Regina said, “How about I stay here with you, and you two go on your date?”
Medea knew that Regina was giving her an opportunity, so she smoothly accepted, “Alright, you two eat, and I’ll go out for a walk with Calvin.”
Calvin had no objections.
He had always put Medea first.
Before Medea left, Regina secretly handed her something.
Medea glanced at it and her face turned red, “Mom!”
Better safe than sorry,” Regina hinted.
Medea could only quietly tuck the item into her bag, then bid farewell to the two and left with Calvin.
Once the child was gone, Regina’s smile faded.
‘ushing aside the dipping sauce that Caesar had prepared for her earlier, she adopted an interrogative tone, “Tell me, why suddenly want to eat hotpot?”
aesar, calm as ever, picked up some food, slowly ate a bite, and then answered, “Because I wanted to eat it, why is there always a reason for everything?”
egina stared at him intently, trying to figure something out.
ut Caesar remained unfazed, focused on his meal.
inally, Regina could only angrily remind him, “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. Don’t forget who got us to where we are today!”
liza took Ottilie to a health soup restaurant she often frequented.
uring the meal, Eliza noticed that Ottilie seemed distracted and kept zoning out. She asked if she was feeling unwell.
ttilie quickly denied it, “No, I’m fine. You saw the results of my check–up, didn’t you?”
Then why do you keep spacing out? You’ve been like this since we left the hotpot place.”
Don’t be too sensitive.”
liza hoped it was just her being overly sensitive.
fter they finished eating, Eliza called the waiter to pay the bill but was told that a Mr. Blaine had already paid for them.
liza immediately guessed it was Hector and sent him a message to thank him.
lector replied, saying he was dining with friends and saw her there, so he decided to pay for the meal as a kind gesture.
ince she was with her mother, he didn’t want to disturb her, which was very gentlemanly of him.
ven Ottilie was curious, “Mr. Blaine? Is he single? What does he do for a living?”
liza sighed, “Mom, are you checking his background?”
I’m not checking his background, I’m pushing for marriage.”
That Mr. Blaine, he’s your suitor, right?”

Eliza didn’t respond.
Ottilie immediately realized. “When are you going to introduce him to me?”
I’m not interested,” Eliza said, feeling for the first time what it was like to be pressured by her parents about marriage.
No wonder Hector was so eager; he must have been anxious.
Ottilie tried to persuade her, “You should date. Love is a good thing. The best part about love is that he loves you, he loves you, he loves you…”
Then why haven’t you found someone?”
I’m afraid it would be bad for you.”
Ottilie had never lacked suitors, but she never accepted any because she was worried about how it would affect Eliza’s growth.
liza’s heart softened.
he had grown up in a single–parent family, but she had never felt a lack of love.
The love from Ottilie only added to that.
On Wednesday, Camille arrived in Washington.
liza made time to have dinner with her and had originally booked a Japanese restaurant.
However, Camille wanted to drink, so Eliza changed the reservation to a clubhouse.
When they met, Eliza noticed that Camille had switched men again.
his time, her new choice was a “little wolf dog.”
ven before summer, he was wearing a sleeveless shirt, constantly showing off his muscular physique.
lis chest muscles… they were so impressive that even women felt self–conscious.
Camille didn’t shy away from showing affection in front of Eliza. As soon as they entered the private room, she sat on the little wolf dog’s lap and kissed him
assionately.
Although Eliza had seen Camille’s indulgence before, she still wasn’t entirely used to it, so she excused herself and stepped outside to make a call.
the lingered outside for a bit, also holding a conference call with Matilda.
Meanwhile, in another private room, Vivian was sulking due to Baxter’s refusal to talk to her.
She had called a few friends to hang out, but they had to use Everest’s company account.
This wasn’t the first time she’d done this, and since Calvin never said anything in front of Medea, she felt emboldened
Her courage grew as she continued to pick the most expensive and luxurious places to hang out.
Food and drinks were top notch, and in return, she gained a bunch of sycophantic friends.
She enjoyed being adored, so she often treated others to meals.
She’d do it when she was happy, and when she was upset.
Today, of course, she was upset because Baxter had ignored her.
Her friends tried to cheer her up, saying that she could always find another man–there were plenty of fish in the sea.
