After returning to the banquet, Old Master Babington became even more enthusiastic. He draped his arm around Matthew's shoulder, peppering him with questions about his family. Matthew's marital status was a particular concern for him.
After receiving repeated confirmation from Matthew, he finally moved on from the topic, feeling disappointed.
Meanwhile, Jonathan, who was Old Master Babington's in-law, was left on the sidelines. His expression at this moment appeared extremely awkward.
Though he was half a generation older than Matthew, Old Master Babington's favor towards Matthew seemed to elevate Matthew‘s generational status to that of a grandfather's.
Watching Old Master Babington's increasing warmth towards Matthew, Jonathan was afraid that Old Master Babington might impulsively propose a sworn brotherhood with Matthew.
