Vivian instructed the kitchen to prepare dinner, while Jeffrey sat in the side hall, Edward was making tea, and
Ryan and Fiona sat there like two strangers, with nothing to say to each other.
| could tell that even though Fiona had married the guy she liked, she still seemed trapped-the light in her eyes
was gone compared to last time.
She looked down at her phone, her expression forlorn.
Ryan was unusually quiet too; he tilted his head back, eyes closed, looking like he was trying to rest.
Edward was reporting sbusiness matters to Jeffrey, and the old man’s demeanor showed he had full
confidence in him.
Vivian walked in, and Jeffrey immediately stood up. “I picked up two calligraphy scrolls last time. Cupstairs
withand take a look.”
“Sure!” Vivian nodded.
And just like that, they headed upstairs, leaving the four of us in the side hall, staring at each other awkwardly.
| was about to go crazy from the stifling atmosphere. ‘Guess I'm just not built for this kind of misery,’ | thought to

“Uncle Edward, are you really going to marry her?” Ryan suddenly opened his eyes and looked straight at
Edward. “Did Victoria agree to this too?”
My eyes stiffened as | glanced at Edward. | distinctly remembered telling him we shouldn't think about marriage
for now, and he'd agreed.
With Ryan suddenly bringing it up, | couldn't help but wonder how Edward would answer.
Edward stared atwithout blinking and said, “I respect her wishes. Honestly, whether we get married or not,
as long as we're happy, that’s what matters.”
| stared at him in shock. ‘Is Edward really not hung up on getting married anymore?‘ | thought.
Ryan's lips curled into a smirk. “Guess we really do have the staste, growing up together.”
Edward's face went a little rigid.
Ryan went on, “I remember, it was always about the thrill of the hunt for us. Once it’s ours, it’s just not exciting
anymore.”
“Ryan,” Edward said, his face serious. “That's enough.”
I'd already taken Ryan's words to heart, ‘Isn't that just human nature?’ | thought.

Who can really say they've never thought about splitting up, even if they've been in love their whole life?
“She's clever as they come. Even if | kept my mouth shut, she'd still figure it out,” Ryan said, glancing over at
me.
| could tell Ryan wasn’t holding back anymore-he was straight-up trying to play the anti-ship card and break up
our couple.
Fiona looked more and more upset, but for sreason, it was like her voice didn’t really matter in the Jennings
family.
“Ryan, this is something Uncle Edward and Ms. Murphy need to figure out themselves. Why don’t you just stay
out of it?” Fiona said.
Ryan replied coolly, “This is Jennings family business.”
Fiona’s face went pale, and she fell silent immediately.
Watching Ryan's every word and action, the way he dominated the room, | knew their marriage was nothing but
a facade.
Fiona wasn’t about to just sit there and take it. She stood up and said, “I’m leaving. You stay for dinner.”
Ryan got up and went after her. He cback a few minutes later.
Looking out the window, | saw Fiona-it looked like she was wiping away a tear before climbing into the car.
When Ryan cback, he looked seriously pissed.
He didn’t bother coming back to the side hall-just stormed straight upstairs, and we all heard the door slam hard
from above.
My heart gave a jolt, and | glanced over at Edward.
Edward remained unfazed, cool as ever. “When’s he ever gonna get over that spoiled rich kid attitude?”
“Edward, | wanna head back to Hachester after dinner,” | said, feeling like I'd really stirred up a storm in this
family,
“Why the rush to leave? You just got here-stay a couple more days,” Edward said.
“No way, I've got work to do,” | insisted.
Edward just stared atfor a moment. “You're impossible, you know that?”
Dinner had already started by the tRyan finally made his way downstairs, taking his sweet tas if nothing
could rush him.

He'd just taken a shower and changed into a black T-shirt, looking sharp and refreshed, but those dark, intense
