Ingrid didn't voice her concerns aloud, but everyone understood that she was worried Helen might make things difficult for Ryan.
Although the Klein family had rarely attended social gatherings over the past two years, they were still somewhat aware of outside events. They knew about Carissa's situation, though they chose not to delve deeply into it.
It was common knowledge that Helen was not entirely pleased with Carissa as a daughter-in-law. Bringing Ryan along might only increase Helen's displeasure.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"I will always prioritize Ryan's well-being. If Helen cannot accept him, then I will return to Northwatch Estate. I assure you, Ryan will not suffer any grievances," Carissa said.
However, her assurances did little to ease the concern of those present. After all, a woman marrying a second tand not receiving the favor of her mother-in-law would undoubtedly face daily challenges. Even if Rafael was fair and just, the strain between mother and wife could becburdensover time.
Edward's brother, Elliot Klein, said, "Actually, it would be best if Ryan could stay here at Highcrest Estate. With so many of us to care for him, he would be well-protected and would certainly not suffer any undue hardship. As for finding a prestigious tutor, we can arrange that ourselves." With these words, everyone nodded in agreement.
After her initial excitement, Ingrid's emotions began to calm. Though she wished Ryan could always be by her side, her life experiences had taught her to think more long-term.
Holding Ryan close, her dark, wide robe spread out like a mother hen's wings protecting her chick. Then, she said softly, "Ryan is to inherit a title in the future, and he's the only son left in the Duke of Northwatch's family. The Klein family will support him wholeheartedly. However, our support alone isn't enough. If he stays with Prince Rafael and is occasionally introduced to various circles and influential people, it will be more beneficial than all the efforts we could put in." She then looked at Carissa and added, "I also don't agree with what you said earlier. Ryan shouldn't be a mere idle noble. He had an esteemed grandfather, father, and uncles who were all heroes in their own right. Even if he may not surpass his grandfather and father, he must strive to do his best and not tarnish their reputation or the nof the Duke of Northwatch." Ingrid then looked at Ryan and said, "No matter whether you can achieve it or not, you must put in your best effort. If you do your best and still don't succeed, no one will blyou. But if you don't put in the effort, you will be ashamed to face your grandfather, father, and uncles." Ryan looked up at his great-grandmother, and nodded vigorously.
He mouthed silently, "Understood!" With tears welling up in her eyes, Ingrid hugged him tightly. "The Klein family will always be your support. We will always stand by you." Cuddled in his great-grandmother's embrace, Ryan was as obedient as a little kitten.
Carissa thought about it, and realized that Ingrid's perspective was indeed far-sighted. A noble title without the capability to back it up would only attract envy. No one could protect Ryan forever; only by 1/2 +25 BONUS Chapter 257 being capable and self-sufficient could he stand firm in the world of power and influence.
This was the true message Ingrid wanted to Copy. She wanted Ryan to take his grandfather and father as examples and to be motivated by their legacy.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEveryone nodded in agreement. Suddenly, Sophia stood up.
"Lady Sinclair and Ryan will have dinner here before they leave. I'll immediately ask the kitchen to prepare more delicious dishes."
Although Carissa hadn't planned on having dinner there, it was obvious the Klein family wanted Ryan here for dinner. She was happy to complyn with their wish and allow them to see him a little longer. Sophia was indeed skilled at managing the household. Within just two hours, she had arranged several tables, and all the family members gathered to share a meal together. Even Ingrid joined them and seemed rejuvenated after the dinner. After they had eaten and talked for a while, Carissa and Ryan left.
Ingrid called everyone to the main hall. Her eyes, once clouded, now sparkled with clarity.
She instructed her children and grandchildren, "With Carissa getting married, the Klein family should m e assist with the wedding preparations and prepare a generous dowry. We must keep in touch with her frequently.
"You all need to be more active in social engagements-attend banquets and gatherings as and when your need to Don'Wisolate yourselves as you did before. Build connections and networks. My great-grandson will be inheriting a title, and he needs influential support!" "Yes, ma'am!" Her children and grandchildren, daughters-in-law, and sons-in-law all responded in unison.
