When she arrived at the dining room, the table was already filled with all kinds of sumptuous lunches.

Mary sat down and only then did she hear Henry order the butler beside her, “Go and call Griffith down!”

Jayce sat down beside her and explained, “That’s your third brother.”

Mary asked curiously, “How many sons does the Hall family have?”

She did not know much about the hall family. Now that her mother had married into the Hall family, it was inevitable for her to have dealings with them, so Mary wanted to take the initiative to get to know them first.

Jayce said, “Seven.”

Mary was shocked. “Seven!? And they’re all older than me?”

Jayce looked at her reaction and smiled. “Unfortunately, yes, Mary.”

Mary was secretly amazed at Henry’s fertility. She wondered if her mother would give birth to another child!

Griffith quickly came down.

He had a head of long brown hair and a pair of blue eyes, but his temperament was completely different from Jayce!

Jayce was handsome and flirtatious, while Griffith was more feminine. Mary felt that he looked familiar.

Moreover, he had not seen Mary when he had come downstairs. He did not seem to be interested in her at all.

Diana explained, “Mary, this is Griffith Hall. He is Henry’s third son. He is a pianist.”

“I know him.” Mary immediately remembered.

She had seen his video. No wonder he looked familiar.

Moreover, Mary had learned from the internet that the pianist seemed to be a little melancholic...

He was also her mother’s stepson?

The world was really interesting.

The lunch went on in an orderly manner.

Although Mary was troubled by the complicated etiquette, she had been carefully looking at what Jayce and Diana were doing, and she soon got the hang of it.

Seeing how smart she was and how quickly she learned basic skills, everyone at the table, except Griffith, expressed their satisfaction and surprise.

After lunch, Griffith did not say a word and was ready to go upstairs to rest.

Henry stopped him, “Griffith, as a brother, shouldn’t you be a host?”

Griffith looked at his father with some anger, “Dad, I’m already giving you face by coming down to eat. You know, I don’t Like strangers!”

Henry was unmoved, “Mary is not a stranger, she will be a member of our family from now on! This afternoon, you and Jayce are free to accompany Mary to the town to go shopping!”

Griffith almost jumped up, “Dad! You can’t control me and make me do things that I don’t want to do!”

Henry said coldly, “We don’t want to have a cat, but we have to endure it for you.”

Griffith immediately shut up.

He was worried that if he didn’t agree, Henry would take his cat.

Griffith glared at Mary angrily, then went upstairs.

Mary was innocent, but she didn’t want to annoy him.

Mary got up. “Mom, Henry, thank you for lunch. Actually, I have something to do this afternoon, so forget about the dinner. I think I should leave now.”

What Mary said was not an excuse.

When she just went to the bathroom, she received a new task. The publishing house’s work was suspended. She needed to get in touch with a new person.

She had followed Jayce here to see her mother. Since she had seen her mother and had eaten, it was time for her to continue doing her own thing.

“Little Mary! Are you angry? Griffith is not a bad person. If you are angry, shall I accompany you to go shopping?”

Diana stood up anxiously. Even Jayce and Henry did not expect Mary to leave!

“Litle Mary, you can stay. We have prepared a room for you. You can stay with us in the future, right?”

Henry also took the initiative to invite Mary to stay.

Mary was in a difficult position. “No, I’m not angry. I really have something to do...”

Jayce said, “Since that’s the case, why don’t you go and do your work first? The banquet will continue and you can just attend as you please. After all, your mother has already prepared for the banquet half a month in advance and made a lot of effort.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Diana looked at Mary expectantly.

Mary was helpless. “Alright. But I’ll only attend the banquet. As for... moving here, I still want to live by myself.”

The Hall family was too complicated for Mary to get too close to them.
