“Plenty of men put on their best behavior when pursuing a woman, only to change completely once they’ve succeeded.“Time will tell. Only with time can we see his true colors.“Most importantly, it depends on whether Rosalie’s serious about it.”Back inside, they settled onto the sofa.Mrs. Lafayette said, “When I went upstairs earlier, Rosalie was still picking out her dress. That’s definitely unusual. Normally, for events, she just grabs any dress and heads out.“She’s never been this indecisive before. I want to say she’s doing this for Christian and trying to impress him by showing her best self, but I’m not entirely convinced.”No one knew a daughter better than her mother.Mrs. Lafayette understood her child well.“If not for Christian, then who? I’ve never heard of her liking anyone else. If she had someone in mind, my dad wouldn’t be so worried. Oh, darling, does this mean we’ve failed as parents?“My dad is eighty years old and still serving as chairman, overseeing maj

Rosalie had known her mother would not agree to come.“Your health regimen seems pretty effective. Once I retire, I’ll follow it too.”Mrs. Lafayette waved her off. “You’re still young. Retirement is decades away for you. Focus on your work for now.”By the time her children reached retirement age, she might not even be around anymore. It was a somber topic she preferred to avoid.The mother and daughter made their way downstairs together.Christian had been chatting with Mr. Lafayette for quite a while. The older man had gone on at length about his health routines, but Christian had listened patiently, occasionally chiming in with thoughtful remarks. Their conversation had actually been quite pleasant.Just from this brief exchange, Mr. Lafayette was already impressed with Christian.Most young people could not stand his ramblings about wellness, but Christian had not only listened attentively, but he had even asked for advice. Mr. Lafayette felt the young man seemed very pat

The only man who had managed to maintain a connection with her daughter all these years was River, that sworn rival of hers. Mrs. Lafayette sighed inwardly.“Rosalie, Christian is a good man. He’s got a good temper, too. Try to get along with him. If things go well after some time, just marry him. Our families are already acquainted anyway.“If you marry him, our whole family will rest easy. He lives close by, too. If the Jacques family ever dares to bully you, we’ll be right there to stand up for you.”Rosalie replied, “If Christian dares to mess with me, I’ll beat him up first. I’ll smash his head in and teach him a lesson!”Mrs. Lafayette was at a loss for words.This daughter of hers was a little too fierce.No wonder ordinary men did not dare pursue her.“Alright, you should go downstairs. Don’t keep Christian waiting. Oh, and tonight at the banquet. Don’t get drunk. I’ve already told Christian to keep an eye on you.“You’re a bad drunk and you keep flirting with handsome

“Alright, alright, I won’t say any more.”Seeing her daughter’s exasperated expression, Mrs. Lafayette chuckled and focused on applying her makeup with extra care.Once she was done, she examined her handiwork with satisfaction and praised, “My daughter is already so beautiful that with a touch of makeup, you look absolutely divine.”“Mom, you should say I look divine without makeup. If you only say that after I’ve put on makeup, doesn’t that imply my beauty depends on it?”Rosalie studied her reflection. Her mother’s makeup skills were slightly better than hers, though it was no surprise, given her mother’s elegance and poise that had been honed for a lifetime.“My daughter is stunning with or without makeup, enough to charm a truckload of men.”Mrs. Lafayette then asked, “Which set of jewelry are you wearing tonight?”“Something simple. I don’t like anything too flashy. Honestly, I’m already this gorgeous, so jewelry or not, I’ll still look amazing. My elegance is innate; I do

“Ugh, I wish I could just wear a suit like usual. It would be so much easier.“Evening gowns always make me feel uncomfortable.”“Nonsense! It’s not like this is your first time wearing one. You look good in anything. Just go with this one. It’s gorgeous. Go change, and let me see how it looks.”Under her mother’s insistence, Rosalie had no choice but to take the white evening gown into the bathroom to change.A moment later, she emerged and asked, “Mom, how do I look?”“Beautiful, absolutely beautiful! Come, sit here. Let me do your makeup. Just a light touch to make you even more stunning. You’ll be the most beautiful woman there tonight.”Mrs. Lafayette was an elegant and dignified woman. Truthfully, she had never been entirely satisfied with her daughter’s usual level of makeup. It was always too understated, almost like she was not wearing any at all.However, her daughter was grown now, and unless Rosalie specifically asked for her opinion, she would not interfere.Rosali

It was not easy to find a man her daughter was even slightly satisfied with and was willing to develop a relationship with. They could not afford to scare Christian away.Christian asked, “Mrs. Lafayette, what did you say?”Mrs. Lafayette grew even more embarrassed, her voice lowering slightly. “R-Rosalie really likes to hit on handsome men when she’s drunk.”“But s-she rarely gets drunk! As long as you keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn’t overdo it, it’ll be fine.”In her twenty-nine years of life, Rosalie had only been drunk twice.Both times, she had shamelessly flirted with some handsome men and scared them off.Once she had sobered up, she could not remember a thing.If there were no handsome men around to hit on, she would even turn her attention to her best girlfriends.Christian was speechless for a moment before he said, “...I really can’t imagine Rosalie flirting with men when she’s drunk.”Actually, he kind of wanted to see what Rosalie was like when intoxic
