Finished

“I’m getting old, and I just can’t wrap my head around what you mean by things I shouldn’t do,” Carly couldn’t figure out what had prompted Easton’s warning.

“About you trying to set Ellis up with another man to marry,” Easton said slowly, his expression clouding with displeasure.

Carly fell silent. Ellis was her adopted daughter, and Carly felt it was her duty and responsibility to care for her. While Elin n still young, what is wrong with helping her find a suitable match for remarriage

To Easton, however, this had somehow become an inappropriate action.

“Forgive my bluntness, but whether I help Ellis find another man to marry is really none of your business”

If not for fear of angering Easton, Carly would have stated this more decisively, telling him to mind his own business.

“Ellis turned down the matchmaking arrangement you set up, didn’t she?” Easton’s tone grew darker. “The kinds of men you’re introducing, you think someone like Edric is sunable to be her husband?”

What’s wrong with Edric” Carly countered.

Edric was one of the potential suitors she had carefully selected for her adopted daughter, Considering his family background, looks, education, and income, he was more than adequate, though his reputation was a bit tarnished.

“Aunt Carly, are your eyes failing you?”

Easton’s question seemed rhetorical, a prelude to his anger.

Considering Easton’s temper, Carly softened her stance slightly, “Your divorce with Ellis was unpleasant, but you shouldn’t delay her chance at happiness, or doom her to loneliness?

“Her happiness is not for you to define, it’s for her to decide, Easton’s lips tightened, “That’s all I have to say, Aunt Carly. Take it as you will”

Easton’s final words carried a heavy threat, causing Carly’s heart to tremble slightly, “I might stop trying to find her another man to marry, but

She paused, then continued. “We live in a modern, open, and tolgrant society. There’s no reason a divorced woman should be expected to live like a widow, even in the feudal times, not all dynasties were so harsh on women”

Easton’s discomfort at seeing his ex–wife well off might have been the reason he felt he could dictate whether his ex–wife could remarry. Clearly, Carly’s implication was plain.

She might not help her adopted daughter find another man to marry, but remarriage for her was only a matter of time.

Easton understood the subtext of Carly’s words, but he disliked seeing her act like a ticking time bomb, constantly trying to rush Ellis into another marriage.

Easton’s chilling derneanor intensified, as cold as the bite of winter, making Carly’s arms break out in goosebumps, her voice slightly weak, “Can’t I look out for my own adopted daughter?”

Seeing Easton’s expression turn icy, she quickly added, “I’ll stay out of whether Ellis finds another man to marry or not.”

After all her efforts to set up a blind date and introduce Edric to her adopted daughter, scheduling a time and place for them to meet, her daughter stubbornly refused to show up, rendering all her efforts futile.

Pleased with her response, Easton seemed satisfied as he left. Carly didn’t waste a second, borrowing a servant’s phone to call her adopted daughter.

“What did Easton want?” she asked listlessly.
