Ambrose was feeling extremely irritated at the moment, with a deep sense of resentment.


    ric was clearly being deliberate, but what surprised him the most was Sten. She seemed indifferent to the past events involving Storm''s Family and now was so in love with ric! Impossible!


    Sten had only known ric for a short time, whereas she had been with Ambrose for so many years before.


    It couldn''t be true. Sten must be intentionally trying to provoke him!


    His Sten couldn''t have changed her heart!


    Gtea was now regretting her past blindness. She had loved Ambrose to the point of obsession before but now realized he wasn''t worth it.


    Fortunately, her rtionship with Ambrose hade to a definitive end; there would be no possibility of any future connection. Since she was now with ric, she would devote herself wholeheartedly to him. Gtea had put a lot of effort into preparing a loving lunch for ric, filled with all his favorite dishes.


    "Do you make all of this?" At lunchtime, ric arrived at the dining room and was genuinely surprised to see the table full of food.


    "Yes, try it and see if it suits your taste?" Gtea smiled tenderly.


    "I''m not a pig. Why did you make so much?" ric teased.


    "Just wanted to pamper you a bit, ended up making too much by ident." Gtea chuckled.


    "Caspian told me to be frugal, and it''s a waste to have so many dishes that we can''t finish." ric suddenly remembered Caspian''s advice.


    "Mr. Knight Junior saying such things really reflects the good upbringing he''s received from you." Gtea remarked. "I did make a bit too much this time, and it''s wasteful. I''ll be more careful next time."


    ric couldn''t help but smile and then sat down at the table with Gtea.


    "When you mentioned Caspian earlier, when do you n to introduce me to him?" Halfway through the meal, Gtea looked at ric and asked.


    "Caspian is currently injured and confined to bed rest, with Mrs. Marigold by his side."


    ric had already called the mansion, and the staff confirmed that Mrs. Marigold was with Caspian, showering him with affection.


    ric understood Mrs. Marigold''s intentions. Despite her stern demeanor, she doted excessively on the Knight family''s children, confirming that Caspian was indeed a number of the Knight family and thus subject to her indulgence. What puzzled him was that Mrs. Marigold had previously doubted Caspian''s lineage.


    "Caspian is injured. How did it happen?" Gtea was surprised to hear this and quickly inquired.


    "He slipped in the bathroom and fell, resulting in a fracture."


    "A fall causing a fracture?" Gtea found it unbelievable. "Usually, such incidents happen to elderly people, not to a young child like Caspian, who has had good nutrition since childhood. How could he fracture a bone from a simple fall?"


    "I don''t know the details of how Caspian fell. Despite his young age, he''s quite proud and won''t disclose the specifics."


    "Isn''t that just like you?"


    ric smiledwryly. "Yes, he takes after me."


    "Caspian is injured. Should I go see him?" Gtea asked anxiously, genuinely concerned about Caspian''s condition.


    "Let''s wait until Caspian is better before visiting. Mrs. Marigold is there, after all." ric pondered for a moment, replying.


    ric hadn''t informed Mrs. Marigold about his intention to marry Gtea yet. Regardless of Mrs. Marigold''s approval or not, he was determined to go through with it.


    However, considering Mrs. Marigold was his mother, he felt it necessary to inform her in advance about such a significant decision. He was concerned that abruptly bringing Gtea to the Knight family might strain the rtionship between Gtea and Mrs. Marigold.


    "Alright, that was my oversight."


    Gtea had been fearless in her interactions with Mrs. Marigold before, but now she was genuinely nervous.


    "ric, they say Mrs. Marigold is very strict and has high expectations for your wife. Given the current situation, she might strongly oppose our rtionship, right?"


    After asking this, Gtea''s anxiety grew even more. If Mrs. Marigold strongly objected, it wouldn''t bode well.


    "Don''t worry, I''ll convince Mrs. Marigold. Even if I can''t persuade her, I decide to find a wife, not hers. No one can interfere, even my mother."


    "While that''s true, marriages without parental blessings are iplete. Besides, you mentioned that Mrs. Marigold is quite authoritative. If you confront her like this, she might cut ties with you. If my presence affects your rtionship with Mrs. Marigold, I''ll be a sinner." Gtea expressed her concerns.


    "Why carry such a burden? These are not your concerns. Leave everything to me, and I''ll handle it." ric reassured her, holding Gtea''s hand andforting her. "Trust me."


    Those words provided Gtea with a great sense of security, instantly calming her nerves.


    "Alright." Gtea smiled and then said, "I''ll start your treatment now. Arrange your work first. Normally, this kind of treatment would require hospitalization, but considering your workload and my avability, I''ll treat you at the office. You must cooperate well."


    "Don''t worry, I''ll cooperate well."


    "There''s one thing I need to mention beforehand. The treatment won''t be easy, even though I''ve minimized the side effects of the medication." Gtea cautioned.


    ric chuckled and said, "I''m not a three-year-old child. You don''t have to be so cautious. I could bear the pain of this treatment."


    "I know you''re tough." Gtea said. "I''ll go home now to prepare and gather the necessary treatment tools."


    "Alright, I''ll also go home first to see Caspian."


    "Okay, please give my regards to Caspian."


    After finishing their meal, Gtea and ric went their ways. ric returned to the Knight family vi, expecting to find Harry receiving treatment in considerable pain.
