Chapter 417 A Rival


    “Agatha, Darcy and Kaze have been together for a while. You know our situation. I couldn’t share much


    with you.”


    Agnes left out the part where Darcy and Kaze were married.


    Her rtionship with her family was estranged.


    Nevertheless, Agnes dreaded the awkwardness of lunch if she had to tell her sister’s family she had


    not invited them to Darcy’s and Kaze’s wedding.


    She would have to save the news untilter.


    “Oh. Kaze, was it? I’m Darcy’s aunt.”


    Agatha checked Kaze out with an awkward look on her face.


    She was going to introduce a man to her niece. In fact, Agatha had brought the man with them. It was


    the other young man in the room.


    “Hello, Nelson, Agatha, Landon, Rose. Nice to meet you all.”


    Kaze said hello to Agatha’s family. Darcy had let him know their


    names before they arrived at the hotel.


    Nelson Oceanid worked at the strategic department and was a man


    of few words. He simply nodded in response.


    Rose and Landon were around Sky’s age, and Landon was the youngest of the bunch.


    Though Rose acknowledged Kaze courteously, her demeanor was

    distant.


    Landon scoffed and sized Kaze up. “You don’t have the looks or the taste in clothes. You have nothing


    on Kiev. How did you manage to


    persuade Darcy to date you?”


    Kaze had no idea what Landon was talking about.


    He nced at the young man sitting nearby.


    The young man must be the guy Landon was referring to.


    Sky red at Landon and said, “Don’t be ridiculous, Landon. What’s the point of having looks or taste


    in clothes? Kaze is an exceptional man. He doesn’t need the superficial stuff.”


    Since Kaze had reached God’s status in Sky’s eyes, Sky could not stand anybody belittling him.


    Landon snapped back. “Kiev graduated from an Ivy League school. His family is wealthy, and his father


    is my dad’s superior. You should see his family estate. I think Kiev is the perfect match for Darcy.”


    “A perfect match, my ass! Darcy is my sister, not yours. You don’t get to say who she is made for. I do.


    Worry about your own sister.”


    If the adults were not around, Sky would get right in Landon’s face.


    The families were amused by the spat between the kids.


    Thump!


    Darcy smacked the back of Sky’s head. “You can’t decide who is for me either. Stop arguing. We


    haven’t seen Landon in a long time. He was your favorite ydate when you were kids. Why are you


    fighting?”


    “I don’t want to hang around a snob.”


    Sky scoffed.


    Landon wanted to talk back, but Kiev held him back. “Stop


    Tension in the room eased.


    “Kiev is right. No wonder you didn’t want your family’s support when you returned from your studies


    abroad. You started your own


    millions. If only my son is as motivated as you,” Agatha said with a


    smile.


    While talking, Agatha turned to Darcy. “Do you still remember Kiev, Darcy? You used to y with the


    kids in thepound of your uncle’s quarters when you visited as a child. Kiev would drive those


    bullies away.”


    “I do,” Darcy responded. It happened a long time ago.


    “It’s been over ten years, Darcy. Nice to see you again.”


    Kiev got up and added with a smile, “I remember when you visited your aunt’s family during the


    summer holidays. Thanks for tutoring me back then. I thought you were smart and kind at the time, and


    now you have grown to be an even more amazing woman.”


    “Thank you.”


    Darcy reached out for a handshake.


    Kiev was part of her fond memory from her worry-free childhood, so


    she took to him.


    Kaze frowned.


    Kiev seemed interested in his wife.
