Chapter 326


    During dinner, everyone indulged in delectable dishes and savored the Lafite wine from


    Wyatt’s collection, carefully curated for over a decade. The ambiance retained its harmonious tone, just


    as it had before.


    In reality, for the two tycoons, this meal served as a nostalgic gathering, reminiscent of times over two


    decades ago. The significant changey in the addition of children, adding to the joyful scene under


    their roofs.


    Lance had a specific purpose in mind this time-finding suitable wives for his two unmarried sons.


    Throughout the banquet, Charles upied the seat directly across from Be, while Christopher sat


    beside her.


    The dining table was wide, so the one sitting beside Be was closer to her as opposed to someone


    sitting across from her.


    Charles observed with a sense of helplessness as his younger brother attended to Be with the


    utmost care and attention. Dark mes flickered in his eyes, and the fork in his hand was nearly


    deformed.


    ‘What a bad start! This little bastard took advantage of the ideal circumstances. He’s at the right ce


    at the right time, with the right people!’


    Christopher, having learned from their previous encounter, knew Be’s fondness for seafood,


    especially crabs and shrimp-a delicacy she couldn’t resist.


    So, throughout the banquet, Christopher barely touched his te. Instead, he patiently peeled the


    shrimp for Be. He continuously offered the sulent morsels to her, while everyone discreetly


    observed their interactions.


    Be reveled in the feast, showing no restraint in front of her family, and enthusiastically devoured her


    food. Christopher’s longshes were downcast, a smile gracing his lips. His slender, fair fingers


    expertly peeled open shrimp shells and delicately ced the plump, deshelled shrimp onto Be’s


    te.


    For a man from a wealthy family, such actions might be considered beneath his stature. However,


    Christopher appeared wholly engrossed, oblivious to onlookers, and savoring every


    moment.


    Be disyed no signs of embarrassment, nor did she decline his offer. Instead, she graciously


    epted each delectable offering, appreciating everything he did for her.


    If it were just the two of them, she would undoubtedly reject him. However, with Lance present, the


    dynamics changed. Given this golden opportunity to expose his vulnerabilities, she couldn’t let it slip


    away.


    As Christopher peeled each shrimp, meticulously wiping his fingers with a tissue after each one,


    Charles couldn’t help but sneer. He knew his younger brother had a cleanliness obsession. He wouldn’t


    even wear the same piece of clothing twice. Yet, for Be, he willingly broke his own rules. It seemed


    Christopher had decided to go all-in topete with him.


    “My girl is bing more and more outrageous. You must excuse her behavior, Lance.” Wyatt was


    somewhat embarrassed by Be’s behavior.


    “Oh, Wyatt, don’t say that. We’re all family here, so there’s no need to feel embarrassed. Be’s


    genuine nature is just like yours when you were young. I like it. I wish I could carry her back home rightContent protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.


    now in a grand procession and make her my daughter-inw! Hahaha!” Lance, after holding back all


    evening, finally revealed the purpose of his visit.


    Wyatt merely smiled in agreement, not delving further into that particr topic.


    On this side, Be finally felt satisfied. She covered her small mouth as she let out a burp. Christopher


    turned his head. His deep gaze focused on her, tenderness swirling in his eyes.


    “Wipe your hands,” Christopher said as he pulled out a tissue and handed it to her from under the


    table.


    “Um, thanks.” Be smiled, gracefully dabbing her lips.


    “Be seems to have a hearty appetite tonight,” Charles said with a gentle smile.


    “Oh, I’m sorry. The dishes at home are just too delicious. I couldn’t resist…” Be began.


    “No, no, Be, you misunderstood me. I don’t mean it as an insult. I just think that you’re different from


    the other wealthy youngdies I’ve encountered,” Charles said warmly.


    Charles leaned forward and said sincerely, “I appreciate your genuine nature. I find you adorable and


    real.”


    ‘Hmm, being real just because of a meal. Hasn’t he met any women who eat regr food?’ Be


    thought to herself, but she politely responded, “Thank you for thepliment, Mr. Charles.”


    “I noticed you haven’t had much to drink. You must be thirsty. Have some red wine,” Charles


    suggested, smiling as he stood up, intending to pour wine for Be.


    Unexpectedly, at that moment, Christopher interjected with a cool tone and a mocking smile. ” Seafood


    should be paired with white wine. How can you suggest red wine? Charles, it seems you have been


    living with your head in the clouds, unaware of even suchmon knowledge.”
