“Do you think she’ll say yes?” Theresa sneered. She knew Cristina had never forgotten Eugene, but he had. broken
her heart and she wouldn’t agree to marry him so easily.
Eugene said, “I don’t know, so I was hoping you could help me.”
“I won’t help you,” Theresa refused outright.
“Aren’t we friends?”

Theresa frowned. “Mr. Oneill, don’t threaten me with this. I won’t betray my friend.”
Eugene said, “You know Cristina likes me. I just want to be with her. You don’t have to do anything except speak up
for me. What do you think?”
“Then why did you leave her? I don’t understand.”
Eugene lowered his eyes. Something had happened to his family back then.
“Uncle.” At that moment, Rose came downstairs, approached Eugene, and sat down beside him. She glanced at
Eugene and then at Theresa across the table. “Uncle, why are you here so early? What were you talking about?”
She looked at Theresa suspiciously.
Eugene looked at her. “Nothing. Why are you up so early?”
“I couldn’t sleep.”
Theresa stood up and went to the kitchen.
Rose stared after her and said to Eugene, “Stay away from her and don’t talk to her. She’s up to no good.”
Eugene asked Rose, “What happened to you?”
Rose froze, “What do you mean?”
“You never talk behind people’s backs.” Rose had always been obedient and polite. Eugene was surprised
at her change.
Rose said, “She’s not a bad woman. She bullies me.”
“Why hasn’t your husband been here lately? Ask him out to lunch.”

“Okay” At the mention of Jimmy, Rose had a delighted and adoring look in her eyes. “You didn’t attend my wedding.
I have long wanted to introduce him to you. Jimmy is a nice guy!”
Eugene smiled. People in love were silly.
Rose messaged Jimmy and asked him out to lunch.
Hearing that Rose’s uncle would be there, Jimmy made a reservation and offered to pay.
Rose said to Eugene, “Jimmy said he’d pay
Eugene nodded. “Okay”
Jimmy arrived at the restaurant early. He hadn’t been getting along with Charlie and Pat lately and had no chance
to go back to the office. He could only pin his hopes on Rose’s uncle Maybe he would have a chance to go back if he
could impress him! With this in mind, he was excited.
Soon Rose and Eugene arrived.
“Jimmy,” Rose came over, sat down beside Jimmy, and said, “This is my uncle.”
