Meeting each other was never really out of the blue.

"Yes, Randell's always had you on his mind," Willard said subtly.

In fact, anyone close to Randell knew about his foster sister in Imperial City. They weren't related by blood, but his care for her was evident to all.

Some even speculated that Randell had feelings for her.

Randell never denied such rumors.

Initially, Willard was merely curious about the woman who occupied Randell's thoughts.

Later, as he got to know Randell better, he accidentally saw a photo of them together on Randell's phone.

It appeared to be an old photo.

The young man was handsome and tall, while the girl beside him was like a budding flower, fair and slender, her eyes sparkling like stars in the night sky. With just a glance, Willard found himself captivated for years.

When he learned that Brittany had gotten married, he let go of any thoughts he had.

Yet, fate had its ways, and here they were, sitting together again, this time as potential partners.

Willard kept these thoughts to himself.

He didn't want to pressure Brittany with these stories.

Hearing about his close relationship with Randell made Brittany shed some of her initial reservations.

"My father must have told you about my situation."

"I have a son, and he'll be staying with me. If Mr. Willard minds-"

"I don't mind," Willard interrupted, shaking his head. "Sitting here means I'm quite taken with Ms. Lynette, and I look forward to getting to know her better."

How could he mind, especially now that he had the chance to get to know Brittany?

Brittany breathed a sigh of relief. Willard came from a family of scholars and gentlemen.

He was exceedingly polite and considerate throughout dinner, and they found themselves deeply engaged in conversation.

At the end, Willard dropped Brittany off at the Lynette residence.

Before she got out of the car, Willard handed her an invitation to a jewelry exhibition: "Ms. Lynette, are you free this weekend? This exhibition is well worth a visit." "Sure, I'll see you then," Brittany happily agreed.

Watching her accept the invitation, Willard couldn't hide his joy: "See you this weekend."

After watching Willard leave, Brittany walked into the living room, where Yuri was waiting: "How did it go with Willard?"

Brittany smiled, "Mr. Willard is kind and considerate, a truly good man."

Yet, she didn't feel that spark of excitement.

"That's good to hear. It wouldn't hurt to get to know Willard better. If things work out, it would put your father at ease." Brittany reassured her father before heading upstairs.

After a shower, she came out to replace Daniel sitting with a puzzled look, holding the invitation to the jewelry exhibition. "Mom, did you go on a date?"

He was holding onto the same invitation.

Wasn't mom waiting for dad to return?

Brittany, recalling her own promise, quickly took the invitation from him and placed it aside: "You heard about that?" "Mom, don't you like Dad anymore?"

Brittany knelt down: "I don't even know what your dad looks like..."

She felt a twinge of resentment, frustrated that Daniel's father had never appeared, making her develop feelings for another man. Daniel instinctively reached for his smartwatch to show her Isaac's photo but remembered his father's caution and stopped. Brittany pinched his cheek: "Don't worry, I promise to replace you a good dad, okay?"

Daniel was not satisfied, pushing Brittany away and returning to his room. Ignoring Isaac's warning, he called him.

As soon as Isaac picked up, Daniel couldn't hold back: "Dad, if you don't come back soon, Mom's going to marry another man!"
