Chapter 1829

Ellen was a little bewildered by the sight. Wasn't she supposed to eat with Connor and his family? Why were there strangers here?

She smiled politely and greeted, “Good to see you, Uncle Connor and Aunt Olivia.”

“Ellie, here, letintroduce you to them.” Connor said to her, “This is my old friend, Murray Fuller, and beside him is his wife,

Christina. And this man here is their son, Harvey Fuller.”

Ellen gave the couple a courteous smile before glancing at the young man. “Nice to meet you.”

“Wow, she’s gorgeous!” Christina praised, grinning from ear to ear.

“Of course, she is. All of the girls in our family are pretty,” Olivia immediately replied.

Harvey immediately got up to pour tea for Ellen, and she hurriedly thanked him. Ever since Ellen entered the room, Harvey's eyes

had been glued to her face. He thought his date today would be just an ordinary girl, but he didn’t expect the heavens to give him

such a huge surprise.

Ellen was one of the innocent yet pure girls whom he rarely saw. In particular, the sweet way she smiled put him in a better mood

at first glance. Moreover, he had been informed about Ellen while he was on his way to the restaurant. She was a relocatee from

Lockwood Village, and she even had a small fortune. Who wouldn't like a beautiful and wealthy woman?

Just then, the dishes were served, and the two families ate while chatting. Ellen only had a few bites when she heard Connor's

voice. “Ellie is beautiful and kind-hearted, but she seems lonely from living alone for a while now.”

Hearing that, Ellen hurriedly explained, “Uncle Connor, I'm doing good. I'm not lonely.”

“Ellie, Connor just wants you to have someone to take care of you and protect you, to give you a shoulder to lean on,” Olivia said.

Ellen's heart skipped a beat as she had an epiphany. Did Connor invite her for a meal to set her up on a blind date? Was he trying

to introduce her to a man?

At that moment, Christina began to praise her son. “Harv really is the ideal man! He has the personality and looks, and he’s

capable too. He's definitely the best candidate as a boyfriend and a husband.”

“Of course. He looks talented to me.” Although Olivia inwardly despised this family, she enthusiastically agreed with them on the

surface.

Instantly, Harvey took the initiative and said to Ellen, “Miss Reiss, do you mind if we exchange contacts? | heard that you're

working in Presgrave Group, and it so happens that | work nearby. I'm sure we can meet up for a cup of coffee next time.”

She was about to refuse, but Olivia immediately picked up her phone and said, “Oh! | have Ellie's phone number here. I'll give it to

you, so write it down!”

Ellie felt helpless but didn’t have the nerves to lose her temper. Hence, she watched as Olivia gave Harvey her phone number, who

happily called her afterward. “This is my number.”

Without beating around the bush, Christina said, “Miss Reiss, | heard that you've been relocated. You're so lucky! That place used

to be worth nothing, but | heard that many of the relocatees have becmillionaires now!”

Ellen gave her an awkward yet courteous smile.

“Well, you're not wrong about that. Ellie has always been lucky.” Olivia could tell that the Fullers were happy with Ellen, and she

quickly added her two cents.

After three glasses of wine, Connor began to speak more bluntly, saying to Ellen, “Look, Ellie, I'm going to be

honest with you. Murray has been my colleague for many years, and his son, Harvey, is a good boy, so | want to match you two

together. Once you get married, both of our families will becin-laws and will be able to help each other out.”

Ellen’s mind went blank, and she hurriedly waved her hands in disagreement. “Uncle Connor, I'm not looking to get into a

relationship any tsoon, much less marriage.”

“Oh sweetie, girls have to get married eventually! How nice is it to have someone you can rely on and who would take care of

you?” Olivia cajoled from the side.

Ellen’s face flushed red with anger. She deeply regretted showing up for this meal.

“Miss Reiss, as long as you marry our son, we promise to treat you like our own daughter,” Christina added, expressing her

sincerity.
