Gwen unveiled an expression tinged with shyness, subtly nodding her head.

Aster could only breathe a sigh of relief slowly as she noticed the Old Mrs Stone’s apparent satisfaction and affection towards Gwen.

At that moment, Old Mr. Stone and Hugh descended from the upper floors. The butler, accompanied by the servants, had finished arranging tonight's dinner. The whole Stone family congregated in the dining room and subsequently took their seats one by one, following Old Mr. Stone and Old Mrs. Stone.

Both Khloe and Aster were putting in effort to keep the conversation pleasant, however, Old Mr. Stone's expression remained indifferent, with no hint of his emotional state apparent. Yet, upon glancing at Lucian, the obedient little boy sitting in Lambert's lap with wide eyes darting all over the place, a warm smile instantly filled his eyes. He motioned subtly, "Bring Lucian over for me to take a look. I haven’t seen him all day. I wonder if this little fellow still remembers his great-grandfather."

Jolene could not help but laugh, saying, "It's only been a day; children don't have such bad memory."

She finished speaking and then handed over the child to him.

Upon watching this, Lambert simply glanced at them without uttering a word.

Feeling satisfied, Old Mr. Stone held his great-grandson once again. He teased the little boy, saying, "Little guy, what would you like to eat, huh?" Lucian was barely a year old and not really capable of eating anything; at most, he could have some porridge or baby food. Old Mr. Stone only said this to tease his great-grandson playfully.

And, whether it was all in his head or not, his mood improved every time he laid eyes on his great-grandson, irrespective of how irritable he was feeling.

Lucian's larger water-like eyes could indeed make someone's heart turn soft anytime.

Little Lucian didn’t understand his great-grandfather's words. However, since he was always being held by various people and also did not get fussy with anyone new, Old Mr. Stone was able to calm him down. Lucian just kept on babbling, which, needless to say, was adorable.

Old Mrs. Stone seemed somewhat discontent with Old Mr. Stone and said, "Don’t tease him, he can't eat anything now, why are you deliberately tempting him?"

Hearing this, Old Mr. Stone couldn’t help but furrow his brows. He decided to respect his wife’s opinion and responded lightly, "I was just trying to amuse him."

This response made Old Mrs. Stone even more irritated. She thought to herself, 'If I were eating in front of you, would you be amused?' However, Old Mrs. Stone was tactful enough and refrained from contending in front of everyone. Instead, she weaned for Lucian and said, "Okay, let me hold him for a while."

The Old Mr. Stone effortlessly avoided his wife’s hand, responding indifferently, "You've been holding him all day. You should rest now."

Everyone: "..."

At this moment, the teeth of the people from the first household were almost ground to dust. They truly didn’t understand why an old man and woman were so attached to a child. Even if they like the child, shouldn't they exhibit some restraint? Considering the things that Lambert had done, they really didn’t get why the old man would still favor Lambert's son.

If it were up to them, they would have been long tired of this particular family and have no fondness for the child whatsoever.
