At noon, ine, Madisyn, and Susan went out to grab lunch, leaving Dane to keep Erickpany.


    As they walked, ine suddenly inquired, “Susan, do you have a boyfriend?”


    Caught off guard, Susan responded, “No, I don’t.”


    “And what do you think of Dane?” ine asked, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.


    From the moment she met Susan, ine took a liking to her.


    Despite Susan being shy and reserved, her sweetness and good manners had charmed ine.


    Just now, ine had noticed something intriguing about Dane.


    Typically, Dane considered interactions with women a nuisance, but today, he seemed frequently distracted by Susan.


    ine was no fool-she quickly realized that Dane’s rescue of Susan’s grandfather wasn’t just a coincidence.


    Dane was always so strategic!


    Knowing her son well, ine recognized that Dane, being both proud and cunning, was unlikely to initiate anything.


    So, as his mother, she feltpelled to help him a little.


    As ine gazed expectantly at Susan, Susan blushed.


    “Mrs.


    Johns, why bring this up suddenly? Dane is Madisyn’s brother, and I regard him as my brother, too.”novelbin


    “But how do you see Dane as a man?” ine persisted, her gaze eager.


    At that, Susan’s thoughts drifted to a previous night, causing her cheeks to redden further.


    “Well… Dane..


    He’s definitely a good man.”


    ine’s excitement mounted as she observed Susan’s shyness.


    Maybe there was a spark between Susan and Dane?


    Could it be that they both harbored feelings for each other?


    “Susan, would you consider Dane? If you became my daughter-inw, you and Madisyn could live together.


    I’d be thrilled to have you as part of the family,” ine said, her eyes alight with hope.


    Susan felt a bit lightheaded.


    “But Mrs.


    Johns, shouldn’t you discuss this with Dane?”


    “No need.


    He’s fond of you; I’m certain of it,” ine responded with confidence, patting her chest.


    Madisyn watched silently, noticing it was clear to everyone but Susan that Dane had feelings for her.


    Susan’s face grew serious.


    “Mrs.


    Johns, I think there’s been a misunderstanding.


    He doesn’t have feelings for me.


    He’s interested in someone else.”


    ine was startled.


    “That can’t be right.


    I know my son.


    Susan, why do you think he’s interested in someone else?”


    “I saw it myself.


    That girl imed to be his girlfriend,” Susan answered, feeling a pang of sadness.


    Was there really such a profound misunderstanding between them?


    Madisyn was taken aback.


    So this was the reason for their awkward interactions! No wonder! She quickly inquired, “Susan, Dane denied it, didn’t he?”
