Chapter 187: The Master’s Welcome Gift
Madam, it’s me.”
The maid’s thin voice came from outside the door.
Laura jumped at the sound.
The maid continued, “The dinner is about to begin. The old master asked me to call you to dinner.”
The old master had arrived?
a wiped her tears with a handkerchief and hurriedly replied, “I know, we’ll go right over…”
After saying that, she looked at Max, the corner of her mouth barely pulled out a shallow smile to say, “Maz, today is also my grandfather’s birthday after all. Don’t take what happened just now to your heart. It’s just how he is a person… We can just have a good time together. We don’t need to worry about that man!”
After speaking about the last part, Laura couldn’t help but grind her teeth again.
Seeing his mother in this state, Max couldn’t help but shake his head. “You are the one who needs to relax.”
He had long since stopped caring about his father. It was just that his mother…
She still couldn’t let go of him. She kept on loving and hating him at the same time.
“I…” Laura’s face stiffened and she denied, “Where did I…”
“All right, let’s go.”
Max did not move to change the subject, because he did not want his mother to dwell on it.
When Laura heard this, she nodded hurriedly, “Right, hurry up and go to the hall. Don’t keep the old man waiting.”
Max turned his head to look at Charlotte and found the girl in a daze.
She stood with dull eyes, looking surprisingly cute in some inexplicable way.
He couldn’t help but speak up, a slight pleasure in his cool voice.
“Let’s go,” he said to her.
Charlotte sniffed and immediately raised her eyes to look at the man.
“Oh.” She nodded, then reached out to push Max’s wheelchair.
“What were you thinking?” the man suddenly asked in a light voice.
Charlotte pursed her lips.
Right now, she was thinking about old Mr. Foster.
She would meet this legendary man soon.
He had inherited the glory of the Foster family and taken it to even greater heights.
She heard that he had a cold and stern character, was decisive in killing, and had a clear distinction between love and hate.
But why would such a person let the Foster family become what it was now?
It’s glamorous on the surface, but chaotic on the inside.
The illegitimate children being on the throne, Jonathan’s absurdity, Max being disliked since childhood…

Charlotte was thinking about all this just now.
Of course, she couldn’t say these words to Max.
Her eyes moved slightly, and she answered in a low voice, “I was just thinking…”
Her voice paused for a moment and then continued, “I must protect you well from now on…”
Her words were also considered sincere.
When Max heard this, his deep eyes paused slightly.
After a moment of silence, the man replied meaningfully, “I’m not as weak as you think…”
hould be the one protecting you.”
“Okay, are you showing off your affection in front of me?” Laura, who had been listening to the conversation between the two, finally couldn’t help herself and spoke out in mock disgust, but her eyes hid a hidden smile.
When Charlotte heard this, the tips of her ears suddenly blushed slightly.
She felt a little shy.
Max, on the other hand, was unchanged and calm.
The three of them walked slowly out of the bedroom.
When they entered the hall, everyone was already seated.
Calvin and Yohan were sitting together, and next to them was Cecilia.
Jonathan looked as if he had already sobered up. He had changed his clothes and the redness on his face had faded a bit, but his eyes were still a bit
misty.
Sophia had changed as well, taking off her black jacket and replacing it with a decent–looking dress.
Old Mr. Foster, on the other hand, sat in the middle.
He looked rather young, not old.
His handsome face did not fit his age.
His eyebrows were sharp, and his eyes were cold.
His whole body was filled with a lingering aura and a reserved temperament.
Charlotte glanced at him and felt that the eyebrows and eyes of old Mr. Foster and Max were very similar.
Of all the children and grandchildren present, only Max resembled old Mr. Foster the most.
When the three of them entered the hall, the crowd couldn’t help but look at them.
Old Mr. Foster’s eyes flickered, and a hint of a smile suddenly flashed under his eyes.
“Max.” He looked at Max and called out with a happy smile.
Max nodded at him, “Grandpa.”
“Hey,” Old Mr. Foster replied immediately. He looked straight at his grandson with a mixture of joy and complexity in his eyes.
“You look really good.” He said with a smile, then waved at Max. “Max, come here. Come here to Grandpa.”
As soon as Max appeared, it was as if old Mr. Foster’s eyes were glued to him, and now he wanted him to sit next to him.
For a moment, the atmosphere around the table was a little awkward.

Chapter 187: The Master’s Welcome Gift
Calvin gifted his teeth, Yohan’s face was calm and quiet, unable to see his emotions, and Jonathan was unexpectedly silent…
Charlotte pushed Max to old Mr. Foster’s side.
“This is Charlotte, right?” The old master raised his eyes and his gaze landed on her again.
He smiled at her as he secretly sized her up.
Charlotte, of course, noticed.
Old Mr. Foster was looking at her.
The corners of her lips turned slightly, and she smiled with a relaxed expression. “Yes, Grandpa.”
