Caught off guard, Victor shook his head quickly. “While I consider myself a decent man, I’m not an option for you. I’m your cousin’s friend—that’s all.”

A small smile tugged at Elyse’s lips as she nodded. “Oh, I see. For a second, I thought you were hinting I should pick you.”

Victor laughed softly and said playfully, “If you choose me, that’s fine; I can make sacrifices and bring you home as my wife.”

Elyse responded with a wry smile, “That’s not going to work for me. I need someone who wants to marry me genuinely, not out of obligation.”

“I’m serious,” Victor insisted. “I could really take care of you.”

Elyse snorted and responded, “Sure, as if.”

Victor started to say something in response, but then decided against it and remained silent.

As he continued to eat, Victor found himself thinking about Elyse’s ex-husband and couldn’t resist asking, “Are you only thinking about getting back with your ex right now?”

Elyse replied, “At this point, yes. If that doesn’t pan out, I’ll consider other possibilities.”

“And what might cause it not to pan out?” Victor continued to inquire.

Looking slightly taken aback and pausing as she swallowed her food, Elyse asked, “Why do you keep going on about this? I haven’t even figured it all out myself.”

Victor earnestly replied, “I’m just watching out for you, as your cousin asked me to. It’s important for you to think these things through.”

Elyse scratched her head. “Pearce told me to deal with my own romantic problems. He said it’s time I handled things myself since I’m an adult.”

Victor shook his head, clearly disheartened. “Then he’s not doing his job as family. If your ex sweet-talks you back into marriage, you might end up regretting it later.”

Then, shifting the conversation, Victor suggested, “As a friend of your cousin, let me help you see if he’s a good choice for you.”

Elyse paused to consider before shaking her head. “No, that won’t be necessary.”

“Trust me, I can be useful,” Victor reassured her, patting his chest with solemnity. “Your ex is picking you up later, right? I should meet him.”

Elyse appeared doubtful. “Is that really a good idea?”

“I assure you, I won’t let anything harm you,” Victor said, convincing himself as much as her. He waited patiently for Jayden to show up. At close to 11 P.M., after Jayden called, Elyse said, “He’ll be here in about ten minutes.”

Victor adopted a serious tone. “When he drops you off, make sure he doesn’t stay over.”

Elyse paused briefly before awkwardly saying, “Well, I haven’t actually moved out yet. I’m still living at his place.”

Startled, Victor jumped slightly. “Aren’t you two divorced, though?”

Elyse touched her nose as she explained, “It’s just that real estate prices in Cambape are sky-high. I can’t afford to buy there.”

Despite having some savings, the goal of purchasing a home remained out of her reach.

Victor, looking for a solution, asked, “Didn’t Pearce set up a place for you? Didn’t he offer you some financial help?”
