In fact, Irish wanted to tell Jordan about her awkward relationship with Joseph. Joseph couldn't listen to her as Joseph was a man who would not change his mind easily as long as he had made his decision. It was related to Jordan's future, so Joseph must be resolute about his decision.
However, Jordan looked so upset with a frown which touched Irish somehow. She was a soft-hearted woman, so she had no choice but to promise Jordan.
At night on Monday, Irish only needed to give her students half a day's class. She went to the supermarket and bought some food for a meal. When she was about to leave after she paid the bill, she happened to see someone familiar.
Taking a closer look, Irish found that it was Leo.
Irish was shocked. 'Why is he there?' thought Irish to herself.
When she was about to greet him, a woman walked over to him, holding his arms with a big smile, and said in an affectionate, sweet voice, "I am going to make steak for you tonight, okay?" The woman turned over, pointing at the container, and said, "Wow, the steak looks so good. I am going to buy it."
Irish could only see Leo's side face, but it was clear that he looked so impatient. Finally, he withdrew his arms and said indifferently, "We can eat it at the restaurant if you want to eat. There is no need for you to cook personally."
"Leo, I want to cook it for you personally. I would like to do everything for you," The woman replied in a soft tone as if she didn't perceive Leo's impatience.
However, Leo ignored her words directly and was going to leave. But soon, he was stopped by the woman who stared at him and kept saying in a soft tone. "Leo, you have promised my father. Don't forget that."
Although Leo was reluctant to stay with her, he forced himself to give up his idea to leave.
Irish hastily circumvented from the other side and then took a quick glimpse at the woman.
Astonished, Irish found that she was the woman who sailed to the island and even kept an ambiguous relationship with Joseph.
Her name was Rosy. But why was she there with Leo? It confused Irish.
But soon, Irish remembered the day when Leo hung up the phone impatiently. Was this woman looking for Leo in New York?
But why did she keep a close relationship with Joseph?
At the thought of this, Irish felt sick, and she then walked away quickly.

It was a day for Roy's parents to meet Cassie's parents. They had never met before, and Roy was worried that his parents would talk nonsense to Cassie's parents. Roy knew his mother well since she was born into a notable family, so she was ignorant.
However, Shirley promised him that she would not say anything else to Cassie's parents except for something related to their wedding. Their wedding was coming soon, and it was time for their parents to meet each other.
Roy agreed with his mother. It was Roy who had been talking to Cassie's parents about their wedding for so long. But recently, Cassie's mother asked him about his parents' opinion, while Roy replied that he was in charge of his own marriage. But after careful consideration, Roy felt that it was a tradition for both parents to meet before their wedding, so he arranged for today's meeting.
But Roy didn't take them to the private club where Shirley usually ate there, because he was afraid that Cassie's parents would not feel at ease. Therefore, he booked a restaurant called Godear.
Shirley was different from how she usually behaved and chatted without stopping. What's more, she was also dressed elegantly but plainly. It seemed that she assured Roy what she had promised earlier.
They chatted pleasantly with each other while Shirley also listened to them with a soft smile, and she also acted as an understanding mother. Moreover, Shirley was generous and lavished Cassie with a rich betrothal gift.
Indeed, Cassie's parents did not care about how much of a betrothal gift they would give to Cassie since they only hoped that Cassie could live a happy life with Roy.
However, as they finished the meal, Shirley said that she hoped Cassie and Roy could live with them for some time after their wedding. After hearing that, Cassie's parents looked so astonished yet embarrassed. Roy also perceived that, so he hastily said, "Mom, we are adults now and we need to live our own lives."
Shirley stared at them and replied with a grin, "Roy, don't worry. I am not asking you to live with us for the rest of your life. Cassie will be a part of our family as soon as she marries you. And there are some family rules she has to learn and she also needs to get familiar with other people in our family. Don't worry, I will teach her what to do."
Before Roy could say something, Shirley turned to Cassie and asked, "What do you think, Cassie?"
Cassie had been silent for some time, and she only briefly replied after hearing Shirley's words. "That's fine."
Shirley kept smiling as she got the answer from Cassie, while Roy was shocked and kept gazing at her.
When their parents all left, Roy couldn't help but ask, "Cassie, why didn't you refuse my mom's request? Do you really want to live with them?"
Looking up at him, Cassie's eyes flickered, but soon the light faded. She lowered down and said nothing, but Roy soon understood what she was thinking. "Cassie, you don't want to get married to me, so you don't care about our married life at all, right?"
Cassie turned over, looking outside without reply, while Roy clenched the steering wheel and kept silent.
But soon, he grinned, encircled Cassie into his arms, and said, "Cassie, let's live abroad when you are pregnant. We could have a few babies."
Shocked, Cassie looked at him since she didn't expect he would say this.
Roy kept a soft smile and felt happy to be with her. "Cassie, I am content to marry you. You are my wife even if you are reluctant. No one could know what would happen in the future. But believe that everything will get better," Roy persuaded her.
Although Cassie felt uncomfortable to hear this, she didn't push him away." Whatever," Cassie said after a long while.

Irish didn't know if Joseph would come back on Monday. She nestled on the couch and recalled the scene in the supermarket. In fact, she was eager to call Leo and asked something about the woman since she wanted to figure out her relationship with Joseph and Leo. But she was worried that Rosy would still be with him and that it might not be convenient for Leo to answer her phone. Moreover, she also promised Jordan that she would help him, which also made her distracted.
'How can I talk about that with Joseph? Will he be angry?' thought Irish.
But soon, the entertainment news attracted her attention. It was reported that the sex goodness Becky dated a rich businessman at a hotel. And the paparazzi found that the man was the CEO of the Runestone Group, Joseph.
