Though Everly had been raised to be outstanding and was capable enough to succeed him, Kaden still worried about Everly.
There were too many predators out there, and Everly was single, while Maddie was not able to stand on her own two feet. He was really worried Everly could not handle
it if he passed on.
He enthusiastically arranged blind dates for Everly so he could find her a helper, but it was difficult because his standards were too high. Now, he finally found Sonny, who fulfilled all his requirements.
Thus, Kaden was doing his best to matchmake them.
Maddie chimed in, agreeing, "Everly, your grandfather is right. Mr. Brown looks like a reliable man, and he has a good family background. He's capable in his own right, and we can tell he has a good character too.
"He doesn't have to marry into the family. As long as you two get married, he'll protect you. With him protecting you even when we're gone, we'll be able to rest in peace."
Everly replied in exasperation, "Grandpa, Mom, when it comes to feelings, things won't go the way you want them to just because. No matter how outstanding Mr. Brown is, he has to like me for it to work.
"He's kind and considerate because that's just how he is, how he was raised. It doesn't mean he likes me, and I don't feel for him like that either.
"Grandpa insisted that he accompany me to the banquet tonight, and it was packed with people. He stayed by my side the whole night, and everyone looked at us suggestively.
"We're almost definitely going to make the entertainment news headlines tomorrow. Your selfishness has dragged Mr. Brown down and caused a scandal."
Kaden retorted, "Do you think he didn't think of that? He's such a smart man. He knew what he would face when I asked him to accompany you, but he still agreed, which means he's thinking what I'm thinking too.
"Feelings can be nurtured. The most important thing is you two have to give each other a chance.
"If you refuse to even give him the chance, to give yourself that chance, how do you know that you two won't be able to develop feelings for each other?"
"That's right, Everly, feelings have to be nurtured." Maddie urged Everly to give Sonny and herself a chance.
"Everly, I might not be a capable person, but still have somewhat of an eye for people. Mr. Brown is
leagues better than the men met
uncles and aunties introduced. don't blame you for not liking any of the blind dates they introduced, because I don't like them either.
“Because your uncles and aunties suggested it, I couldn't very well refuse Sonny is good in every aspect, and most importantly, he appreciates your inner beauty, unlike those other shallow men."
Everly did not sit back down on the sofa and headed straight upstairs.
“It's late, and I'm tipsy from all the alcohol. I'm going upstairs to rest first. "Grandpa, Mom, you both should rest early too."
That meant she refused to listen anymore.
Maddie called after her, but without looking back, Everly went upstairs.
Maddie then turned to Kaden, and a little anxiously, she asked, "What do we do, Dad?"
"Don't worry. Let's take it slow.
They're both the type that takes time
to warm up to people. We'll figure it
out. It's enough that we know Sonny has no intention of rejecting this. and his elders
He's in his thirte
worrying and nagging him a lot about settling down, too.
Kaden added, “Go to sleep. Don't worry too much about Everly. You just have to
refuse the blind dates your siblings set up."
"Dad, I've already made it clear to my brother. Plus, after seeing Sonny, I can't accept those blind dates anymore."
