Lyle and the butler stood at the back and watched the silent conversation between the two of them, looking dumbfounded.
As they were about to go downstairs, Leonard and Mellisa suddenly met Lyn at the entrance of the elevator.
Mellisa walked beside the man, raising her eyes to see Lyn's smile, and when she nodded, she wanted to pass.
Lyn glanced at Mellisa disdainfully, and then walked to Leonard's other side. "Leonard, let me help you."
"This is troublesome!" Leonard's tone was low, showing blatant rejection.
Seeing this, Lyn was not angry, and followed them and went to the living room.
A few minutes later, everyone was seated at a long European-style table.
Leonhart and Michelle sat in respectable positions, Leonard and Lyle side by side, Lyn across from them, and the butler went to get the food.
At this moment, Leonard turned his head and said to Mellisa, "Sit down." His voice was calm, and the others set their sights at just the right time.
Melissa frowned at that moment. "Thank you for your kindness. But I'm still working, so sorry I can't fulfill your request."
With the Patriarch and Madam present, as well as Lyn, Mellisa didn't want to get too involved in this.
Lyn looked at Mellisa gracefully, then smiled and joked with Michelle. "Auntie, I've always heard that the Adlers treat their maids very well. Today I see that this is indeed the case."
Her words seemed like a compliment, but in fact she had an ulterior motive.
With a family as large as the Adlers, Lyn had never heard of anyone ordering the maid to eat at the same table as the head of the household.
Michelle frowned slightly, and when she was about to speak, Leonard had already started screaming. "Oh sorry, I thought too much, I forgot you were going to feed me!"
Mellisa. "..."
A trace of surprise crossed Lyn's eyes, and she changed her mind. She then recommended herself. "Brother Leonard, I... I will help you."
Leonard turned a deaf ear to Lyn's words.
He stretched out his hand and groped for a moment, leaned back against the back of the chair beside him, and immediately pulled Melissa up. "Sit down, there are not many rules in my house!"
Mellisa noticed Lyn and Michelle's burning eyes, as if telling her not to accept Leonard's request. But Mellisa was helpless, so she was finally forced to sit beside Leonard.
Michelle looked at Leonard's indifferent cheeks, and said frankly, "Leonard, after dinner, I will ask the doctor to come and examine your eyes. As long as there is hope, don't give up."
Hearing this, Leonard nodded towards her. "Thank you mom!"
Michelle sighed. "Since I have to go on business trips, I did not have time to accompany you when your eyes started to hurt like this. I also heard that your servants have taken good care of you. And this time, I will not go anywhere and am ready to take care of you whenever needed. If you have any needs, please call me at any time."
Michelle currently looks very kind and tolerant in her attitude towards Leonard.
On this table, the scene of a mother showing her affection and kindness slightly eases the tension.
Not long after, the butler brought the servants to bring the food, and the various delicious foods on the long table were very appetizing.
Leonard folded his legs and leaned back against the back of the chair, his eyes keenly watched everyone's expressions from behind the sunglasses.
At this time, Leonhart took the lead and grabbed the food utensils, and the others started picking up one by one.
During the meal, no one spoke, and this showed the etiquette of an upper class family.
At this time, Mellisa was holding the dinner plate and she took a piece of quail meat. She then dragged the dinner plate to Leonard's mouth, and the young master asked, "What's that?"
"Quail."
Hearing her voice, Leonard opened his mouth.
At the dinner table, this scene reminded everyone that the current Leonard was a blind man who needed help in everything. This makes people very sorry for this incident.
This scene, in Lyn's eyes, was very eye-catching.
Her eyes fell on Leonard and Mellisa, then she narrowed her eyes, picked up a piece of beef, got up and placed it on the dinner plate held by Mellisa. "Leonard, this beef is delicious, you have to taste it."
Michelle nodded in satisfaction when she saw her behavior. "Look at Lyn, she's very caring."
Lyle looked around, raised his eyebrows, then got up and placed a plate of beef right in front of Leonard. "Brother, since I am also a considerate person, I will give you this plate of beef!"
Lyn pursed her lips and glanced at Lyle. She lowered her eyelids to block the disgust in her eyes.
At that moment, Leonard was squinting at the piece of beef that was on his dinner plate. Seeing that it wasn't Mellisa who took it, the heir to the Adler family turned away.
But he didn't speak. Suddenly, Mellisa didn't seem to be able to hold her fork firmly, and the meat in her hand fell to the ground.
She lowered her head and whispered apologetically, "Sorry, the beef fell."
"It's okay, I've been too lazy to eat and I don't really like beef either."
The two of them spoke as if they were alone in this world, leaving Lyn alone, making the woman accidentally squeeze the spoon in her hand.
She clearly saw the maid drop the beef she gave on the floor on purpose.
Leonard might not be able to see, she wouldn't be fooled!
Lyn's eyes blinked as she put down her two cutlery, and wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin. "Brother Leonard, isn't he so careless in handling your food?"
Leonard's expression was light. "He's nervous because there are so many people, things like this are natural."
"What's this nervousness anyway?" Lyn tilted her head and smiled. "Is it because he had done something wrong that made him nervous? We only met two days ago and he wasn't very polite to me. You are unwell now, leaving you in someone's care who doesn't know the rules and such manners is outright worrying."
Michelle then stopped eating. "Lyn, did you just say he was rude to you?"
As she spoke, her gaze was already on Mellisa's body.
Lyn looked at Michelle and nodded slightly, looking embarrassed. "Auntie, I don't want to say it. But… you can see that he can't even do something as simple as feeding. Leonard needs a good rest now. If the maids around Leonard can't do simple things, how can he recover?"
Michelle nodded subconsciously, and a cold tint appeared in her eyes when she saw Mellisa. "Who recruited this servant? Why can't you do small things like that even though you are a servant of the Adler family? You even dare to be rude to Lyn, who is Leonard's future wife? Pack your things and leave!"
Lyn's brows suddenly became overjoyed upon hearing this.
She slowly raised the corners of her mouth, and when she stared at Mellisa's silent figure, her expression turned very triumphant.
At this moment, Leonard sighed, facing Lyn with rage painted all over his face. "Since you dare to say that at the dinner hosted by my family, do you really think of yourself as someone important here?
"Since when did I need your permission to take care of myself? Mom, is it because I'm blind, I can't choose who to serve me? Am I that flawed in your eyes?"
Michelle didn't expect the maid issue to cause such a big reaction from Leonard.
She wanted to deny a few words, but was scared when she remembered that Leonhart was next to her. When she hesitated, she didn't know how to answer.
On the other hand, Lyn was ridiculed by Leonard's words again. She bit the corner of her mouth and lowered her head sadly.. "Leonard, I say this because I care about you."
