Old Mr. Quintin furrowed his brows in thought before finally speaking up, “Estelle, I guess I didn’t think this through. You’re right, I was too hasty. I might end up doing more harm than good.”

Estelle replied, “Evelyn is still young, and if things get serious, you’ll have plenty of time to dote on her. There’s no need to rush.”

Old Mr. Quintin nodded in agreement, “Alright, I’ll take your advice. I won’t bring up her and Gabriel’s situation anymore.”

Just as Estelle was about to respond, she noticed a shadow flit past the doorway. Soon after, the door swung open and Evelyn stood there, holding a cup of tea, and said with a smile, “Estelle, I made it in the kitchen. I brought some for you.”

“Thanks, Evelyn,” Estelle stood up to take the steaming cup.

“This is for you, grandpa,” Evelyn set down the tea she had prepared for Old Mr. Quintin and added with a grin, “You two chat. I’m going to check on Sophia.”

With that, Evelyn turned and left.

Once outside the study, Evelyn’s expression darkened. She glanced back at the firmly shut door, pursed her lips, and walked away.

Inside the study, Old Mr. Quintin took a sip of his tea and said slowly, “Let’s not mention Evelyn for now, but keep an eye on that Sylvia.”

“Sylvia’s a good girl, not at all what you’re thinking.” Estelle chuckled. “And her relationship with my brother is quite complicated.”
