“Who’s that? She’s quite a locker! York Maves gazing in Ellinor’s direction, swallowed hard.
Seeing York Maves animated reaction. Haillie chuckled “Not only is that girl a looker, but she’s a real

York Mayes interest was piqued “A hoot? How so?
Hallie shot him a mischievous grin. Well all those games guys enjoy, she’s a whiz at them!”
York Maves stroked his chin almost drooling with excitement, “Nice! Patricia, I won’t keep you guys, I’m
off to chat up that babe

shrugged. “What’s the big deal? All Ellinor wants is a loaded guy, right? She’s been trying to get close

“But Patricia looked unconvinced, but after a moment of thought, she nodded, “You have a point,
Haillie. It wouldn’t be the worst thing if Ellinor and York tied the knot. We could end up as family and

York Mayes picked up a fancy-looking dessert from the buffet for Ellinor, “Aunt Bluna’s parties always
have the best sweets. Try this cake, it’s delicious.”
“Thank you, but I’ve already had some” Ellinor declined politely, but her interest was piqued by his
previous statement. “Are you part of the Howard family?”
York Mayes didn’t hide it and nodded Yes, I am part of the Howard family!”
