William wasn’t someone who particularly enjoyed praising others. Therefore, he meant precisely what he said when he complimented Sophie.
“Thank you, Old Mr. Lombard.” Despite receiving praise, she remained collected.
The couple stood at the side as William continued tending to the flowers. Even though William didn’t say much of anything, he did order the butler to ask the chef to prepare a few more dishes Sophie liked.
It was a clear display of his affection for her.
In the past, he didn’t like her. But, he found himself adoring her more and more nowadays. However, he was a prideful man, so he found it difficult to lower himself and speak to Sophie further.
The difference between how he used to treat her and how he treated her at that moment was drastic.
That night, Sarah and Ysabelle also returned home for dinner. Felix came too, but William seemed dissatisfied with the former.
It was because William thought the age gap between Felix and Ysabelle was too significant.
Therefore, he didn’t treat Felix nicely for the whole night.
Upon approaching Tristan, Felix asked, “Did I offend your dad? Why do I feel like he’s upset with me today, Mr. Tristan?”
Of course he’ll be upset after a hog like you snatched the precious sweetheart he doted on for two decades away. You should be glad he didn’t
