Naturally, the meeting between the two mothers was a pleasant one. As Emilia gazed at Winter,who had dressed elegantly and refined that day, her impression of Winter improved. A wave of guiltwashed over her when she recalled what her son had done the previous night, especially when shetook note of how polite and demure Winter was. All the dissatisfaction she previously had felttoward Winter vanished into thin air.

The two mothers were pleased by the idea of this marriage and immediately agreed upon it. Emiliaproposed the third day of the next month as an auspicious date to get married.

Jade did some mental calculations. There were about forty days left before the suggested date, soshe felt less worried. “Are we both in agreement on that?

“Yes, of course. I think matters concerning the wedding should be left up to us women. What do youthink, Mrs. Shaw?” Emilia knew her son was probably still reeling from what had happened, andthere was no way this responsibility could be handed over to him. Meanwhile, Winter was requiredon sèt. Thus, Emilia decided to discuss being in charge of this alongside Jade.

Jade immediately nodded upon hearing that. “I was thinking the same. The kids are busy, so thiscan be left to us!”

That concluded the meeting between the two mothers. Once they walked out of Homestyle GardenHouse, Teresa opened the door to another private room, where Noelle was sitting and brewing tea.She was looking over a copy of the year’s accounts. She flipped through them before returningthem to Teresa. “My head hurts just from looking at them. I think you can just pay me my dividendsin the future, since I can’t be bothered looking at all this anyway.”

“That won’t do!” Teresa said as she picked up the ledger. “After all, we started this businesstogether. You have to at least take a look at the accounts no matter how little you care about them!”As Teresa took a seat, she glanced at Noelle. “Guess who I saw just now?”

Noelle poured Teresa a cup of tea as she raised an eyebrow. “Who could you have seen in thisteahouse? Some high–ranking official, or a dirt–poor scholar?”

“Nope!” Teresa shook her head as she took the tea and gave it a sniff. “I think you’re so much betterat brewing tea than the young girls working here!” Teresa took a sip before she continued. “I sawyour mom, Winter, and Xavier’s mom!”

Noelle raised an eyebrow, her grip on the teacup faltering slightly. “They visited the teahouse?” Thatpiqued Noelle’s interest, and she asked, “What were they doing here?”

“I was curious too, so I broke my own rules and decided to eavesdrop.” Teresa smirked. “They werediscussing Xavier and Winter’s wedding!”

Noelle froze once again, a stunned expression on her face. That surprised Teresa, and she couldnot help but frown at the look on Noelle’s face. “You don’t still miss him, do you?”

“What are you talking about?” Noelle chuckled as she gave Teresa a side–eyed look. “Dol seem likethat sort of person?” she asked before sighing. “I’ve long lost my feelings for Xavier.” She was justmarveling to herself at how intelligent Charles was!

Just last night, Charles had said the Harris family and Shaw family could not wait for their families to

merge through marriage. He said they would be preoccupied with matters regarding Xavier andWinter’s wedding. She had not expected what he said last night to turn into the truth the very nextday!

Noelle shared that with Teresa, who was similarly stunned. “Your husband is amazing! How couldhe have known?” As Teresa spoke, she nodded. “Actually, it’s not that difficult to figure out. Xavierstarted dating Winter because he was eyeing the Shaw family’s wealth, right? Both families haveulterior motives, and Winter must be in such a rush because she’s worried you’ll cause her moretrouble!”
