The old man saw that the act couldn’t go on, so he put on a stern face and said, "Then who are you planning to marry? That little girl Delphine? She’s not suitable; her background is too complicated. Even Yunji has been driven out of the Cloud Family. If you marry her, it would clearly mean breaking ties with the Cloud Family. Count for yourself, how many enemies have you made for the Leclair Family."
"Do you still want to hold your great-grandchild or not?" Ignatius Leclair smiled slightly, his cold and handsome face appeared much softer in front of the old man. He asked the butler to make a pot of tea for the old man so the little old man wouldn’t feel wronged.
The balance in the old master’s heart was constantly swaying. If this grandson could be easily persuaded, he wouldn’t be nearly thirty and still single.
The old man sighed and said solemnly, "Amu, you will inherit the massive wealth of the Leclair Family in the future, so your marriage is not just a personal affair but a major family event. The best choice for a family head’s wife is someone from a prestigious family. Even if we don’t value family background, the other party should be tactful and adept at handling the complex and chaotic relationships within the aristocratic circles. Delphine, be it her background or her personality, is not suitable to be the family head’s wife. I have no objection to you keeping her by your side, but if you marry her, do you know how exhausting it will be, both internally and externally? I do not agree."
That’s the reason why the old man has always disagreed. That girl has experienced too much hardship and is so cold and taciturn, she seems like someone who prefers solitude. How could such a person become the family head’s wife of a top family?
"Grandfather, Delphine’s personality is indeed a bit reclusive, and that’s because of me. However, she is extremely intelligent, and handling these matters is not difficult for her. Besides, the wife of the Leclair Family doesn’t go out to look at others’ expressions but to give others theirs. If it’s about being sophisticated, I can hire a dozen assistants for that," Ignatius Leclair said indifferently.
Ignatius Leclair’s gaze flickered slightly, as he was still hiding Delphine’s severe depression. But she acted so well, handling these interpersonal relationships seemed trivial. What worried him most was that Delphine might be too lazy to bother with such matters. Now that she’s found her biological father, if father and daughter decide to sail away together, where would he find them in the vast sea?
This was his biggest concern, and for this reason, Mr. Leclair had no choice but to invite Richard Shaw over from the Imperial City. As long as Old Shaw saw Leah, the Squire siblings would have no place to run. Delphine wouldn’t be able to leave cleanly either.
The old man, seeing he couldn’t talk him around, pushed him away in anger and said impatiently, "You’re right, you’re always right. Thirty and still single, go out, get out; I need to rest."
Ignatius Leclair was somewhat helplessly driven out of the ward. He sat on the sofa outside, waiting for the butler to quietly come out and say that the old man was asleep before he got up to handle the scandalous assault incident.
The man went up to the third floor to visit Melody Cloud.
Melody Cloud was wearing the hospital gown, her face pale and thin, talking to Sylvester Cloud. When she saw him, her eyes immediately welled up with tears, and she choked, "Senior, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it. My parents insisted on suing Delphine, though I don’t want it myself, even if Delphine did that to me."
After speaking, Melody Cloud’s big eyes were filled with post-catastrophe fright, and her body trembled lightly as she clutched the bedsheet.
Ignatius Leclair slightly pressed his thin lips, soothing deeply, "You are also a victim in this matter. Have you been feeling better these past two days?"
A hint of surprise flashed across Melody Cloud’s face, and she nodded weakly, saying, "I still can’t sleep well, have nightmares, and sometimes auditory hallucinations. Brother Shenmu, can you stay with me for a while? If you’re here, I will feel more at ease."
