Although Huston didn't speak much, he obediently listened to their conversation from the side. The two old people's gazes were mostly glued to Lucas, and it could be seen that they loved him from the bottom of their hearts.
Soon, it was time for dinner. The servants had prepared delicious food in advance. They were old and couldn't eat many things, but they still made a table full of food for them.
There were all kinds of flavors, and they were very comprehensive, which also gave them room to choose what they liked. Such details were kept in Evelyn's mind.
"Evelyn, I heard that you've started to operate the flower shop. How's it going? Are you tired?" Sir Lloyd suddenly asked.
Evelyn reported honestly, "This is just the beginning. I want to develop a national chain, and the specific plans are still in progress. I am not tired. What made me feel tired is explaining to Huston every day that I am not tired."
As soon as she said that, everyone laughed at the same time. Even Sir Lloyd, who had never been good at joking, couldn't help saying, "I think it won't be long before you are the one supporting the family. Huston is the one who takes care of the child!"
Huston's fork, which was picking up the fish, paused. "Grandpa, don’t joke around. Even a lean camel is bigger than a horse."
"What are you talking about?" Sir Lloyd shook his head helplessly. Just as he was about to take a sip of water from the cup on the table, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart.
Sir Lloyd immediately put down his arm. Unexpectedly, it did not slow down but became more intense.
The pain spread from his chest and rushed to his limbs along the blood vessels. His arms quickly stiffened, and he couldn't even bend them.
Lucas was the first to notice it. He asked repeatedly, "Great-grandpa, what's wrong?"
Before he could finish his sentence, Sir Lloyd lost his balance and fell straight to the side. His eyes were still open, but his mouth could no longer make any sound.
