"My friend invitedout for a midnight snack," Abby said casually, masking the truth from her mother.

She hadn't gone out for food. In reality, she'd been tracking down the thief-but she couldn't admit that. She

especially didn't want her mother to know that Evan had been the one trying to climb over their wall. It would

only tarnish her mother's high opinion of him. Mrs. Du had met Evan during his deliberate attempts to get close

to Abby. Knowing he was the fourth young master of the prestigious York family in Wiltspoon had impressed her,

and she'd spoken highly of both him and his family.

Her mother's glowing endorsement had made Abby reconsider her feelings toward Evan. Everyone in the family

seemed to think he was a perfect match, and she'd started to wonder if they were right.

But just as she began to open her heart to him, Evan had bluntly told her that despite trying for months, he

simply couldn't fall in love with her.

Mrs. Du tilted her head, unconvinced by Abby's excuse. "You don't usually go out for midnight snacks. What were

you craving so badly that you had to leave the house in this freezing weather? Why not eat at home?"

"Mom, it's not that cold. We have heating, and | had something warm to eat while | was out. Normally, | don't eat

late because I'm afraid it'll affect my sleep and makesluggish at work the next day. But I'm on vacation now,

so it's nice to relax, catch up with friends, and indulge a little," Abby replied, her tone light and reassuring.

Mrs. Du let the subject drop but asked, "Are your friends all married?"

Abby shook her head. "No, not all of them."

"We're rich, beautiful, and smart-why should we settle down and give up our freedom so soon?" Mrs. Du said, a

playful smile tugging at her lips. "Once you're married, your carefree days are over."

Abby braced herself. She knew where this conversation was heading.

Ever since Abby returned from Wiltspoon heartbroken over Evan's rejection, her mother had been on a mission.

Angry that Evan had hurt her daughter, Mrs. Du had vowed to find someone even better for Abby. She'd been

dropping not-so-subtle hints about marriage ever since. "After the New Year, you're one year older," Mrs. Du

added with a knowing glance as they walked toward her room.

"Mom," Abby sighed, "I'm only in my twenties. I'm still young. | have plenty of tto think about marriage." She

anticipated what her mother would say next and quickly added, "I know you really liked Evan, but he doesn't like

me. What's the point of holding on to that? "As long as he had even a little feeling for me, | wouldn't have given

up. But Mom, your daughter is amazing. Do you really wantthrowing myself at someone who doesn't want

me? It's not like | can't find a good man. If | wanted to get married tomorrow, there'd be a line of great guys

ready to say yes."

Mrs. Du smiled warmly. "You're absolutely right. Our Abby is incredible. Evan must be blind not to see it. Mark my

words-one day, he'll regret letting you go. And when that day comes, you mustn't take him back."

Abby laughed softly. "Mom, we live thousands of miles apart. It's unlikely we'll even cross paths again. Besides,

he already has someone he cares about.

"Anyway, it's late. Go to bed. For the New Year gifts to our relatives and friends, just arrange for someone else to

deliver them. You don't need to exhaust yourself running around."

Mrs. Du nodded. "I know. You should get srest too."

Standing outside Mrs. Du's room, the mother and daughter exchanged a final smile before parting ways for the

night.
