Sky Restaurant.

The moment Eunice linked arms with Arabella and made an entrance, heads turned.

Her beauty alone was enough to draw the eye, but her status as "Mrs. Griffith" made her shine like a star among the crowd.

The restaurant manager, spotting her arrival, hurried over. "Mrs. Griffith, it's been too long! We've been on pins and needles since

your last visit, wracking our brains over what we might've done wrong. Seeing you here today is such a joy. You've finally come

back!"

"Oh, Mr. Morrison, you're still the king of sweet talk” Eunice said with a chuckle, well accustomed to his flattery.

Mr. Morrison laughed, “Mrs. Griffith, we genuinely value your dining experience. It's such a rare pleasure to host you. I'll have the

place cleared and redecorated in a jiffy. If you and this young lady could kindly wait a moment..."

“No need for all that fuss. We're here to eat, not to cause a scene. Just find us a table with a view, Eunice replied with sensible

grace.

“But wouldn't that be a disservice to you and the young lady here?" Mr. Morrison seemed troubled.

“What, you can't arrange that?" Eunice's tone suddenly took on an authoritative edge.

"No, no, not at all! We can arrange it right away. Mrs. Griffith, this way please, Mr. Morrison stammered, almost intimidated by her

commanding presence, and promptly led the way.

Eunice turned to Arabella with a softer look and smile, "A window seat offers just as lovely a view of the city's nightscape.”

"| agree; Arabella said, seeing no need for a private area.

Appreciation and approval flickered in Eunice's eyes as she regarded her niece.

Mr. Morrison pulled out chairs for them, standing by respectfully, “Mrs. Griffith, will have the usual, or would you like to try sof

the new dishes our chefs have been raving about?"

"Let my niece decide, Eunice tilted her chin up slightly, exuding cool elegance.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Morrison realized the girl's identity—she was Bard and Eunice's niece?

Oh dear.

What an oversight!

"I had no idea we were hosting your niece, this table arrangement is far too casual. | see the neighboring tables are almost done.

Perhaps | could clear this area and install a glass partition for more privacy, so you and your niece can chat freely without any

concern."

“That won't be necessary; Eunice and Arabella said in unison, clearly not interested in disturbing the other diners.

Mr. Morrison didn't expect them to be so alike in speech and temperament. He quickly added, "Then | must insist on sending over a

few extra dishes later. We've truly neglected your needs today!"

“Bella, see anything you fancy?" Eunice's gaze fell on Bella across from her.

Her fresh, unpretentious beauty stood out, her face radiantly delicate, while a lotus-like elegance seemed to emanate from her.

Many a well-heeled gentleman in the vicinity couldn't help but steal glances.

Indeed, she was a Collins, flawless in looks and grace.
