Lila gave a subtle signal with her eyes. Oh, it was a whole matchmaking event.
Amelia was dumbfounded. Jamie was also there, sitting quietly next to Vince.
Someone asked, "Has Jamie got a boyfriend yet?" Their son sat nearby as well.
Amelia leaned over to Lila and whispered, "Should I call Teddy over to take a look? If that kid doesn't step up, he'll lose her."
It was obvious to everyone who could see the boy's feelings for Jamie.
Vince didn't try to stop it, clearly not intending to marry off his sister for family gain. He glanced over upon hearing the question. "She already has someone she likes."
The person paused and asked, "Which young master is so lucky?"
Amelia walked over, smiling lightly. "You don't know yet? My brother."
The person froze. "When did Ms. Joyce..."
She stopped mid-sentence, suddenly covering her mouth in shock, glancing toward Benjamin. Could Benjamin have an illegitimate child? Wasn't it said that Benjamin and his wife were very close and loving?
Benjamin and Charlotte were left bewildered by their own daughter, exchanging looks that clearly said, "You have an illegitimate child outside?"
"What are you thinking?" Amelia approached the person.
"My mom just introduced me to a godbrother. I haven't had the chance to announce it yet."
Hearing this nonsense, Charlotte felt a twinge of regret for calling her home. She smiled at Lila and whispered, "Should I know this godson she's talking about?"
