Lyra stayed at the old house for dinner.
During dinner, Arthur occasionally used the public chopsticks to pick up food for Lyra, which in return earned him an unhappy glance from his mother, Hannah Leung.
Arthur paid no attention to his mother's expressions, and he was very friendly to Lyra, so friendly that she was somewhat unaccustomed to it.
Erwin Jackson did not appear at the dinner table, having left early on.
He didn't want to see Lyra.
After dinner, Lyra said goodbye to Mr. Jackson, planning to go home.
Arthur took the initiative to propose: "I'll drive Lyra home."
Mr. Jackson said, "You just got your driver's license not long ago, and I'm worried. Let Erwin drive."
A servant passed the message, and upon learning that his grandfather wanted him to drive Lyra away, Erwin impatiently refused, saying, "I'm very busy, and I don't have the time."
He thought that would be the end of it.
However, Mr. Jackson went to find Erwin himself.
