Chapter 765 I Can Only Put Up a Show

Neil nodded at Kenny and told Scott, I’m sorry, Scott. I was busy today. Congratulations on your promotion.”

Scott stood up and held out an empty wine glass to pour wine for Neil. “Thank you. I’m glad you could make it.”

Neil accepted the glass from Scott. “As usual, I have three glasses of wine.

After Neil downed three glasses of wine, Kenny cheered excitedly.

Caroline also became a bit tipsy after having some wine. Her face turned beet red.

She joined Paige and Kenny, and they reminisced about their past in Spania.

Seeing this, Neil glanced at Scott and said, “Scott”

“Yeah?” Scott turned and asked, “What’s on your mind, Neil?”

Neil took a sip of wine, pondered briefly, and asked, “Have you been very busy lately?”

Calmly, Scott replied, “Why do you ask?”

Staring closely at Scott, Neil said, “No, I’m just making small talk. Have you been busy at the hospital, or have any patients requested house calls?”

Scott’s gaze became subtly intense. “Only occasionally.”

Hearing that, Neil looked away. “Really? I thought you were tied up with other matters.”

Suddenly, Scott burst into laughter. “I’m swamped with hospital work. I don’t have time for anything else.”

“Yeah, that’s good,” Neil replied indifferently.

Scott raised his wine glass and took a sip. Scott’s lowered gaze held a deep, mysterious meaning.

At that moment, Caroline’s phone suddenly rang on the table. She picked it up and saw a text from Evan,

so she unlocked her phone.

Evan: [I’ve brought Tyler and Axel to Jordan Residence. I’ll contact you later.]

The text startled Caroling, and she quickly responded,

Caroline: You must take good care of them.]

Evan: [Of course, don’t worry.]

Evan led Axel and Tyler into Jordan Residence.

Draco, who had been informed in advance, instructed Bernard to welcome them.

When the three of them reached the living room, Draco beamed when he saw Axel.

“You’re back, my dear grandson!” Draco greeted Axel. But when he saw Tyler, he asked. “Why did you

bring him, too?”

Although Tyler wasn’t Evan’s child, Draco always found Tyler familiar, so he wasn’t distant toward him.

Axel stepped forward and explained. “Ty is my good friend, Grandpa. That’s why he came along. You don’t

mind, do you?”

Draco was surprised to hear so many words from Axel.

“You seem different since leaving the hospital, Axel,” Draco remarked.

Axel smiled. “It’s all thanks to Ty.”

His words dispelled the last traces of resistance Draco had toward Tyler.

Draco gestured to Tyler. “Come here, kid.”

Although Tyler was reluctant, he had to put on a show for his uncle and mother’s sake. He walked to

Draco and said insincerely, “Hello, Mr. Jordan Sr.”

“Good!” Draco’s joy grew.

Afterward, he turned to Evan and said with a frown, “Your son is the only thing about you that pleases me.”

However, Evan ignored him and went upstairs.

Draco also paid no attention to him as he continued to chat with the two children.

As Evan reached the corner, he looked at Tyler and Axel.

When they made eye contact with Evan, he nodded to indicate that he would take care of things.

Downstairs, Draco was Happily conversing with the two children, but Daniella’s sudden arrival disrupted the harmonious scene.
