Leah had never suspected that Elliot would be the type of person who could lie so naturally, without any break in their expression.
He did it so smoothly!
George continued sending messages to Leah, coming clean about his finances.
[I did, indeed, put smoney with Mr. Foster. But, before we got registered, | got the money back from him. That money is all in
the card that | gave you.]
[Hmm... Your boss is only saying this so my parents won't look down on you. He is quite nice for doing this. We'll listen to him and
not expose him.]
[I know. | have to listen to him first before listening to you.]

Leah could not help but smile. She had felt so strongly about marrying George because she liked his straightforward and open
character. Sometimes, he was so direct that it made him seem a little naive.
Before she had met him, she had never seen a person who would express everything they felt on their face. Being with George
meant that she never had to guess what he was thinking. She was relaxed every moment she was with him. This was what she
liked about their relationship and was determined to stay with him.
When her parents asked her if she had truly considered everything when she married George, she had given them a decisive reply.
She had said that she would not marry anyone but George.
After the last incident, Leah's parents were no longer stubborn in their belief that they were a bad match.
If marrying George was a mistake, Leah could still make amends in the future.
"Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy, since George has married Leah, you all are a family. George's flat downtown is not bad. Why don't you two
check out of the hotel and stay there instead? Aren't you two going around town tomorrow? You can walk around downtown first.
Staying there would be convenient too." Elliot made arrangements on their behalf.
Leah's parents’ attitude toward George changed a little after Elliot mentioned George's fortune.
Listening to Elliot's eloquent speech made most people feel at ease.
Unlike George, who did not know how to put things delicately and even glared at people with his huge dark eyes.
Although they knew that George meant no ill will by glaring at them, they were still dissatisfied with how he presented himself.
Look at how eloquently Elliot spoke! A successful person was different from a normal one, indeed!
Leah's parents decided to heed Elliot's advice out of respect for him. They would move to George's flat that night.

They looked at George, waiting for his reaction.
George only lowered his head. He did not dare to look at anyone.
They thought that they were hallucinating. They focused their gazes on George once again. This time, George's head was so low, it
was almost touching the table.
They finally understood! George was not willing to let them stay in his flat!
Hah! Leah's parents were infuriated. They turned to look at their daughter.
Their daughter, who was usually so generous, was also behaving like George, lowering her head and avoiding their eyes!
If it were not for Elliot and Avery's presence, they would have slammed the table and left!
