Chapter 200

This is for the better development of our Atwood family! I don’t want to be stepped on by others, and I believe nobody else wants to be either.”

“I am very pleased that you have this fighting spirit! Teresa chuckled, “But this is a long–term commitment, not something we can sort out overnight.” She then shifted gears. “You know, you should start thinking about tying the knot You’re at the age where it’s expected”

Taylor frowned at her words, “I think I’m doing just fine flying solo. No need for a ball and chain! I’ve dated before, but never found the right fit “Well, keep your eyes peeled! There’s a lid for every pot! Teresa studied his face, treading lightly, “You’re not…. still hung up on Clara, are you?”

“No, I haven’t been in touch with her lately”

“That’s good!‘ Teresa reassured him, taking his hand. “That’s all water under the bridge now. It’s time to move on! The world is full of knockouts, and there’s more than one fish in the sea for you. You just need to let go and give other girls a chance”

Taylor nodded in agreement, “Yeah, once I get a breather, I’ll consider it.”

“As long as you’ve got it figured out. I won’t push it” Teresa sighed, Td love to see you settle down, but I won’t rush you. Marriage is about finding the right one! Keep that in mind! If you’re having trouble meeting girls or don’t get the chance, I can play matchmaker. I’ve got a bunch of friends who can help find you a catch”

I’d rather find someone on my own. Blind dates aren’t my cup of tea.”

“That works too.

Taylor managed a smile, but his mind was filled with thoughts of Clara.

Let go?

That was easier said than done, especially when he still hadn’t regained his memory.

Later that night, Clara finally submitted her latest design.

This time, Emmett didn’t find any issues, “I’ll submit it for review first thing tomorrow”

“What? Already?” Clara grabbed the design, “Let me double–check if there are any edits needed!”

Emmett sighed, “The design’s top–notch! You don’t need to overthink it!”

“But I’m nervous,” Clara confessed. This is my first technical drawing, and I don’t have any experience with construction. I want the design to be flawless!” “I understand.” Emmett stood up and checked his watch, “It’s late. We should be home with our kids. You can’t let your work eat up all your time. What about the kids?”

Upon hearing this, Clara nodded, “You’re right. I’ve been so caught up with work that I’ve barely spent time with them. Today, I’ll leave work at work and focus on our kids.”

“Good.”

As Emmett and Clara left the building and got in the car, Clara suddenly remembered, “You mentioned before that your mom said the kids love a certain pastry. I’d like to buy them some!*

“Sure, I’ll call my mom and ask for the exact location of that bakery”

“Okay.”
