Chapter 664:

“Good.

Call me when you’re ready. I’ll be waiting.”

Fletcher was supremely confident in his fishing abilities. Marrying Harlee, the gem of the Sanderson family, was no easy feat, and he relished the challenge.

Hearing Fletcher’s words, Rhys nodded amicably. Just as he was about to speak, Fletcher continued, “Are you done? If so, you can see yourself out!”

Before coming here, Harlee had reminded Rhys that actions often spoke louder than words. Therefore, when Fletcher asked him to leave, Rhys politely said his goodbyes to both men, leaving no room for criticism.

Harlee wasn’t particularly keen on shopping, but seeing Eva’s bubbling enthusiasm, she couldn’t bring herself to say no.

After their meal, she took Eva to a small accessory shop in the mall.

Meanwhile, Cassie noticed that Eva hadn’t returned and began to worry about inconveniencing Harlee. Wrestling with her thoughts, she finally decided it might be best to pick Eva up herself.

Before heading out, Cassie made sure to ask Harlee if it was okay. Only after receiving Harlee’s assurance did she set out for the accessory shop.

The three of them spent quite some time browsing through the accessories before moving on to a clothing store.

Cassie had all the items sent back to avoid carrying them throughout the shopping trip. Since Nyomi’s train was delayed, Cassie seized the opportunity to invite Harlee to the cozy café nestled within the mall.

As they sat down, Harlee checked the time and glanced at her phone, figuring that Rhys might have left her home after meeting her family by now. She sent him a quick message: “How is it going? Did you conquer the challenges thrown at you?”

Rhys’ reply came almost instantly: “To be exact, I have conquered nothing. Other than the gifts being accepted, I haven’t even started the first challenge yet.”

A soft smile tugged at Harlee’s lips. She had expected her father and brothers to pose challenges for Rhys in a bid to test if he was serious about her. Still, the situation made her slightly surprised.

Lowering her head, Harlee grinned as her fingers danced over the screen while chatting with Rhys.

Noticing Harlee’s smile, Cassie deduced she was chatting with Rhys.

Cassie’s eyes flickered with a complex emotion. In this social circle, it was hard to imagine anyone more fitting for Harlee than Rhys. Yet, as her thoughts shifted to Belinda, she frowned, already predicting how Belinda would make things difficult for Harlee.

The thought of someone as remarkable as Harlee having to seek Belinda’s approval was enough to set Cassie’s nerves on edge.

Cassie felt like voicing her concerns but figured her relationship with Harlee was too new to dive into a topic as thorny as Rhys’ mother.

However, since Eva had taken a liking to Harlee so quickly, Cassie resolved to say something. Stirring her coffee absentmindedly, Cassie waited until Harlee set down her phone before breaking the silence.

“Harlee, were you texting Rhys? I’m not trying to be nosy, but it’s just…”

Seeing her hesitation, Harlee leaned forward, replying with a reassuring tone, “Yes, he just got home.”
