ire’s sharp response rendered Eloise wordless. Looking awkward, Eloise couldn’t believe ire was still straightforward and didn’t care about her feelings.


    However, she was Finnley’s younger sister, so Eloise didn’t want to offend her.


    With a smile, she shifted the topic in another direction. “ire, I found another old man who will celebrate his birthday here today.”


    “He’s my grandfather’s colleague in the army. They experienced life and death together. Although they were born on the same day of the same year. More than 50 years ago, they had decided to celebrate their 80-year-old birthday together.” ire sipped her milk.


    Eloise nodded thoughtfully. “I see. Will the other man’s familye to the banquet as well?”


    “Of course.” ire nced at her and reminded her, “You’d better stop dreaming about winning Finnley’s heart by just a birthday banquet. If he doesn’t care about the Calder family, he won’t mind disgracing you guys in others’ presence.”


    Her words made Eloise’s face turn livid and pale in turns.


    ire raised her head and gulped down all the milk in one go. “Nice milk.” Then she called a maid nearby, “Cara, another ss of milk, please.”


    “OK, Lady ire.”C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.


    Eloise was jealous. ire wasn’t Finnley’s biological sister, but she was treated as the biological daughter of Finnley’s parents.


    In the European-styled vi, the warm sunshine fell through the floor-to-ceiling window.


    Pierre pulled Albert to a huge lounge. They sat on the couch.


    With a smile, Pierre passed an agreement to him. “I look forward to our cooperation in the following six months. Wish our rtionship will progress further.”


    Albert wore a light-gray suit, the cut and color tone of which was different from a traditional suit, looking unique.


    He looked at the agreement with a smile and understood what Pierre implied.


    Since they were alone in the lounge, Albert replied, “Pierre, it’ll be wonderful if our rtionship progresses further. Like you, I also expect my son to marry your daughter. After all, we have known each other for years. Ain’t it nice?”


    “Of course.” Pierre picked up his coffee mug and sipped.


    Albert continued, “To fight against this engagement, Finnley is still unwilling to inherit mypany. He obtained two doctor’s degrees from the first-ranking university in the world when he was 22. After returning from broad, he worked for anotherpany. In the past four years, I’ve thought it through. It’s his own marriage, so he must decide by himself.”


    His words almost faded the smile off Pierre’s face.


    However, Pierre retorted, “Marriage isn’t just a game. Albert, your son is outstanding, but he has no experience in love.”


    As he spoke, he carefully studied Albert’s expression. Then he added, “You should know the divorce rate has risen in recent years. If Finnley married Eloise, we could help them solve their problems once they had conflicts. What do you think?”


    Albert didn’t reply to him. He had told Pierre about his opinion on Finnley’s marriage.


    Staring at the agreement on the table, Albert added, “If Finnley refuses to help me, I’ll be too exhausted. I still have several projects in hand in the next six months. So far, I don’t have any ns to start new projects.”


    He implied that he would reject the cooperation.


    Pierre felt weird, wondering if their friendship would end because of the marriage proposal.


    “Eloise loves Finnley truly, Albert,” Pierre emphasized. As a loving father, he still wanted to try hard for his daughter. “Can you ask Finnley to date her first?”
