Meeting each other was never really out of the blue.


    "Yes, Randell''s always had you on his mind," Wird said subtly.


    In fact, anyone close to Randell knew about his foster sister in Imperial City. They weren''t rted by blood, but his care for her was evident to all.


    Some even spected that Randell had feelings for her.


    Randell never denied such rumors.


    Initially, Wird was merely curious about the woman who upied Randell''s thoughts.


    Later, as he got to know Randell better, he identally saw a photo of them together on Randell''s phone.


    It appeared to be an old photo.


    The young man was handsome and tall, while the girl beside him was like a budding flower, fair and slender, her eyes sparkling like stars in the night sky. With just a nce, Wird found himself captivated for years.


    When he learned that Brittany had gotten married, he let go of any thoughts he had.


    Yet, fate had its ways, and here they were, sitting together again, this time as potential partners.


    Wird kept these thoughts to himself.


    He didn''t want to pressure Brittany with these stories.


    Hearing about his close rtionship with Randell made Brittany shed some of her initial reservations.


    "My father must have told you about my situation."


    "I have a son, and he''ll be staying with me. If Mr. Wird minds-"


    "I don''t mind," Wird interrupted, shaking his head. "Sitting here means I''m quite taken with Ms. Lte, and I look forward to getting to know her better."


    How could he mind, especially now that he had the chance to get to know Brittany?


    Brittany breathed a sigh of relief. Wird came from a family of schrs and gentlemen.


    He was exceedingly polite and considerate throughout dinner, and they found themselves deeply engaged in conversation.


    At the end, Wird dropped Brittany off at the Lte residence.


    Before she got out of the car, Wird handed


    exhibiter an invitation to a jewelry


    exhibition: "Ms. Lte, are you free this weekend? This exhibition is well worth a visit."


    "Sure, I''ll see you then," Brittany happily agreed.


    Watching her ept the invitation, Wird couldn''t hide his joy: "See you this weekend."


    After watching Wird leave, Brittany walked into the living room, where Yuri was waiting: "How did it go with Wird?"


    Brittany smiled, "Mr. Wird is kind and considerate, a truly good man."


    Yet, she didn''t feel that spark of excitement.


    "That''s good to hear. It wouldn''t hurtContent ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    to get to know Wird better. If


    things work out, it would put your father at ease."


    Brittany reassured her father before heading upstairs.


    After a shower, she came out to find Daniel sitting with a puzzled look, holding the invitation to the jewelry exhibition. "Mom, did you go on a date?"


    He was holding onto the same invitation.


    Wasn''t mom waiting for dad to return?


    Brittany, recalling her own promise, quickly took the invitation from him and ced it aside: "You heard about that?"


    "Mom, don''t you like Dad anymore?"


    Brittany knelt down: "I don''t even know what your dad looks like..."


    She felt a twinge of resentment, frustrated that Daniel''s father had never appeared, making her

    Daniel instinctively reached for his smartwatch to show her Isaac''s photo but remembered his father''s caution and stopped. Brittany pinched his cheek: "Don''t worry, I promise to find you a good dad, okay?"


    Daniel was not satisfied, pushing Brittany away and returning to his room. Ignoring Isaac''s warning, he called him.


    As soon as Isaac picked up, Daniel couldn''t hold back: "Dad, if you don''te back soon, Mom''s going to marry another man!"
