“Did River come again?” Damian asked. Christian replied, “Not only did he come, but he also brought flowers and presents. I think they’re jewelry. He’s pursuing Rosalie openly now.”Damian smiled. “I guess we can just sit back and watch. Rosalie doesn’t get lovestruck. Whether he can win her heart also depends on the future direction of Crest Co.. If it remains a competitor of Summit Group, he and Rosalie can only remain the way they are now.”Marriage would be difficult. There would be no meaning to it if Rosalie and River kept their guard up around each other.“Have you all investigated River’s family background?” Christian suddenly asked. “Although I’m not romantically in love with Rosalie, our families are close, and we’ve been on a blind date before. I hope she can marry a nice person. We should find a partner who has a similar social status to us.”If it were just a fling, the person’s family background did not matter. However, once marriage was involved, they had to ch

Christian sounded jealous. “I can’t believe River is going to get a girlfriend, whereas I’m still single.“I was trying to get into a relationship with Rosalie, but River came between us.”Damian’s eyes gleamed. He said, “You can still pursue my sister. She hasn’t accepted River’s confession, so they’re not a couple yet. You still have a chance, a fair competition with River.“If you pursue Rosalie, you can even make River nervous. It might even give their relationship a boost. When they get married, I’ll be sure to reward you handsomely as a token of appreciation.”Damian wanted River and Rosalie to stop delaying things and get together quickly. River was thirty-one, and Rosalie was twenty-nine. Even if years had passed, River would still be a mature and composed man in his thirties. On the other hand, some women aged quickly after they hit their thirties. If she had to wait for years to get married and have children, she would face higher risks during her pregnancies.Christ

If the class reunions were held in Solville, Rosalie could squeeze some time out to show up and meet her ex-classmates. Some of them were capable, and she wanted to headhunt them. That was the true reason behind her joining gatherings. “I need to take this call, River.”River smiled and gestured at her to go on. Rosalie answered the call before him. The class rep’s name was Lucinda, and there was a period when they had been close during their high school years. However, in senior year, Lucinda had a conflict with another student from Rosalie’s dorm and ended up ignoring Rosalie altogether.During the college entrance exam, Lucinda did not perform well and scored lower than Rosalie. Rosalie got into a prestigious university, whereas Lucinda could only enroll in an ordinary university. They had not contacted each other for a long time after that.From what Rosalie had heard from other ex-classmates, Lucinda had badmouthed her for some time after the results were out. She was j

River smiled. “With me as your boyfriend, more people will be jealous of you. I’ll love you and treat you well forever, Rosalie.”The York men were all similarly loyal and dedicated to their wives. Once they got married, they would spoil their wives endlessly. Of course, they also had high standards when choosing their wives. While it seemed like they did not care about family background, all the women they married came from prominent families and had good characters. It was not easy to marry into the York family. Although the elders were open-minded, they were still particular about who joined their family. Grandma May had assessed six of River’s sisters-in-law. Their character, capability, background, and connections had passed the test, and they were of equal social status to the York family.Rosalie smiled and said, “We aren’t that close yet, River. Let’s talk about this again in the future.“Let’s go. I’m done with work. Didn’t you want to buy me dinner? We can watch

Alrick tapped Rosalie’s forehead. He said, “It doesn’t have to be a present. You can get the butler to cook something and bring it over to River.“Showing your care through small things in life is more useful than giving a present.”Rosalie thought about it and said, “I’ll try it out one day.“It’s late, Grandpa. I’ll help you return to your room to rest.”Alrick nodded. Rosalie supported him as they walked back to his room. She even said, “You can just give me a call for a small matter like this in the future. You don’t have to wait for me.”“This isn’t a small matter. It concerns your marriage and happiness.“I’ll be at ease after you and Damian build your own families. Your cousins are easier to handle than you two. Some of them are even already dating, so I don’t have to worry as much.“Only you and Damian are stubborn and single till now. That’s why your younger cousins aren’t in a rush to get married either.”One of Alrick’s grandsons had already been dating his girlfri
