Her expression was as relaxed as ever, with her eyes and brows revealing the usual lazy indifference.
"Well, judging by your understanding of me, you are rather pleased withas your future granddaughter-in- law." She spoke with no trace of arrogance, only a quiet confidence in her grasp of Nathaniel's character.
After a brief pause, she continued, her tone casual, "So, the first reason is that you wanted to seewithout involving Rhys in it too much." "You are very smart." "I know," Harlee replied, completely unfazed by the compliment.

"The second reason is that you want Rhys to return to the Green family mansion. I bet it has something to do with an internal matter within the Green family itself." "You have guessed both points correctly," Nathaniel said with a satisfied nod.
"Rhys certainly has good taste, but let's not forget the beginning of your relationship with Rhys was largely due to my acting skills back then. Otherwise, how else would you two have had such a deep connection?" Nathaniel's chest swelled with pride as he remembered how his theatrics had led to the bungee jumping incident, which ultimately brought Rhys and Harlee together. While praising Rhys, he didn't forget to throw himself a compliment in the process.

After all, Rhys lacked charm and was hopeless when it cto sweet-talking.
"Harlee, you are incredible in every way.
But tell me, what's with your taste? Is it a little off?" Nathaniel asked with a frown.
"Rhys is quite dull.
He's not even half as handsas I was at his age. I'm curious. What is it that you see in him?" Harlee's lips curled into a playful smile as she met his gaze.

His cooking is top-notch.
And actually, he has quite a way with words, which contrasts with your impression of him being dull. His sweet talk bringsjoy.
His ability to handle things neatly is commendable."
Nathaniel's mouth hung open in surprise. While he knew Rhys could cook, Harlee's mention of Rhys' O sweet talk seemed unfathomable.
Was this really his usually stoic grandson she was talking about?
Harlee wasn't the least bit bothered by Nathaniel's stunned silence m Instead she casually shifted her gaze over his shoulder, a playful smile dancing on her lips.
