“I'm going to the old man's place for dinner. I'll come home after that.” She nodded.

As soon as Corentin arrived at the Lloyd family's chateau, he noticed another car parked in the distance.

With his jacket in hand, he proceeded into the mansion, expressionlessly and heard people conversing.

Meredith was sitting by the coffee table with Cory and the two were chatting.

Her eyes lit up when she saw Corentin, but as a high- born lady, she had her pride and had not forgotten about the humiliation Corentin brought her.

“You are great at arriving at precisely the time you are needed, aren't you?" Cory said sharply. “It's so hard to get you here to keep me company. It's a good thing I have Meredith here.”

Corentin tossed his jacket onto the couch and sat down, before pulling at his necktie. “You know that I'm busy.”

“Be that as it may, you can't neglect those who are important to you,” Cory said.

Corentin read between Cory’s words and suppressed his frustration, before deciding to play along. “You should have mentioned that Meredith was here. I would have come earlier.”

He had given Meredith an excuse to join the conversation and naturally, Meredith took the hint as she did not come all the way to throw a tantrum. “I'm here to keep Uncle

Cory company. I didn't know that you were coming. You must be hungry, right? Uncle Cory, let's start dinner.”

Satisfied with the harmonious atmosphere, Cory got up and said, “Let's go, then. If I starve you, Meredith is going to be upset with me.”

After dinner, Corentin stayed back to chat with Cory for a while, mostly about the operation of the firm. Corentin was responsive at first and slowly became quiet. With Meredith next to them, Cory knew better than to lose his temper and said, “You should send Meredith back!”

“I thought that she drove here?” Corentin said.

Cory's expression darkened at how stubborn Corentin was.

Not wanting to stay another moment, Corentin got up and said, “I'll send you back.”

Meredith got up as well. “Sure! We'll take our leaves now, Uncle Cory.”

“Sure. Say hello to your grandpa for me. I will go visit them in a few days.”

“I'll tell him that.”

Meredith went into the Bintley and since Corentin remained silent, she had to take the initiative to start a conversation. “Are you mad about what happened two days ago? I know that guys have their pride, but so do I! I was trying to be nice when I asked Ashlynn to join my birthday party and she gave me such a cheap gift to embarrass me in front of all my friends.”

“I will send you another gift later,” he said.

Her lips curled into a satisfied smile as she leaned over to him and wrapped her arms around his. "Alright. I can forgive you for not being at my birthday party, but you still need to buy me a gift. I like whatever you give me.”

By the time Corentin returned home, Ashlynn had already fallen asleep.

He buried his face in the crook of her neck and inhaled deeply as though he was addicted to her scent.

She hummed in her sleep, before turning around. Corentin pressed his body closer, but soon heard a bark and sensed something moving underneath the blanket.

Before lifting the blanket, he had already guessed what it was. He grabbed hold of the little dog with a dark expression. “You let it sleep on the bed?”

Ashlynn jolted awake and saw her struggling puppy in Corentin’s hand. “I don't know when it crawled up to the bed. I'll put it outside the room right now.”

She grabbed her dog and hurried out of bed, before shushing it outside the room. When she went back into the room, she panicked slightly at the expression on his face and said, “Should I call for the maid to change the sheets?”
