Chapter 287: 287: For Her, You Would Do Anything?
Vivian Ferguson felt her son’s words were too cold and heartless, while Baxter Walker thought he was too dismissive. Even if he had said this behind their backs, they wouldn’t have minded. But now, it felt like a public slap on their faces, making it difficult for them to lift their heads.
When had their prominent Walker family ever suffered such humiliation?
Camila Walker clenched her chopsticks in anger but held back her words due to the presence of the older generations.
“Baron Stuart, what’s gotten into you? With so many people present, how can you leave first?” Vivian Ferguson couldn’t help speaking up, angry at her son’s disregard for their feelings.
She knew her son could be indifferent towards others at times, but with so many people present, couldn’t he at least cooperate a little?
Baron Stuart showed no signs of remorse, stopped in his tracks, and looked at his mother, “Didn’t you say it was just a simple dinner?”
Vivian Ferguson paused. Indeed, it was supposed to be a simple dinner. But they had just started eating, how could he leave so early?
At this moment, Angela Reid also stood up and smiled, “If Baron Stuart has something to do, go ahead and be busy. We can eat anytime.”
If it wasn’t for their daughter’s happiness, how could the Walkers tolerate such treatment?
Usually gentle Angela Reid couldn’t help feeling a little emotional today.
“Today is the weekend, what could he possibly have to do!” At this moment, Zachary Stuart slammed the table and stood up, furious for the first time.
He knew his grandson had always been arrogant and never cared about others. But now, he was getting more and more presumptuous, completely disregarding his own grandfather!
A simple family dinner turned into a complete face-off.
Zachary Stuart stood up, his hawk-like pupils staring straight at Baron Stuart, anger clear on his face, “Do you think I’m old now? Do you think you can do whatever you want now?”
Baron Stuart looked up, unaffected by his anger. His always indifferent expression remained unchanged, revealing no emotions, “Grandpa, I never thought you were old. I just don’t want to follow the path you’ve laid out for me anymore.
Eight years ago, it was like that, and now, eight years later, I won’t let you disrupt my life again, even at any cost.”
Baron Stuart spoke decisively and immediately turned to leave.
“You stop right there!” Zachary Stuart yelled, seeing his retreating figure.
Baron Stuart stopped in his tracks, stayed silent for a moment but didn’t turn around, only standing still where he was.
After a long stare, Zachary Stuart’s face looked somewhat calmer, but it was evident that he was still very angry, “Are you still blaming me for stopping you and that little girl eight years ago?”
Hearing this, Baron Stuart turned around, looked up at Zachary Stuart, and spoke calmly, “No. It’s just that your stopping me back then made me realize some things are very important to me.”
“The so-called important thing is that girl?” Zachary Stuart exhaled heavily and then spoke sharply, “What’s so good about that girl? What can she bring you!?”
Baron Stuart fell silent for a long time before speaking slowly, his tone flat and without any waves, “What Grandpa can’t give me, she can.”
Zachary Stuart was taken aback, unable to comprehend this statement completely.
