Mrs. Harrington cast a meaningful nce at Mrs. York, her lips curving into a polite, perfunctory smile.


    Suddenly, Serena eximed, "Bro, you drop your fork?"


    Alexander looked somewhat pale and appeared to be in low spirits, "Oh. I didn''t notice. I''ll get another one."


    Mrs. Harrington said with concern, "You must be under a lot of work pressuretely. Always buried in work, you don''t even take care of yourself."


    Mrs. York sighed, "If you ask me, Alex should get a girlfriend. Being in a rtionship can really improve the quality of life. Look at Ty, he used to be just like that, but now he''s much better, even learns to take breaks."


    Tyrone was pleased, lightly teasing Quintessa''s nose, "Did you hear that? That''s apliment for you."Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    Quintessa blushed with a shy smile.


    Alexander felt a bit ufortable, "Right now, I haven''t thought much about it. Thew firm just started, so I need to focus on work first."


    "Oh dear, I''ve told him a hundred times. The main problem is that our Alex is too picky. He doesn''t fancy ordinary girls. In this regard, he can''tpare to Ty. I mean as long as a girl is kind and sensible, why be so picky?"


    Mrs. York clenched her teeth internally. Mrs. Harrington''s habit of always trying to one-up others hadn''t changed over the years, always positioning herself and her family as somehow superior.


    Her remark about Alexander being picky and not satisfied with ordinary girls was a roundabout way of saying Tywasn''t discerning, implying that settling for someone like Quinn was easy. That was more than Mrs. York could bear. Content Mrs. York chuckled, "That''s true. My Ty was lucky have met such a good and beautiful girl like Quinn. He acted fast to win her over. Not everyone can match up to our Quinn." Quintessa felt ttered, questioning if she was the same as Mrs. York were talking about.


    Despite multiple rebuffs, Mrs. Harrington couldn''t gain the upper hand during the meal. As dinner concluded, she and her children left.


    Leaving the restaurant, Mrs. York teasingly asked, "Didn''t we agree to go for a skincare treatment this afternoon? Why not go?"


    Mrs. Harrington replied with a nod and a smile, "I remembered there''s something urgent at home, so I can''t make it. Let''s n it for another day."


    Once in the car, Mrs. York scoffed, "I knew her inviting us for dinner wasn''t without motive. Always pretending to be above worldly concerns, so pretentious."


    Quintessa was surprised. Mrs. York was typically non-confrontational so omments today indicated there herment must be some grievances between her and Mrs. Harrington.


    But considering Mrs. Harrington''s behavior, it was clear she must have deeply offended Mrs. York for her to react so strongly.


    Tyroneughed, "Don''t be angry, Mom. You were awesome today. Mrs. Harrington probably needs a couple coffee to calm down. Wait, is this really my mom? Suche intelligence, such eloquenced barely recognized you!"

    Mrs. York shot Tyrone a re, "Stop it. I''ve always been sharp. It''s just about teasing someone. Did youn really think! couldhte simply couldn''t be bothered with her before, but today she really provoked me. I wasn''t going to let her get away with it Besides, I might not engage with others, but her? Please."
