The few people each had their own thoughts and were exchanging pleasantries.
Old Master Lancaster watched with amusement, a smile on his face, glancing nonchalantly at Julian Lancaster. Seeing that his expression was neutral, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.
He was really worried that this kid would embarrass him by refusing to come back for dinner, or that he would disrespect Miss Yates and show her a sour face, which would lead to a falling out with the Yates Family.
Unexpectedly, not only did he return, but he also didn’t show much resistance. It was clear he silently accepted the idea of being set up with Ellen Yates. It seemed Sharon Lancaster had a good talk with him, persuading him to give up on Nina Sinclair.
So be it! The position of the Lancaster Family’s head matriarch is not something a woman like Nina Sinclair can hold!
However, Old Madam Lancaster, observing the situation, couldn’t help but sigh internally. Perhaps she was biased from the start; even now, despite seeing Miss Yates as quite nice, she still felt Nina Sinclair was better in some ways.
Soon, dinner was ready, and everyone took their seats together.
Old Master Lancaster intentionally arranged for Ellen Yates to sit next to Julian Lancaster. Strangely, Julian didn’t object, which made Old Master Lancaster even happier.
After dinner, he asked Julian Lancaster to take Ellen Yates for a walk in the Lancaster Family’s garden.
Before they left, he carefully pulled Julian aside and sternly warned him not to give Ellen any attitude, or he wouldn’t be forgiven. This update is available on NoveI-Fire.ɴet
Julian nodded with a cold expression, and only then did Old Master Lancaster feel at ease letting them leave.
Seeing Julian and Ellen leave, Sharon Lancaster discreetly blinked at him, signaling that he could start pretending to be ill to avoid the situation.
In the living room, Old Master Lancaster occasionally glanced outside, anxious that Julian might cause some trouble.
Meanwhile, Sharon was keeping Old Madam Lancaster company, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Suddenly, a maid rushed in, looking anxious, and said, "Master, Madam, something’s wrong! Young Master Quentin has fainted!"
"What?" Both Old Master Lancaster and Old Madam Lancaster’s expressions changed simultaneously.
Sharon looked slightly pleased, but quickly hid it. She turned to the maid and asked, "What did you say? My brother fainted? What happened?"
"Just now, Miss Yates frantically found us, telling us that Young Master Quentin fainted. I don’t know what happened either."
Old Master Lancaster’s face turned solemn. He stood up and said, "Get someone to help Quentin to his room, and have others find the family doctor!"
Half an hour later, everyone gathered in Julian Lancaster’s room.
Old Master Lancaster, looking at the pallid Julian, had a very grim expression. He asked in a deep voice, "How could Julian suddenly faint?"
Julian had always been very healthy; it was unthinkable for such a problem to occur.
At this time, Old Madam Lancaster sat by the bed, nervously watching Julian, her face full of anxiety.
From behind, Sharon said, "Grandfather, Grandmother...you know my brother has been working in the office for three days straight without coming home. People aren’t made of iron. How could such an intense lifestyle not cause any issues? So my brother fainting from exhaustion is quite normal."
Old Madam Lancaster sighed heavily, looking somewhat reproachfully at Old Master Lancaster.
"Why did you give Julian so much work? Do you want to work my grandson to death?"
For a moment, Old Master Lancaster was at a loss for words. He was initially pleased that Julian was focusing so much on his work; who would have thought that he would faint? He didn’t want such a thing to happen.
