Cole instinctively opened his mouth to refuse. In his mind, Lily Shaw, as the Young Madam of The Grant Family, was far too precious; he really didn't want Lily to lower herself by personally cooking.
But then he remembered how Old Master Grant had been complaining these past few days that the food didn't taste right, and he'd been eating less than before. The Grant Family's chief steward, who was decisive in the eyes of outsiders, suddenly hesitated, and for a moment he genuinely didn't know how to choose.
Aiden Grant saw the hesitation on Cole's face and thought of his adoptive father's usual way of handling things. At once, a look of understanding crossed his features. Smiling, he said, "Uncle Cole, the moment Lily hears she can cook for Grandpa, she'll definitely say yes without a second thought. Back in Silvercrest, she often went to her grandmother's place to take care of her. She's completely in her element doing this kind of thing."
