Chapter 1829


    Ellen was a little bewildered by the sight. Wasn’t she supposed to eat with Connor and his family? Why


    were there strangers here?


    She smiled politely and greeted, “Good to see you, Uncle Connor and Aunt Olivia.”


    “Ellie, here, let me introduce you to them.” Connor said to her, “This is my old friend, Murray Fuller, and


    beside him is his wife, Christina. And this man here is their son, Harvey Fuller.”


    Ellen gave the couple a courteous smile before ncing at the young man. “Nice to meet you.”


    “Wow, she’s gorgeous!” Christina praised, grinning from ear to ear.


    “Of course, she is. All of the girls in our family are pretty,” Olivia immediately replied.


    Harvey immediately got up to pour tea for Ellen, and she hurriedly thanked him. Ever since Ellen


    entered the room, Harvey’s eyes had been glued to her face. He thought his date today would be just


    an ordinary girl, but he didn’t expect the heavens to give him such a huge surprise.


    Ellen was one of the innocent yet pure girls whom he rarely saw. In particr, the sweet way she


    smiled put him in a better mood at first nce. Moreover, he had been informed about Ellen while he


    was on his way to the restaurant. She was a relocatee from Lockwood Vige, and she even had a


    small fortune. Who wouldn’t like a beautiful and wealthy woman?


    Just then, the dishes were served, and the two families ate while chatting. Ellen only had a few bites


    when she heard Connor’s voice. “Ellie is beautiful and kind-hearted, but she seems lonely from living


    alone for a while now.”


    Hearing that, Ellen hurriedly exined, “Uncle Connor, I’m doing good. I’m not lonely.”


    “Ellie, Connor just wants you to have someone to take care of you and protect you, to give you a


    shoulder to lean on,” Olivia said.


    Ellen’s heart skipped a beat as she had an epiphany. Did Connor invite her for a meal to set her up on


    a blind date? Was he trying to introduce her to a man?


    At that moment, Christina began to praise her son. “Harv really is the ideal man! He has the personality


    and looks, and he’s capable too. He’s definitely the best candidate as a boyfriend and a husband.”


    “Of course. He looks talented to me.” Although Olivia inwardly despised this family, she enthusiastically


    agreed with them on the surface.


    Instantly, Harvey took the initiative and said to Ellen, “Miss Reiss, do you mind if we exchange


    contacts? I heard that you’re working in Presgrave Group, and it so happens that I work nearby. I’m


    sure we can meet up for a cup of coffee next time.”


    She was about to refuse, but Olivia immediately picked up her phone and said, “Oh! I have Ellie’s


    phone number here. I’ll give it to you, so write it down!”


    Ellie felt helpless but didn’t have the nerves to lose her temper. Hence, she watched as Olivia gave


    Harvey her phone number, who happily called her afterward. “This is my number.”


    Without beating around the bush, Christina said, “Miss Reiss, I heard that you’ve been relocated.


    You’re so lucky! That ce used to be worth nothing, but I heard that many of the relocatees have


    be millionaires now!”


    Ellen gave her an awkward yet courteous smile.


    “Well, you’re not wrong about that. Ellie has always been lucky.” Olivia could tell that the Fullers were


    happy with Ellen, and she quickly added her two cents.


    After three sses of wine, Connor began to speak more bluntly, saying to Ellen, “Look, Ellie, I’m going


    to be


    honest with you. Murray has been my colleague for many years, and his son, Harvey, is a good boy, so


    I want to match you two together. Once you get married, both of our families will be inws and


    will be able to help each other out.”


    Ellen’s mind went nk, and she hurriedly waved her hands in disagreement. “Uncle Connor, I’m not


    looking to get into a rtionship any time soon, much less marriage.”

    “Oh sweetie, girls have to get married eventually! How nice is it to have someone you can rely on and


    who would take care of you?” Olivia cajoled from the side.


    Ellen’s face flushed red with anger. She deeply regretted showing up for this meal.


    “Miss Reiss, as long as you marry our son, we promise to treat you like our own daughter,” Christina


    added, expressing her sincerity.
