“I thought you said you were just coming up to change clothes. Why haven’t you gone back downstairs after changing?” Old Master Stuart’s tone was slightly displeased. He knew his beloved grandson had no intention of returning to the banquet, and that’s why he came up personally to take him down.
As he approached the sofa, Zachary found a scattered medicine box.
He raised his head and looked at Baron Stuart, “What’s wrong with you? Did you get hurt somewhere?”
Upon hearing this, Baron Stuart’s nerves tightened, fearing his grandfather would sense something. Casting a glance, he found that the clumsy woman had tidied up the bloodstained gauze; otherwise, his grandpa would have insisted on getting to the bottom of it.
“Nothing serious. I accidentally broke a cup just now, and the shards cut my hand. I’ve already put on a patch.”
After Baron Stuart finished speaking, he subconsciously hid one hand under the other, rubbing the injured finger as if comforting it. In reality, he didn’t want Zachary to see his hand that had not been bandaged.
Zachary glanced at his protected palms and nodded. As long as he was alright,
“Okay, come down with me.”
As for his previous evasion, Zachary didn’t intend to blame him. All that mattered was that he accepted the arrangements for tonight.
“Okay.” In order to prevent Zachary from discovering Emily Walker’s presence, Baron Stuart got up first.
Zachary then stood up as well, and the grandfather and grandson left the room together. Before leaving, Baron Stuart looked back at the bedroom.
Emily Walker stayed in the room, pressing her face to the door. She didn’t want to eavesdrop on the conversation outside, just know when they left the room.
Finally, when it seemed like there was no movement outside, Emily cautiously opened the door and peeked out.
She tiptoed out of the living room with no one in sight outside.
Checking the time, it was already 9:30 PM, and it was time for her to leave.
Just as Emily approached the door to open it, she discovered – the door couldn’t be opened!
What was going on? Emily desperately turned the doorknob but still couldn’t open it.
“Hey, is there anyone out there!?” No matter how much she pounded on the door, there was no movement outside.
Could it be that she had been locked inside? Bang! Bang! Bang! “Hey, is anyone out there!? Let me out!”
As the door remained closed, Emily panicked!
In the luxurious and aristocratic banquet hall, Baron Stuart remained expressionless throughout, his unapproachable demeanor stopping those who saw him from wanting to engage in conversation.
“Brother, what’s wrong with you?” Bella Stuart, hand in hand with Leonardo Bryson, approached and couldn’t help but ask when she saw her brother looking not so good.
Baron looked at his little sister, and calmly replied, “Nothing’s wrong.”
“Baron, I heard today’s wine party theme is for you and Camila Walker?” Seeing his friend’s unapproachable expression, Leonardo couldn’t help but tease, having guessed what Old Master Stuart was going to announce today.
Last year, the engagement between Baron Stuart and Camila Walker was supposed to be announced. However, Baron left back then. Without the presence of the main subject, Old Master Stuart, concerned about the Stuart Family’s face, did not make the announcement.
Nowadays, fearing the past would repeat itself, Old Master Stuart personally captured Baron Stuart, so it seemed certain that today’s engagement would be announced..
