The Past

In the somewhat tense room.

Jonathan said slowly, "Remember that you're a Lawrence."

This seemed to be a compromise for the shares.

Jeanne curled the corners of her lips. "Thank you, Grandpa."

"Grandpa..." Joshua, who had been silent all this while, could not hold it in any longer.

"Joshua!" Alexander called out to him.

Joshua looked at his father and held it in.

Jonathan did not need to explain to anyone. He waved his hand and said, "All of you, go out. I'm tired."

"Yes," Alexander said respectfully.

Then, he made the others leave.

Everyone walked out of the study.

Jeanne walked in front.

"Jeanne," Alexander called out to her.

Jeanne turned around. "Yes?"

"You'd better behave yourself!" Alexander threatened.

Jeanne smiled and said, "Okay."

Although she agreed right away, she was half-hearted.

Without giving anyone any face, she left after that.
