Sylvia's POV:
Holding his suit jacket in one hand, Richard strode into the banquet hall.
His hair, which used to reach his waist, had been cut short, and slightly wavy tufts were casually hung around his ears, which made him look gentle. His new hairstyle managed to mask most of his evilness.
As soon as he strode in, the atmosphere in the banquet hall dropped several hundred degrees.
The warm smile on Laura's face had vanished. She instantly became dignified and reserved.
Even Ethan, who always protected Richard, put down his fork and knife unhappily.
As if he didn't notice the change of the atmosphere, Richard pulled out a chair and sat down. "Why didn't you tell me there was a family dinner? And how could you still call it a 'family dinner' without me?" Then he gestured at the maids to bring him a set of tableware.
Ethan didn't say anything. After all, Richard was his son. Even if Richard had made big mistakes, he couldn't stop him from eating at their table.
Rufus and I also kept silent and ate the food on our plates without saying a word.
As soon as he was served, the insensible Richard began to ask about Lucy. "I'm her mate. Why can't I see her?"
Ethan's expression darkened. "Don't talk about work during dinner."
Richard refused to give up. "Lucy is my mate and your daughter-in-law. How can she be 'work? It's a family affair, if anything."
With Richard rudely barging into the banquet like this, Rufus and I lost our appetites. We quietly put down our utensils and looked at Richard.
Richard probably figured out that Ethan had given up on him and had decided to train Lucy's child as the new heir after it was born. slah thi (F)indNivil.let website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
How could an arrogant man like Richard accept that? Moreover, the child was not even his biological son.
"Lucy is pregnant. We can risk exposing her to anyone. You can see her after the baby is born." Ethan obviously didn't want to talk much, so he just prevaricated with Richard.
But this only served to anger Richard even more. He glared at Ethan resentfully. "I thought you were supposed to be fair. I didn't expect that you would also be blinded one day. Lucy is such a terrible actress. How could you believe a word she says?"
Sensing that Richard was about to reveal the fact that Lucy's baby wasn't his, Rufus cut him off hurriedly. "Calm down, Richard. Your love for Lucy might've faded away, but be careful what you say next."
I could tell that Rufus just didn't want to upset his father. Ethan was in poor health and couldn't take any more stimulation.
After being warned by Rufus, Richard calmed down. Reluctantly, he picked up the knife and fork in front of him and began to pick at the food on his plate.
I secretly sighed in relief. Fortunately, he didn't make a huge fuss. Richard was just like fickle weather- he was too moody and unpredictable.
