A flicker of sadness crossed Raphael's eyes.
He locked gazes with Olivia.
Sharon, beside him, sensed he was losing control and gently reminded him, “Hey.
Raphael continued to stare at Olivia, his silence stretching into an uncomfortable pause.
Then, he suddenly burst into laughter, his tone tinged with sarcasm.
“You're right, Olivia! Marriage is the next step, right? And who's the lucky one, huh? That Dylan guy?”
Dylan? Cecilia remembered that the man he mentioned was the one who had once harbored feelings for Laura...
Later, he becclose friends with Olivia, but now they were just good friends, far from anything romantic.
Although she thought Dylan was a kind and suitable partner for anyone.
Besides, Cecilia might have been naive, but she wasn’t foolish.
The young man in front of her seemed charming and refined... but his eyes were too dark, hinting at a troubled
past.

And the way he gazed at Olivia was unsettling, like he wanted to consher!
He... he must be the one who had dated Olivia before.
And in the end, both he and Olivia had been deeply hurt in that relationship.
Even though the dude had a girlfriend now, he still showed up to stir things up with Olivia.
Obviously, Cecilia had to have her daughter's back.
So, she flashed a smile and chirped, “So, you must be Mr.
Jones! I've heard Edwin talk about you a lot.
It's nice to finally meet you! Oh, is this Mrs.
Jones? You guys look cute together.
Cecilia’s mix-up put Raphael in a tight spot, making it tough for him to clear things up, let alone deal with Olivia.
Sharon, standing by, had no interest in clearing things up either.
Cecilia flashed a grin and suggested, “Hey, since you guys are seasoned in marriage, why not give us some
pointers? What are the must-haves for a dowry? Olivia and | picked out a dozen, but I'm not sure if we should
keep them all or just single out sof them.
Tough call, huh?”
Sharon eyed the brand.
The gold brand they picked out was extremely pricey.
Buying even just sof those items Cecilia picked out would set one back at least a million.
Sharon couldn't wrap her head around Olivia's family being that wealthy.
So, she casually pointed to a few pricey pieces, saying, “These seem alright.
After dropping that, she shot a glance at Cecilia and Olivia.
She was just waiting for them to embarrass themselves in front of Raphael.
Then he’d see why she was the better pick.

Even though the Yeats family weren't rolling in money, she was city-raised, unlike Olivia who wasn’t even a
native here.
But there was no way she could hide these schemes from Cecilia.
Cecilia carefully checked those Sharon picked out, which, in Sharon's eyes, seemed like she was hesitating
because of the hefty price tag.
Sharon couldn't help but look down on her.
After a pause, Cecilia said softly, “Wrap them up! Use that delicate box I told you earlier.
Yes, that one.
Send them to this address.
She jotted down the Fowler residence address.
The sales rep nodded respectfully.
“Got it, Mrs.
Evans.
We'll have them sent over in an hour... Just need your signature here.
