“Sybil said His Majesty did try approaching General Matthew, but he's still on the fence. It seems that he intends to adopt a neutral stance.” Seeing the puzzlement on Harvey's face, Lawrence explained to him to give him a clearer picture of Matthew's standpoint.
Yet, Harvey still thought it was worth a shot.
“Take me to General Matthew. I'll have a chat with him. If I'm able to change his mind, His Majesty will benefit greatly from his support,” he said while staring at Lawrence.
Lawrence paused for a moment and went deep in thought. I suppose we can give it a shot. There's nothing to lose even if the discussion falls through. But if everything goes well, His Majesty will gain a strong ally.
Since they had made up their mind, he immediately brought Harvey to visit Matthew. While they were about to leave the living room, they bumped into Kelly and Sonia.
“Father, where are you going?” Sonia could not help but ask Lawrence when she saw he was about to leave the house with Harvey.
Kelly, too, looked at the two men and
frowned.
To that day, she still had yet to develop a positive impression of that young man. Alas, she could only keep her thoughts to herself since her husband and daughter were fond of him.
“There's something we need to attend to right now. You should stay at home and accompany your grandparents. You've been away for quite some time, and they missed you dearly,” Lawrence said to Sonia.
He knew his daughter would sneak out of the house had he told her to accompany her mother. That was because Kelly had yet to accept Harvey as her future son-in-law.
Sonia immediately agreed to stay back upon hearing that her grandparents missed her. Still, she was worried about Harvey when she recalled that he was a Chanaean and was unfamiliar with Turlen. Hence, she smiled at Lawrence and said, “Father, Harvey doesn’t know much about our country, so please take good of him.”
At that, Lawrence looked at his daughter. She's not even married to him, yet her world seems to revolve around this lad.
“I will!” he responded and then left the house with Harvey.
