"If I didn't make an excuse, how could I create an opportunity for them to be alone? And if they never spend time alone, how are they supposed to develop feelings for each other? The only other time they met was when Everly and I went to Wiltspoon. "This time, Sonny came to Clearfield, so it's only their second meeting.
"They've barely met, so they naturally haven't had much time together, but we can create opportunities for them.
"Anyway, don't worry about Everly's marriage anymore. I'll take care of it. Do you think I wouldn't consider what's best for my own granddaughter?"
Maddie nodded repeatedly. "I understand. From now on, if my brother or the others try to introduce a guy to Everly, I'll turn them down."
Sonny was indeed much better than the men her siblings had introduced. Putting aside his abilities and background, even his looks were exceptional.
Besides, Kaden was right. Whenever someone else introduced a man to Everly, there were usually some ulterior motives.
However, Kaden would not have any. He genuinely wanted what was best for Everly.
“Good. I'll be fine. If you want to go back to your parents' home to visit them, then go ahead. Just let the butler know if you're not coming home for dinner tonight."
Maddie hummed in agreement.
After confirming several times that Kaden really was not feeling unwell, she finally got up, picked up the gifts she had prepared earlier, and headed back to her parents' home.
The Zellers did not live far from the Flemmings. It only took a little over ten minutes by car.
As soon as Maddie parked her car, her sister-in-law, Tessa, came out to greet her.
"Hey, Maddie, Steven was just
talking about you. He's furious. He says Everly has no respect for him as her uncle. He was only trying to help her find a match. Even if she didn't appreciate it, she shouldn't have embarrassed bum and called the guy's father on him."
Maddie got out of the car and took the gifts with her.
Seeing this, Tessa hurried over and took the nutritional supplements from Maddie.
Her smile became even brighter.
"Maddie, you always bring so many things when you come back. You're so considerate."
"They're just some nutritional supplements for you all to take care of yourselves. Is Steven inside?"
"He is."
Maddie entered the house.
Tessa looked through the bags first and was quite pleased with the supplements. Only then did she carry the bags into the house.
Ever since Maddie married into the Flemming family, their household never needed to buy supplements. Whenever they wanted something, they could just mention it to Maddie, and she would buy it for them.
For nearly thirty years now, they had saved a considerable amount of money.
Tessa was quite fond of Maddie. Of
course, it was also Maddie who
married into the best family. Her other sisters-in-law had married into could
decent families, but Horried into
compare with the Flemmings.
The Zellers' business had only managed to survive because of the Flemmings'
support.
Furthermore, Maddie had a good temper and was easily swayed. Tessa would be happy if she had a dozen such sisters-in-law.
