In the Lawrence family's courtyard.
The courtyard was still bustling with activity.
Jeanne accompanied Thedus to see Old Master Lawrence.
At that time, all the members of the Lockes were there.
Octavia was very good at adapting to the situation.
When she saw Jeanne and Thedus, she took the initiative to say with enthusiasm, "Jeannie, our misunderstanding turned into a joke last time. I apologize. You didn't take it to heart, did you?"
Jeanne naturally knew how to act too. She quickly said, "You overstated it, Auntie. These few days, I've also been reflecting on myself. I shouldn't have argued with you like that in public. It was my fault."
"Don't say that. I was too emotional at that time..."
"We're all family. The past is in the past."Jenifer played the role of a good person. "In the future, once Jeannie gets married, please take good care of her."
"Of course. I'll definitely treat her like my own daughter."
Jenifer and Octavia flattered each other very well.
The atmosphere in the room was unusually harmonious because of them.
After staying in Old Master Lawrence's room for a while, everyone returned to the living room and greeted the guests who came and went.
At this moment, George also walked into the living room from the outside and walked to Jeanne's side.
Thedus hated George. When he saw George walking over, he did not look too good.
Nonetheless, he knew he could not show it at such an occasion. He simply did not take the initiative to pay attention to George.
At this moment.
In the large living room, a melodious song came from the piano.
Everyone looked over.
They saw a child sitting playing the grand piano in the hall of the Lawrence family's manor smoothly.
That child was none other than Jeremiah, the son of Thedus's brother, Hugh.
For a six-year-old child, Jeremiah was not bad to be able to play at this level. Obviously, everyone in the hall seemed to be amazed by him.
The song ended.
Jeremiah left the piano and bowed politely.
Everyone in the hall applauded.
Octavia stood beside Jeremiah and said hurriedly, "My grandson said that he wanted to play a song to wish Old Master Lawrence a happy birthday."
"Thank you." Alexander quickly went forward and said, "Jeremiah is so thoughtful."
Damian also echoed from the side.
The others also complimented him. "Damian, your grandson is really capable." "He was just making a fool of himself..."
"You're too humble." "If my grandson was as capable as yours, I wouldn't have to worry so much..."
The others kept praising him.
Jeremiah was also very proud. At this moment, he was being led by Octavia to Thedus's side. The smug look on his face made his nostrils turn up.
Thedus carried his nephew and sneered at Jeanne. "Your son can never be compared to him. I'd be embarrassed to bring your son out in the future!"
Jeanne gave Thedus a sidelong glance.
Originally, Jeanne did not care about these things at all. Seeing Octavia deliberately showing off in front of her, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. She knew very well that Octavia was doing this to take revenge by showing her magnanimity as George stepped on her gown the last time. Octavia was quite sinister to have schemed this.
Jeanne held George's little hand and walked toward the grand piano.
At this moment, Alexander and Damian were still there. Seeing Jeanne bring George over, Alexander's expression changed slightly.
Those who were clever knew that given the relationship between the Lawrences and the Lockes at the moment, everyone wanted to compare Jeremiah and George.
Jeanne did not care about Alexander's expression at that moment. She carried George and sat him down on the piano.
"Jeanne." Alexander went forward and stopped her
abruptly. "Don't humiliate yourself."
