Chapter 253: Chapter 253
Aethelgard, Faulkner Family.
The Faulkner Family’s main residence is perched on the famous Wyrmcrest Peak at Aethelgard, sprawling across half the mountainside, and this entire area belongs to the Faulkner Family.
Having such a prime location speaks volumes about the Faulkner Family’s influence and wealth.
Estelle Sterling and Caleb Faulkner were leaning against the car window, marveling at the view outside.
The car sped along, making the lush forest quickly recede, and the scenery was very beautiful.
Soon, the car drove into the luxurious estate.
After parking, Caleb Faulkner eagerly pulled Estelle Sterling out of the car and led her into the living room.
In the lavishly decorated living room, the two elders of the Faulkner Family were sitting there. When they caught sight of Caleb Faulkner, they immediately beamed.
"Caleb, come over to your great-grandfather and great-grandmother."
Caleb Faulkner instantly ran towards them, jumping into their arms. "Great-grandfather, great-grandmother, I missed you so much."
"Caleb is such a good boy; we’ve missed you too," his great-grandfather and great-grandmother said fondly.
With benevolent smiles, the two elders hugged Caleb Faulkner like any ordinary grandparents.
Estelle Sterling watched Caleb Faulkner with longing eyes, a hint of envy flashing in her gaze.
Having relied on Eleanor Sterling since childhood, Estelle had never experienced familial love.
As for The Sterling Family’s grandfather and uncle, they seemed not to favor him much. As a young child, he had already learned to be independent. Fresh chapters posted on novel⸺fire.net
Watching Caleb Faulkner being loved by elders now, he couldn’t help but feel envious.
Oh, how he wished he could be embraced by his great-grandfather and great-grandmother too.
Sensing Estelle Sterling’s feelings, Caleb Faulkner withdrew from the elders’ embrace.
"Great-grandfather, great-grandmother, let me introduce you, this is my brother, Little Sterling."
Mrs. Faulkner looked at Estelle Sterling with a touch of surprise and asked Alaric Faulkner, "Alaric, who is this?"
Alaric Faulkner’s eyes shifted, "A godson I’ve just adopted to keep Caleb company."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Faulkner immediately came forward and pulled Estelle Sterling over. "Little Sterling, right? You look so nice, so much like our Caleb."
Caleb Faulkner chuckled. Well, they were brothers, of course, they would look alike.
As people grow old, they desire nothing more than to enjoy family harmony. Even if Alaric Faulkner said Estelle Sterling was his adopted godson, they weren’t too concerned.
"Little Sterling, quickly call your great-grandfather and great-grandmother," Caleb Faulkner urged.
Estelle Sterling squirmed a bit and then called out, "Great-grandfather, great-grandmother."
"Oh, good, good, Little Sterling is such a good boy."
Mrs. Faulkner embraced Estelle Sterling warmly. From his initial shyness, he now felt joyful and was extremely happy.
Compared to Mrs. Faulkner’s excitement, Old Master Faulkner was much more composed. He looked at Alaric Faulkner and asked, "Why have you arrived so early this time?"
Mrs. Faulkner glared at him, "What are you saying? Alaric came early; aren’t you happy? How long has it been since we last saw Caleb?"
Chastised by Mrs. Faulkner, Old Master Faulkner coughed awkwardly.
"I didn’t mean that. Of course, I want to see Caleb too."
Old Master Faulkner, once known for his iron-fisted approach in his youth, was feared for making a decision that caused his own family’s descendants to split apart.
However, it was that very decision that led the Faulkner Family to build an unrivaled business empire.
Now, he was aging and wanted to step down and let others lead.
The third son’s child was his most favored choice.
But bypassing other sons to choose a grandson inevitably sparked opinions among others, forcing the old master to first stabilize the situation.
After a round of catching up, Alaric Faulkner brought the two children to stay at the old Faulkner family residence.
