So, it was highly likely that his sister had been adopted by someone else through improper means from that orphanage. At this point, the trail was completely cut off.
Recently, Max’s people found a neighbor who had briefly interacted with his mother. From that neighbor, he learned that his mother had a very close friend back then.
“So, this time, I still want to ask you to help me find Ms. Hayes Max could find her on his own, of course.
But the Beaumont family had deep roots in Harrowfell and their connections were naturally broader than his. They would surely be able to find her faster.
Byron pondered for a moment and nodded. After all, it was his little sister’s child, and the blood of the Beaumont family flowed through their veins. If the child was still alive and could be found, it would certainly be a good thing
After the main topic was addressed, the atmosphere in the parlor became a bit more relaxed.
“Over the years, you’ve been focused on helping Tyson find his daughter, but have you considered your own marriage?” Byron asked.
Max wasn’t upset. He smiled self–deprecatingly. “With this body of mine, I’d better not bring trouble to any girl.”

“You shouldn’t say that.” Byron took a sip of coffee. “You’re not young anymore, and it wouldn’t hurt to have a woman by your side, someone to care for you and talk to you. Over the years, hasn’t there been anyone suitable for you?”
Max was not only the adopted son of Tyson Godard but also a very good–looking man. If he wanted to, it would be impossible for him not to find someone.

“Alright, I’ll try,” Max smiled and responded, showing no signs of dissatisfaction with his elder’s marriage talk.
Byron was a bit surprised by Max’s calmness. Every time he urged Nathaniel, he always looked impatient.
“The woman you’re willing to pursue must be quite remarkable,” said Morris, Peter’s eldest son, Nathaniel’s older brother.
Max thought of Paisley and nodded firmly. “Yes, she really is remarkable.”
Then, Uncle Max, you should put in some effort and bring her over soon to meet Grandpa,” said Morris’s wife, Julia.
Max smiled without responding. After scanning the parlor, he noticed Nathaniel wasn’t there, so he asked, “Where’s Nathaniel

Only Diana showed concern and sympathy. “He was sent by Grandpa to Brightmoor for training.

“Hmph, Byron snorted coldly. “Let him go and experience some hardship, so he doesn’t just go around causing trouble all the time.”

Just then, Nathaniel’s older brother Morris couldn’t resist adding fuel to the fire, trying to cement Nathaniel’s unreliable image in front of Byron and Max. I heard that our little brother has fallen for a woman.”
