"I thought you said you would prioritize work and wouldn't consider marriage for now? Why did you change your mind?" Elliot
asked after taking a sip of water.
"We are just having a meal together. Don't read too much into it," Lilith said.
"Both families are meeting now, so you are not that far away from getting married," Elliot said calmly. "You should really think
about whether you want to marry Ben or not. There's still tto reconsider."
"Can't | change my mind after this meal?" Lilith asked.
"You can change your mind at any point, or even get a divorce from him after marrying him. It's just that | have a unique
friendship with Ben, and | want you to act carefully." Elliot tightened his grip around the glass. "Ben isn’t young anymore and he
truly wants to settle down..."
"And how would you know that he wouldn't cheat after we get married?" Lilith retorted. "You think that he is a good man just
because you are close to him."

"It's precisely because I'm close to him that | know he wouldn't mistreat you out of respect for me." Elliot felt that, as her senior, he
had the responsibility to warn Lilith.
"Should | be thanking you, then?" Lilith did not care for his warning. "Even if he mistreatsin the future, | wouldn't beg for him to
stop. | won't give up on my career, and | can support myself. Ever since your marriage with Avery blew up, | realize how
untrustworthy men are.”
Provoked, Elliot said, "Lilith White! | am your brother! If you think that Avery treats you better, you are welcto invite her here
to act as your family instead!"
"Avery does treatbetter than you do!" Lilith shivered in response to his wrath, but she stood her ground despite the fear." She
never yells ator looks down on me. And you? Before | had a proper job, you didn't even want to acknowledgeas your sister.
Now that I've found a job and a boyfriend, this is when you start acting like you are my brother!"
Elliot's heart sank at her accusation.
Though he had not cared for Lilith the way Avery did, he had never looked down on her.
Suddenly, the door to the room opened >b(< RLT? Ben walked in with his parents. He glanced at the looks on Lilith's and Elliot's
faces and instantly noticed the tension between them.
Ben smiled. "There's been a bit of traffic on the road so we were a bit late. Are you hungry?" He turned around and said to the
waiter, "You can serve food now."
He then led his parents to their seats.
Lilith immediately stood as soon as he took his seat and went to sit next to him.
Though Ben appreciated Lilith taking the initiative to sit next to him, he was overwhelmed by the awkwardness of seeing how rude
Lilith was to her brother.
At the moment, Ben, his parents, and Lilith were all seated next to one another, and Elliot was sitting on his own on the other side
of the table. This made it appear as though they were here to interrogate Elliot instead of dining.
"Lilith, did you fight with your brother?" Ben lowered his voice and asked.

"He toldnot to marry you."
Ben and both of his parents gasped.
Elliot froze at the sudden accusation.
"Th- That can't be possible, hahaha!" Ben laughed tically to conceal his panicked state. He saw Elliot as his brother and did
not believe that he would stab him in the back.
"I just told her to think it through and not to make a decision rashly, before regretting it again,” Elliot explained to Ben and his
parents.
Ben sighed a breath of relief. "| knew you wouldn't stopfrom being together with Lilith." "Who didn't get married in the heat of
the moment? The more you askedto think about it, the more likely I'm going to regret it," Lilith said.
"Um... Lilith, what you say makes sense as well," Helen said with a smile. "Even if you are marrying Ben in the heat of the moment,
| don't think it's an issue. You can get married and have a child together. If you cto grow tired of one another later in life, it's
alright if you want to get divorced... We will be sure to set you free."
