Chapter 503: The New Rule of the Lyon Family—No Leftovers

The Lyon family hurried into the disinfection room for a shower and change of clothes, with only Connor's howls continuing incessantly. Their brother and cousins watched silently, waiting until they emerged. Seeing that Warren had genuinely returned to normal, they then entered the disinfection room themselves. They certainly didn't want to endure such an ordeal-it was just a matter of taking a bath and changing clothes, after all.

Before entering the disinfection room, Oliver's daughter Stephanie smiled warmly at Jared. "Brother, wait for me, let's catch up properly later." Jared's expression finally eased a bit, and he nodded silently at her. Tina wasn't surprised; on the way there, Jared had mentioned that Stephanie was the only one still in contact with Marie. Mainly because their relationship had grown closer when they attended school in Ashbury. Stephanie, always fond of following Jared, had admired him since they were children. When Sophia was born, Stephanie had even sent a gift-a small gold bracelet.

Stephanie was the only relative Jared acknowledged in the Lyon family. After everyone else had come out, Sonia also went in to disinfect and shower. Throughout, she had not expressed any opinion.

Finally, all members of the Lyon family gathered. Stephanie immediately hugged Jared. "Brother, it's been so long, I've missed you terribly. You never reply to my messages."

"I've been busy," Jared said, subtly distancing himself from Stephanie while giving Tina a look that seemed full of explanations.

Tina raised an eyebrow but said nothing.

"I thought you'd arrive tomorrow. Had I known, I would have come back tonight to dine with you," Stephanie said cheerily, clearly the happiest person in the Lyon family. Jared raised an eyebrow. "We were waiting for you all to come back for dinner."

Stephanie looked at Grandma Lyon and sighed helplessly. The grandmother had resorted to her old tricks again, with no new schemes at all.

Warren cleared his throat, making sure he could speak, then said, "We've already eaten outside. The Lyon family doesn't have a custom of serving late-night snacks. Jared, you two can just eat together tomorrow." His wife Megan added, "Yes, it's so late already. Mom, let me help you back to rest."

Grandma Lyon stood up, going along with the suggestion. "Hmm, let's go back. Jared, your rooms are under the staircase on the first floor. You've been on a plane all day; get some sleep early. The rest of you, go back to your rooms too." Stephanie frowned at Grandma Lyon's deliberate provocation. "Grandma, that's where the maids live. How can you let my brother stay there?"

Before Grandma Lyon could respond, Connor intervened sharply, "Then why don't you give your room to your dear brother, Miss Busybody?"

"Connor, nobody would think you're mute if you didn't speak," Stephanie retorted coldly.

"Enough, you two kids, why are you arguing here? Don't you know Grandma needs to sleep? Hurry back," Warren scolded, about to head upstairs.
