Denton pretended to be surprised. \u201cYou know me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Maya nodded. \u201cMy dad said you were here, which is why he sent me. I wasn\u2019t originally planning to study abroad in Pastalia.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
my\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maya seemed pretty straightforward, laying everything out right after they met. \u201cBut dad said the Harborton business circle is declining, and going it alone isn\u2019t the best strategy for the future anymore. The Gills need an arranged marriage, and you\u2019re the best choice.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maya put it all on the table\u2013her father and brother hoped she could contribute to the family, specifically through an arranged marriage with the Lincolns.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With Curtis gone, Denton had emerged as the dark horse of the Lincolns.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m the heiress of the Gill Group. You\u2019ve probably heard of me. If you\u2019re also interested in an arranged marriage, we could try getting to know each other.\u201d Maya extended her hand confidently to Denton, giving him a smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton was surprised. He hadn\u2019t expected Maya to be so direct.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had assumed that if the Gills were masters of the game, Maya would be a cunning fox, cut from the same cloth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But from what he could see so far, Maya was a very frank and straightforward young woman.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright.\u201d Denton nodded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He also needed to spend more time with Maya to figure out whether she was genuinely innocent or just putting on an act.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the estate, Yolanda had slept for a day and a night and hadn\u2019t gone to class.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Adriana came home, Yolanda was just groggily emerging from her room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s going on?\u201d Adriana was worried about Yolanda.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yolanda sniffled. \u201cI caught a cold.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was probably guilt taking its toll.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cDenton\u2019s not here.\u201d Seeing Yolanda looking around, Adriana said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yolanda breathed a sigh of relief. \u201cAdriana, can you help me talk to Denton? I only have sisterly feelings for him, absolutely no romantic feelings. What happened that night was all my fault. Whatever compensation he wants, I can give him, but\u2026 can everyone just pretend nothing happened from now on?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yolanda had been distressed all night long.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t know what to do.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDenton most likely has feelings for you. He\u2019s hoping you\u2019ll take responsibility.\u201d Adriana looked at Yolanda innocently.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yolanda slumped onto the couch like a sack of potatoes. \u201cI\u2019m done for\u2026 I need to get married as soon as possible.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She really didn\u2019t want any entanglement with Denton.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She truly only saw Denton as a younger\u00a0<\/p>\n
brother.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYolanda, there\u2019s no need to rush into marriage because of this. You can talk things through with Denton. He shouldn\u2019t be the type of kid who won\u2019t take no for an answer.\u201d Adriana felt troubled for both of them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This was probably a cursed connection.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll try.\u201d Yolanda nodded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She\u2019d try to see if she could communicate normally with Denton.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If Denton could also pretend nothing happened, that would be ideal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That evening, when Denton came home, he brought Yolanda\u2019s favorite pastries.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Yolanda kept avoiding him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton felt a bit dejected but still put the pastries in the fridge, sending her a message not to forget to cat them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But the next morning, when Denton opened the fridge, the pastries hadn\u2019t been touched at all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He left for school feeling dejected after eating breakfast, not saying much to Curtis or Adriana all morning.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThis kid\u2026\u201d Even Curtis could tell something was off with Denton\u2019s mood.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHe and Yolanda\u2026 something might have happened.\u201d Adriana softly explained the situation to Curtis.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis paused for a moment, then nodded. \u201cThis kind of thing, let them work it out themselves.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The two of them remained in this standoff for about two weeks, but Denton was the first to lose his patience.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He came home from school early and cornered Yolanda at the front door.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYolanda\u2026 you\u2019ve been avoiding me.\u201d Denton said with a hint of hurt in his voice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yolanda glanced awkwardly at Adriana, who was leaving with her, and cleared her throat. \u201cAdriana and I are heading to the hospital. She\u2019s about to have the baby. Whatever it is, we can talk after the baby\u2019s born.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYolanda, you should talk things out with Denton. Let my aunt and uncle go with me first.\u201d Adriana patted Yolanda\u2019s hand and got in the car.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Left with no choice, Yolanda had to face Denton first. \u201cSo\u2026 Denton, about what happened that night, can we just pretend it never happened? You didn\u2019t lose out either, right?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you really dislike me that much, Yolanda?\u201d Denton looked at Yolanda.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not that I dislike you. It\u2019s just\u2026 I don\u2019t have those kinds of feelings for you, understand? To me, you\u2019re just like a younger brother. This situation makes me really uncomfortable, like \u2026 like I took advantage of my own little brother.\u201d Yolanda didn\u2019t know if Denton could understand her explanation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton looked at Yolanda with disappointment, remaining silent for a long time before finally nodding. \u201cI understand. You don\u2019t have to feel uncomfortable anymore, Yolanda. I won\u2019t put you in this position again.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With that, Denton turned and left.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yolanda wanted to say something more, but Denton had already gone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yolanda stood there in silence for a long while. Truth be told, she wasn\u2019t completely oblivious to the fact that Denton seemed to have different feelings for her, but Denton was still young, and his emotions weren\u2019t stable yet. She didn\u2019t dare to take that gamble.\u00a0<\/p>\n
