Benjamin Leclair's fourth birthday was held at the great-grandmother's house.
Today, the little girl's look was styled as Snow White—a dazzling satin dress paired with a tiny diamond crown. Sweet and timid, she had accompanied Daddy to the great-grandmother's house early in the morning. She first received a pile of gifts and praise from the elders, then sat at her little birthday party table waiting for her friends to arrive and celebrate her special day.
Meanwhile, the Howard Family's elderly matriarch pulled her grandson aside and quietly asked, "Does Benjamin like that Miss Gold you met during the arranged match last time?"
Ignatius Leclair paused for a second before remembering which Miss Gold the old lady was referring to. He barely recalled her appearance. After pondering briefly, he replied indifferently, "Can't say I like her."
