Earle, who was always serious, burst into laughter when he heard Silas’ words.

For a moment, the tense atmosphere eased.

Silas was about to breathe a sigh of relief. However, Earle’s next words immediately made the atmosphere freeze again.

“Silas, don’t call him uncle from now on,” Earle sneered. Then he mocked, “I wonder why I keep such an unfilial grandson. I’ll just think that I don’t have a grandson like him. I’ll let you and Adrian manage Moran Group together in the future.”

Upon hearing this words, Maurice’s face darkened at once.

Silas saw that the situation was not good, so he quickly changed the subject. “Great-grandpa, let’s not talk about it for now. You haven’t taken your medicine today yet, right? I’ll accompany you to take your medicine first.”

It was only then that Earle stood up. But before he left, he turned to Maurice and said, “I’m going to take my medicine. Stay here and accompany Aileen and Adrian.”

After Earle left, Maurice and Adrian looked at each other up and down with embarrassment on their faces.

They couldn’t just stand here like this and do nothing. Then Maurice caught sight of the chessboard on the desk. He asked, “Do you want to continue playing chess?”

Adrian couldn’t find a better way to get along with Maurice. So he just sat down awkwardly and started playing chess with Maurice without saying anything.

Neither of them spoke, so the atmosphere was unusually quiet.

Aileen looked at the handsome Maurice and then at Adrian, feeling that they were really boring. She shrugged and said, “You guys enjoy yourselves.” Then she ran to Ivy and drew with her.
