The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call (Wynter Quinnell) novel Chapter 311

Chapter 311 Shane and Marie Return to Kingbourne

“Have things gotten so bad that my daughter has to extend an olive

branch?”

The person who spoke from the doorway was Shane. He was dressed in an impeccable suit, and behind him was a team of doctors and secretaries, all of whom were lugging their bags. They must have

gotten off a flight not too long ago.

Naomi grinned and exclaimed in delight, “Dad, you’re home! Where’s

Mom?”

“You know your mom doesn’t cope well with long flights. She’s too tired to make the trip back to the manor, and she can only fall asleep

when she’s in a hotel,” Shane explained.

He set his bag down on the couch. “Is your grandfather giving you a

Shane fixed his gaze on Naomi and asked, “Is that what you think as well, Naomi? Did you feel that Alexis was giving you a hard time?”

“No,” she answered seriously. “I’m sure Alexis only has Grandpa’s best interests in mind, especially since Grandpa’s health is so delicate. But the family doctor did tell me that Grandpa needed plenty of nourishment.”

Sighing, Shane said ruefully, “Your grandfather is a proud and

stubborn man. That being said, you won’t have to prepare tonics or medicinal food for him after this. We have a private chef for a reason.”
