    Erin’s smile faltered, the edges of her lips tightening unexpectedly. Just as she prepared to voice her thoughts, Marie’s frustration erupted. She mmed her cutlery onto the table with a resounding tter, her voice sharp as she directed her ire at Damon. “Damon, is that truly how you serve food?!”


    Marie had envisioned a moment of connection, a chance for Damon to assist Erin with the dishes, hoping it would spark a bond between them. But instead, he had nearly ced the entire te in front of Erin, a gesture that could easily offend the Hulles if they caught wind of it.


    Damon turned to Marie, a yful smile dancing on his lips, though his eyes betrayed a hint of annoyance. “Mom, if you’re aware of my culinary ipetence, why would you put me in this position?”


    Marie’s anger simmered just below the surface, her frustration about to boil over. Yet, before she could unleash her displeasure, Erin stepped in smoothly. “It’s really okay. I actually enjoy fish, and this way is much more convenient. There’s no need to keep bothering him to serve me.”


    Seeing Erin’s willingness to defuse the situation, a wave of warmth washed over Marie. She couldn’t help but admire Erin’s thoughtfulness, her fondness for her growing deeper with each passing moment.


    “Erin, you’re incredibly considerate. This brat only knows how to push my buttons. After dinner, make sure to take her home,” she instructed Damon, her tone firm yet tinged with affection.


    Damon’s brow furrowed, ready to protest, but Erin interjected before he could voice his refusal. “There’s really no need for that. I drove myself here,” she said, her voice steady.


    Deep down, Erin sensed Damon’s disinterest in her, and she realized that forcing him to drive her home would only create further distance. It was wiser to retreat for now, to bide her time and seize opportunitiester when the moment was right.


    With Builders Property and Prospectus Technology on the brink of a partnership, Erin knew she would have ample chances to draw closer to him in the future.


    Marie, misinterpreting Damon’s aloofness as a slight against Erin, shot him a fierce re.


    Damon, however, remained unfazed, his expression one of cool detachment. He had never agreed to this blind date; it was a n orchestrated solely by Marie. Had he known that the dinner was a matchmaking endeavor, he would have dly excused himself. Erin’s gaze drifted to the couple sitting across from her. Observing the tender way rk attended to N, she couldn’t help butment, “Mr. rk is genuinely wonderful to Ms. N.”


    rk, with a yful grin, peeled a shrimp and delicately ced it on N’s te. He then turned to Erin, his teasing smile widening. “No need to feel envious. Once you and Uncle Damon are together, I’m sure he’ll treat you just as well.”


    Erin nced back at Damon, his indifferent demeanor making her doubt that he was the type to shower affection on a woman in such a manner.


    As if reading her thoughts, Damon shot back with a cold retort. “Don’t assume everyone is like you. And if I recall correctly, you haven’t always treated her with such kindness. Did you perhaps do something that weighs on your conscience?”


    rk’s smile froze, his expression morphing into one of icy displeasure as he locked eyes with Damon.


    The palpable tension that hung in the air made Erin’s brow furrow in concern, sensing an unspoken conflict simmering just beneath the surface.


    After a brief pause, rk pulled N closer, his smile returning, albeit forced. “You’re overthinking it, Uncle Damon. N and I share a very close bond.”


    N, feeling the warmth of rk’s arm around her, lowered her gaze, suppressing the urge to push him away. She understood that if she wanted to maintain their rtionship, she couldn’t always appear distant and cold. Otherwise, he might start questioning her motives for returning to him.


    Damon chuckled softly, a hint of mischief in his voice. “If you’re so close, then why did she move out?”


    Marie’s eyes widened in surprise, her brows knitting together in confusion. N had moved out?


    In truth, Marie had never fully embraced N as her granddaughter-inw.


    Before N and rk tied the knot, the Jaystons had already faced financial ruin. Marie harbored suspicions that N had married into the Sumners primarily for their wealth.


    Yet, rk had been unwavering in his devotion, kneeling at the front gate for three long days, proiming that he would marry no one else, and no one could change his mind. Eventually, Marie and Richard had relented, albeit reluctantly.


    After their wedding, N had disyed admirable behavior and maturity, gradually softening Marie’s initial bias against her. But now, with the revtion that N had moved out, Marie felt her old dissatisfaction bubbling back to the surface.Conclusion
