Elma still held onto the hope of a happy marriage for the kind girl Tilda.
And the man they swa today seemed to be a gentleman of noble standing.
Elma couldnât help but wish for them to unite, especially for the childâs sake.
At night, in the villa of the Moreno family.
Rosalynn was wide awake.
Having rested well earlier, she was now eagerly sketching designs on her drawing board.
Keegan had taken over most of her tasks, but she couldnât resist asking to do some work, indulging in drafting a few designs.
Her family and friendsâ advice to cut down on phone use left her with ample time to spare.
The room was enveloped in silence, broken only by the sound of her pencil strokes.
Eventually, she paused to drink some water, only to find her glass empty.
Noting that it was already ten oâclock and that Brian hadnât returned from his branch office work, she went downstairs with her glass.
Downstairs, she spotted Lyndon selecting a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet.
âSleep eludes you?â
Lyndon inquired, noticing Rosalynn descending the stairs.
âI just needed some water,â Rosalynn replied, gesturing with the glass in her hand.
Remembering their earlier encounter, she smiled and asked, âSo, what happened with you and Tilda earlier today?â
Lyndon hesitated for a second before admitting, âShe turned me down.

âShe didnât want to go out with you?â
âItâs not about dating.
I proposed marriage.
â
Rosalynn was shocked.
Her eyes grew wide, and she inquired, âYou proposed to her?â
âYes,â Lyndon confirmed, nodding.
âIsnât the end goal of dating to marry?â
Rosalynn chuckled.
âBut thatâs rushing things.
Youâre talking marriage without even dating first.
No wonder Tilda said no.
â
Why was he mentioning marriage so soon? Hadnât he ever had a girlfriend before?
In truth, Lyndon hadnât been one for casual dating.
After his past relationship, he wasnât interested in wasting time, so he went straight for marriage.
Rosalynn, thinking of Lyndonâs late girlfriend, bit her lip, at a loss for words.
