As the conversation continued, she suggested they all step outside for some fresh air, giving the young ones a chance to talk.

Lilah was still not allowed to go out, so she stayed in the living room with Gerard. Since Lilah wasn't going, Miranda stayed too, and naturally, Cason didn't leave either.

Fortunately, their presence eased the awkwardness for the two young people.

"Miss Zhan, you know my situation. Shall we try dating? If you find me trustworthy, we can discuss marriage later," Zhou Yuechuan proposed.

His words were reasonable, not rushing into marriage right away.

Livia instinctively looked at Lilah. Ever since Brenda agreed to let her manage Brenlla, Livia had completely let down her guard and relied heavily on Lilah.

Lilah glanced at Miranda.

The two sisters exchanged a look, understanding each other's thoughts without words.

"Mr. Zhou, may I check your pulse?" Miranda asked directly, referring to a traditional way to gauge someone's health and sincerity.

Livia was puzzled. Why check his pulse?

Was she worried about his health?

Zhou Yuechuan seemed a bit taken aback too, but he didn't refuse and obediently extended his hand.

Miranda placed her fingers on his wrist, pausing for a moment before nodding at Lilah, clearly indicating her approval.

Lilah felt a bit helpless; her sister was always so straightforward, never considering discretion.

"Mr. Zhou seems sincere and likely a very responsible person,"

Lilah signaled to Livia, encouraging her to go ahead.

Livia's face turned a deep shade of red.

Nighttime.

"Why are you so involved in everyone else's business?" Gerard asked, his dissatisfaction evident as he stared at Lilah.

He had initially thought that with Lilah staying at home, they would have more time together. However, she was always eager to help others, one moment assisting this person, the next that one.

He felt neglected.

Lilah paused, then sat up in bed. "No way, with such a handsome husband like you, how could I be interested in anyone else's business?" she replied, trying to appease him.

Gerard's expression remained unchanged.

Lilah placed her hands on his shoulders, looking earnestly into his eyes. "Think about it, could anyone else be as good to me as you are? Or as handsome..."
