"So you promise me, don''t embarrass anyer! We''re family; we need to get along once in a while!" "I''ll try..."


    But after the family celebrated his birthday at the dinner table, Julia started to bring up the matter of his mother''s dowry. Sebastian felt like he had swallowed a fly, his stomach churning.


    The harmony that his grandfather wanted for the family, he really found it hard to achieve.


    But still, he held it in.


    "Julia, are you unwilling to return my mother''s dowry?"


    Julia gave a bitter smile. "Sebastian... I didn''t mean that. If everyone is satisfied with the bride-to-be you''ve chosen, and I like her too, I will naturally hand over the dowry to her. It can even be given as a dowry. But is that girl really worthy of this dowry? Anyway, I really don''t feel like giving it up."


    Sebastian sneered, "My mother''s things, entrusted to you, you don''t want to return, and you still speak so high and mighty? Why does my fiancée need everyone''s approval? And your approval?"


    Mitchell frowned, "Sebastian, how can you talk to my mom like that? She''s your elder!"


    Sebastian gave him a look full of disgust without saying a word.


    Mitchell felt a sharp pain in his heart from that disgusted look.


    Did one person really need any reason to dislike another?


    That''s how Sebastian was to him.


    There''s no reason, and he won''t tell you why.


    Sebastian''s other aunt, Ava, couldn''t help but interrupt: "You just got back; you don''t know what''s going on, so don''t butt in. Just eat your food like Colton and Camille." Mitchell frowned. "Then you tell me, Aunt Ava, what happened?"


    Ava, being a clever woman, knew that if she stirred things up, Jaxon would surely hold a grudge against her. So sheughed it off, saying "You can ask your mom about this when you get home!


    Today is a family feast; it''s Sebastian''s birthday. Let''s not bring up these unpleasant matters. We can talk about itter!? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    Come, Sebastian... Aunt Ava


    watched you grow up; today is your 28th birthday... I''m getting old... I don''t know how many more years can live. I''m entrusting Colton and Camille to you, hoping you siblings wift always get along.


    Sebastian stood up to ept this toast.


    His bottom-up gesture softened Jaxon''s gaze, who hurriedly said, "Aaron, you should also have a drink with Sebastian; it''s his birthday."


    Sebastian, to maintain his grandfather''s dignity, also epted this toast and drained it in one gulp.


    Jaxon, looking at his family, rarely


    seen in such harmony, filled his eyes with smiles. "Aaron, you also


    propose a toast to Sebastian. It''s his birthday today. How do you behave as an elder?"


    Aaron couldn''t help but leave the pie mouth: "Dad, am I his elder or is he my elder? Why should I worship nephew wine?"


    Camille busy smiling way: "Uncle Aaron, the birthday boy is the biggest! I did see grandpa just toast my cousin!"


    Aaron couldn''t help raising an eyebrow and said, "naughty girl, when youe back from a trip, you only care to y with this boy!" "Hey hey, we are peers, you are our elder, so we can''t y together!"


    Aaron was helpless, and finally gave Sebastian a toast.


    Sebastian respected his grandfather and also drank this cup of wine.


    Jaxon looked at the family, rare and harmonious appearance, he was full of smile.
