Grandpa Sinclair arrived about half an hour later than the couple.

When the elderly man entered, his coat was covered in snow and wind.

Nora Northwood observed carefully, "Grandpa, is it snowing outside? How about we take your coat to dry it off?"

The server at the door caught on to Nora Northwood’s suggestion and imdiately stepped forward to take the coat from the elderly man’s hands, "Drying it won’t take long, please enjoy your al, you can trust with the coat."

The private room had no windows, so Nora Northwood was not entirely sure if it was really snowing outside.

The next mont, Grandpa Sinclair responded, "There was light snow on the way; it’s likely the last snow of this winter."

"Stanton City had more snow this year than previous years."

"Once this snow passes, the horticultural project can comnce."

Grandpa Sinclair took the opportunity to introduce the discussion of the cooperative horticultural project.

In so sense, they were family, but at this mont, they were discussing business matters over dinner.

Nora Northwood found it strange no matter how she pondered it!

Jasper Sinclair leaned back in his chair casually, noticing Nora Northwood’s discomfort, he spoke up, "Today is for reminiscing, we can talk about work another day."

With a few understated words, he set the the of the al.

Then, he asked Grandpa Sinclair, "Is your return to Stanton City just for the project?"

Between Grandpa Sinclair’s brows was no longer the exuberance of the past, the traces of ti were more evident.

He adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, "The project is just one part, this ti, I don’t plan to leave again."

From his tone, Nora Northwood felt an unprecedented sense of weariness.

The elderly man continued, "I have devoted most of my life to my career, the remaining ti shall be for family... I heard Nora is pregnant?"

Nora Northwood was abruptly called upon, and she imdiately straightened her back.

"Yes, Grandpa, just turned five months today."

The grandfather and granddaughter-in-law were not eting for the first ti, Grandpa Sinclair had seen Nora Northwood’s smart and capable side, but had yet seen her as a "family mber."

As of now, the elderly man was quite satisfied with this granddaughter-in-law.

"Is your body feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

"Thank you for your concern, Grandpa, no discomfort, just tend to sleep more than usual."

Grandpa Sinclair expressed his concern for Nora Northwood’s health, overall, the atmosphere was rather harmonious.

Until Jasper Sinclair asked, "Does Grandma know you’re back this ti?"

"I landed just yesterday, haven’t had the chance to return to the old house yet, planning to finish this project before going back."

"It’ll be New Year’s Eve in a few days; if you don’t finish the project before then, are you not planning to return to the old house?"

Jasper Sinclair’s questions were sharp, his tone wasn’t exactly pleasant, aside from his expression being calm and undisturbed, there was truly no sign of respect for the elderly.

Grandpa Sinclair was not angered by this; evidently, he was aware his actions had been excessive.

The elderly man fell silent for a mont, and the private room beca quiet.

On one side a husband, on the other a grandfather she had never t, Nora Northwood felt caught in the middle, deeply troubled.

At this point, she could only take on the peace-maker role, "Grandpa, New Year’s Eve only cos once a year, if you could go back to the old house and spend the evening with Grandma, she would definitely be very happy."

"I will go back."

Grandpa Sinclair threw out a few words, the truth of which was unknown.
