However, Elva was very selective with her suitors. Thus, they both simply went about their own lives and gradually forgot each other.

Time flew swiftly.

Half a year later, Joann began to worry about her son. She feared that Luis might remain single forever!

He not only struggled to find a suitable partner but also grew increasingly indifferent towards women altogether!

Every time she brought up the topic, Luis would say, "Finding the right person isn't easy! Plus, I'm busy with work!"

After discussing with Everett, Joann enrolled Luis in a dating TV show sponsored by the Mendez family, hoping he might meet a suitable woman there. Perhaps he would connect with one of them!

But to their surprise, they discovered that Elva was also invited to the show as one of the female guests.

Luis endured a grueling 16-hour bus journey to reach a mountainous retreat. The house was modest-small but fully equipped.

The Mendez family being the main sponsors of the variety show, had prompted the producer to welcome Luis in person. The producer outlined the show's premise: living with a female guest for two weeks.

“Of course, there are no cameras in the bedroom, but the rest of the house is equipped with hidden cameras," the producer explained.

Upon hearing this, Luis frowned, "Such a bizarre show. Do sponsors actually support this?"

The producer, slightly irritated, responded, "Sir, we've secured a top-tier actress for this. She comes from a wealthy background and doesn't usually take variety shows. It was sheer luck she had a gap in her schedule!"

Top-tier actress, wealthy background...

Luis’ frown deepened, just as Elva stepped out of a car. She looked just as surprised to see him.

The producer caught their expressions and beamed, "You two know each other? That's even better. The chemistry will be natural!"

Worried they might reconsider, the producer hastily left.

Alone in the expansive wilderness, Luis and Elva faced each other.

"Are you behind this, Luis?"

"If you're looking to make amends, just say it, Elva!”

They continued their silent standoff.
