Chapter 133: Chapter 133: Rachel Woodward’s Sudden Arrival
After all the dishes were served, the old lady was the first to start eating, and only then did everyone else begin.
Although the dining table was quiet, it wasn’t dull. Everyone was focusing on eating what they liked, and the dining atmosphere was quite nice.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
"Linden, go check it out," the old lady frowned, wondering who would come at this time.
Linden glanced outside the door and was momentarily stunned: "Madam, it’s Miss Woodward from the Woodward Family."
Rachel Woodward? The old lady glanced at Lynn Woodward, thinking this woman really can’t hold back, she’s already making her move.
Since the person had come, not letting her in would cause unnecessary trouble with the Woodward Family, which wasn’t worthwhile.
"Since she’s here, let Miss Woodward come in then."
For the bigger picture, the old lady compromised.
But Lynn Woodward wasn’t that smart.
In her view, perhaps the old lady was also dissatisfied with Nora Northwood, which is why she agreed to let Rachel in.
As soon as the visitor entered with gifts, everyone’s eyes fell on the people at the main table.
The scene was really exciting!
Yet Jasper Sinclair didn’t care, after all, he had no feelings for this woman, even though his aunt had tried to set them up before.
"Have some shrimp," he placed the peeled shrimp in Nora Northwood’s bowl.
The two were showing their affection openly.
Jenson Sinclair watched with some surprise, wondering if his cousin had gone mad, being so attentive to a woman with no family background.
At this moment, Rachel Woodward also saw their interaction.
Her gentle face froze slightly, but it was just for a moment before she returned to normal.
"It’s been so long, Sinclair, you haven’t changed a bit. This must be Mrs. Sinclair, seeing truly is believing," she said.
"Her identity has always been a secret. Where did you hear such rumors?" Jasper Sinclair didn’t spare her, speaking sharply.
Rachel Woodward’s face turned ugly in an instant.
What was originally just a polite remark now left her in an awkward situation.
The old lady felt extremely satisfied in her heart, finally, this boy knew how to protect Nora.
"Maybe I just heard that Sinclair got married, so I was curious about Mrs. Sinclair." She quickly adjusted her mindset.
No worries, her aunt said there was a way to get her into the Sinclair Family.
The Woodward Family was not a small family, more than enough to match Jasper Sinclair.
Now that he’s infatuated with some woman from God knows where, she couldn’t be rushed.
Her good upbringing wouldn’t allow her to lose composure in public, so even though Jasper Sinclair gave her no face, she just smiled and didn’t say anything.
"Sit down, we just started eating too. Linden, get an extra set of tableware," the old lady said.
Although she invited her to sit, The Sinclair Family members could tell the old lady’s tone was far from pleased.
You could say Miss Woodward’s timing was indeed opportune.
Lynn Woodward warmly pulled her over, "Mom, don’t blame me for acting on my own, it’s just that this girl has been missing you dearly and wanted to see you as soon as she returned home."
She tried her best to speak sweetly in front of the old lady.
To be honest, whether or not someone could enter the Sinclair Family depended not only on Jasper Sinclair, as the decision-making power was in the old lady’s hands.
Taking the opportunity, Rachel Woodward quickly took out the prepared gift.
"This is a vase I bought at an auction abroad. I heard you love collecting such pieces, so I brought this back for you," she said.
She thought the old lady would be pleased upon seeing it.
Instead, after just one glance, the old lady seemed unimpressed.
"Just put it down," she instructed Linden to take it aside.
Rachel Woodward was puzzled, wondering if she had chosen the wrong gift?
