Glancing at her sharply, Glades Horne paid her no mind. He moved past her to the elder lady's side, where he and Julia Bluen sat on either side of her.
Gian Horne and his wife could sense something unusual from his actions. After exchanging glances, they didn't ask any questions, waiting instead for what would come next.
"Uncle Ying, is dinner not ready yet?" asked Glades Horne in a deep voice. His first question was about the meal. It was getting late, and he was worried Julia might be hungry.
Uncle Ying hurried out from the dining room, smiling as he responded, "Young Master Horne, it's just been prepared."
Glades Horne turned to look at Julia across from him, speaking gently, "Julia, help Grandma inside." After he finished speaking, he stood up first, helped the elder lady to her feet, and together with Julia, guided her to the main seat at the head of the dining table.
Everyone was stunned, feeling that Glades's behavior was somewhat odd.
