However, Isabella had everything. She lacked neither money, fame, or opportunities. Hence, she did not care about similar backgrounds anymore."In reality, true compatibility is not about family background but about shared values. Values are shaped by a person's experiences, and in that aspect, you and Isabella don't differ much. There's no need to worry," Joshua explained gently. That also explained why people from vastly different family backgrounds often found it challenging to come together. Different experiences and environments would often lead to varying values, worldviews, and outlooks on life."I'm afraid she'll regret being with me in the future," Luther admitted.Joshua patiently asked, "Why do you think that way?""Everyone around her is outstanding, with much better family backgrounds than mine." Having been reassured by Isabella before, Luther found these thoughts resurfacing as she was returning to Nexuria. "I'm not the best choice.""You're my best choice. Settin

"Aren't you afraid your parents will hear this?" Joshua teased."Not at all! At most, my dad will just make fun of me for being ungrateful." Isabella was quite familiar with her parents. "He has been trying every means to keep me away from Mom, so it's normal for me to turn my back against him.""Okay," Joshua agreed.Isabella was surprised. "Are you really joining us?""It concerns the future of my heir," Joshua said. He liked Luther. "I should go with him to chat with your parents."Isabella giggled happily.Due to Joshua's decision, they canceled and rebooked their flight tickets.Early the next morning, Joshua called Yoel. Although he had retired and was traveling around, he occasionally helped Joshua with some tasks."Mr. Neal," Yoel was about to visit another city with his wife."Please help me with something once you have the time. Revise the will for me." Joshua made sure no one could hear this conversation, standing on the balcony of his study and speaking in a hushed

Isabella leaned in and asked, "But what?""Nothing." Isaiah thought for a moment and decided not to say anything.Isabella looked puzzled.He wanted to mention that their parents might suggest her settling down with Luther in Nexuria, but they probably would not, considering Luther's role as the Neal Group's president."How are you going to get a girlfriend if you never finish your sentence?" Isabella huffed.Isaiah calmly retorted, "Are you also talking about Uncle Joshua?"Isabella sighed, deciding not to argue with Isaiah. The car continued to drive forward. An hour later, Isaiah and Isabella arrived at the home where Cynthia and Matthew now lived.As soon as they got out of the car, Isabella hugged Cynthia, saying, "Mommy!"Cynthia affectionately stroked her head. Matthew stood next to Cynthia, interrupting their reunion. He teased, "People with boyfriends shouldn't casually hug other people's wives.""Mr. Quier, can you be just a little less possessive? Mommy is a pe

"You'll find out tomorrow. Your dad and I won't be too demanding," Cynthia said, circling around the topic. "As long as he treats you well, we have no objections.""He treats me very well!" Isabella spoke up for Luther.Cynthia reasoned with her, "You like him, so naturally, you have your rose-tinted glasses on. We still need to see whether he's genuinely good or not, before drawing conclusions.""Mommy..." Isabella continued to act coquettishly. Cynthia gently rubbed her head, saying, "Be good and listen to us.""Okay..." Isabella did not press further, but inevitably, her mind would wander.Meanwhile, in the study downstairs, Matthew and Isaiah sat face to face. Matthew asked, "Do you know something we don't?""About Luther?" "Yes.""No, I don't." Isaiah did not betray Isabella. Understanding their dynamics, Matthew just wanted to be responsible for his daughter's future. "When your mom asked why you disapproved of their relationship this afternoon, Isabella seemed ner

Isaiah hinted through his gaze that if Luther could not answer that, there was no need for Isabella to be with him. Isaiah understood why Matthew brought up these topics. If Luther could not confront these issues, they would highly likely divorce in the future. Divorce was a significant difference between marriage and dating, and it would be challenging to walk out of the pain unless she encountered someone who could heal her. However, finding such a person was incredibly difficult."I'll respect your decision. But I'll also strive to be outstanding, to the point where you can overlook the gap in our family backgrounds," Luther said as if he had suddenly gained clarity.Isabella was somewhat surprised by his response. "We have only one daughter, and we hate to see her marry someone from afar. Have you considered marrying into our family instead?"Isabella rolled her eyes. Why was he speaking as if she was his only child? Luther looked at Isabella, thought it over, and answered
