Chapter 1544: Butler Jen's wish

There was only one reason why the Bennet family had gathered today: Slater's

"farewell" party.

It wasn't like Slater was moving abroad or anything. In fact, he was just heading back to his condo - barely an hour away. But since Slater was dramatic and often claimed to be the main character of this story, Allison had prepared a feast.

This dinner was technically in his honor... yet the man was running late. So, the family settled on appetizers while waiting.

"Atlas, where's Hugo?" Charles asked, wiping his mouth and giving his eldest son a stern look. "Haven't seen him in a while."

"Hugo's busy," Atlas replied nonchalantly. "Your second son might act silly, but he is a lieutenant general."

"There's probably a lot going on," Allison added, nodding. "But I'm sure he'll make it up to Slater when he has time. Besides, it's better for him to stay busy."

After all, ever since Hugo returned home, if he wasn't working, he was... well, everywhere—like a restless stray.

"Anyway, Slater's taking his sweet time," Allison muttered, snapping her eyes toward Butler Jen. "Butler Jen, did you hear from him?"

Butler Jen, standing politely to the side, smiled. "The Third Young Master and his company are on their way."

"He's bringing friends?" Allison blinked.

Charles cut in, frowning. "He has friends?"

"If I recall correctly, the Third Young Master is with Sir James, Sir Benjamin, and Sir Allen," said Butler Jen.

Atlas arched a brow. "Allen, huh?"

A strange silence fell over the room. Everyone turned to look at Atlas. For a brief moment, the air around him felt warm too warm.

Then, Butler Jen's phone buzzed in his pocket. After checking the screen, he looked back at the family and smiled. "They've arrived. I'll go welcome them."

He bowed slightly and walked out.
