“No rush,” Nathan said to Sierra. “We’ll talk after dinner.”
Sierra nodded in acknowledgment

With John at the dinner, the meal went unusually smoothly. No one was asking any prying questions or grissiping. Everyone was wary of John and did not dare say much. Even when one or two questions came up, John stepped in and handled them for her, leaving Sierra with nothing much to do.
Because of that, the family dinner became just another ordinary dinner.
Most of the time, the Lynch family members were busy buttering up to John. It was all flattery going back and forth.
Halfway through dinner, Sierra looked at John. He sat there composed with an indifferent expression. As if sensing her gaze, he ended his conversation with someone else and looked at her. There was a tenderness in his eyes that even he did not seem to notice.
He asked, “What is it?”
“Nothing.” Sierra looked away.
“If you want to leave, let me know,” John said quietly near her ear. “I’ll handle it.”
Sierra was slightly dazed. In the past, he had said the same thing to her at every dinner party. Sometimes, she didn’t even need to say anything before he took her away.
Suddenly, the wineglass in front of John fell over and wine spilled all over him with a splash and clank.
“Mr. Henderson, I’m so sorry!”
“Mr. Henderson, are you alright?”
The person toasting him panicked.
Although this was a family dinner, everyone knew John’s status in their circles. Now that someone had accidentally spilled wine on him during a toast, everyone was afraid he would take it as the Lynch family provoking him.
“It’s nothing.” John stood and brushed at the wine stains. “I’ll go get changed.”
Everyone quickly agreed. “Of course,
of course.”
“I’m not very familiar with this place.” John’s eyes lay on Sierra. His voice was low and unhurried, and Sierra understood what he wanted. “Sierra, would you show me the way?”
She looked around.
Daniel nodded slightly. “Go ahead.”
The others looked at her with a little more politeness than they had shown earlier, despite the unfamiliarity being still there Sierra nodded in acknowledgment and left with John.
Nathan’s eyes darkened slightly. From his many years of experience, he could tell at a glance that John had knocked over the glass on purpose. Yet, the people at the table had noticed nothing and were all shaken by it.
“Nathan, Mr. Henderson won’t be angry, will he?”
“Will he think I did it on purpose because I don’t like him?”
“I really didn’t mean to. I don’t even know how I knocked his glass over just now.”
Everyone spoke over one another, and no one wanted to offend Johit. The Lynch family was no exception in that regard.

“I don’t know.” Nathan had no intention of making there feel better. His tone was cold. “When he comes back later, ask him yourselves.”
“Didn’t your daughter go with him? Send her a message and check it with hita for us,” someone suggested as he taked an awkward cough. “If he’s angry, I’ll say a few more nice things later.”
Nathan looked over at them all.
Everyone hesitated. “What is it?”
Nathan seized the opening and asked, “Why did I hear that someone has an objection to me giving my shares to Sierra?”
“Did anyone?”
“Why didn’t I hear anything about it?”
