Then, he looked around before whispering, “This gentleman is the wealthiest businessman only second to Brandon in Heron. I’ve inquired about it and learned that his son has some connections with Rena.”

While Zoey didn’t know about Albert, Cecilia did.

“The young man is probably Albert. He used to present roses to Rena. But Rena wasn’t interested in him. Whenever he did, Rena would only throw them away. If you ask me, I think he’s just flattering himself.”

Hearing Cecilia’s words, Zoey was amused and sniggered. She now understood why her arrogant son only had eyes for Cecilia. Indeed, Cecilia was a lovely girl.

Zoey kept her thoughts to herself and put on a poker face. “Let them come in,”

she said to the butler.

The butler nodded and left shortly after.

“Choose your words carefully when talking to them,” Zoey warned.

Cecilia wasn’t displeased at Zoey’s words. Instead, she playfully elbowed Zoey’s side and answered, “I know.”

Previously, Zoey was a bit annoyed since she had no mood to deal with any visitors. But now, her heart was overflowing with so much joy Cecilia had brought to her.

Cecilia was young and lovely. This alone was enough to bring a smile to Zoey’s face since Cecilia often reminded her of her daughter.

While they were chatting, Kyle came in with Albert. Behind them were servants who were carrying gifts and luggage.

As soon as Kyle entered, he took off his scarf and put on a grin that stretched from ear to ear. “Merry Christmas, madams!” he greeted.

He then turned to Albert and told him, “Over there is Rena’s grandma. You can also call her grandma.”

Albert scratched his head and shyly looked away.

Seeing the embarrassed expression on Albert’s face, Zoey hurriedly stepped in. She called Albert over and placed her hand atop his.

“You’re such a good-looking boy,” she said to him.

Then, Zoey looked up to Kyle, her face turning serious.

“You just asked him to call me grandma, right? Does Darren have any other children? I’ve never heard of it from Eloise.”

Kyle was stunned momentarily. From Zoey’s trick of playing dumb, he instantly knew Zoey was not an easy woman to deal with.

Zoey then pointed at the luggage and added, “If you’re Darren’s son, I will ask someone to clean up the guest room immediately. I saw your luggage. How could I let my grandchildren stay in the hotel instead of the cozy rooms in my house?”

After saying that, she then asked Cecilia to give orders to those servants.

Cecilia rushed over to Waylen and latched onto his arm.

The moment Cecilia saw her elder brother in the Evans family’s house, she burst into joy.

Waylen held Cecilia in his arms and hugged her tight. Then, he shot a look at Albert and sneered, “You just said you wanted to be the other man, right?”

Albert remained silent, his eyes fixed on Waylen the entire time.

Although Albert had fascinated some women with his handsome face, he had to admit that Waylen was rather outstanding.

Waylen had an air of regality about him that made him stand out from the rest.

After being quiet for a while, Albert twitched his mouth and asked, “What?

Are you scared or something?”

Waylen was unfazed by Albert’s cocky attitude. He simply took out a cigarette and lit it before taking a long drag.

Slowly, his eyes narrowed at Albert as he let out an arrogant chuckle.

“Why would I be scared? I’m afraid Rena won’t be pleased to hear that. Apart from valuing too much on virtue, she’s perfect in every way.”

Albert gnashed his teeth for a second before recovering his cool.

“Mr. Fowler, I heard you used to be a lawyer before. That explains why you’re so sharp-tongued.”

“Well, I don’t think I’m eloquent enough,” Waylen teased sarcastically.

“But let me lay this clear to you. Rena appreciates mature men. You, on the other hand, are just a little boy. Go on and practice some more.”

Albert and Waylen continued their tit-for-tat, their words resembling swords clashing against each other.

Cecilia, who was listening to the entire exchange, was speechless.
