Chapter 737
Mike remained composed and stretched his hand out toward Larissa with a smile. “Nice to meet you, Larissa.”
“Nice to meel you too.” Larissa shook his hand.
Seizing his chance, Gary excused himself and gave them some privacy.
Larissa felt awkward.
Mike picked up two glasses of champagne from the table and gave Larissa one. “Care for a drink?”
Larissa took it and said. “Thank you”
“Seems like M. Logan wants to matchmake us.”
Mike rested on the edge of the table and stared as Gary weaved among the crowd.
Larissa almost choked as she didn’t expect him to be so direct

Sipping some champagne, Larissa sighed.
“All parents are like that,” Mike said with a chuckle. “My parents are always pressuring me lo gel married. I was
forced to attend today’s banquet as well bul He turned to stare at Larissa. It was fortunate that I came, or I
wouldn’t have had the pleasure of meeting you.”

Larissa guessed that this was the reason why her father had taken
“Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Young.” Larissa clinked her glass with his. “It’s my pleasure to know you as

Gary stood at a distance and observed Larissa’s expression.
Seeing that she seemed receptive to Mike, Gary told Lewis, “See, I told you she would like Mike.”
Lew’s remained silent with a grave expression on his face.
“The issue with Larissa is that she’s encountered too few men! Otherwise, how would she be charmed by a man like

Gary’s eyes were filled with joy and his words sounded a little smug. When he spoke about Kevan, he curled his lips

“Iraised you after all. Compared to Larissa. I know you like the back of my hand. Do you think your true thoughts
could escape my nolice?” Gary teased him.
Lewis lowered his head.
“I can see how well Kevan treats Lari, but his family background is too complicated.” Gary composed himself and
spoke sternly. “He’s not suitable for Lari, in comparison, Mike is just right. The Young family is well–ofl and they don’t

“What if Lari insists on marrying Kevan?” Lewis mustered the courage to ask the burning question he had kept for a
long time.
Gary’s expression changed and his eyes turned coc. All signs of him being drunk disappeared, “I will make her
change her mind,”
