When Agnes slowly walked up to him in a mauve, off-shoulder dress, the fitted design showcased her perfect figure beautifully.
Neal's heart skipped a beat. His face was full of excitement that he couldn't hide.
"You even came to pick me up?" Agnes said with a sweet smile.
That smile nearly melted Neal's heart. The tips of his ears turned a little red as he handed her the bouquet in his hands.
He chuckled softly. "I had to make sure you'd come. You... look really beautiful today, Agnes."
Agnes laughed. "Mr. Ruell, you're still as smooth-talking as ever.
"Today's your birthday. Since when does the birthday boy pick up guests? I could've come by myself."
Neal smiled. "I was worried about you. Come on, I'm already here anyway."
By the time they arrived, the Ruell Villa's main hall was already full of guests.
Neal stayed by Agnes's side as they warmly greeted people together.
When Emily saw Agnes arrive, she quickly walked over with a big smile and warmly held her hand.
"Agnes, you came! Oh, I'm so happy you're here.
"I know I went too far before. Please don't take it to heart.
"I was just too anxious back then. Let me apologize to you again."
Agnes smiled politely. "It's okay, Mrs. Emily. I understand. I didn't take it personally."
Emily nodded with relief. "That's good. Come, let me introduce you to some people."
As she spoke, Emily pulled Agnes along to meet her close friends.
Neal quietly followed behind them. Emily stopped walking, then turned to him and said, "Stop following us already. Don't you trust me? I'm your mom! I'll take good care of Agnes. Go take care of your guests."
Neal looked at Agnes, and she gave him a small nod.
Seeing how warmly his mother treated Agnes, he finally left.
Emily held Agnes's hand and brought her over to a group of wealthy socialites, warmly introducing her.
"Everyone, this is Agnes Sinclair. She's a friend of my son's."
Agnes smiled politely. "Hello, ladies."
The women all smiled and greeted her back.
"Oh my, Ms. Sinclair is so beautiful. Being young is wonderful..."
"Of course! Mr. Ruell is such an outstanding man. Of course, there wouldn't be anyone plain around him. Mrs. Emily, you're truly lucky!"
