declined after the death of Samuel’s parents, Samuel managed a racing club, along with some remaining family assets, so things were going quite well now.
Moreover, Samuel, being parentless and a notorious playboy who could change ten girlfriends in a month, naturally wouldn’t care much about such matters.
Most importantly, when Samuel first met Evelyn Clayton, he flirted and pursued her, but after Evelyn put him in his place a few times, they became very close friends.
"It’s okay, bro, just help me arrange a meeting. I’ll talk to him myself. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be appropriate to go directly to him bypassing you, and with you there, Samuel probably won’t refuse me."
Shane stood up and responded, "Okay—I’ll help you schedule it tomorrow and let you know."
After speaking, Shane got up to leave, "Um, you guys should get some rest, it’s getting late. We can talk tomorrow."
Yara Reagan thoughtfully watched Shane’s retreating figure like he was escaping, not saying anything for the moment.
"If Samuel can be arranged to meet tomorrow, will you come with me?" Evelyn Clayton also got up to prepare to go upstairs to rest, "Bring Sharon along? As a gathering."
Iris Lockwood came to Aethelburg mainly to have fun and make friends, to pave the way for her family, so she readily agreed.
Yara Reagan didn’t speak up for a while.
Evelyn noticed something was on her mind and let Iris head to sleep first, then called Yara into her own room.
Closing the door, Evelyn looked at Yara with concern, "What’s wrong? You haven’t spoken much earlier, is something on your mind?" This text is hosted at novel{f}ire.net
Yara pressed her lips together without speaking, and Evelyn subconsciously assumed something was wrong, becoming more solemn.
"Is something wrong in Riversend? Or Gem—"
"No, no." Yara quickly interrupted her imagination, "Gem is fine, everyone over there is good, too."
Evelyn became even more puzzled, "Then what’s bothering you?"
Yara hesitated for a long time before finally speaking, "Do you feel like Shane is acting strange around you?"
Evelyn was stunned for a moment, the light in her eyes flickering, "What do you mean?"
"I feel like Shane’s attitude towards you has surpassed the boundaries of a brother to a sister."
Evelyn pursed her lips, remaining silent.
Yara said, "When Shane heard about what happened in Paris, he left without a word before Mrs. Wong could finish her sentence. To be honest, the last time I saw someone act like that towards you, it was—"
She paused before continuing.
"It was James Grant."
Evelyn’s lips tightened even more, and she didn’t speak for a long time.
What Yara pointed out wasn’t something Evelyn hadn’t noticed.
But Evelyn had been trying to convince herself it was just her imagination.
Now that an outsider mentioned it...
It seems her feelings weren’t wrong.
