Jade stole glances at Evan, admiring his handsome appearance. She nudged Gregory, who was
devouring his meal, and said, “Greg, this man looks good and well–dressed. He seems wealthy! The

has high standards for men. She’ll surely like someone like him!”
Gregory struggled to grasp the complex family connections for a moment before replying, “Oh, that
one! Certainly!”
Excitedly, Jade declared, “I’m going over to talk to him!”

married?”
Evan furrowed his brow and glanced at Caroline, his face darkening when he noticed her lack of
reaction.

Jade looked concerned and asked, “So, he’s divorced with a child? That can be complicated. How
old is the child?”

“Five years old? That might be a challenge since the child can recognize people.” Jade thought for a
moment before saying, “But it should be manageable as long as financial arrangements are im
order!”
Alex couldn’t help but chuckle as he realized Jade was trying to set Evan up on a date. This is
quite amusing,‘ he thought
“What’s your ideal type, handsome?” Jade inquired.

Before Alex could unravel their relationship, Jade asked, “You seem quite impressive, handsome. Do
you own a house and a car?”
“If not?” Alex spoke for Evan. He snapped his fingers and said, “This man here owns houses all

Jade was relieved that Evan could speak. She smiled craftily. “That’s a very generous offer! I’ll
