"No, he has really changed a bit." Yara Reagan mused, "Remember, the day before we set off for Aethelburg, James Grant came to see me." Iris Lockwood was stunned for a moment, "What happened?" "At that time, seeing his state, I felt he was very different." Yara Reagan reflected, "Also, two years ago, when Gem had a collaboration with their Harvestide, as the CEO, I had to meet him for a meal. I felt James Grant seemed changed even then." Evelyn Clayton looked at Yara Reagan, "What do you think has changed?" "I can’t quite say, but he seems much more silent, introverted, like a completely different person." The old James Grant, although not one to smile before speaking, always exuded an aura that commanded respect without anger, his noble arrogance seemingly cut from the same mold as Harrison Grant. Chapters first released on novel•fire.net But when Evelyn Clayton saw him today, he seemed like someone whose edges had been forcibly smoothed out. Iris Lockwood listened, still somewhat disdainful, but her snicker was softer this time. She said, "Is he now punishing himself for doing something wrong? Let me be blunt, if something had really happened to Evelyn back then, or if the Sinclair family hadn’t helped, James Grant’s fault would be huge, and even praying to Buddha wouldn’t help him!" Evelyn Clayton was amused by Iris Lockwood’s words. She shook her head with a smile, "Iris is right too." Iris Lockwood immediately said, "Right, right! Even if he becomes a saint, what’s the use? Is Evelyn going to forget everything just because his temperament changed, marry him, and have children, disregarding everything else?" "That’s a good point," Yara Reagan agreed, "Although I don’t know what exactly James Grant wants this time, but anyway, time can’t turn back. Evelyn, even though none of us have the right to interfere in your affairs, I still hope that if you really feel soft towards him and decide to start over..." Yara Reagan hesitated, paused before continuing, "I hope you will think it over carefully." Evelyn Clayton tugged at her lips, seeming to smile wryly, "Why are all of you so afraid of me getting back together with him?" "Who else said that?" Yara Reagan precisely caught onto the key point. Evelyn Clayton didn’t think much of it, casually said, "Shane Sinclair also mentioned it." Yara Reagan’s expression changed slightly, then exchanged a glance with Iris Lockwood. Iris Lockwood couldn’t help but gossip, "What exactly did he ask you?" "Not much different from what Yara said. He said he wouldn’t interfere with me, but he also hopes I will consider it carefully." Iris Lockwood elongated her tone, "Oh, so Shane Sinclair is also afraid of you reconciling with James Grant!" Evelyn Clayton finally noticed something was off, looked at Yara Reagan and Iris Lockwood, sensed a hint of mischief in their expressions, and said half-jokingly, half-seriously, "You two, don’t overthink it, and don’t forget, both our last names are Sinclair." Iris Lockwood was about to say something but stopped sheepishly when Evelyn Clayton glared at her. "All right, all right, let’s not talk about this anymore," Yara Reagan saw Evelyn Clayton’s mood had improved a lot and quickly changed the topic, "How was it when you went back today, is everything going well at work?" Speaking of this, Evelyn Clayton became serious. "There’s something quite important, related to Iris." Iris Lockwood, "Huh? What is it?" "Laprite’s spokesperson might be changing, and Vice Director Wyatt from our department proposed, for the new spokesperson, Nadia Archer."
