Maia didn’t say much from start to finish, mostly silently eating. By the time the late–night meal ended, they said their goodbyes at the food stall and went their separate ways.

“Maia, I’ll drive you home. It’s almost midnight, and I’m not at ease with you taking a cab alone,” Nigel said.

At this point, it was hard for Maia to refuse, so she nodded and followed Nigel towards where his car was parked. It was a bit of a distance from the cafe to Nigel’s car.

“Maia, if I remember correctly, Elena is the daughter of the head of the shipping group, right?

Nigel asked.

Maia replied, “Yes, Nigel, do you know about the shipping group?”

Nigel smiled, “I’ve received their commission before, and I’ve met her father.”

Maia nodded. She should have thought of it earlier. Lawyers like Nigel, even if they didn’t directly involve themselves in the business world, would still have close connections with people in those circles.

“I just didn’t expect Errol to be with Elena. After all, he loved Celia so much. I thought he wouldn’t be able to get over it for a while. Now it seems that Errol has a strong recovery ability. That’s a good thing. As his sister, you should be relieved, right?” Nigel’s tone was gentle.

Maia shook her head, “It’s because of this that I’m even more worried about Errol. No one can be immune from suffering. Errol has established a connection with the shipping company in such a short time. Nigel, do you really think he has truly moved on from Celia’s departure?”

Nigel was slightly stunned, seemingly understanding something. “Are you suggesting that Errol is using marriage as a trade?”

Maia looked at Nigel, nodded slightly, and sighed, “Yes, only someone heartless would be so indifferent to matters of the heart. Errol marrying Elena is only for the sake of the vineyard’s export business. As you know, the Welbeck family’s shipping business is substantial.”

“I never thought Celia’s departure would make Errol become like this… sigh…” Nigel shook his head gently, sighed, and then continued, “But, we still have to think positively. Maybe in the days to come, Errol will gradually fall in love with Elena. After all, she is a very good girl, and it’s evident that she likes Errol a lot.

Upon hearing Nigel’s words, Maia was momentarily stunned and then said, “Nigel, don’t you think what Errol is doing is unfair to Elena? He sacrifices his own happiness and uses his marriage as a transaction. But what does it have to do with Elena?”
