Next to N, Delia waspletely fixated on Andre''s face, barely registering what he was saying.


    Every time Andre looked at Delia, she either smiled at him or appeared flustered. It was starting to give him a headache, so he did his best to avoid looking at her too often.


    However, Delia noticed his frequent nces at N and became displeased. She began asking questions here and there, slowing the lesson significantly.


    When the ss finally ended, Andre let out a slight sigh of relief and turned to N. "Ms. Kinsey, the weather is nice today. Do you have time? I''d like to invite you to lunch."


    Before N could respond, Delia interjected, "Andre, the estate is too far from the city. It''s better to stay here and eat. I can have the chef prepare whatever you want."


    Andre smiled at Delia. "Thank you, Ms. Nixon, but I''d prefer to spend time alone with Ms. Kinsey."


    Delia froze for a moment, her eyes widening as she turned to look at N with visible anger.


    It must be that N had seduced Andre when she wasn''t paying attention. Otherwise, why would Andre, who had only met her twice, invite her to lunch?


    N, who had already nned to go out, ignored Delia''s burning re and smiled. "Sure, I was about to go for a walk anyway. But I''ll need to go back and change first."


    Andre smiled. "No rush. I''ll wait for you."


    N nodded and turned to leave the study.


    Delia bit her lip and then told Andre, "I just remembered I have something to do. I''ll leave first."


    Once outside the study, she quickly caught up with N. "Hey, why did you agree to Andre''s invitation?"


    N smiled. "I agreed because I wanted to. Why don''t you ask yourself why he invited me and not you?"


    Delia''s eyes widened with fury. "You! Say that again!"


    "I''ll say it as many times as you want. Andre is still waiting for me, so I''m going to change now," N replied.


    Without waiting for Delia''s response, she brushed past her and left.


    Delia was nearly out of her mind with rage. She grabbed N''s arm. "I warn you, he''s the man I like. If you dare to seduce him, I won''t let you off!"


    N didn''t even acknowledge Delia''s threat. "It seems like Ms. Kinsey really wants to match me with him. Otherwise, why would she have arranged for such a young tutor for me? Don''t you think?"


    N had already shared her marriage and children situation with the men Emerald had arranged for her.


    It seemed that, perhaps worried


    about her talking too much, Emerald had decided to assign the next


    match as her private tutor directly t


    was all a strategy to achieve her


    goal, by whatever means necessary.


    Delia scowled. "Even if my mom is trying to match you with him, Andre wouldn''t like a woman like you."


    "Oh? Really? But if I''m not mistaken, he just invited me to lunch," N countered.


    "You!" Delia snapped. "Don''t you remember your husband and son back in your country? How can you be so shameless?"


    "What does that have to do with you?" N shot back. "Instead of wasting time talking to me, why don''t you go tell Andre about my husband and child? Maybe her distance himself from me then."


    But honestly, Andre would probably still choose to have lunch with her.
