When Aurelia went for her trial, the owner showered her with praises, so it was only a matter of course that Aurelia
got to stay.
It was just that her payment was lower than others because she only had a temporary residence permit and did not
have an official status.
Aurelia did not mind. She had never lived this openly in broad daylight. Back in Melorian, she had often said self-
deprecatingly that she was a sewer rat. At that time, she would not even dare imagine that she could work a proper
job under broad daylight one day—that she could make a living for herself by working and earning a salary.
She appreciated this opportunity that was hard to come by and worked harder than everyone else. Her plan was to
save enough money and return Cordelia the rent that she had paid for her, then continue to save up for university.
Once they got familiar, the owner liked the pretty girl who was capable and diligent, chatting and having tea with

This afternoon, Aurelia was embroidering on a customer’s clothes. The owner served her some tea, seeing how
focused she was.
“Take a break! This isn’t urgent!”
Aurelia smiled and emptied the cup of tea.
“You’ve been working the whole morning. Your eyes must be tired?”
“I’m alright!” Aurelia rolled her shoulders. “I’m not tired!”
“Girls your age work as little as they get to and hang out on the streets in their free time!” the owner said with a
smile. “Instead, you’re here working so hard!”
“I’m making as much as I can!” Aurelia’s melodious voice was like tinkling silver bells. “Besides, I really like this job. I
can make money and fulfill my hobby. I—”
Her eyes flitted around before she remembered the saying. “What can I have against it!?”
The owner laughed, amused. She did not just hire Aurelia for work, but she also taught the girl to write and read, so
the girl’s Acian had improved significantly.
“Say, Aurelia.” The owner fanned her and looked at her lovingly. “You really don’t have a family?”
Aurelia paused before shaking her head with a smile.
“Not even one family member?”
“Madam, would I be chased out of Chaiseland if I had someone?”
The owner broke into a wide grin and went closer to her. “Then… you must want a family, right?”
Aurelia did not quite understand what she was saying but went along and nodded.
“Aurelia.” The owner held her hand. “To be honest, I liked you the moment you came to my shop! It’s magical how

The owner grinned wide. “I’ll stop going in rounds! Aurelia, I have three sons. My eldest is a teacher, my second
works in a foreign trading company, and my youngest is still in university… Well, all three of them look decent. Not
to say they are very handsome, but they look fine! Heh… most importantly, none of them has ever dated!”
Aurelia widened her eyes.
“Aurelia, if you’re agreeable, I’ll ask all three of them back this weekend so you can meet them?”
“No, Madam, this…” Aurelia panicked.
“You can pick any of my three sons. Date whichever you like, okay?”
“…”
“Aurelia, I promise they’ll be nice to you no matter which one you date! I can guarantee my sons’ characters!
“What do you think? Is it a yes?”
Aurelia plastered on a smile and contemplated rejecting the owner when a stern voice sounded from the door.
“No!”
