Ethan smiled half-heartedly. "When Vanessa was treatingback then, we spent every waking hour together. I know a thing or
two about her habits."
Ethan's reply was completely fine. However, Linus wondered if he was hearing things, for he felt like Ethan had emphasized the
words "spent every waking hour together".
After Ethan said that, he looked away as if he had never said anything.
In an attempt to avoid trouble, Olivia didn't say anything more to him. She tried not to draw attention.
After all, it was a banquet, not soutdoor restaurant. The dining atmosphere was very quiet, and only the sounds of the piano
being played live could be heard.
Olivia looked at the dishes, presented like a masterpiece. Even common vegetables were carved into the shape of flowers.
After the banquet, Mason excused himself. He said that he wanted the youngsters to mingle around.
It was a clear sign that he had intended for this banquet to be a blind date of sorts. Tatiana was taking the opportunity to check
out the potential candidates who could becLinus' bride.

The women who received the invitations all cfrom wealthy families. They were genuine rich young ladies, and every
movement they made was elegant and graceful.
Also, as expected, they all had high academic achievements.

They excelled in terms of both family and academic background. In contrast, looks didn't quite matter.
Tatiana nudged Linus. "It's a rare occasion for you to cback and stay for so many days, so let's get your marriage settled
while you're at it. Have a look at the women here."
Linus held the unlit cigarette between his teeth, looking a little upset. "Mom, I don't intend to get married yet."
"You're in your 30s, so you should start thinking about it.
Look at Ethan. His son can even go on missions now, but you're still single. No matter what, you have to try getting along with
women."
"Women are troublesome."
"What's so troublesabout them? Hurry and go ahead. The women who turned up tonight look quite decent to me. In terms
of personality and academic achievements, all of them are worthy of you.
"Remember, this is your dad’s order too. No matter what, you'll have to get a dance partner later!"
Linus tossed the cigarette away. "Ugh, you're so annoying."
He looked at the crowd. Most of them were familiar faces. Even though he didn't have any private connections with them, they

had grown up together.
All the women Linus eyed felt their hearts racing. After all, no one would want to decline the position as his partner.
But Linus wasn't interested at all when he met the passionate gazes.

When his gaze fell upon Olivia, who was sitting alone by the window and admiring the snow, he realized that he couldn't look
away anymore.
Olivia's features were quite common, but at that moment, she exuded a sense of loneliness that closed her off from the world.
For sreason, Linus had the urge to protect Olivia.
Linus walked over to Olivia and then stopped beside her.
"Vanessa, I-"
Ethan's voice interrupted him. "I've finally found you, Vanessa. Can you be my dance partner?"
Olivia looked at Ethan. Then, she nodded. "Sure."
Ethan turned to look at Linus. "What were you going to say?"
Linus had to force back the words he was about to say." Nothing. I was just going to ask Vanessa if she needs anything."
Smiling, Olivia said, "Thank you. It's quite lively tonight, and I like it a lot. I don't need anything."
"If there's anything Vanessa needs, I'll help her with it. You should talk to the other guests," Ethan said sincerely.
Linus had no choice but to change his mind. "Alright, please take good care of Vanessa."
When Linus had turned around and left, the sincere look remained on Ethan's face as he gently pinched Olivia's waist. "You're
quite something. Even he-"
"Is there anything wrong with Mr. Linus?"
Ethan looked away. "It's nothing."
