Chapter 1807:
Clive finally understood. He brought out a piece of candy from his pocket. “So, this is the candy from Peyton's
blind date. Let's see how sweet it is.”
He unwrapped it, tossed it into his mouth, and after a moment, said with a smirk, “So sweet.”
Peyton shot him a glare. “Shut up, or I'll knock your teeth off.”
Clive erupted in laughter, paying no mind to Peyton's threat. Jayden and Elyse joined in the laughter.
For the first time, Peyton felt truly humiliated. He simmered in silence, but Aileen’s innocent look kept coming to
mind, and he wondered what kind of woman she really was.
After their meal, as the group walked through the lobby to settle the bill, they unexpectedly ran into Aileen.
“Aileen, con! DeWitt is literally pouring his heart out! Say yes!” Erica Delgado, Aileen’s friend, nudged her
forward, interrupting her daze. “Honestly, you're a junior. You can’t leave college without at least one epic
romance. Go for it!”
Caught off guard, Aileen was pushed toward DeWitt Martinez.
Surrounded by an eager crowd, she nervously twisted the hem of her clothes between her fingers. Despite the
encouragement, she found herself unable to say yes.
DeWitt asked hopefully, “Is there something aboutthat bothers you? | can make changes.”

Aileen appeared troubled as she responded, “It’s not that; it’s just...” She hesitated, searching for the right
words. “Actually, my parents have arranged a marriage for me. I'm going to marry that man, so I can’t be with
you.”
DeWitt’s expression darkened with disappointment. “Arranged marriages are unfair. You should have the freedom
to choose who you love.”
Aileen fumbled nervously, still trying to digest his heartfelt words. As the crowd around them began to thin out,
Erica was left visibly annoyed.
“It’s just dating, not a marriage proposal! What's the big deal?” she grumbled.
Aileen let out a sigh. “I didn’t say | wouldn't date. It’s just that... | already...”

“Con, that future husband of yours is practically a joke. Two months and he hasn't even shown his face.
Trust me, that engagement is going nowhere!” Erica, clearly frustrated, pulled out a cigarette from her purse but
paused when she noticed a group watching them.
Her annoyance intensified. “What are you all staring at? Haven't you seen a pretty woman before?”
