The other couples had not received any prophecies from the psychic. If they tried for a second or third child and ended up with another boy, they would lose their minds.River, trying to divert Grandma May’s matchmaking pressure, grinned and said, “Then Nana should hurry my older brothers along and tell them to have their second round of kids soon! They’re not getting any younger. If they want another, they’d better do it now. Waiting until they’re older will just make it harder on my sisters-in-law.”Having kids in their twenties was far easier than in their thirties.“I’ve been nagging them, but it’s no use. With several great-grandsons and even a great-granddaughter now, they always shut me down with excuses.“So I’ll focus on matchmaking instead. Once you’re settled, I’ll move on to Alex and Rowan. Alex hasn’t been home in ages. Does he really think he can hide forever?”Rowan was still in Wiltspoon, but his excuse was that River and Alex were not married yet, so there was no
“You have to live to see all of us become fathers. You’re so biased. You picked out wives for only the oldest six of your grandsons, leaving us three youngest ones out.“If you’re not going to arrange matches for us, you should at least live to see us get married and become fathers ourselves.”Grandma May chuckled. “It’s not that I don’t want to. I thought I’d still have the energy to help you find your soulmates, but who knew, as I grew older year after year, that my energy would really stop being what it used to be?“All the ailments of old age are creeping in.” She sighed. “There’s no denying it—I’m getting old.“If I could live as long as Grandpa Foster, I’d be more than satisfied.”Patrick Foster had lived for a century.If she could also reach a hundred, she would definitely see her three youngest grandsons marry and have children.However, she was not sure if she would make it that far.Right now, Grandma May felt like she could pass away at any moment, like one of her f
Serenity once again marveled at how excellent the York family’s values were upon hearing River’s words. The men raised in such a family were truly outstanding and were both clear-headed and wholeheartedly dedicated to the future of the York family.“I’m not that strict, you know. As long as someone isn’t particularly bad-tempered, I can get along with them just fine.“Besides, after you get married, you’ll live independently. You’ll only come back to the manor for holiday reunions, and distance makes the heart grow fonder. Even the most difficult personalities can be tolerated for a while, for those few days.“Of course, I believe my sisters-in-law are all wonderful. If anything, I’m probably the least impressive one among them.”The younger York men respected her, but that was only because they revered Zachary. Their respect for her was an extension of their love for him.Her status in the York family and in Wiltspoon was entirely due to Zachary’s love, devotion, and respect for
River smiled. “You’re still as nosy as ever, Serenity.”“That’s for sure. Getting the latest gossip is fun, especially those related to you and your brothers.”River was speechless.“By the way, River, you asked Rosalie to arrange blind dates for you and treat you to meals. Are you really going to show up for the blind dates? It’s two per day at that.”River replied, “The agreement is written, signed, and sealed with fingerprints. Of course, it’s for real.”Serenity glanced at him for a moment. After some thinking, she asked, “Are you planning to treat Rosalie well during the blind dates? Then, the other girls will misunderstand your relationship with Rosalie and back out.“You can also spread rumors about you and Rosalie through those girls. With two blind dates a day, that’ll be sixty girls in a month. With sixty mouths spreading the same rumor, the entire Solvile will soon know about it.“Moreover, if you treat Rosalie well during your meals with her every day, a month will b
Rosalie was traumatized to have gotten into trouble with not just anyone but her rival.She dared not get drunk ever again. Even if she drank, it would be under control. After all, drinking excessively would affect her health as well. “If you feel better after eating, you should meet Christian. No matter what, he helped you last night. If it weren’t for him suppressing the incident, it would’ve been circulated widely this morning,” said Old Mr. Lafayette.“Christian is a good kid. I value him a lot, but you don’t seem to have any romantic feelings for him. I think he wasn’t able to fall in love with you either.“In the past, nothing happened between you two after your first meeting. This second attempt failed as well.“You’re not young anymore, Rosalie. You’re almost thirty and should think about your marriage. If you’re too busy, I’ll relieve you of a few tasks to alleviate your burden.“That way, you’ll have time to date like other girls. You can go shopping, have meals, o
Those elite daughters could interact with their future husbands for some time. Some of them were even arranged to be playmates since they were young and went to school together so that they could develop a bond.On the other hand, Rosalie had the freedom to decide on her marriage.“Let’s wait and see. Don’t come to me complaining if it’s true.“I have an appointment with a friend, Grandpa. I shall take my leave first.”Damian stood and left. He could not be bothered to argue with his sister. She was unaware that she had feelings for River. On the contrary, River must have realized something. Otherwise, he would not have done what he had earlier.After Damian left, Mr. Lafayette took his phone and asked his wife, “Should we book tickets for this evening or tomorrow?”“The day after tomorrow. There’s no need to rush. We have to book a hotel as well and pack our luggage,” said Mrs. Lafayette.Rosalie’s expression darkened. “Mom, Dad, are you guys really going to Wiltspoon to find
