Chapter 2803: Chapter 276: Overt and Covert Struggles

Although Dylan Wellington really wanted to kick Abraham Redington out, with his wife present, he could only pretend not to see him.

Allen glanced at Abraham Redington and sat down with his father.

Skye Brown’s mediating presence finally brought some warmth to the rather cold atmosphere in the living room.

The Wellington family sat on one side of the sofa.

Abraham Redington and Eddy Chamberlain sat together on the opposite sofa.

Eddy Chamberlain sat almost glued to the side of the sofa, his survival instinct telling him to stay as far away from Abraham Redington as possible.

Even though Abraham Redington hadn’t said much since entering, Eddy Chamberlain could almost feel the sharp sunlight projecting from him, fierce enough to ’tear him apart’.

Dylan Wellington raised an eyebrow as he looked at the two young men sitting opposite him. Eddy Chamberlain had an elegant demeanor, an outstanding appearance, and decent abilities.

But compared to Abraham Redington, he seemed much more immature in his tactics.

Dylan Wellington then looked at Abraham Redington; no wonder he is the son of Aidan Lucas, even his squinting threatening manner resembles Aidan back in the day.

He pretended not to notice Abraham Redington’s hostility towards Eddy Chamberlain and deliberately smiled at Eddy Chamberlain, saying, "Eddy, have some snacks, drink some tea... we’re soon to be family, consider this place as your own home, no need to be polite."

Eddy Chamberlain: "..."

Eddy Chamberlain was a bit taken aback. During his last visit to the Wellington family’s residence, Uncle Dylan wasn’t like this.

Due to his own father’s interest in Aunt Brown, Uncle Dylan had never had a good attitude towards those with the surname Chamberlain, but today...

Eddy Chamberlain recalled what his father said to him before coming to the Wellington family’s residence and thought of the rumors he heard outside about Abraham Redington and Molly Lewis, feeling like he had finally realized the truth.

He thanked Dylan Wellington and exchanged a few polite phrases.

He picked up the only delicate snack on the table and took a couple of bites, suddenly feeling a cold, sharp gaze from beside him.

Eddy Chamberlain stopped his actions and turned his head to look at Abraham Redington sitting next to him: "Redington Young Master, you’ve been watching me... care to try some?"

"No, I don’t like coveting what belongs to others." Abraham Redington’s tone was icy, tinged with a subtle chill.

Eddy Chamberlain, however, seemed not to hear the coldness in Abraham Redington’s words, smiling subtly: "A gentleman appreciates beauty, and indeed, others’ belongings shouldn’t be coveted indiscriminately. But anything worth coveting is ultimately a treasure, and since it is a treasure, it naturally has its charming allure. I am different from Redington Young Master, I, Eddy Chamberlain, am just an ordinary person who always has a bit more admiration for beautiful treasures."

Eddy Chamberlain’s words were veiled, but he was clearly using ’treasure’ as a metaphor for Molly Lewis.

All those present were intelligent enough to understand the implication in his words.

Dylan Wellington was unsurprised when he heard Eddy Chamberlain’s words, remaining composed.

Skye Brown, on the other hand, slightly furrowed her brow.

Eddy Chamberlain and Molly Lewis, although on good terms, had always been engaged in ordinary exchanges between friends.

Eddy Chamberlain was charming and playful, Molly Lewis was haughty and willful; the two argued often as children, but there was never any sign of romantic interest.

The last meeting was merely to let the two children interact, mostly suggested by Roger Chamberlain.

Skye Brown originally thought Dylan Wellington would refuse, but who knew her love-jealous husband agreed.

This matter was indeed peculiar, but even stranger was Eddy Chamberlain’s attitude towards Molly Lewis now... what was this ’always having a bit more admiration for beautiful treasures’?

Skye Brown would never have expected Eddy Chamberlain to say such things to Molly Lewis.
