Seeing her smile, Zoey liked her even more and chuckled.

"Oh, I can't beat Mark on that. I've been keeping an eye on the interaction between you two. I suppose he's determined to make advances to you with his arts of words."

Cecilia blushed even more at Zoey's words.

Just as Cecilia was about to say something in response, the butler came over and performed a respectful bow.

"Merry Christmas, madams.

Sorry for interrupting you. There's a Mr. Watson who wants to see you. He's with his son."

Mr. Waston? This name didn't ring a bell to Zoey. More strangely, he brought his son with him.

Annoyed, Zoey rubbed her temples and shook her head, saying, "There are no available ladies in this house. Rena had already married into the Fowler family. Why did this man bring his son here? What does this man look like?"

“He appears to be a respectable individual," the butler said with a smile. Then, he looked around before whispering, “This gentleman is the wealthiest businessman only second to Brandon in Heron. I've inquired about it and learned that his son has some connections with Rena."

While Zoey didn't know about Albert, Cecilia did.

"The young man is probably Albert. He used to present roses to Rena.

But Rena wasn't interested in him. Whenever he did, Rena would only throw them away. If you ask me, I think he's just flattering himself."

Hearing Cecilia's words, Zoey was amused and sniggered. She now understood why her arrogant son only had eyes for Cecilia. Indeed,

Cecilia was a lovely girl.

Zoey kept her thoughts to herself and put on a poker face.

“Let them come in," she said to the butler.

The butler nodded and left shortly after.

“Choose your words carefully when talking to them," Zoey warned.

Cecilia wasn't displeased at Zoey's words. Instead, she playfully elbowed Zoey's side and answered, "I know."

Previously, Zoey was a bit annoyed since she had no mood to deal with any visitors. But now, her heart was overflowing with so much joy Cecilia had brought to her.
