Amya examined her for a few moments before raising an eyebrow.
“Miley Cullen? I don’t recall ever hearing that name. What family does she come from?”
Miley bit her lip, a trace of embarrassment coloring her expression.
Just as she was about to respond, Neville came to her aid.
He draped an arm around her shoulder and formally introduced her.
“Miley’s mother manages a company overseas. Her father is a renowned doctor, and Miley herself runs a modeling agency here.”
Amya observed Neville’s hand on Miley’s shoulder.
Miley, feeling self-conscious under Amya’s gaze, promptly withdrew from Neville’s touch and positioned herself a bit farther away.
Amya’s demeanor softened slightly as she averted her eyes.
With a gentle smile, she turned to Neville and asserted, “I have something to discuss with you. Come with me.”
With that, she turned and departed without acknowledging Miley any further.

Once Miley had settled back into her seat, Neville followed his mother outside the restaurant.
At the restaurant’s entrance, Neville couldn’t help but voice his dissatisfaction.
“Mom, this isn’t like you. Why were you so impolite to Miley today?”
“Are you blaming me now?” Amya’s voice carried a stern, unfriendly tone, her brows furrowing.
“No, Mom, that’s not what I meant. I’m pursuing a relationship with Miley. By treating her this way, you’re sending her a message that you’re not satisfied with her,” Neville quickly responded in a softer tone.
“Iam indeed not satisfied with her.” Amya remained blunt in her response.

“You can have any girlfriend you want, and I won’t interfere with your romantic life. But when it comes to choosing a wife, that decision rests with me. Miley cannot be my daughter-in-law.”
“Mom!” Neville’s voice rose.
“You’ve never really gotten to know Miley. You don’t know the kind of person she is. Making such a hasty judgment isn’t fair.”
Amya didn’t beat around the bush and got straight to the point.
“I’ve already selected a suitable marriage partner for you. Her family’s status is on par with ours, and they can provide valuable support to us. As for the woman you know, she comes from an ordinary family. I cannot accept her.”
“I will only marry the woman I love. I won’t agree to your choice of a marriage partner.” Neville sniffed in mild exasperation at his mother’s stance.
“Your car has arrived. I’m going to have dinner first.”
