Luis found this comment rude and didn't appreciate it.

He stopped and asked Holley, "What do you mean by that?"

Holley was surprised. She knew Luis could be short-tempered, but she didn't expect him to be so angry. It was the first time he had been directly angry with her. She asked him gently, "Luis, do you regret it? If you do, you can go after her. It's not too late."

This approach was unfamiliar to Luis.

Holley was straightforward and didn't hold back.

He controlled his anger and simply replied, “You're overthinking it."

Holley's expression changed, and she burst into laughter, saying, "You scared me! When you have a serious look, it's really intimidating."

Really?

Luis was somewhat perplexed. He had hardly fought with Elva, and she had never seemed to be fearful of him. Whenever work troubled him, she was always understanding. Their dates had always been flawless.

Holley was oblivious to any tension. She conversed with him while selecting dresses, asking for his input.

Nevertheless, Luis stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, staring down below.

The matchmaking event between the Finch and Fowler families downstairs should have concluded.

The Finch couple stayed back to settle the bill, while Kyler escorted the Fowler family out. He chivalrously opened the car door for Elva's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fowler. Finally, he gently helped Elva into the car. As she was about to close the car door, he leaned in and said something that elicited a slight smile from Elva.

Even from a distance, Luis could discern the faint smile on her Lips.

It appeared she was content.

Was she considering a relationship with Kyler?

Feeling uneasy, Luis subconsciously reached for his cigarette case, about to light one. A server approached and politely reminded him, “Sir, smoking is mot permitted here. There's a designated smoking area in the front. Would you like me to show you the way?"

Luis stored the cigarette back in its case and closed it.

Being polite and well-mannered, he nodded apologetically and said, "I apologize."

The server smiled and stepped away.
