Elder Edward's eyes sparkled with curiosity. "Ryder, have you thought about who you'll take to the Exclusive Rooftop Dinner?"
Ryder's expression turned thoughtful before he responded, "Grandpa, let me be clear – I have someone in mind."
The room fell silent, with all eyes fixed on Ryder in surprise.
Elder Edward's eyebrows rose. "Really? You've chosen someone already?"
Akai's posture stiffened...
"Ryder, is this person someone we know?"
The room leaned in, awaiting his response.
Ryder's gaze remained calm as he replied, "No, Mother." He paused to take a spoonful of his meal, leaving the room abuzz with anticipation.
Akai was shocked at his words.
"Who is she?"Elder Edward asked.
"Darling don't ask him if he doesn't want to answer.."Grandma Rosie spoke to her husband..
"I have to see her before accepting their relationship.."Elder Edward spoke.
"Ryder when will you bring her to meet us?"Elder Edward asked.
