Ruby smiled warmly. “If you like it, eat more. Any time you’re craving it, just tell me-I’ll make it for you p>
Sebastian’s smile faded as quickly as it had come. He gave a slight nod. “Okay p>
Maybe the little one would like it too. She’d probably love it.
Triny, hearing his response, picked up a rib with her fork and smiled. “Seeing Sebastian enjoy it so much, I have to try too.” After taking a bite, her face lit up. “It really is delicious! Ms. Ruby, your cooking is incredible. I’d love to learn from you sometime p>
Ruby beamed. “Anytime! I’d be happy to teach you p>
The atmosphere at the table became even more relaxed, with everyone happily enjoying their meal.
Mr. Greg chuckled kindly. “Girls these days usually don like cooking. It’s rare and refreshing to see someone like Triny take interest p>
Triny glanced shyly at the man beside her. “I didn’t have much of a choice. My dad always told me not to grow up too spoiled. When I was overseas, I had to cook for myself now and then. Eventually, I started to enjoy it p>
Leon feigned offense. “You little rascal. Don’t pin that on me. You’ve always been too independent p>
Mr. Greg nodded approvingly. “It’s good for girls to be independent. That’s something I really like about Triny p>
“Exactly! Unlike my Ice, who refuses to set foot in the kitchen. I’ve never had a single dish made by her,” Ruby said, shooting a look at her daughter.
Elsa frowned. “Mom! Seriously? There are so many people here, and you’re embarrassing your own daughter p>
Triny laughed, a touch embarrassed. “You’re all making me blush. I can’t compare to Sebastian, Felix, or Elsa-they’re all so impressive.” She couldn’t help sneaking a glance at the man across the table, but he remained expressionless, sipping red wine and paying no attention to their side of the conversation.
Leon followed her gaze, immediately catching on. “Sebastian’s not getting any younger. I imagine he has a girlfriend already p>
The entire table fell silent as every eye turned to Sebastian.
He downed the rest of his wine in one go and said flatly “Let’s not pry into personal matters. When the time is right, I’ll let you all know p>
Triny’s face turned pale, a shadow of disappointment crossing her features.
The atmosphere grew awkward for a moment, until Felk broke the tension with a grin. “Come on, He’s still young! It’s trendy to marry late these days. If anyone’s in a rush, send me the matches-I don’t mind having options p>
Everyone laughed, and the tension eased.

Jared chuckled. “You little punk. Focus on finishing school first. Stop daydreaming. If you were half as capable as your brother, I could finally sleep easy p>
“Seriously. You laze around all day. What kind of girl would want to date you?” Ruby added, tapping her son’s head with her finger.
Felix grinned shamelessly, unfazed, and continued eating.
Mr. Greg glanced at his grandson with a look of quiet meaning, then shifted his gaze.
After dinner, the elders gathered for tea while the younger ones chatted.
Sebastian had promised to spend the evening with the old man, so he stayed overnight at the family estate.
Triny and Elsa chatted nonstop about luxury brands and amusing stories from overseas.
Sebastian lounged lazily, sipping red wine with a cool expression. The deep crimson liquid flowed smoothly into his mouth, adding a devilish charm to his already perfect features.
Felix scrolled aimlessly through his phone before looking up at Sebastian. “Big Bro, do women seriously have nothing better to do than shopping and strolling around all day p>
Elsa rolled her eyes. “Shopping is in our blood. Aside from studying, we get to do what we enjoy p>
Triny smiled gently. “Exactly. Felix doesn’t get it now, but when he has a girlfriend someday, he’ll understand why girls love shopping p>
“Hmph, I’ll make sure to find one who doesn’t like shopping,” Felix declared stubbornly.
“Oh really?” Elsa teased. “I look forward to seeing what kind of girl Felix ends up with p>
Felix grinned confidently. “Just wait and see.” Then he turned to Sebastian. “What about you, Bro? What’s your type p>
Both women instantly turned to look at him.
Sebastian swirled the wine in his glass with a languid grace. A sly, almost wicked smile curled on his lips. “Cunning. Shameless. Completely heartless p>
Felix blinked. “What kind of answer is that? I’ve heard of sweet and sexy-not whatever that was. Is that even a real type? You messing with us p>
Just as the words left his mouth, a phone rang.
Sebastian set his glass down and picked up the call. “Yeah? You found it? Good. I’ll be right there.” He hung up, rose from his seat, and headed straight for the door. Passing through the main hall, he said to Mr. Greg, “Grandpa, I’m heading out. I’ll visit again soon p>
Before the old man could respond, Sebastian had already disappeared through the front door.
The others exchanged glances, none of them sure what had just happened.
Triny stared after his retreating figure,
A flicker of doubt in her eyes.
