Penny watched Eason, who looked quite charmed, and felt a slight panic stirring within her.

She no longer dared to hope for a real relationship with Eason; she just wanted to stay close to him,

content to admire him from afar.

But she had forgotten one thing.

Someday, Eason would get married and have children.

What about her, then? What would she do?

Was she supposed to just smile, bless them, and keep playing the role of the perfect, endearing ‘little

sister‘?

She couldn’t do it.

Unaware of Penny’s distress, Judith looked at Eason with a smile, “What do you think?”

Eason, hesitating, replied, “It seems to make sense?”

Judith laughed, “If it makes sense, it’s good. There’s a girl, you know? She’s kind of related to the royal family, but a distant relative. I’ve checked her out; she’s beautiful, with a great personality, definitely a virtuous wife material. I told her about your situation, and she doesn’t mind at all. She even said that she’s open to living a modest life with you, should you choose to keep your identity under wraps.”

“She doesn’t mind?” Eason raised an eyebrow, even more intrigued.

‘After all, the title of a queen is quite tempting to many,‘ Eason mused.

‘And this girl, she’s willing to give it up without hesitation?”

“Yes, she’s interested in you as a person,” Judith, sensing a possibility, grew more enthusiastic. “She’s admired your actions over the years. People like you, who’d rather give up a throne to strive on their own, are rare. She really appreciates your determination! Plus, this girl is quite accomplished herself,

holding two master’s degrees from top universities. She’s more than a good match for you.”

Eason responded, “Sounds pretty good.”

“That’s right,” Judith said excitedly, “How about arranging a meeting? The girl is willing to come to

Coraland for this.”

Penny stiffened, her gaze fixed on Eason.

Eason thought for a moment and nodded. “Alright, let’s meet then.”

Judith stood up excitedly, “Let’s arrange dinner then! The girl is already on the plane; she’ll definitely

make it for dinner.”

Eason, left speechless, simply sighed in resignation.

‘She’s already on the plane! What’s the point in asking for my opinion, then?‘ he thought to himself.

But since he agreed, he had no second thoughts about it.

‘Seeing her wouldn’t hurt; if we truly connect, there’s no reason not to explore the possibility, Eason thought.

Seeing Eason’s consent, Judith said cheerfully, “I’ll make the arrangements.”

Humming a tune, she went off to arrange the restaurant.

As soon as Judith left, the living room fell silent.

Penny was trying hard to control her emotions, but her face still paled slightly.

Seeing her pallor, Eason asked, “What’s wrong?”

Penny forced a smile. “I’m fine. I just think there’s no need to rush into blind dates. You’re so outstanding; you can take your time to replace the person right for you.”

Eason chuckled. “Blind dates can work out well, you know. Mom has a great eye for people, so I trust

she’ll choose someone nice. Who knows? Spending time together might just spark some feelings.”

* Eason was quite pragmatic about it.

He was just too busy.

Opting for traditional dating might not be feasible with his limited time.

With blind dates, he could skip the initial stages of meeting and getting to know each other. Diving straight into serious considerations seemed like an efficient choice for someone as busy as him..

While Eason had made peace with the idea, Penny found it hard to accept.

Her complexion turned even paler.

“Are you feeling unwell?” Eason asked with concern.

“It’s nothing,” Penny shook her head, speaking softly, “I just didn’t sleep well last night. A bit of a

headache.”

“Why don’t you go back to your room and have some rest?” Eason suggested gently.

“Alright,” Penny said, pausing briefly before standing. She then turned back to Eason with a questioning look. “Will you… get married?”

Eason hesitated briefly, then replied, “I guess it’ll happen eventually.”

Although he hadn’t met someone he liked, Eason wasn’t one to prioritize romance above all else.

He knew well that, with his status, not marrying was impractical. He wasn’t averse to the idea of marriage itself.

“Then… will you be good to her?” Penny asked, gazing earnestly at Eason.

Eason found her question odd. “Of course, I will.”

Penny’s face was ashen. “Even if you don’t love her, you’ll be good to her?”

Eason raised an eyebrow. “I don’t know about love, but if I marry her, of course, I’ll be good to her.”

Penny pursed her lips, feeling a strong urge to ask Eason something

Would he be better to his future wife, or to her?

But she didn’t voice this question.

ise.

She was well aware of her place; asking such a question would be crossing a line.

She was the perfect little sister, after all; how could she overstep her bounds?

Penny

Turned to her room.

She lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to settle her troubled mind.

After a while, she sat up abruptly.

No, she couldn’t let Eason go on this blind date.

If she did nothing, eventually Eason would replace someone, and then, he would entrust all his troubles and challenges to that woman.

Just the thought of such a scenario was unbearable for Penny.

But what could she possibly do?

As his sister, she wasn’t in a position to intervene in Eason’s personal decisions.

Penny recalled Emma.

She had intentionally saved Emma’s contact information that day, with some ulterior motives in mind.

Now was the time to put Emma to use..

Penny’s eyes flickered as an idea flashed through her mind.

She would coax Emma into doing what she herself could not.

But devising a way to manipulate Emma required some thought.

Penny got up and left her room. She first went to replace Judith and, with just a few words, deftly learned the location of the evening’s dinner.

Then she knocked on Eason’s door.

Receiving no response, she entered the room.

The sound of running water indicated Eason was in the shower.

Spotting his phone unattended on the table, Penny saw her opportunity.

Stealthily, she approached the phone.

Fortune seemed to favor her; Eason’s phone was surprisingly unlocked.

Penny picked up the phone with trembling hands and swiftly located Emma’s contact.

She began to type hastily.

“Emma, I’ve realized that I might have feelings for you. If you feel the same, meet me at The Orange Bistro at 7 p.m. I’ll be waiting in a private dining room, Room 101. If you’re not interested, no need to reply. If you don’t show up by 7,I’ll take it as a sign and won’t trouble you again.”

After composing the message, Penny sent it quickly.

The sound of water in the bathroom had stopped; Eason would be out soon.

She watched the message send, hastily erased the evidence, and replaced the phone.

After setting everything in place, Penny took a deep breath.

At that precise moment, Eason stepped out of the bathroom.

He looked at Penny in surprise. “Why aren’t you resting? Isn’t your head aching?”

“I’m fine, I’m much better now,” Penny replied with a smile. “I just wanted to wish you well on your

blind date.”

Eason quirked an eyebrow. “Thanks.”

Penny then left with a beaming smile.

Eason watched her retreating figure, his expression curious.

Today’s Penny… seemed somewhat off.

Was it just his imagination?
