Arlo Seys's gaze was steady, not retorting to his father's accusations, his expression calm, yet he seemed burdened with heavy thoughts.
Dominic Seys gave Evan Seys a warning glance, looking at his beloved grandson with kindness and warmth in his eyes, "Arlo, what's wrong? Don't listen to your dad's yelling. He's used to being stern in the army, always training the soldiers. He just enjoys bringing those military habits back to discipline you! Granddad is here! Don't pay him any mind!"
Evan Seys wanted to retort, but under Dominic Seys's authoritative gaze, he grunted, looking at his silent son with both concern and an urge to scold him again.
Veralina Quinn smiled warmly and said, "Son, why didn't you bring Ariel Morris back for dinner? You're really something, leaving Ariel alone at home. You should bring her back to the old house more often and let us in-laws get along well!"
