Waylen looked thoughtfully at his youngest daughter, realizing that he had not been as attentive to her in recent years. Now that she was a big girl, he felt it was inappropriate to interfere excessively.

However, he believed it was important for her to consider settling down at this stage of her life.

Of course, he wouldn't say it out in front of her directly.

Instead, he gently suggested to Elva, “Your mother knows a few respectable young men. If you find the time, perhaps you could meet them."

Elva did not object.

She did not disclose any information about her relationship with Luis either.

As the night drew to a close, the party concluded and the guests departed one by one.

Elva returned to her apartment in her red sports car. This apartment, which she shared with Luis, was purchased by him and was elegantly decorated, making it feel very much like home.

However, Luis had rarely been home in the past six months.

After taking a shower, Elva relaxed on the sofa, painting her toenails. Luis' visits had decreased from twice a week to once a week, and now she was Lucky to see him two or three times a month.

She suspected he might be seeing someone else.

Reflecting on her father's comments from earlier that evening, Elva considered that he might have heard rumors which led him to suggest she meet other men. She thought it might be a good idea to bring this up with Luis.

She had a feeling that Luis would return that night.

Indeed, Luis showed up around midnight.

He was deeply involved in the family business, which required him to attend many social functions, likely causing him to return smelling faintly of alcohol. Elva didn't mind this. He was always in control and never allowed himself to become intoxicated.

"You're back!"

Elva took his coat and kindly suggested, "Sit down. I'll prepare a bath for you."

As she started to walk away, he caught her hand.

He drew her close and hugged her. His suit contrasted with her simple bathrobe, adding an intimate charm to the moment... He gently lifted her chin and kissed her deeply.

They had not been intimate in almost a month, and his desire was evident as he gently pinned her down on the sofa...
