Seeing Kaden stay silent, Everly too fell silent for a moment before saying, "If you really feel like you owe him, I'll treat him to dinner this Friday night. That should do it, right?"
Kaden immediately lit up with a smile. “That's settled, then. Friday night, you're inviting Sonny to our house for dinner.
"No, we should go to Clearfield Hotel to eat. If we invite him over to our home, others will misunderstand when they learn about it.
"Grandpa, I know you think highly of Sonny and are trying your best to matchmake us, and to tell you the truth, I think highly of him too. If we both liked each other, I wouldn't say no, but neither of us has felt that spark.
"We just respect each other, plain and simple. So please, stop going to all that trouble.
"I'll just have two kids via IVF, as I planned. Even if they don't have a father to watch them grow up, as long as I educate them with care, the kids will still turn out well.
"There are so many kids who grew up in single-parent families. Are they not bright and outstanding?"
Kaden replied, “I'm not saying kids from single-parent families aren't bright and outstanding. I just think it's better if the kids have both parents in their lives.
"Feelings can be nurtured, and as long as you don't reject my arrangements, I'm sure you'll fall for each other. Everly, why don't you give it a year?
"In this year, you and Sonny can meet and have a meal together when you have time. If you don't have time to meet, you can still call or text to stay in touch, which will help you get to know him better.
"After a year, if you still feel like you haven't fallen for him, I'll give up and stop nagging you to get married. You can do whatever you want, and I'll stop bothering you.
"Because, apart from Sonny, I really can't find a second person who satisfies me and is suitable for you."
Everly fell silent once more.
After a long moment of thought, she gave in. "Alright, I'll do as you say. I'll give it a go for a year and see if we can grow feelings for each other But let me make it clear, Grandpa, want it to be mutual, not a one-sided attachment.
"If I like Sonny, but he doesn't like me, or vice versa, you can't force us."
Kaden assured, "Of course. It won't be a real partnership if it's forced. I won't do that."
“Grandpa, you should eat, or else you'll be late.” Everly reminded Kaden.
Kaden was in a good mood because Everly had finally made a concession, so he had a very good appetite for breakfast and ate more than usual.
After the meal, the pair did not immediately leave, and instead sat in the living area for a bit. Everly had a cup of coffee before leaving.
The duo did not take the same car.
After leaving, they each took a call.
The one who called Kaden asked when he had picked Sonny as
Everly's match and praised his net
for people for finding such an
eye
outstanding man for her
Sonny's family background could easily be found out just by asking around, and in
every aspect, he was very much outstanding.
Mainly, though, he was of good character.
Good character was of the utmost importance, above all else.
Kaden laughed. "We have a business relationship with Lewis & Co., and after meeting, I had a very good impression of Sonny. Plus, he's about overly's age. They get along and are both single so I matchmade them."
