In the dining room, Ellie sat with Todd and Nancy, sharing hbreakfast.

The maids had just finished setting the table when Alex entered in his pajamas, his hair still damp. The familiar scent of his body wash wafted through the air. Elbe focused on her meal, ignoring Alex as he sat beside her

Alex glanced sideways at Ellie, wanting for her to acknowledge him. When the didn't, his face fell, and he looked away with a sullen expression.

As his parents chatted warmly with Ellie over breakfast, Alex, feeling left out, scowled and finally broke the silence. "Dail, when are we officially breaking off the engagement with the Grant family!"

His blant question immediately soured the mood.

Nancy set down her fork, her expression turning stern. "Your Esther and Lare in agreement on this matter. You can call off the engagement with the Grant family, but only if you break things off with Haley and bring home a respectable, well-mannered girlfriend." Alex's gaze involuntarily drified toward Ellie once again.

Elle couldn't help but curl her lips into a wry smile, thinking to herself, 'He's unreasonable, crazy, and impossible to deal with. Who in their right mund would want to be with someone like him!

I must've cried too much as a kid and clogged my brain with tears to end up liking this mess of a man:

Nancy frowned. "I told you to find a girlfriend, so why are you staring at Ellie?"

Feeling Alex's intense gaze on her, Ellie grew uneasy. She was terrified he might blum out something outrageous, so she quickly interjected, "Mom, maybe Alex thinks his social circle is too chaotic and wants me to introduce someone to him." Before she could finish her sentence, Alex suddenly stood up. The screech of the chair scraping against the floor was deafening

He shot Ellie a glare filled with fury, then turned and stormed off.

Nancy rolled her eyes at Alex in irritation before turning to Ellie and placing some food on her plate. "Ignore him, Ellie.

"I heard you're planning a business trip in the next few days. Let me know which city you're going to, and I'll make arrangements for you"

Alex, who had reached the dining room door, stopped in his tracks without realizing it. No one called him back, yet he turned around and walked bark on his nam

Nancy raised an eyebrow at him. "Why are you back now

Alex gave his mother a sour look and plopped down in the seat next to Ellie. Tin not fill yet he grumbled

Ellie glanced at him cautiously, baffled by his erratic behavior. After days of bring away, his return seemed to signal another episode of his peculiar. antic

Carefully, she said. "Mom, I'll be traveling with Mark. You don't need to worry."

grabbed an entire slice of pie and shoved it into his mouth, chewing aggressively as if there were bones in it

Upon hearing that Ellic would be traveling with Mark. Nancy's smile grew wider. "Ellie, Mark is a good guy. You should consider spending morenoveldrama

Todd chimed in. "I heard Mark is excellent at Go. When you're free, you could invite him over to play a few games with your grandfather"

a serious! She's so young, and you're already encouraging her to bring men home" Alex's voice erupted, cutting off Todd mid-sentence.

"Are you

Nancy and Todd glared at him in unison. "This has nothing to do with you."

Alex froze, momentanly stunned.

Ellie rugged awkwardly at the comer of her lips, unsure of how to respond. Mark might be a great guy, but he wasn't someone she could even dare to dream about.

Even though she lived in the luxurious Warren Mansion and shared her days with its members, she knew she was just an ordinary gid

The cautious insecurity of the poor clashed starkly with the effortless entalement of the nich

From worldviews and values to lifestyle and spending habits, they were fundamentally incompatible

Relationships and marriages born from such mismatched backgrounds held no promise of happiness, only endless sensitivities and crises.

"Ellie, tell me." Nancy asked, snapping her out of her thoughts, "is Mark your ideal type?"

Elbe besuated briefly before answering. My ideal partner is actually quite simple. He might have some minor flaws and quirks, but he must be responsible, respectful to elden, and loyal in love" Alex's grip tightened around his fork, and his restless leg bouncing slowly came to a bali.

Tlike someone mature and steady," Ellie continued, her tone calm. "It's best if he has a bit of ambition. I'm not into flashy types"

Subconsciously, Alex touched the black dumond stud in his left ear. His expression visibly stiffened

He doesn't have to be wealthy. Ellie added. "But he should at least respect and support me. He should be emotionally stable, understand my struggles, and protect me from getting hurt." Bang! The sound of the fork in Alex's hand snapping in two echoed through the room
