Leander casually chose an empty table and sat down. Only Autumn remained beside him. Compared to the surrounding businessmen who were busy networking and exchanging polite conversation, his table looked unusually quiet and completely out of place.

He did not mind at all. He took a cocktail from a passing server’s tray, sipping it slowly as he calmly observed everything around him.

Autumn wanted to chat with him more. The closer her relationship with Leander became, the more beneficial it would be for her. Unfortunately, every topic she tried to start was gently brushed aside by a few casual replies from him, leaving her quietly frustrated.

After about ten minutes, two figures appeared at the entrance of the Sitwell Residence. Linden walked forward in a black suit with confident strides, while Monica, dressed in a light purple evening gown, held his arm. The couple moved in perfect step, clearly affectionate.

“Oh, Mr. Sitwell! Mr. Sitwell!”

The moment Linden and Monica appeared, the guests who had been chatting among themselves immediately stood and greeted them warmly.

Linden and Monica responded one by one with smiles. Today was Yvette’s birthday, and seeing so many people come to celebrate their daughter naturally filled them with joy.

After greeting several guests, the couple arrived at the table where the bespectacled young man sat.

The middle–aged man stood first and shook Linden’s hand.

Linden’s attitude toward him was noticeably more formal than before as he spoke politely.

“Mr. Hayek, your presence at my daughter’s birthday celebration truly honors our home.”

The middle–aged man waved his hands repeatedly, smiling broadly.

“Mr. Sitwell, you are too kind. We have been friends for years. Your daughter is practically like my own. Of course, I would come to celebrate her birthday.”

After speaking, he signaled to the young man beside him.

“Thiago, hurry and greet Mr. Sitwell.”

The young man stepped forward at once, bowing slightly with a respectful tone.

“Mr. Sitwell, Mrs. Sitwell, it is a pleasure seeing you again. Please accept my greetings.”

Linden laughed heartily and patted his shoulder.

“Thiago, you are too polite. Your father and I go way back. Treat this place like your own home. No need to be formal.”

Monica also smiled and nodded.

“Thiago, at such a young age, you are already serving as CEO in your father’s company and managing Eccho Group’s Ravenridge

division on your own. That is very impressive.”

“One of these days, I should send some of Sitwell Group’s managers to learn from you.”

Thiago felt pleased inside but maintained a modest smile.

“You flatter me, Aunt Monica. When it comes to experience, I still have much to learn from Mr. Sitwell. Under his leadership, Sitwell Group has truly flourished. If I can achieve even half of Mr. Sitwell’s accomplishments someday, I will be satisfied.”

“Haha!”

Linden and Monica laughed together. They naturally appreciated a young man who appeared both humble and ambitious.

Mr. Hayek suddenly spoke again.

“By the way, Mr. Sitwell, I do have a favor to ask today.”

He gestured toward Thiago and said sincerely,

“The last time your daughter joined us for dinner at the Valmont Promenade, she met my rather useless son here. Since then, Thiago keeps talking about when he might see Yvette again.”

“This is the first time in 24 years my son has shown interest in a girl. I will speak frankly. I simply hope you can properly introduce the two of them later.”

Both Linden and Mr. Hayek were seasoned veterans of the business world. After only a few sentences, Linden and Monica fully understood his intention.

The couple exchanged a glance, their expressions unchanged. Linden replied calmly,

“Mr. Hayek, introducing them is no problem. But how young people choose to get along should be left to them. That is not something we can decide.”

The man’s eyes brightened.

“Of course, of course!”

Thiago also felt secretly delighted, believing Linden had already approved of him pursuing Yvette. He failed to notice the subtle shift in Linden and Monica’s expressions.

After finishing their greetings, Linden and Monica moved past the guest tables. Monica glanced back toward Thiago’s table, her expression turning noticeably colder.

“That Endimion actually tried promoting his son right in front of us. He clearly wants Yvette as his daughter–in–law. Not happening!”

Knowing his wife’s thoughts, Linden still asked deliberately,

“Thiago Hayek is considered one of high society’s rising elites. He has led Eccho Group’s Ravenridge division very successfully and was recently named one of Mornwick’s Top Ten Outstanding Young Professionals. Eccho Group’s scale is no weaker than Sitwell Group’s. He is more than qualified for Yvette. Why do you still dislike him?

I think Thiago is quite decent. Letting Yvette spend time with him would not hurt.”

Monica immediately slapped his arm lightly.

“Do not start matchmaking randomly!”

Her gaze shifted as she remembered the young man who once stood alone against the Feng family in Listin and Grove.

“In my heart, only Leander qualifies as our future son–in–law. Unless Leander gets married and starts a family, I will never agree to Yvette being with anyone else!”

“And you cannot tell that Yvette is completely devoted to him? Asking her to date someone else makes you sound senile.”

Linden shook his head helplessly after being scolded, though he understood perfectly.

Ever since Leander saved Sitwell Group by overturning the family crisis, Linden had already regarded him as both a great benefactor and the ideal son–in–law. No matter how outstanding others might be, none of them could compare to him.

Monica suddenly sighed, her expression turning wistful. “I wonder where that child Leander is now.”

Linden paused slightly before shaking his head.

“Leander rules Mornwick, and his identity and strength place him far beyond ordinary limits. His vision has long surpassed this city. The entire nation, even the world, is his stage now.”

“At his level, he may still care about us, but naturally less than before. He has already done more than enough for our family. What more can we ask for?

“I only hope everything goes smoothly for him and that he continues rising without obstacle.

Monica nodded, her melancholy deepening.

“It has been almost eight months since we last saw him. Not even one phone call. I do not dare call him either, afraid of disturbing hím. Tell me… has he already forgotten about us?”

Before Linden could respond, a voice suddenly sounded beside them.

“Mrs. Sitwell, whether it has been eight months or eight years, I could never forget you.”

The couple instantly froze,
