Elysia heard the words and turned her gaze to the group sitting on the couch, immediately spotting Robert.

She walked over slowly while Scott introduced, “This is my younger daughter, Elysia.” He then turned to Elysia and added, “Elysia, this is Mr. Davis and Mrs. Davis. Say hello.”

“Hello, Mr. Davis and Mrs. Davis,” said she.

“Good.” Matthew grinned from ear to ear. “I envy you, Scott, for having such a beautiful daughter.”

Rachel only offered a faint smile, her attitude toward Elysia starkly different from the one she had shown toward Emma. If she had to pick a future daughter–in–law between the two, Emma would be her ideal choice.

Although she had been stunned by Elysia’s beauty, she couldn’t forget that Elysia grew up in a small town. Deep down, she felt that Elysia wasn’t a match for Robert.

They were a great family, so marriages for their children involved many factors. Despite her dissatisfaction with Elysia, if Elysia could bring some benefit to the Davis family, she would have to suppress her discomfort and take her in.

Elysia observed everyone in the room before finally setting her eyes on Robert. He didn’t seem too happy. She couldn’t help but curl her lips, thinking, ‘Why would I care if he was happy or not?‘

Matthew noticed Elysia’s gesture and said, “I have to be honest, Scott. We came here today for another matter. Now that the children have grown up, don’t you think it’s time to discuss their marriage?”

Scott chuckled. “I was thinking the same thing, Matthew.” He had been waiting for this day for a long time. Although the Davis family wasn’t wealthy, their roots ran deep in Sivro, and they could provide great support for the development of the Rosewood family.

However, it wasn’t his place to bring up the subject if the boy’s family hadn’t mentioned it.
