Chapter 1255: Old Master Seys’s Instructions
The man placed the toy in front of Ryan Seys, smiling as he replied, "The gentleman who sells toys said that from now on, whenever there’s a limited edition toy, they’ll send it here first so you two little friends can play to your heart’s content and have lots of fun."
"Hooray! Hooray! Tell that gentleman for me that I’m sending him a super big kiss!" Ryan exclaimed, practically taking off with joy.
With such a generous uncle, a kiss is a must!
Ariel Morris frowned, "Why does my brother pamper the kids like this? Buying all these limited edition toys, isn’t this the opposite of raising my child to not be spoiled?"
Nicole chuckled, "Well, you have just two little nephews, how can Jorge Saxton not cherish them within the palm of his hand?"
Upon hearing Nicole’s words, Ryan leapt over, his dark eyes flickering, "Auntie, buying so many toys for me, wouldn’t it be a pity if such generous men can’t find a wife, right?"
Nicole’s fair fingers tapped on Ryan’s forehead, her eyes filled with doting affection, "Nonsense, a man like your uncle not being able to find a wife? Your uncle will marry you a superstar aunt in the future!"
Jorge Saxton’s fondness for Lydia Brooke is no longer a secret; everyone who knows him knows he likes Lydia.
"That’s not what I meant..." Ryan hastily closed his mouth, wearing a wise and heartfelt expression while teaching Nicole, "Auntie, you can’t miss out on such generous men!"
"You cheeky little rascal, eager for marriage. How about auntie finds you a child bride, hmm?" Nicole smiled helplessly at Ryan.
"No, Iris already drives me nuts. I’m so fed up with girls, you see how Finley Sutherland can’t cope with Iris, always being oppressed. I don’t want annoying girls like that at all!" Ryan’s fingers dug into his small pocket, his face full of disdain.
While sipping her porridge, Iris Seys gave Ryan a cold stare but ignored him.

In the evening, Steven Cooper came to have dinner at the Seys Family’s home, coincidentally Enzo Seys and Evan Seys from the army had also returned. The family happily shared their meal together.
Old Master Seys, Dominic Seys’s health was deteriorating day by day. Watching his happy family, he smiled contentedly and shifted his gaze to his only granddaughter, speaking gently and warmly, "Nicole, this old body of mine doesn’t know how much longer it will last. My only wish now is to see you happy. There’s no need to worry about Arlo and Ariel anymore; they’ve loved each other devotedly for so many years. As for you, Grandpa just hopes to see you find happiness soon, then Grandpa would be truly without regrets."
"Grandpa," Nicole’s voice was slightly hoarse, "you’ll live a long, hundred-year life."
"These words are just you fooling yourselves. I know my own body; I won’t live long. But at this age, if I truly pass away, it’s a blessing. You shouldn’t grieve." Dominic Seys smiled amiably, shifting his gaze to Steven Cooper, "In our Seys Family, there’s only this precious jewel; you, Cooper Family lad, must take good care of my granddaughter, don’t mistreat her. She has been wandering for over twenty years and hasn’t been with the Seys Family for long, experiencing many hardships. I wish that in the years to come, you’ll protect and yield to her more."
Steven Cooper nodded solemnly, "Grandpa, I promise that if Nicole marries me, I will treat her well for a lifetime."
The atmosphere at the dining table suddenly turned somewhat sad and heavy.
The Seys Family all looked at Old Master Seys, Dominic Seys, feeling distressed. Although everyone was prepared for the old man’s passing, as it was indeed his time, sadness and sorrow were inevitable, making the mood especially heavy.

Dominic Seys called Arlo Seys and Ariel Morris inside.
