Old Mrs. Grant obviously lost her appetite today, so she just ate a little and stopped then.
However, she waved her hand and said to Marshall. "Don't worry about me. Have more food. You are tired all day."
She stood up slowly and the servants who were waiting outside supported her to walk out.
Marshall slowly put down his chopsticks, and he did not want to eat anymore.
He sat still, thought for a moment, and took the cigarette out of his pocket.
When he just held the lighter, the cell phone on the desk rang.
Marshall took it over and looked at the screen. Then he picked it up. "Miss Henderson."
Clara's voice sounded very soft. "Excuse me."
Marshall still lit the cigarette and said, "It’s OK. What's the matter?"
Clara sighed. "In the afternoon, auntie called me and said that she was uncomfortable. She told me something. I’m a little worried, but I’m afraid she could not calm down in front of me. So I wanted to ask you whether you are at home. Does she feel better now?"
Marshall drew on his cigarette and leaned back. "Well, she is much better now."
He did not want to ask what Mrs. Grant and Clara said.
Maybe she told everything to Clara.
Clara seemed a little speechless, so she paused.
Then she faltered, "Please try to persuade her. After all, you have to live together in the future. You should get along well with each other."
Marshall smiled silently. "OK. I see."
Clara said in a lower voice. "You are family, so you don't have to do this."
Marshall became silent.
Clara thought about it and said. "Would you mind if I visit auntie tomorrow? She told me a lot today. I think I should go out of politeness."
Marshall did not care about this. "It’s up to you."
Clara said, "I’m free tomorrow."
They had already made it clear at this time.
Marshall hung up and smoked in the restaurant.
Then he stood up and went to the outside.
He could see the parking lot from here and a corner of the garden.
Lucas was over there. Maybe he also came out to walk around after dinner.
Marshall glanced at him and went over.
Lucas was alone over there, with his hands in pockets, staring at the parking lot.
