Christina stated firmly, “Once I make a decision, I never regret it. And speaking of decisions, why are you single now? What about Ms. Rhodes or Ms. Aickers? These two Jayrodale beauties have been throwing themselves at you.”
She had not realized the jealousy that tinged her voice as she spoke.
“Well, Andrew, your love life certainly blossomed after breaking up with Christie,” Irene remarked with an eye roll. “You must be living the high life now, being Ms. Rhodes’s kept man.
“You’re absolutely right,” Andrew replied with a smile. “Ms. Rhodes has been very good to me. In fact, I’m planning to confess my feelings to her soon. I look forward to that sweet sugar baby lifestyle and retiring 30 years early.”
Irene scoffedat’s all you’ll ever amount to. No wonder Christie doesn’t want you. You should really take a look at yourself.”
Christina interjected coldly, “Mom, that’s enough. It isn’t easy to win over someone like Ms. Rhodes, and we should be happy for him.”
Leroy eagerly asked, “Andrew, why don’t you teach me your secrets for attracting wealthy,
do.” beautiful women? I’d love to coast through life on my looks like you
Andrew shook his head and replied, “I could teach you, but with your looks, it would be pointless.”
“Are you insulting me?” Leroy snapped, feeling humiliated.
As Christina’s brother, he believed he must have inherited some of his sister’s stunning looks.
While Christina was indeed as beautiful as an angel, Leroy was living proof that genetics could be cruelly random. It was as if nature had sought balance–giving one sibling extraordinary beauty while cursing the other with unfortunate looks.
The dinner finally wrapped up around eight in the evening.
Andrew declined Douglas’s offer to walk him out and left the Stevens family residence alone.
However, Christina followed him outside and said coldly, “Grandpa asked me to see you off, so don’t get any ideas.”
“Don’t worry, I’m not that desperate,” Andrew replied casually. “You can go back inside. Someone’s coming to pick me up.”
Let me guess, it’s either Ms. Rhodes or Ms. Aickers?” Christina smirked. “You must be having the time of your life with two beautiful women fawning over you.”

Andrew grinned. “It’s quite wonderful. I alternate between them–Ms. Rhodes is beautiful and passionate, while Ms. Alckers Is sweet and innocent with perfect curves. What more could a man want?”
“So your true colors finally show,” Christina sald with disgust.
Andrew shrugged. “I have to disagree. You’re the cold one, bland as tap water, too busy admiring yourself. You just can’t stand seeing others enjoy life and love. Sounds like jealousy to me!”
“Who are you calling cold and bland?” Christina sputtered with anger and embarrassment. And jealous? Don’t flatter yourself, Andrew!!
“Whatever you say. We’re done here. Goodbye,” Andrew replied flatly.
Several black luxury cars had been waiting outside the Stevens family residence. Then, someone stepped out of the lead car and respectfully opened the door for Andrew, saying with a deferential smile, Mr. Lloyd, thank you for your time.”
“Let’s go,” Andrew commanded with a wave of his hand.
As the convoy’s taillights disappeared into the night, Christina stood there stunned and confused.
She mumbled, “Wasn’t that Mr. Garner from South City? Why would such a powerful figure personally open the door for Andrew, and with such a subservient attitude?”
