Chapter 571

Chapter 571:

“Go on, tell me what you’re thinking.”

“The only way to get Milly and Howard together is to send them abroad,” Andrew said. “I own an island they could stay on, but the thing is, they wouldn’t be able to come back to the country.”

“That’s not going to work. Howard cares about our family too much,” Madisyn dismissed the idea. Saying it out loud only made her feel more frustrated. She could solve so many other problems, but when it came to this, nothing seemed right. It was as if the only way to save Milly was to tear the Serpentine Palers down.

Without missing a beat, Madisyn turned to her computer, typing furiously to follow the most recent activity of the Serpentine Palers, coming from her undercover sources. Andrew observed her closely, noticing the serious expression on her face and the reflection on her screen. It revealed the movements of the Serpentine Palers… So, she was even capable of getting that information…

By 6 in the evening, Madisyn and Andrew made their way back to her parents’ villa.

Elaine, in high spirits, had taken it upon herself to prepare a grand dinner.

“Howard finally decided to stop worrying me,” Elaine remarked with a broad smile.

Now that two of her sons had found someone special, how could she not be over the moon with happiness?

“Yeah,” Madisyn replied, not feeling like saying much. She forced a small, polite smile.

A short while later, Susan and Dane made their appearance as well.

The living room was buzzing with energy as everyone waited for Howard and his girlfriend to show up. At 5:30, the couple finally walked in.

Elaine rushed to welcome them, but when she saw the woman, her face showed surprise. “Oh, it’s you.”

“Good evening, Mrs. Johns. I’m Nalani,” the woman introduced herself, dressed in a graceful white gown that added to her elegant and soft demeanor.

Although Elaine was caught off guard, she quickly recovered, warmly inviting her in. “Come and have a seat.”

Nalani gave a warm smile and nodded, gracefully settling into her seat.

Throughout dinner, Elaine chatted excitedly with Nalani, who managed the conversation with poise, ensuring the mood stayed light and enjoyable.

Meanwhile, Madisyn couldn’t help but glance at Howard every now and then.

Howard looked just as polished and handsome as always, his face holding a soft smile, but his eyes lacked any real happiness.

“We’re planning to get engaged by the end of the year, Mom,” he said.

Elaine looked a little surprised. “That is quite soon. Do you want to choose the date yourselves, or should I take care of it for you?”

“We’ll leave that up to you,” Howard answered.

Elaine beamed, happily agreeing to the task.

After dinner, Howard escorted Nalani to his room so she could rest.

Once inside, Nalani glanced at him with a shy smile. “Your family is so lovely.”

Howard gave her a brief nod, his smile barely there. “Go ahead and rest.”
