Bride To Be Not Me (Janice and Simon) novel Chapter 296

"Since you're doing fine, I'll leave after dinner. Call me if anything comes up. Once you wrap things here, come and find me in Greenfield City," Edward said.

Hearing this, Robert couldn't help but feel his son had truly grown up.

"Calvin and Matilda will be back later. Go ahead and continue with your work."

After Barbara informed them, Calvin and Matilda both made their way home. By 4:30 pm, the Moore residence was lively again.

The Swanwick couple arrived as well.

"Mr. Moore, is this your eldest son?" Kellan asked with a smile. "He's quite the impressive young man."

"Thank you, Mr. Swanwick," Calvin replied with a polite smile. "Dinner's ready. Please take your seat."

"Your younger brother hasn't arrived yet, right? No rush."

The Swanwick couple assumed Edward hadn't returned yet.

Myra went straight to the point. "Edward is upstairs in the study. He's been swamped lately—dealing with company matters and liaising with the Historical Artifacts Conservancy. On top of that, he's been taking care of his girlfriend."

The room fell silent.

Everyone knew why the Swanwicks had brought their youngest daughter, Lysette, along tonight.

Myra's blunt mention of Edward having a girlfriend left the Swanwicks visibly uncomfortable.

Terry glanced at Myra before saying, "Why don't you go call Edward down? His girlfriend probably isn't feeling well and went to bed early. He should eat something before heading back to Greenfield City to be with her."

And just like that, he left the Swanwicks no room to object.
