Love Comes To Me
Chapter 867: Sorry, can't help

The atmosphere at the table became a little awkward in this overly direct purpose. When Clemon saw this, she became a little upset.

But she did not dare to show it, but said with a smile, "Your brother and you are not the same, ask you the same, we are all family is not it, this family, we must help each other right?" Silvia was resigned to having such a great opportunity snatched away from her by Clemon.

As soon as Clemon finished speaking, she eagerly took over, "Yes, family unity is the most important thing, it's just a project, Hector, why don't you just help your second uncle?" The two women sang in unison, completely ignoring Master Khan whose face was gradually sinking.

Farabee and Devona also completely ignored Master Khan, still waiting with expectant eyes for Hector's answer.

"I'm sorry, I've only been back in the country for a short time and I don't know enough about the affairs of my company at home to help." Hector said, still politely, for Eloise's sake. "How can you not help when the Rogers Group is at least part of you?"

"Yeah, Hector..."

Without waiting for the two aunts to finish their words, Master Khan slammed the bowl and chopsticks in his hands onto the table.

A loud bang startled the two men into silence.

It was only then that several other people noticed the extremely ugly face of Master Khan.

"Dad... what's wrong with you?"

Clemon very much had no eyesight to come up for a scolding.

Master Khan raised his eyebrows, changed his amiable face and glared coldly at his two sons.

A good day of bonding with her granddaughter was spoiled by these uninvited people.

"You have the nerve to ask me what's wrong?"

Master Khan asked back in a deep voice, more hatred than steel on his face, "How long do you plan to talk before enough is enough? If you don't want to eat, get out! Don't discuss business at the dinner table!" When Elder Fang became angry, everyone present did not dare to squeak.

Even Clemon, who had always acted spiritedly, was shocked and settled down in a rare moment.

The atmosphere suddenly froze.

In the end, it was Arlice who broke the deadlock.

He poured himself a glass of wine and then raised his glass to Eloise, and with an apologetic smile on his face he said, "Cousin, I have been feeling guilty about something I said yesterday that went too far. I would like to take this opportunity to apologise, and I hope you will not take it personally."

After what he had just seen, Arlice could see how much Hector cared for and favoured Eloise.

Again, he picked the fish spines for her and took the dishes she couldn't get.

It's all about the doting wife.

If you can please Eloise, isn't that the same as winning Hector's favour?

That's where Goode and Fang Yanqin are inferior to him.

Those two only lowered their heads and dared not speak while Master Khan was fuming.

Eloise didn't expect Arlice to come up with such a sudden move.

Once she had eased up from her initial daze, she smiled slightly.

"You're welcome."

The attitude remains muted, giving rise to a sense of, well, a punch on the cotton, of powerlessness. Eloise already had no good feelings towards these two families, let alone taking Arlice's words to heart.

Arlice didn't care about Eloise's cold and aloof attitude.

After finishing that drink in one gulp, another one was poured towards Hector.

"Mr Hector, I hope you don't take offence at how much I offended you yesterday." Hector glanced at this with indifference.

They look unconcerned, but in reality they don't give them a second thought.

When Goode saw Arlice doing such a proper job, he was immediately anxious, "Cousin, I... would like to toast you." Goode thought about it, he didn't offend Eloise yesterday.

But he didn't want to let Arlice take all the limelight, so he could only squeeze out this sentence in a dry manner. There were a few seconds of extremely eerie silence at the table.

"Well, thanks."

In the end, Eloise smiled and raised her glass to Goode and took a sip of her juice.

Devona and Silvia stared at this foolish son of theirs with one eye.

Inwardly, he cursed him for being stupid.

Fang also laughed inwardly.

Then, without moving, he took out two long-prepared red packets from his pocket, got up and handed them to Solomon and Sweety respectively.

"I didn't have time to prepare last night, so this is a token of appreciation for the children."

Solomon and Sweety both gave Arlice a look without saying anything, let alone reaching out for it.

Eloise took one look and declined with a frown, "Thanks, but no."

Elder Fang glanced lightly at Arlice and spoke slowly, "Take it, it's rare that he can still think of this."

Hearing that Elder Fang had spoken up for himself, Arlice's eyes lit up slightly.

Eloise turned her head sideways and used her eyes to ask for Hector's opinion.

The latter gave her a slight nod of agreement.

Consider this a favour to the old man!

Seeing this, Eloise had to accept the red packet first in place of the two little ones.

Arlice was overwhelmed with joy as he slowly sat down again.

What does it mean when all the red envelopes are received?

The delegates could have been further in touch!

When Arlice sat down, no one talked about work either.

And the Devona family was utterly dumbfounded.

Apologies can be learnt, but how could they have ever imagined that Arlice would be so shrewd as to come up with such a sudden move?

Goode and Fang Yanqin simply came empty-handed.

This is a great way to be compared.

Goode clenched his teeth in hatred and secretly glared at Arlice a few times.

The latter took in all of Goode's little gestures.

He didn't care, however, and was a little smug in his mind instead.

Devona and Silvia only felt embarrassed.

They said they were family, but Arlice's stunt made them seem more and more insincere.

With this comparison, the Devona family fell silent.

Farabee was also afraid of upsetting the goodwill her son had managed to build up, so she too remained silent.

A lunch, and a bizarre end to it.

The family sat in front of the sofa in the living room without anyone speaking first.

That is, until Solomon and Sweety both started to doze off.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Hector took Eloise and spoke to the other grandfather, "Grandpa, we are much disturbed here, I am going to take Eloise home first and see you again when I have time." When Farabee and Devona heard this, they were instantly shocked.

How does this work?

They haven't even achieved their goal yet!

So without waiting for Master Khan to speak, he took the lead, "Hector, Eloise! Wait ..."

Farabee walked up to the family with a big smile on her face, "Eloise has just returned, why don't you stay a few more days and catch up?"

"Yes, and I was planning to pick out meet and greet gifts for the two kids."

Devona squeezed Farabee aside as soon as he could and spoke with a smile.

Master Khan swept a glance at his two sons.

He knows in his heart that Hector is a quiet person and does not like such noisy situations.
