Chapter 1179: Chapter 1174: The Unspoken Words Between Uncle and Nephew

Joseph Lancaster slightly pulled at the corner of his mouth, just about to speak, when his sister Aurora Lancaster spoke first. She looked disapprovingly at Evander Lancaster and said, "You kid, you hardly come back, and when you do, you argue with your uncle."

"Auntie, when did I?" Evander Lancaster looked aggrieved, "Uncle is the hero of our family. If it weren’t for him, mother and us three would probably have been sleeping on the streets by now. He took such good care of us, I can’t even thank him enough, how could I argue with Uncle?"

"At least you have a conscience!" Aurora Lancaster feigned anger and scolded.

From the opposite side, Joseph Lancaster coldly snorted, but his words were contrary to his sister’s, "You are nothing but an ungrateful little brat!"

Back when our big brother passed away, our sister-in-law, though bearing the title of family head, knew nothing about running a business. If it hadn’t been for him willing to offend others, the businesses left by our big brother would probably have been swallowed by the extended family.

Sophia Hamilton slowly ate an orange, turned her head understandingly to look at Evander Lancaster, who also turned his handsome face and casually smoothed Sophia’s bangs as he spoke.

"Whether I have a conscience or not doesn’t matter, as long as my mom remembers you as the great benefactor!"

"You kid!"

"Saying such thoughtless things, if your dad heard it, he’d come back from the dead out of anger!"

Aurora Lancaster frowned disapprovingly. Although she was Joseph Lancaster’s biological sister, she wasn’t aware of the "special" relationship between her second brother and sister-in-law. In her understanding, her second brother helped the sister-in-law only out of respect for their big brother.

Being scolded by his aunt, Evander Lancaster snorted indifferently, then patted the sofa and sighed, "Ah, I really wish my dad could be angered back to life by me. To think that the dignified head of the Lancaster Family passed away without even holding his grandson, that’s quite a regret in life."

After Evander Lancaster finished speaking, Joseph Lancaster and his sister both lowered their heads in silence. When Michael Lancaster died, Robert Lancaster was just starting college, and he didn’t even have a girlfriend, let alone a grandson.

The atmosphere was a bit heavy. Though it had been over ten years, mentioning the departed on such a special day inevitably weighed on people’s hearts.

Evander Lancaster raised his eyes to look at Joseph Lancaster across from him, noticing the solemn expression, his lips curled into a sneer, and he sighed again, "But thankfully, with my uncle, a good brother looking after a grandson on his behalf, my dad can rest easy below."

After Evander Lancaster finished speaking, Joseph Lancaster, who was diagonally opposite, suddenly lifted his eyes and looked over, his sharp eyes as if holding two sharp swords.

Aurora Lancaster was only focused on her own grief, failing to notice the tension between uncle and nephew, suddenly looked up, took a heavy breath, and said with a smile.

"Alright, let’s not mention it. It’s a holiday, we should be happy."

Although Sophia Hamilton hadn’t spoken all along, it didn’t mean she couldn’t see the confrontation between the uncle and nephew. She glanced at the two men locked in a gaze silently, her eyes shifted, and she brought half an orange to Evander Lancaster’s lips.

When withdrawing his gaze, Evander Lancaster took a deep breath. The reason he was reluctant to come back was that seeing the harmonious interaction between his uncle and mother each time made him feel suppressed.

Looking at the expectant little face in front of him, he tugged at the corner of his lips and then opened his mouth.

Sophia Hamilton could see the reluctance in Evander Lancaster’s smile, pursed her lips, braced herself, and put that half an orange into his mouth. He closed his lips and looked at her, slowly chewing, and the curve at the corner of his mouth gradually widened.

"It’s sweet."

Seeing the genuine curve from Evander Lancaster, Sophia Hamilton also smiled.
