Beal and Johanna looked at each other and nodded in silent gesture. Lila returned to her room, depressed.

Johanna quickly followed upstairs.

“What’s the matter, Mom?” Lila’s face softened. She couldn’t help but wonder if her mother had noticed her displeasure. Was Johanna here to comfort her? Johanna entered Lila’s room and closed the door behind her.

“Lila, I have chosen a guy for you.”

Lila was feeling a bit disappointed. Johanna didn’t even bother saying anything nice to comfort her. Feeling frustrated, Lila sat on the edge of the bed, fiddling with the helm of her lace dress.

Johanna went over and sat next to Lila. She said in a friendly tone, “I think that even though you’re still young, you can consider seeing somebody seriously. What do you think about that, Lila?”

Lila had no idea what to say to that. Because of Natalie, she was beginning to feel more and more uncomfortable living in the

White family’s house. If she could get married to a good man, it would be good to have her own family. Lila bit her bottom lip and asked, “Who is this guy you’re talking about?”

Seeing that Lila didn’t turn her down, Johanna immediately pulled out her phone, clicked on the album, and began to introduce a suitor in detail. “He’s the son of the Gray family. They export fruit and they have been running chain stores for many years now.”

Lila had already heard of the Gray family. She even made fun of them once with her best friends that they were simply a bunch of bumpkins who sold fruits.

Seeing that Lila was not answering, Johanna went on to say, “They’re not a big family. Even though they’re not a powerful family, they’re still a rich one. The family members are simple folks, so they won’t be fighting for wealth as the rich and powerful families usually do. This guy we’re talking about is the second child in the family, and he’s an excellent engineer. He’s good-
