Mike left the house later in the evening after James Li came over to pick him up and headed together to find their friends. When she told Neil about her grandfather's suggestion, his face glow with excitement. Both Sophie and Lucas were more than happy and they welcomed Edith to stay at their place for a few days.

As the plan to stay over at the Mo's villas was unplanned, Edith had to head back to her grandfather's place and grab a few clothes and necessities. 

Neil glanced at the clothing packed in her small bag and raised a brow. "Is that enough?"

"I'm staying for one night. Why wouldn't it be enough?"

Neil did not say anything and continued to stare at Edith as she continued to pack her things. His parents had already agreed to let her stay at their place for a few days, but this girl was only intending to stay with them for one night.

Though Neil wanted to voice his complaint, he knew that it was not easy for them to come back and Edith wanted to spend more time with her grandfather.

"I'm done," Edith announced. She spun around and suddenly found herself in a warm embrace. Just as she tilted her head to look up at Neil, her lips were captured in a gentle kiss.

Edith closed her eyes to enjoy his kisses and wrapped her arms around his waist. After a while, Neil pulled away and Edith looked at him with a puzzled look. "What was that for?" 

Although Neil was someone who would often find the opportunity to touch her, Edith was not expecting that kiss to come.

"Later when we went back, I wouldn't have much chance to kiss you," Neil said with a frown. "My mom will drag you to chat with her, then Hazel will ask you to accompany her to play."

Edith looked at his slightly pouting face and laughed.

Surprisingly, this Iceblock would have this expression and acted coy with her.

She raised her hand to bop his nose. "Why do I feel like you're even clingier than Hazel?"

"What's wrong with being clingy towards my girlfriend?" Neil hugged her tightly. "Why do you make me like you so much?" Her scent wafted to his nose and Neil thought that her scent had a calming effect on him.

Last night, he did not sleep well and Edith's scent made him relaxed. If they were not in a hurry to return to his parents' place, Neil would have pulled the girl in his embrace to bed. He did not want to do anything except hugging her to sleep.

With Edith's urging, Neil finally released her and the two went back to Neil's place. When they arrived, Neil noticed another vehicle parked outside. A frown appeared on his face as he wondered if there were guests coming over.

Ever since his parents moved over to Z Town, they rarely received guests. Z Town was a small town and most people would not want to come over unless if they wanted to spend their vacation by the beach. Therefore, to see a luxury car parked in front of his house during this festivity season was a little bit strange for Neil.

When Neil walked inside with Edith, his ears picked up the familiar sound of chattering voice and laughter. 

The sound of chattering stopped as they entered the living area. Soon a few heads turned to them and Neil watched his mother's awkward smile. Neil's expression turned dark as he shifted his gaze towards the three women sitting on the sofa. He recognized the elderly woman as his mother's eldest sister, Ruby Huang.

"Neil, you're back." Sophie stood up and walked over to her son. 

Neil walked over to them and stopped. "Eldest Auntie," Neil greeted politely. 

Ruby nodded. Her lips curled into a happy smile. "We were heading over to L City and passed over this town. I remember that my sister is now living here and decided to come over and take a look. This place doesn't look too bad."

Neil merely smiled upon hearing the elderly woman's words. His parents have moved over to Z Town after the company faced big trouble and his father was unwell. It has been more than five years and this auntie had never thought to come over and visit them.

"Right," Ruby turned to the two young girls beside her. "You should remember your cousin, Tiffany. She had recently received her degree in business administration. How about you consider letting her work with MH Group?"

Sophie's expression changed immediately.

At this time, a younger girl with shoulder-length hair and knee-length dress stepped forward with a confident smile on her face. "Cousin."

Neil smiled at his aunt. "If she's interested to work in MH Group, she can follow the procedure as everyone else." He shifted his gaze to his cousin and continued, "There's a downloadable form on the company's website. Just fill them in and email them to the HR department. If you're qualified, the HR Department will contact you for an interview."

Ruby looked at Neil with displeasure. "Why can't you help your cousin? Aren't we family?"

Neil chuckled at her words. "It's not that I did not want to help. But Eldest Auntie, previously, you have said that we should never mix family relationships and business together. What's important is a person's capability in doing business. I think it's the same with employment. If my cousin is capable, then she can try to apply at MH Group."

Ruby frowned, and a while later, her expression turned white. 

Those words were the same as what she had said the last time Sophie had come to find her when MH Group was facing financial trouble years ago. Hearing that Neil had returned the words to her, Ruby felt her face hot.

"Eldest Auntie, if there's nothing else, then I will have to excuse myself," Neil said. "As you can see, I have a guest that I need to entertain."

Sophie turned to her son and smiled. "You go upstairs and show Edith to her room. After walking around for the whole days, she should be tired."

It was then that Ruby noticed Edith's presence. She gave Edith a look over and turned to Sophie again. "Sophie, this is?"

"Eldest Auntie, this is Edith, my fiancee."

The people around had different expressions on their faces. Sophie's eyes were bright and her smile widened. Meanwhile, Ruby and the two girls were not very happy with the introduction.

Edith turned to Neil in a daze. 

When did she become his fiancee?
