All these years, Jarold had been eating all by himself.
Even though Baldrick was there, they were both old men. It's still a sad sight to see two old men keeping each other company.
Jarold wasn't always that lonely, he used to live with his wife and daughters. If it wasn't because he was so strong-willed, he would never have been able to go through so many years by himself.
Now his younger daughter had returned as well.
Although his older daughter was no longer around, her child had come with a family of three. No, a family of four now.
Moreover, Minerva brought Quill with her.
Including him and Baldrick, eight people were eating in total.
How lively it was.
Jarold's eyes were filled with joy. In addition, Beanie was sitting right next to him, making Jarold even more delighted. Recently, Beanie was able to help Minerva leave quite a good impression.
Jarold never liked Minerva. And because of his pride, his impression of her dropped even further.
However, after Beanie's recent 'brainwashing', Jarold's current level of impression toward this granddaughter-in-law could be said to have reached more than seventy percent.
However, as he was a proud man, he couldn't show how satisfied he was with this granddaughter-in-law.
However, he was able to greet Quill and exchanged a good conversation.
They were all men of high status in a company after all, so they had something to talk about.
It didn't take long for Jarold to have a good impression of him. He felt that Quill was a reliable person.
During the meal, Beanie mentioned a lot of good things about Minerva.
On the other hand, Abigail was eating absentmindedly. Looking at the people at the big table, her thoughts drifted into a distant memory.
She was still very young then, and her sister was the one who doted on her the most.
Their mother met with some health problems after giving birth to her and was bedridden for years.
No matter how much expensive medicine she used, she eventually still passed on.
After the passing of their mother, Aurora was the one who treated Abigail the best.
Her older sister took care of her like a mother. Because Jarold had been distraught about their mother's passing, he wasn't doing very well himself. In addition, he had been mentally and physically exhausted during that time. Thus, he was unable to settle a lot of things in the company.
Therefore, after settling their mother's funeral, Jarold had to continue to deal with many unsolved issues in the company. As a result, he had neglected his two daughters.
At first, the sisters could understand what their father was going through. But gradually, their relationship with him faded as time passed.
For children, the most important thing was their parents' companionship.
Whenever they went back home, the first thing they would always hear was that their father was busy with work, and they needn't wait for him.
At first, they still managed to see each other a few times. Later, he barely had time for them.
Jarold's work was getting busier. He was so busy that he didn't have time to spend with his daughters, but he also didn't look for another partner either.
Thinking of this, Abigail sneered in her heart.
The only good thing about her old father was his loyalty. When her mother passed away, he had already achieved a very high status. Many women around him wanted to throw themselves at him, but Jarold didn't even give them a single look.
He remained a widow for the rest of his life for the sake of his wife. He did not remarry, nor did he flirt with any other women.
It was a pity that he was too authoritative.
