She Took The House The Car And My Heart novel Chapter 181

Chapter 181 Matchmaking

“Earlier, they were hanging around here, but the second I answered your call, those brats bolted. Said Liam invited them out to chill,” Elvin said, cutting right to the point.

The others nodded along, murmuring in agreement.

In that moment, no one caught the flicker in Kristian’s eyes.

Lionel let out a slow sigh. “I was planning to introduce Freya to them. Young people really ought to mingle

more.”

T’ll ring my grandson back.”

TI get mine on the line too.”

“Young folks should definitely be spending more time together.”

One by one, the older gentlemen reached for their phones and began dialing.

There was an unspoken understanding among them; when Lionel said what he did, they all caught his meaning loud and dear.

Very few people in their circle ever received Lionel’s approval, and the fact that he stood up for the young woman said plenty about her character.

As their calls went out, the young men wore expressions like they’d just bitten into lemons–dearly not thrilled.

Liam had been with them at the time. He was far more sociable than Kristian and had a wide circle of friends.

Catching sight of their gloomy faces, Liam paused mid–shot, pool cue in hand. “What’s with the long faces? Did your girlfriends dump you?”

“Worse than that!”

“It’s a total nightmare.”

“Exactly

“Yeah, no joke.”

Liam raised a brow, intrigued. “That dramatic, huh?”

“My grandpa wants me to go on a date,” said Elvin’s grandson.

Liam stayed relaxed “Wait, you guys all got roped into blind dates too?”

“Yep. they said in chorus.

That gave Liam pause. All at once? Seriously?

“Liam, your grandpa’s the one who brought the girl,” said another young man, sounding torn but not bold enough to say no. “They’re saying it’s just to ‘get to know her‘, but we all know what that means at our age. It’s a setup.”

“Why are elders so obsessed with matchmaking?”

“What’s the excuse this time?”

While they complained, Liam caught the most important detail. “Wait–my grandpa brought her?”

“Yeah, they all said together.

“What’s her full name?” Liam asked, a flicker of curiosity lighting up his eyes.

“No clue.” They exchanged looks and shook their heads. “All we know is, they said your grandpa and Freya were there, but they didn’t give a name.”

Liam let out a sudden chuckle.

Freya? Wasn’t that Kristian’s ex–wife?

Setting his cue aside, Liam flashed a grin. “She’s already there? You guys better head up. Let’s go.”

The group hesitated, not moving. Didn’t Kristian promise to block this whole blind date thing? Why were the calls still coming?

“What are you waiting for?” Liam was already itching for some drama.

And if things went as he expected, Kristian would definitely be there too.

He couldn’t help but wonder–how would Kristian react to Freya being part of a matchmaking stunt, and one organized by his own grandfather, no less?

“What if she ends up liking me? Since Mr. Shaw introduced her, if she actually falls for me, I can’t just shut her down too harshly.”

The others didn’t say anything, but their silence echoed the same concern.

They were here for laughs, not love–definitely not marriage.

“Relax,” Liam said, brushing it off. “I’ve met Freya. She’s not into blind dates either. She probably just came ‘cause it’s my grandpa’s birthday.”

“Seriously?” That got their attention.

“Of course,” Liam replied with a devilish smirk. “When have I ever lied?”

Seeing he meant it, the men visibly relaxed and agreed to head back upstairs.

They were already in the hotel anyway–just on the entertainment floor, not where Lionel and the others were.

Upstairs, Lionel was deep in conversation with Freya and his longtime friends.

As he shared stories, admiration for Freya only grew.

“I wish I had a granddaughter like her.”

“You’re lucky, Lionel.”

“Wait, when did you meet Freya? We didn’t know you had a new granddaughter.”

The questions came one after another.

Kristian leaned in, murmuring to Lionel, “You’ve really cooked up quite the tale. Hope you can keep it going,”

Lionel was momentarily speechless.

This brat always had to tickle him off.

“I’ve known Freya for years. She’s like part of my family, like a real granddaughter to me.” Lionel replied with

a straight face, “Still, in my heart, Freya is my granddaughter.”

Everyone nodded thoughtfully, accepting the sentiment.

Freya sat quietly, doing her best not to draw attention.

Soon after, Liam and the four young men walked in.
