“You said you’d be back for dinner tonight. Look at the time now. Are you still not coming home?”

Mrs. Lewis urged her son, “Hurry up and come home. Lily cooked you some of her best dishes. I tasted them, and they’re delicious. They’re on par with dishes by a five-star hotel chef.”

“Mom, I’m not going back for dinner. I’m not done with things yet. You and Ms. Harmon can dine together. Mom, Msr. Harmon is a guest in our house, so don’t make her cook. That’s poor hospitality.”

Mrs. Lewis frowned. “You’re not done with things yet? Even if that’s the case, you still have to eat. It’s dark now, so come home to eat first. You can continue to work after dinner.”

“Mom, I’ve eaten. I ate outside.”

Mrs. Lewis responded, “Lily made a lot of food…”

“You’re blessed with delicious food.”

Mrs. Lewis choked.

She was almost pissed off by her son.

Mrs. Lewis tried so hard to create opportunities for her son, but he either avoided them or found excuses to turn them down.

    Indeed, Clive did not know who Lana was.Stone Group was so big, and only the upper management regularly reported to Clive.Clive would not pay attention to middle management like Lana unless they had achieved particularly remarkable results.Anthony, however, was different. He had been forced to come back and help out the family business. He was not as capable as Clive was, so he preferred mixing with the middle management and the entry-level employees.He would definitely know.“You can ask whoever. She works at your family company, so just a little asking around should be able to tell me what her character’s like.“Don’t forget to sneak a candid picture of her.”Camryn wanted to know what Lana looked like so that she could see if Lana was a match for her brother.“Oh, if that’s the case, then forget it. I’ll stop by the office tomorrow and help you ask around myself.”Both her older brothers were married. If she asked Anthony to sneak a picture of a female employee, her sis

    Lana replied, [Let’s talk about it when the time comes. I haven’t even confessed my feelings yet, so I need to be more confident. Maybe I really can win him over.][Exactly. We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. I believe you can win over Trenton, too, so break a leg.[He said he’ll pick you up in the evening and take you out to dinner, so just act like nothing happened and go out to dinner with him.]Lana smiled and replied, [I know.]Her feelings were deeply hidden, too, and Trenton probably had not noticed her affection for him.Meanwhile, back at Wildridge Manor, Serenity and several of her sisters-in-law were sitting by the indoor swimming pool, watching their husbands teach the children how to swim.They were Heath, Jace, Jax, and Xavier. Two were six years old, and two were five.Mainly because it was too hot, the children wanted to play in the water in the afternoon.Thus, Serenity asked her husband to bring their son swimming and teach him how to swim at the same

    [But his sister refused, and he didn't even try to speak up for me. That means I don’t mean that much to him, doesn’t it?]Lana did not feel confident.After all, Trenton kept his feelings deeply hidden, rarely letting anyone even have a peek at them.[I’m sure his sister had her reasons for refusing. After all, that’s the Yorks’ ancestral home, and the Yorks value privacy. His sister isn’t the matriarch of the household, so she can’t just agree to something like that. Besides, she doesn’t even know you, so how could she just let you visit her in-laws’ home?[Plus, you weren’t there. How do you know he didn’t try to speak up for you? Did he say anything else after telling you that?][He said he was sorry for not being able to take me to Wildridge Manor and offered to treat me to a meal.][If that’s the case, Lana, I think there’s still some hope. Don’t give up. You’ve liked him for so many years. How could you bear to give up now?[Think about it. Over the years, you’ve been the

    Everyone said that Wildridge Manor was more beautiful than any scenic spot in Wiltspoon.Lana really wanted to visit Wildridge Manor, partly to test whether Trenton felt anything special for her.Wildridge Manor was the Yorks’ ancestral home and was naturally not open to the public. For an outsider to be able to visit it once would be something to boast about for a long time.If Trenton agreed to take her to visit Wildridge Manor, it meant he trusted her deeply, and she held an important place in his heart—that meant he had to have feelings for her.Trenton might have seemed like a very warm and gentle person, but in reality, he was guarded toward everyone. There was an invisible wall between himself and others that he rarely allowed anyone to cross.Lana understood him, knowing that his guarded nature stemmed from his tragic family history, making him reluctant to trust anyone easily.Over the years she had known him, many girls had admired and pursued him, but no one had ever b

    “It’s okay, I was asking too much.”Lana was a little disappointed, but she understood.If she were in Camryn’s shoes, she would refuse a complete stranger she did not know or understand who asked to visit her home, either.“Lana, are you free tonight? I’ll treat you to dinner to make it up to you.”Trenton felt guilty for not being able to fulfill Lana’s first request, so he wanted to treat her to dinner.He also wanted to test whether Lana had any feelings for him.“It was an unreasonable ask anyway. You don’t have to feel guilty or make it up to me. I’d be happy to go out to dinner with you, though. Are you picking me up later, or should I call an Uber?”Lana did not own a car. She usually took the subway to work because it was convenient and she could avoid traffic jams.Wiltspoon was a big city, and during rush hour, the traffic was absolutely terrible.Lana’s apartment was close to the subway station, so she took the subway to work, which was quick and convenient.“I’ll

    After a moment of silence, Camryn said, “She might be my biological mother, and we are quite similar, but she never saw me as her daughter. What little love I had for her gradually disappeared as she abused me.”As a child, Camryn longed for her mother's love.Her mother, however, did not like her, did not take care of her, and even abused her.There used to be a nanny who would protect her, but Paige fired all the nannies, leaving Camryn with no one to protect her.It was not until her brother Trenton could walk and talk that he began to protect her, preventing her from being abused to death.As a child, she constantly sought reasons why her mother did not like her. Was it because she was disobedient?She was very obedient, though, and went out of her way to please her mother.No matter what and how well she did, though, her mother did not like her. Paige’s only response was to hit and scold her, wishing she could strangle her to death.Her mother had indeed choked her countle
