Mr. Liam opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, then hesitated.

He genuinely had no idea where to begin.

As the dishes were brought out one after another, he and Sophie sat there in stunned silence warc Ares Barclay take care of Iris with meticulous attention.

He poured her water.

He served food onto her plate.

When fish was served, he even removed the bones for her before setting it down in front of her.

Most shocking of all, Iris didn’t seem particularly bothered by any of it.

Mr. Liam stared so hard his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

Finally, he leaned closer to Darius and lowered his voice.

“I’ve been away from Capital City for too long. What exactly is going on here?”

He glanced toward Ares.

“Does Mr. Barclay… have feelings for Iris?”

The moment Darius saw the confusion on his mentor’s face, a mischievous idea surfaced.

He had seen Ares around Capital University plenty of times.

Back when the school year had started, Ares often came to see Iris.

There had even been a day when he openly held her hand while walking around campus.

Half the student body had witnessed it.

Later, Darius had shamelessly gone to Iris for gossip and learned that the two were already dating.

Still…

Seeing his mentor’s expression was too entertaining to pass up.

Keeping a perfectly serious face, he nodded.

“I think so. Mr. Barclay is definitely pursuing Iris. He waits outside her dorm all the time. And he constantly gives her gifts.”

The moment Mr. Liam heard that, alarm bells began ringing in his head.

It wasn’t that he disliked Ares.

Far from it.

The problem was that Ares’s status was simply too high.

Someone like Iris could easily get caught up in complications she didn’t deserve.

As an elder, Mr. Liam only wanted the younger generation to live peaceful, happy lives.

He hoped they could avoid unnecessary hardship.

A short while later. Gordon arrived with another round of dishes.

The moment he saw Iris, he greeted her enthusiastically.

“Miss Rissa, you’re here! We’ve developed several new medicinal cuisine recipes recently. Would you mind helping us review them?”

Darius immediately jumped to his feet.

“Iris. I’ll come get some fresh air too.”

Just like that, the two left the private room.

Only Mr. Liam and Ares remained.

Mr. Liam decided this was the perfect opportunity. Looking at Ares, he casually asked, “A successful man like you must already have a marriage arrangement waiting at home, right?”

Ares nodded. “That’s correct. My family has already arranged a marriage alliance with another family.”

The answer instantly made Mr. Liam even more uneasy. The warmth in his expression faded noticeably.

“I know how things work in your circles. A lot of people get engaged or married and still carry on relationships with other women. But Iris is still young. And she’s far too innocent. I’d appreciate it if you didn’t set your sights on her.”

He had carefully chosen those words.

Although he held significant influence in the violin world, he knew perfectly well that he couldn’t compare to a century–old powerhouse like the Barclay family..

Still, he genuinely cared for Iris. He didn’t want her dragged into the mess of high–society politics.

“When I first met Iris overseas…” Mr. Liam sighed,

Originally, Ares had intended to explain the misunderstanding. However, when the older man began talking about Iris’s past, he decided to remain silent. He wanted to hear more.

“When I met her abroad, she was completely alone,”
