Chapter 755: Chapter 389: Dreams Fulfilled (Third Update)
Lawrence Winters turned around and saw Evan Stetford, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time, and couldn’t help but smile, "Evan, you’ve returned to the country?"
Evan Stetford nodded politely, "Mm, I just got back, planning to leave after attending the banquet. I regretted not being able to meet you, but it seems my luck isn’t too bad."
"You’re my friend, so of course your luck is good!" Lawrence winked at him, but from the corner of his eye, he noticed Ruby Sheldon, who had changed into another outfit.
Ruby Sheldon was not only shocked but also furious, her eyes nearly popping out.
Beside her stood a tall man, whose appearance... looked quite like Aiden Sheldon, but much younger. He should be his ’often heard about but never seen’ eldest son, right?
Lawrence knew Ryan Sheldon had an older brother.
However, when she tried to check Nathan Sheldon’s face, she found it interesting. — She couldn’t discern his fortune from his appearance.
This situation indicated that Nathan Sheldon had a master by his side hiding his appearance, something a regular fortune teller couldn’t detect.
Just like the Wells Residence Garden they lived in, certainly, there was a master helping them with the layout.
Evan Stetford, at first sight of Lawrence Winters, was indeed a bit flustered.
Now feeling Lawrence Winters’ unusual gaze, he turned around and saw Ruby Sheldon and Nathan Sheldon standing behind him.
Evan Stetford naturally nodded to them, "Nathan, Betty, you’re here?"
Lawrence watched as Ruby Sheldon swiftly flashed a smile, her speed as fast as her outfit changes.
Ruby Sheldon pretended not to see Lawrence, walked towards Evan Stetford, and immediately said, "Uncle, can I dance the first dance with you later?"
Evan Stetford: "..."
He wanted to invite Lawrence Winters for the first dance, not dance with Ruby Sheldon.
He was about to say this, but Nathan Sheldon already spoke up, acting slightly hurt as he clutched his chest, "Betty, you just said you wanted to dance the first dance with me, how come suddenly it’s Uncle?"
Ruby Sheldon took Evan Stetford’s arm with one hand and Nathan’s with the other, saying cheerfully, "All of them! All of them! No particular order, whoever comes first!"
Evan Stetford discreetly withdrew his arm, smiling, "Actually, Betty, shouldn’t your first dance be with your father? You have two brothers and many suitors; I won’t join the fun. Also, I can’t dance today’s court dance."
He was really disappointed inside because he knew he couldn’t dance with Lawrence Winters either.
Refusing Ruby Sheldon and then inviting Lawrence Winters would only create hostility for Lawrence.
So his only option was to completely refuse and dance with no one.
"Ah? Really, that’s such a shame!" Ruby Sheldon shook her head regretfully, "By the way, my first dance is indeed reserved for my dad! Uncle, have you seen my dad?"
"I arrived late, haven’t seen him yet, but most people have gone inside; your dad should be in there."
Ruby Sheldon was delighted and nodded vigorously, "That’s great! I’ll go find my dad now!"
As the birthday girl and the apple of the Sheldon family’s eye, she naturally does whatever she wants.
Ruby Sheldon hurriedly ran inside Fortune Pavilion to find Aiden Sheldon.
Nathan Sheldon’s gaze swept over Evan Stetford’s face and finally landed on Lawrence Winters.
He looked at Lawrence and smiled slightly, "This lady looks unfamiliar, may I ask who you are?"
Evan Stetford quickly said, "She’s Lawrence Winters, used to be my agent, now she’s a good friend."
The implication of protection in his words was very clear.
Nathan Sheldon nodded, "Oh, is she with you?"
Meaning, was she brought along by Evan Stetford.
Evan Stetford looked at Lawrence Winters.
Lawrence also smiled and said, "Thank you, Evan, for your kindness. I’m here with Mrs. Foster today."
Evan Stetford and Edward Foster were good friends; he immediately understood and asked with a smile, "What about little Foster? Why haven’t I seen him?"
"I’m wondering too, I’ve looked around but didn’t see him."
As the two of them continued chatting, Evan Stetford introduced Nathan Sheldon to Lawrence, "This is the eldest son of the Sheldon family, Nathan Sheldon, Ryan and Betty’s big brother."
Like Ryan, Nathan Sheldon had studied abroad since he was young and, upon returning to the country, worked incognito from the bottom within the Sheldon Consortium, never appearing in Capital City’s high society.
Few people knew him.
Thus, among those men coming in and out of Fortune Pavilion, few interacted with Nathan Sheldon.
Evan knew that Aiden Sheldon and his wife were strict with Nathan Sheldon, still not planning to announce his heir status.
