Joshua said with a smile, “It has been many years indeed! Henry, I heard your career has been taking
off.”
To that, Henry gave a modest response.
While the pair continued to make casual conversation, Melora came upstairs. She liked Joshua a lot
and went to hold his arm, just like how she used to do when she was little. She said sweetly, “Mr.
Quinn, my dad asked you to join him downstairs.”
He patted the back of her hand fondly, and she flashed him a bright smile. As she accompanied him
downstairs, she asked, “Didn’t Audrey come back this time?”
Joshua froze and subconsciously turned to look at Henry.
The younger man was leaning against the floor-to-ceiling window, his dark clothes blending. into the
darkness outside. A frown furrowed his brows, and he lifted his chin slightly as he slowly puffed away at
the cigarette between his long, slender fingers.
Joshua could not help sighing. Henry is truly a man among men.
His expression darkened as he said to Melora in a low voice, “Mm, she won’t be returning for
now.”
Whatever response Melora uttered after that was a blur to him.
Henry slowly finished smoking his cigarette on the terrace and only descended the stairs. unhurriedly
after hearing his other family members calling him from downstairs.
There was an important guest at the Miller Residence that night. All the housekeepers bustled about
tirelessly, and the atmosphere was lively.
David had prepared a sumptuous feast to welcome his good friend. He rose to his feet, hugged
Joshua, and said warmly, “We haven’t seen each other in many years, yet you’re still as charming as
ever. I, on the other hand, am nothing like that now. I just look like an old man.”
“Dad, don’t tell me you’re still thinking about falling in love for a second time,” Melora teased, her tone
light.
Everyone at the table laughed upon hearing that remark.
Julia chided affectionately, “Nonsense! Just wait and see whether your father teaches you a lesson.”
“Mr. Quinn will protect me,” Melora quipped, sticking out her tongue playfully.
Smiling. Julia said to Joshua in a soft voice. “Melora has always liked being around you since she was
little.”
Joshua felt a pang in his heart as he gazed at Melora. Although he and his wife had a daughter, she
was not their biological child but adopted. Had I not valued my pride so much all those years ago to the
point that it caused my girlfriend at the time to leave in disappointment, would I also have a biological
child today? Perhaps I’d have a daughter as sweet and lively as Melora.
“Melora is a darling,” he uttered quietly despite the sadness filling his heart. After saying that, he even
patted Melora’s head.
She blinked her innocent eyes, puzzled.
Worried that his friend would feel miserable, David quickly turned the conversation to other. topics, and
the atmosphere lightened again. However, as they were chatting happily, David noticed that his son
was in low spirits and looked indifferent.
He gave a small sigh.
The welcome dinner went on until the wee hours of the morning.
Julia had instructed the housekeepers to prepare the guest room, but Joshua insisted on staying at a
hotel. Unable to dissuade him, she and her husband had no choice but to relent and arrange for a
driver to send him back to the hotel.
Without all the hustle and bustle, the spacious dining room looked quiet and empty under the light
refracted from the chandelier. All that was left were the housekeepers tidying up the mess and the
gentle clinking of glasses and plates.
Henry was about to return to his room to rest when David called out to him, “I need to talk to you.”
Henry fixed his father with a penetrating gaze.
David headed up the stairs, and as he brushed past Henry, he said in a low voice, “Let’s talk in the
study.”
Moments later, both father and son were in the study.
After closing the door, Henry prepared a hangover remedy for David. He asked calmly, “What is it that
you have to tell me even at such a late hour, Dad?”
David took the glass but did not drink. His expression was solemn as he said, “You didn’t seem excited
to see Joshua here today.”
Taking out a cigarette, Henry lowered his head and lit it. A thin veil of smoke rose into the air, blurring
both men’s faces. With a faint smile, he replied, “That’s absurd. It’s probably just because I’ve been too
tired lately.”
No one knew Henry better than his own father. Hence, those words could not conceal the truth from
David.
After pondering for a moment, he said slowly, “Henry, I don’t care about your past with that girl from the
Quinn family. All I ask is that you youngsters had better not stir up trouble and affect my friendship with
Joshua.”
Henry took a deep drag on his cigarette, then stubbed it out in a brown ashtray. Standing up. he smiled
faintly and said, “I’ll be going, then.”
