Chapter 831: A Sincere Face_1
Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!
What Mila Harrison was looking for was, of course, different from what Adrian Zhekova was.
Maverick Zhekova, a big man, didnât care much about his sonâs marriage.
Victoria Wheelerâs daily thoughts were mostly about asking whether the Old Madam loved her the most, and whether Maverick loved her the most.
Where would she find the time to care about Adrianâs marriage?
The only person in the family who was anxious about Adrian was probably the Old Madam.
But even though the Old Madam was anxious, she didnât see the need to force Adrian into marriage with just anyone.
She still allowed Adrian to find a girl he truly liked.
No consideration was given to the girlâs family background.
As long as she was of good character, and her job wasnât anything illegal or disorderly.
Even if she was just an ordinary girl, the kind that could be found anywhere on the streets, the Old Madam wouldnât mind.
As long as Adrian liked her.
If it werenât for the Old Madamâs attitude, Adrian wouldnât still be single at the age of 29, and he would not have had the opportunity to reunite with Cindy Clarke.
Nor would he have had the opportunity to be together with Cindy in a pure and innocent way, and recognize his little child.@@novelbin@@
But Gabriel Zhekova and Mila Harrison couldnât let Ethan Zhekova do as he pleased.
Even Mila Harrison required Ethanâs wife to come from an equivalent social status.
Mila believed that, after all, Ethan was a member of the Zhekova family. How would any ordinary family be a match?
So she looked down on girls from ordinary families.
But in reality, families of even higher social status looked down on Ethan.
Mila Harrison and Gabriel Zhekova saw themselves as members of the Zhekova family, standing high above the rest.
But in reality, Ethan wasnât directly related to the Old Master. Gabriel didnât even have access to the Pingla Headquarters, he just managed a subsidiary of the company.
Ethan was the same, unable to enter the Pingla headquarters, he couldnât be considered a core member of the Zhekova family.
He is currently working under Gabriel.
Therefore, the social status that Mila Harrison admired was not interested in Ethan.
Being able to form a marriage alliance with the Zhekova family, although rare,
But does not make it exclusive among the Big Eight families.
Adrian, for instance, does not have brothers like Zane Hamilton and Zander Hamilton. Although they are cousins, they are both at the core of the Hamilton Family and often help each other in their work.
Sometimes, when one of them is busy, they would temporarily take on each otherâs responsibilities.
They truly are at the very core of the core.
Christopher Smith and Benjamin Smith, too, are like this.
Also other families, those with their own brothers.
With so many suitable candidates, Ethan is relegated to the back of the queue.
So, those looked upon favorably by Mila Harrison, did not look favorably upon Ethan.
Those who might have a favorable opinion of Ethan and would be willing to become in-laws with his family, Mila might not look favorably upon them.
Thus, speaking honestly, it would be much more difficult for Ethan to get married than for Adrian.
Not only does Mila Harrison want to find a match of equivalent social status, Gabriel thinks the same way.
They just cannot allow Ethan to be like Adrian, casually choosing someone like Cindy to marry and damaging his own reputation.
If Adrian is willing to do that, thatâs Adrianâs business.
Ethan canât do the same.
Moreover, Gabriel is hoping to find a powerful partner to cooperate with, which would give him a bigger chance in the competition for the position of Family Head.
Therefore, Gabriel said: âWe are also anxious, and whenever we meet a decent girl, we wonder if sheâs single or if we could introduce her to Ethan.â
The Old Madam knew of Gabriel and Milaâs thoughts. If Ethan really wanted to look for someone, wouldnât he be able to find one?
It was just that Gabriel and Mila, as a couple, had high demands. They wanted the other party to come from a high-status family, have real power, and be able to help their family.
In short, they wanted to have everything.
The only thing that didnât need to be fulfilled was whether Ethan liked the other party.
The Old Madam glanced at Ethan; even though she didnât like Gabriel very much, after all, Ethan was just a younger generation and had not done anything wrong.
Ethan couldnât interfere with decisions made by Gabriel.
So the Old Madam wasnât necessarily wrong to transfer her dislike for Gabriel to Ethan.
The Old Madam didnât say anything plainly. Considering the narrow vision of Gabriel and Mila, if the Old Madam directly said that they should just let Ethan choose a wife without considering social status, they might misinterpret it.
They might even start imagining all sorts of conspiracy theories.
Besides, Ethan may not necessarily share the same thoughts as Adrian and Samson Zhekova; to ignore social status and just find a girl they like.
Itâs quite possible that Ethan shares the same thoughts as Gabriel and Mila, that they want to find a match of equivalent social status for a marriage alliance to increase their own familyâs interest.
Therefore, the Old Madam indirectly asked: âEthan, what about you?â
âYour parents are thinking of finding a girl for you, you canât not be anxious.â The Old Madam said, âYou should also want to settle down, cooperate with your parents, that would be more efficient, isnât it?â
Mila Harrison was afraid that the Old Madam would tell Ethan not to be anxious. Wasnât that obstructing Ethan from starting a family?
Even though Mila felt that Gabriel and Ethanâs chances of competing for the position of Family Head was hopeless, since the ability to become Family Head had already manifested in Adrian, the next Family Head would be Adrian.
No matter how hard Gabriel and Ethan tried, they would never be able to take the position away.
But Ethanâs children could still try, couldnât they?
They needed to let Ethan hurry up and have a child. Of course, the child must be born within marriage, otherwise, even if they awakened the capacity to become the Family Head, the childâs origins could not have any flaws.
Even a situation like Adrian and Cindyâs; having a child before marriage was acceptable.
The key is to have a child as soon as possible, so there would still be time to compete with little Morgan.
Otherwise, if they never have a child, they wouldnât even have the chance to compete.
Facing the Old Madamâs question, Ethan immediately put on a sincere and respectful attitude, with a touch of shyness.
He said to the Old Madam, âI donât resist the idea of marriage. I just think that such a thing is about fate. Iâm also about at the age where I should get married, and if I meet the suitable one, I will definitely marry.â
âI donât plan to marry a few years later. If I meet a suitable girl, I will get to know her. I am not fixed on marrying someone of equivalent social status.â
âI just want to find someone I like. Just like my older brother, if the person I like happens to be from these families, it would be a coincidence. But if the person I like is an ordinary girl, I wonât view it as a bad thing.â
âWhat I want is based on my own preference, not on the other partyâs background or social status.â Ethan said sincerely.
âSeeing how good the relationship between my older brother and sister-in-law is, I admire it very much. So I thought that I must find someone who I genuinely like and who genuinely likes me.â
âMy marriage cannot be a combination based on interests.â Ethan said.
After he finished, he observed the reactions of the elderly couple.
But both of them were incredibly cunning, nobody could outwit them when they were young.
