It was rumored that Lady Jennifer went to the office, crying and begging Dylan not to stay away from home, imploring him to return for meals and stay the night as usual. It seemed that he indeed went home these few days, but he always returned home very late, nearing midnight in fact. He would then spend the night before leaving early the next morning.
Dylan sat down beside Lola. At this, Logan shifted his gaze between them both. For some reason, Old Mrs. Constance’s remark earlier came to mind. On a closer look, the two of them truly make quite a good match. A hint of unease rose within him, but he couldn’t figure out exactly why he was feeling discomfited.
While they were eating, William asked whether Owen was at home. Dylan pursed his lips. “No idea. I came here straight away.”
Judging from his answer, he probably came back earlier today yet didn’t want to go home. Thus, he came over here to have dinner with us. William sighed, but he couldn’t say anything to persuade him otherwise. He’s actually a very obedient child, so he must have been bottling his dissatisfactions for too long a time considering the magnitude of the fit he’s throwing now.
During dinner, Dylan didn’t even look at Sophia, his gaze seemingly never leaving the immediate area before him.
Ignorant to the chaotic state of affairs, Logan inquired about William’s work. Then, he even surreptitiously asked Dylan whether he had a girlfriend. Everything was fine before this, but the moment his question was heard, the atmosphere at the dinner table turned tense.
Dylan stilled at once. A brief second later, he replied, “No.”
Upon hearing this, the expressions of those who were in the know changed several times. Looks like Owen didn’t manage to convince him otherwise, they thought.
