Ms. Feake smiled gracefully and alluringly. "Of course! This is what your brother assigned me to do, so I will do it!"
Ivy looked incredulous. "My brother instructed you to do this?"
Ms. Feake patted Ivy's shoulder and laughed. "Exactly! Did you think I actually had my eye on Lucas? Ivy, he's not my type at all! I prefer men like your brother."
Ivy blushed sheepishly. "Lucas and my big brother are kind of the same type, aren't they?"
At the very least, Ivy felt they were quite similar.
Ms. Feake waved her hand dismissively. "They are absolutely different! Your big brother is successful, mature, intelligent, and wise. How could Lucas compare to him?"
Ivy frowned slightly. "Ms. Feake, my big brother is getting married soon, so don't fall for him!"
Ms. Feake covered her mouth and laughed. "I know your big brother is getting married. He's the kind of person I could only dream of dating."
Ivy joined in the laughter. "Actually, Lucas is very capable, too. He just graduated, and his life has only just begun. I believe he'll definitely do well in the future."
Ms. Feake shook her head. "Compared to your brother, he's still quite far behind. Ivy, your big brother is a genius—a prodigy. He didn't start his career after his college graduation. By the time he graduated, he had already become successful and famous. Lucas can't hold a candle to him. Of course, Lucas won't have a bad future, especially since he has your heart. Your family will surely support him."
"Ms. Feake, you can't say such things outside. I never intended for my family to approach him. I believe he'll succeed even without my family's help, because he's talented."
Ms. Feake shot Ivy a serious look and stroked her cheek. "Ivy, don't be naive in love. Do you know what you are to men?"
Ivy shook her head.
Ms. Feake continued, "In the eyes of men, you're a piece of cake just waiting for them to take a bite out of! Everyone wants to gobble you up, and that might include Lucas. I know you're convinced that true love exists and that there are good men out there... Indeed, there are, but they're very, very rare. You're young, and you don't have the ability to distinguish between good and bad men. That's why I'm here to find out what kind of man Lucas is for you!"
