Chapter 607
Alessandra warmly greeted each villager and introduced Emmanuel and
Roselynn to them. It had been many years since they moved away from the
village with their father, and she was concerned that her children might not
remember them.
Indeed, Roselynn did not recall the villagers, and her lack of enthusiasm was
evident. However, Emmanuel’s memory was surprisingly sharp. Without any
prompting from Alessandra, he greeted the elders by name.
“Oh my, Manny, your memory is still so impressive!” At that moment,
Frederick’s grandmother emerged and warmly invited Emmanuel’s family to
visit her house.
Alessandra politely declined the invitation as she needed to return to the old
house to tidy up. Roselynn, too, did not want to get caught up in gossip with
the nosy villagers, feeling they would bombard her with intrusive questions.
-She decided it was best to steer clear of the villagers and accompany
Alessandra back to the old house.
On the other hand, Emmanuel was dragged into Frederick’s house, which was
bustling with relatives and neighbors. “Frederick, when are you planning to
get married?”
“Yeah, you’re already 29, aren’t you? When I was your age, I already had two
kids!”
“Do you have a partner or not?”
Watching a group of elders urging him to get married, Emmanuel could not
help but feel a sense of sympathy for his best friend, as he had experienced
the same pressure in the past. It was precisely why he had been hesitant to
return to the village for the New Year. The constant pressure and inquiries
from relatives and elders were too overwhelming.

Unexpectedly, Frederick raised his hand, gesturing for everyone to quiet
down. He then pulled out a laptop and a projector from his bag. He switched
on the device, revealing a prepared PowerPoint presentation.
