There, Sanford was seated opposite his grandfather.
The elder, Declan, presented a picture of austerity, his meticulously styled gray hair narrating tales of the past.
His deep-set eyes, imposing and authoritative, demanded immediate respect.
Stepping closer, Dexter leaned in and whispered cautiously, Mr.
Quimby, Stella has arrived as well.
A shadow flickered across Sanfords face as he murmured softly, Did she cross your path? No, I just had a word with Doreen downstairs, and she brought up Stella, Dexter explained quietly.
After a moments reflection, Sanford directed Youd better leave now.
Its crucial Stella doesnt spot you here.

Stella? Is Koris daughter here as well? Sanfords expression remained unreadable, though a slight twitch of his brow betrayed his concern. He faced Declan, his voice steady.
Grandpa, what brought you away from Lyllmann so suddenly? Gazing back with a mix of amusement and cunning, Declans smile widened.
His eyes, gleaming with a mischievous spark, revealed his tactical acumen.
Sanford, youre not fooling anyone.
Youre dodging the issue.
Sanford kept his composure, his voice even.
Im not avoiding anything, Grandpa.
You have pressing responsibilities back in Lyllmann, and its been years since you left.
Seamarsh is riddled with uncertainties and lurking dangers.
Ive made arrangements for your safe return tonight.
Declans grin took on a fox-like cunning, a playful light dancing in his eyes.
He teased out his words slowly.
Sanford, seeing you this flustered is a rarity.
Whats troubling you? Are you afraid III meddle with Stella? Sanfords eyes narrowed, his tone sharpening as he responded, My concern isnt what you might do to her.
Im worried youll throw my plans into disarray.
Every move is critical, and we cannot afford a single slip-up.
A chilling glimmer flashed in Declans eyes, carrying a stark warning.
Ive advised you before to expedite your plans.
If youre not up to the task, Im prepared to step in.
However, be warned, it wont be a scenayou can easily manage.
Sanfords expression tightened, his tone firm and unyielding.

We still have plenty of tbefore the three-month deadline approaches.
Youre acting prematurely. Patience is essential, and impulsive actions e could dismantle all weve built. Declans response was a harsh laugh, echoing slightly in the quiet room.
His piercing gaze settled on Sanford, probing and incisive.
You seem different, Sanford.
You werent always this cautious.
Is Stella the reason behind this change? Quick to dismiss the m implication, Sanford answered with deliberate clarity, No, it has nothing to do with her. My focus is solely on the comprehensive strategy.
Unswayed, Declan stood up, adjusted his attire with a crisp, practiced m motion, and announced his intent, his voice laced with determination. Since Ive made the journey here, I shall take it upon myself to meet Stella.
Im eager to understand what makes her so intriguing. With a resolved stride, he began to approach the door.
