Chapter 1421 Weak
Dalton greeted his elders with a faint smile. Taylor then turned to Wynter with a teasing tone. “Why the sudden visit? Are you planning to introduce him to us and the rest of the family?”
That said, Noah and Taylor were genuinely happy for the couple. Both Wynter’s and Dalton’s charming features made them appear as a perfect match, presenting a sight that was nothing short of mesmerizing.
Before Wynter could respond, Dalton spoke up, “I apologize for the unannounced visit. I intended to pay proper respect to the Whitman family, but I didn’t come prepared with any gifts.”
Taylor waved off his concern. “Forget about the gifts. Just having you here is enough. Let’s have the kitchen prepare some extra specialty dishes, and we’ll enjoy a drink later.”
Wynter hurriedly interjected, “Dalton has a weak constitution, Uncle Taylor. It’s better to avoid strong drinks for now. Besides, you must have other businesses to attend.
“Let’s save the drinking for another time and have a nice meal instead. I’d like to update you on the land we acquired as well.”
Noah, who sat at the other end of the table, set down his cup and asked calmly, “Have you turned in the application?”
“I did. Mr. Calico, whom Cyrus introduced me to, is really something.” Wynter nodded as her eyes glinted. Noah agreed with a soft chuckle, though his demeanor remained indifferent.

Their conversation seemed to have an air of secrecy.
Dalton took a sip of his drink. After a moment of silence, Noah asked, “Give me an honest answer, Sevie. What are your
thoughts on Cyrus?”
Wynter answered candidly in a low voice, “Do you want to hear the truth? I replace Cyrus too naive. It’s one thing if he was born a common citizen, but he’s the Whitman family’s eldest son. Others will give more thought to what he overlooks.”
Taylor considered suggesting Wynter soften her words but realized that honesty was the best policy within the family.
Noah took an unlit cigarette in hand, seemingly deep in thought. “Is there anything else?”
“Cyrus is easy to manipulate for his kindness and loyalty, but those are also his strengths. He has spent years alone abroad and received foreign education, so he needs time to change his perspective.
“Fortunately, he seemed to have learned from Mr. Blaise’s
incident and didn’t bring shame to the Whitman family,” Wynter concluded, having taken a comprehensive look at the situation.
Hearing Wynter’s assessment, Noah secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He shook his head with a chuckle. “If Cyrus is as good as you say, then the one beside you must be exceptional. He did become his family’s head at just 19.”
Noah’s comment was directed at Dalton. Wynter glanced at her fiancé and refuted, “You can’t compare Cyrus to him. Sometimes, too much of a good thing can be detrimental.”

“She has a point. Mr. Cyrus hasn’t reached that age yet,” Dalton chimed in with a soft cough.
Noah and Taylor exchanged looks, thinking that Cyrus was older than him.
Based on the rumors they had heard about the Yarwoods, they were aware that Dalton wasn’t in the best of health. They couldn’t help but worry whether Dalton’s frail condition would affect Wynter’s future happiness.
With glaring gazes, the brothers questioned Dalton’s health. After all, Wynter mentioned he had a weak constitution.
Setting his cup down, Dalton stared into their eyes and replied, ” I have fully recovered. Sevie can vouch for that.”
Unaware of the subtle tension, Wynter added, “He’s certainly better, though the medication has been costly. That said, his breathing still isn’t completely steady.”
Dalton raised a brow at her remark. It seemed he would need to have a private discussion with her later about who was the one with erratic breathing during critical moments.
