Chapter 776

Cynthia bit her lip shyly, her face scarlet. 'Maybe he's just being polite. It couldn't have been romantic.'

Cynthia bit her lip shyly, her face scarlet. 'Maybe he's just being polite. It couldn't have been romantic.'

“But he's a lot better now, so take the chance, Cynthia,” Henry advised her. “He's a softie at heart. Yeah, he might look uncaring, but he's a loyal man. If you make him fall for you, he'll treat you like a queen.”

'I know.' Cynthia nodded with a smile.

“Do you still like him then?” Henry asked again.

'Yes,' she answered without missing a beat. 'I have loved him the moment I saw him back when I was fifteen, and that hasn't changed.'

“That's good to hear.” Henry smiled warmly.

A short while later, Mrs. Rawlston had prepared lemon and herb lamb skewers and some oatmeal. The servants took Henry and Cynthia to the dining table, and Zachary came down after changing.

They sat around the table, and Henry asked about the company, while Zachary answered him. Henry criticized him, dissatisfied with Zachary's nonchalant attitude.

Zachary was getting impatient. “I've been working the whole day now. Can't you just let me have some peace and quiet at home?”

“Why you...”

Henry was about to fly into a rage, but Cynthia gave him a skewer and gestured, 'The skewer's really nice. Have some, Grandpa.'

Her gentle smile soothed Henry's fury. “You should take a leaf out of her page. She's so gentle, so nice.” Henry pointed at Zachary. “You, on the other hand, growls at everyone.”

Zachary had his supper in silence. He wanted to get back to his room, but he needed to be there so Cynthia would calm Henry down, or he would have left otherwise.

'Grandpa, you seem to look tired these days. Did something happen?' Cynthia gesticulated.

“Nope. Just taking care of the kids. I'm still fit as a fiddle.” He sighed. “But yeah, age isn't on my side, and this is one humid mountain. My whole body's sore and that tires me out easily.”

Zachary looked up at Cynthia. We're getting to the main topic now.
