Chapter 3400
The elderly lady smiled and replied, “Of course, of course.”
“Master, I’m going to ignore you for now. I’m going out for a walk. Serenity, Camryn, Elisa, would you like to join me?”
Bianca stood up and addressed Serenity and the others.
The three of them rose to their feet. As the guest, Bianca was accompanied by Elisa, the host, on her walk.
Consequently, the four of them slipped out together.
Sonny wanted to follow Serenity but remembered that he needed to stay with his great-grandfather, so he could only watch her leave.
Fortunately, Uncle Zachary was present.
As long as Uncle Zachary was around, Aunt Serenity would return.
The other young masters of the York family lingered for a while before departing, as they had other obligations to attend to.
The primary reason was that they were all still single and feared the elders’ conversations about their status.
Leland, the second young master of the Stone Family, also found a reason to leave.
Leland was the only one remaining single, and not only were his parents watching him closely, but even his siblings had begun to express concern about his future.
“Evan, don’t go just yet.”
The elderly lady called out to Evan.
Evan, who had already stood up and was about to exit, asked in confusion, “Grandma, is there something else?”
He assumed he didn’t need to escort Grandma back.
After all, he had Zachary and Serenity with him.
Grandma intended to invite the elders as guests, which meant she needed to return to Wildridge Manor. The following day, the brothers would go back to assist in entertaining the elders.
Grandma May said, “Bianca just arrived in
Evan had just learned that Miss Bianca had arrived in Wiltspoon a few days ago. She was unfamiliar with the area and lacked transportation. His grandmother suggested that he take her to their hotel later, assist her with checking in, and cover the cost of her stay for a few days.
Suddenly, Evan became alert, fearing that his grandmother was up to her matchmaking antics again. With so many people around, why was he the one expected to see Miss Bianca off? Surely, others could step in to help.
“Grandma, I have something urgent to attend to right now and can’t wait,” Evan quickly devised an excuse.
“You could ask River or Alex to help,” his grandmother suggested.
However, River and Alex had already slipped away, stepping on a watermelon rind in their haste.
“River, Alex, and Leland have all left. I can only rely on you to see her off. Is there something truly urgent you need to handle? If so, ask River or Alex for assistance. You can wait here, and when Bianca returns from her walk, you can escort her to the hotel,” she insisted.
Evan glanced at Clive and remarked, “Mr. Stone, Miss Bianca is your esteemed guest.” His point was clear: arranging accommodations for Bianca was the business’s responsibility, and his grandmother should not interfere.
Everyone present was perceptive enough to understand the implications of his words. Clive responded, “We have no available rooms at home, so Miss Bianca will have to stay in a hotel. The best option in Wiltspoon is your York family’s Wiltspoon Hotel, so let’s arrange for her to stay there.”
“Grandma York,” Clive addressed the elderly lady, “I will cover the cost of Miss Bianca’s room. You need not worry about the payment. I just ask that you assist her in getting there later. I’ll take care of the transportation costs; I wouldn’t want you to work for free.”
Evan interjected, “…I don’t need that small amount of money.”
He understood his grandmother’s motivation. With Abby gone, was she trying to match him up with Bianca?
He didn’t know Bianca’s last name, her origins, or her family situation. He suspected that his grandmother had simply taken a liking to her.
Bianca trained under Senior Ezequiel, also known as Silver Fox.
