“Yale Lowe?”
Before Yale could finish speaking, a delicate voice sounded from above and behind him.
Scarlett Adler looked up, meeting the gaze of a woman dressed in a Chanel couture outfit<b>, </b>who was now
staring at Yale in surprise.
Yale turned around at the sound, his brows furrowing as he recognized her.
“Is it really you?” The woman approached, ncing between Yale and Scarlett.
When her gazended on Scarlett, a flicker of jealousy shed in her eyes.
How could someone be so stunning?
Scarlett sat there, legs crossed, wearing a long gown that entuated her figure, her seaweed–like hair
cascading down effortlessly.
She was both beautiful and graceful.
Like a breathtaking lead actress in a movie scene.
Gwendolyn Lewis found herself momentarily lost in admiration.
Scarlett, in turn, observed her calmly, her eyes exuding confidence andposure. From the woman’s
reaction, it was clear she shared a special connection with Yale.
Feeling the intensity of Scarlett’s gaze, Gwendolyn snapped back to reality and turned her attention to
Yale.
“Is this why you refused to meet me?” she demanded, pointing directly at Scarlett.
Yale frowned, “This has nothing to do with her.” He stood up, “Let’s talk outside.”

But Gwendolyn was having none of it. She looked at Scarlett like she’d caught her red–handed, refusing to
leave. “No need, we can talk right here.”
Yale nced at her, then at Scarlett, his eyes filled with helplessness.
Scarlett seemed to have caught on to the situation. She elegantly dabbed her lips and stood up, “I’ll just
pop to the restroom, you two can chat.”
As her dress swished past, each step seemed to captivate the room. Suddenly, Gwendolyn spoke up,
“Aren’t you curious about who I am?”
“Gwendolyn!” Yale tried to intervene.
At that moment, Scarlett turned back, looking at both of them, and smiled gently. “It doesn’t matter to me,
because Yale and I are just friends.” With that, she continued to the restroom, smiling all the way.
Just friends…
Yale watched Scarlett’s retreating figure, his brow furrowed.
Was that really all it was to her?
Didn’t she feel even a little ufortable about it?
As Scarlett walked away, Gwen looked equally puzzled. What did that mean?
Wasn’t she supposed to dere war or something? This wasn’t how she imagined it.
Turning back, Gwen looked at Yale. “Are you really just friends?”
Yale’s eyes flickered with something unreadable.
The words he wanted to say remained unspoken, buried deep inside.
Seeing his silence and the shadow in his eyes, Gwen suddenly understood. She let out a coldugh. “So,

She said it with certainty.
Yale felt a wave of frustration, looking at her. “Gwen, this is my business, not yours.”
“How is it not? You rejected our engagement because of her, but she doesn’t seem to like you at all,” Gwen
replied.
“That’s still my business!” Yale suddenly snapped, looking at Gwen, his temper ring. “Whether she likes
me or not doesn’t matter. What matters is that I like her.”
Yale spoke slowly and deliberately, “And the person I want to marry can only be her!”
Gwen’s round eyes narrowed, as if she had been hurt.
“What about me?” she asked.
Yale looked at her, “The one who wants to marry you is the Lowe Family, not me. If you want to get
married, go talk to the Lowe Family!”
Gwen stared at him, her eyes turning red. “An arranged marriage… Do you really think no one would marry
me without it? If it weren’t for you, why would I agree to it? Are you truly clueless, or just pretending?” As
she finished speaking, tears fell like pearls.
Yale was taken aback, turning his gaze to her in shock.
“You may choose not to marry me, but don’t belittle me!” With that, she shot him a fierce look and walked
out.
Yale stood there, silent, his mind a chaotic mess.
Not long after she left, Scarlett emerged from the bathroom.
Yale looked at her, forcing a smile.

“She’s gone?” Scarlett asked.

Yale nodded.
Scarlett checked the time. “I’ve been out long enough. I should head back.”
“I’ll walk you,” Yale offered.
She looked at him, thought for a moment, and nodded.
On the way back, Scarlett remained silent.
Yale nced at her sideways. “Don’t you have anything you want to ask me?”
She thought for a moment and then looked at him. “It’s your personal business. If you want to talk, as a friend, I’m here to listen.”
Friend…
That word again.
Scarlett emphasized those words, and Yale understood perfectly.
“So, <i>you </i>really don’t care at all,” he said with a bitter smile.
Scarlett looked at him with clear eyes, saying nothing.
“I was nning to confess <i>to </i><i>you </i>today,” Yale admitted, his smile turning even more bitter.
She looked at him, still silent.
To be honest, she didn’t know what to say.
At that moment, Yale nced at Scarlett, his dark eyes filled with helplessness. “I just didn’t expect to run into her… It’s thrown all my ns off!”

“Who is she?” Scarlett asked.

“The woman the Lowe family wants me to marry,” Yale replied.
Scarlett narrowed her eyes slightly, watching him.
Yale took a deep breath and continued, “I’m the illegitimate child of Lucian Lowe from the Lowe family business. He raised me abroad, and I only returned after I grew up. A few years ago, his eldest son was in a car ident and became disabled. The Lowe family business has been struggling<i>, </i><i>and </i>now they’re desperate for arge influx of funds. So, they want me toe back and take over <i>the </ipany… and
marry into the Lewis family to keep the business afloat.”
Scarlett listened quietly, pressing her lips together, not saying a word.
Just then, the car came to a stop.
Yale turned to look at Scarlett. “I don’t want to take over the Lowe family business, and I don’t want any arranged marriage. I just want to live my own life and be with the person I love–that’s enough for me!” He
said, his gaze <i>fixed </i>intently on Scarlett.
His intentions were clear.
Scarlett didn’t shy away from his gaze but looked directly at him. “Sometimes… our background isn’t something we can choose, but when faced with them, can you really just stand by and do nothing?” she
asked.
Yale was taken aback, falling silent.
Scarlett knew he couldn’t.
She nced outside, they had arrived at the apartmentplex.
Looking at Yale, she smiled, “Yale, thank you for being honest with me today. As a friend, I still advise you
not to do something you’ll regret.”

With that, she unbuckled her seatbelt and smiled at him, “Thanks for dinner today. See you.”
