Chapter 970
Married at First Sight
âIâll go now, Grandma May.â
Duncan bent down to ruffle Sonnyâs head and bid goodbye to Grandma May. When the old woman hummed, he quickly went away.
Grandma May watched him drive away and looked at Liberty, who was back at the register. She had a small book out as well as a calculator, counting how much money she had spent on the store and its renovations.
Grandma May thought, âSeems like I was overthinking it.â
Liberty had no interest in Duncan.
However, she sat in front of Liberty and asked tentatively, âLiberty, what plans do you have for the future?â
âI hope that All You Can Eat can open countless branches all over the country.â
âBusiness is important, but what about your private life? Youâre still only thirtyâone. Youâre very young.
Have you considered it? I meant what I said back then. If youâre willing, Iâll introduce to you a dedicated and capable young man.
âI guarantee that your second marriage will be better than your first. Youâll live a hundred times better than your exâhusband. Let him regret it.â
Liberty laughed. âNana, you have nine grandsons. Except for the oldest and youngest ones, the remaining seven are all of marriageable age, but theyâre all still single. Isnât it enough to worry about them?â
Grandma May pulled Sonny over and sat him down on her lap.
She laughed and said, âIâm old now and canât do anything else. My grandsons take care of me and wonât let me work, so I can only take up the job of a matchmaker out of boredom. Just this morning, I brought two photos to Callum and told him and Kevin to woo their wives according to the goal I gave them. They should be able to shed their bachelor status in a year.
âIâm not that worried about my grandsons under twentyâfive. Only the first six are over twentyâfive, and the younger three are still young. Thereâs no worry. Men mature later and are not as precocious as women. They can only support a small family when they marry at an older age.â
If a man married too young, he would still be a child at heart and was not capable of raising a family.
âMy sixth grandson will be turning twenty-five this year, but Iâm in no rush for him either. After Callum and Kevin are done, Iâll move on to my fourth and fifth grandsons. When I find a good candidate, Iâll bring the photos to them so they can complete their task.
âIn a yearâs time, Iâd have solved the marriages of four grandsons.â
Liberty was dumbfounded.
With that speed, even if Grandma May had a hundred grandchildren, she would be able to make all of them marry soon.
âMr. YoungâJohnson also asked Zack for my help to settle his brotherâs marriage. Iâve met Remy before. Heâs a very good man, so Iâm looking for a suitable candidate as his wife nowâ¦â
âGrandma May, Iâm divorced and a single mother. I have no intention of remarrying for the time being.â
âDonât worry, I wonât introduce Remy to you. He lives too far away. Seren canât bear for you to marry far away.â
Liberty was speechless.
âIâm telling you this because I want you to know that I can really help you find a man. Youâll be happier in your second marriage.â
Liberty politely refused. âGrandma May, I donât have the heart to think about love now. Iâve known Hank for more than ten years, but we divorced after less than four years of marriage. We almost became enemies too. Itâs enough to torment me.
âWhat has marriage brought me? The only good thing I got out of that marriage was Sonny.
âI have to think about Sonny too. His biological father already neglects him, let alone a stepfather. What I want now is to raise Sonny well. I donât need anything else.â
Grandma May was silent, then said, âThen let nature take its course. There are some stepmothers and stepfathers who can also give their hearts and souls to their stepchildren.â
They simply numbered in the minority.
Duncan was the fourth young master of the Lewis family. Mrs. Lewis had high standards and always matched Duncan with ladies whose families met their status.
