Pearl forced a smile. "Ma'am, you've got it wrong. Silas and | are just friends."

Camila didn't seem bothered. She smiled gently and said, "That's alright. You'll grow to like each other as you spend more ttogether."

Luke stood nearby, nodding as if he was trying to avoid getting scolded by Camila.

Elijah had a smile on his face as he listened to the young ones chatting. But when he heard that they weren't in a relationship, his expression

changed. "Silas, what's going on?"

Silas had previously mentioned that Pearl was his future wife. Besides, he had expected Pearl to give this response. He replied calmly, "We should

take things slow in relationships.”

Elijah looked displeased with Silas for disappointing him. Then, he turned to Pearl and greeted her warmly. "Oh, Pearl. Chere and lethave a

look at you."

Pearl smiled and went over since she found Elijah friendly. "Sir, you know me?"

Elijah started explaining, "Of course. Your grandfather and | were best friends. We started a business together when we were young, and he even

promised that our families would have an arranged marriage."

An arranged marriage?

First, it was the York family, then the Cooper family, and now the Quinton family. Ezra seemed to have a lot of best friends. But he seemed to forget

that he only had a granddaughter.

"Ah, by the way, Pearl, | haven't asked you. Are you engaged to anyone?"

"No," Pearl answered honestly.

Elijah’s eyes brightened as he glanced at Silas. "What a coincidence! Silas isn't engaged either. Why don't we take this opportunity to fulfill the

promise your grandfather made?"

Pearl smiled. "It was just a joke when you guys were young. It doesn't count.”

However, Elijah was clever. He understood what she meant. But he genuinely liked her and wanted her to be part of the family.

"Pearl, let's not dwell on this since you haven't decided on starting a family yet. Just stay here tonight, and I'll have the servants take good care of

you." He changed the subject and indirectly made Pearl stay.

Pearl felt torn because she sensed that they wanted her to marry Silas. She wondered why she was so popular.

Silas maintained a neutral expression, but he seemed unhappy.

"Silas, Pearl is a rare guest. You should take her out for sfun." Elijah had intended to encourage them to strengthen their bond.

Silas nodded. He couldn't appear gloomy in front of Pearl, so he put on a cheerful smile. "Let's go. I'll show you around."

Although Pearl didn't want to be alone with Silas, she knew that staying there would only make things more awkward. She nodded. "Okay."

Camila chimed in, "Your cousin is here too. Take Pearl and her out. You're around the sage so you'll have plenty to talk about.”

Cousin...

Pearl swallowed but kept her smile. She had a bad feeling.
