Although Baron Lawrence didn’t know why she suddenly brought this up, he adhered to the principle of eting the parents for the first ti: answer whatever is asked obediently, "Yes, I’ve grown to like her more and more during our ti together, to the point that I can’t imagine being with anyone else."
His voice was deep and earnest, as if he were making so kind of promise.
Old Madam Habsden looked at him with satisfaction, then turned her head and imdiately wore a smug expression. She said to Edward Jackson, "See, no one falls in love with soone right from the start; it takes ti together to understand each other and grow fond. You haven’t even t them; how do you know you won’t like them?"
"Mom..." Edward Jackson was not just having a headache; now his whole body was starting to ache, "I’m not interested..."
"You have no one you like, so why aren’t you interested? Are you uninterested in won? Could it be you’re interested in n?" Old Madam Habsden asked bluntly.
"That’s not what I an."
"Then what do you an? You say you won’t et her, you have to give a reason. I won’t accept that ’no feeling’ excuse anymore unless you tell you like n!"
"..."
"Say it, what’s the reason?"
Edward Jackson was truly at a loss, feeling beyond words. But this was his mom, and he could only endure it, "I like n."
The housekeeper of the Habsden family stood aside, silently lighting two candles for him in his heart.
The Master had been pushed to such an extent by the Old Lady that he admitted sothing that didn’t exist in front of Young Master Lawrence.
However, he understood the Old Lady more. Indeed, given her age, she couldn’t let the Master drag his feet any longer. If the Master drags it out further, the Old Lady might really never have a grandson.
He initially thought that after the Master admitted he ’liked n’ in front of Young Master Lawrence, the Old Lady would let him go this ti. However, he never expected the Old Lady to raise an eyebrow and say, "Alright, who do you like? Bring him back. In any case, sa-sex marriage is allowed in Country T. Bring him back and I’ll accept it."
Edward Jackson was really being pushed to the edge by her, and if it weren’t for Baron Lawrence’s presence, he would have fled in panic, "Mom..."
Old Madam Habsden looked at him in that state, first turned her head away angrily, pretending not to hear. Then, she turned back to say, "I don’t know what you’re thinking, but you’re not getting any younger. In this circle, people your age are mostly married, and their kids are old enough to run errands. I don’t ask much of you, but at least find soone to marry. You can’t live like this alone forever."
Edward Jackson could feel her helplessness, and bowed his head, "I understand."
Whether Old Madam Habsden believed him or not, she decided to let him off, "Fine, just rember to et the person I’ve arranged for you."
"... I’ll try to make ti," Edward Jackson compromised to so extent.
"What day is ’try’? This ti coming to Linton City, besides eting the grandson-in-law, my second mission is to make sure you go on a proper blind date! Don’t try to fool again. This ti I’ll go with you, and only after seeing you on a proper date with soone will I return!"
"Mom..." Edward Jackson was completely out of options, especially when the elderly lady clutched her chest as if she would collapse if he didn’t give her a firm answer. He massaged his temples with a headache and said, "Tomorrow, tomorrow I’ll free up ti at noon."
