The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 601 Getting Sheldon Drunk

Wesley hadn't been back at Holden Residence for long, and he hadn't spent much time with Sheldon yet. However, he could already tell that Sheldon wasn't quite the same as the one he remembered.

At first, Wesley thought it was just because he had been away for too long, making his perception feel off. After all, people changed, especially when they hadn't seen each other in years.

After hearing Laura's thoughts, Wesley took a moment to carefully recall all the little changes Sheldon had shown since he returned to the Holden family.

"Laura, you're right," Wesley said. "Sheldon is acting a bit off, but he means no harm. He's been good to Marcus and Natalie, and I don't believe he would betray the Holden family or any of us."

Laura nodded. After returning to Holden Residence, Sheldon had taken excellent care of her. He even went out of his way to ensure she felt comfortable and at ease. He would often engage in heart-to-heart conversations with her, as though worried she wouldn't adapt.

"I'll have the kitchen prepare some dishes. I plan to have a few drinks with Sheldon," Wesley said, pulling Laura with him as he turned around. "Tell Marcus to join us."

"Alright," Laura replied, nodding before heading downstairs to find Marcus and Natalie.

"Marcus, Nat," she called out when she saw them.

Marcus and Natalie turned around. "Mom?"

"Marcus, your father asked for the kitchen to prepare some food. He wants to have a drink with Sheldon, who has been working hard these days. You should join them as well," Laura said, pulling Natalie aside.

"Nat won't be drinking, though. You're a girl and should rest early tonight. I've picked out a few shops for you to check, can you help me look at them?"

"Sure!" Natalie agreed without hesitation. Wesley wouldn't call Sheldon for a drink out of nowhere, let alone insist Marcus join in. It was obvious he was trying to keep her out of the conversation.

Natalie didn't point it out and simply nodded, leaving with Laura.

Marcus looked up toward the second floor. Wesley stood there, giving him a slight nod.

Marcus returned the gesture, and the two of them silently acknowledged each other's unspoken agreement.
