Chapter 43
Chapter 43 Senior Yancey had an excellent memory. Dawn’s face flashed across his mind the moment Samantha mentioned her name. “I remember. Why?” “She has been pursuing further studies overseas during the past few years, and has become exceptionally outstanding,” Samantha praised. “She majors in financial management and has passed her grade 10 piano exam.” “That’s good. Girls nowadays should continuously upskill themselves, the more outstanding they are, the wider their worldview should be. They can meet potential partners too.” Senior Yancey accepted the cup of tea from her and took a casual sip. “She’s quite pretty as well. Has two dimples, yes?” “Your memory is good.” “I’ve met her ten years ago. She was already a tall and graceful young lady back then.” Feeling that Senior Yancey’s impression of Dawn was pretty good, Samantha continued saying, “Dawn has always admired Jack, and they’ve known each other since they were kids. I’m thinking of doing a little matchmaking. What do you think about this?” Samantha probed cautiously. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Senior Yancey gave a small laugh. “There’s already a marriage prospect for Jack, so don’t you trouble yourself over that.” Samantha’s heart sank slightly. So it was true. However, the smile on her face never faltered. She pretended to be in the dark. “A prospect? I wonder who this lucky girl is, to be approved by you.” “Theo Yeager’s younger daughter. As you’ve probably heard already, she’s the one who rejected Jack at the wedding,” Senior Yancey examined his teacup carefully. “I like that she is strong-willed and follows her heart in everything she does.” That girl was truly something. How could grandpa not blame her for causing such a huge mess at the wedding? Samantha smiled and asked softly, “Then how does this young lady feel? Such things cannot be forced. We may consider one rejection accidental, but a second one would be awkward.” “Even I’m not worried, so stop worrying about it!” Senior Yancey put down his cup and looked at her
directly in the eyes. “I’ve been back for a long time. When is Liam coming home?” The topic was changed. The middle-aged woman’s expression shifted slightly. Was the old man angry? Senior Yancey said sternly, “Has he been like this the past few years? Leaving for long periods of time? Is this place a hotel to him?” “Of course not,” Samantha hurriedly explained on behalf of her son. “You know how youngsters are. They have their Own ways of thinking. He changes his cell phone’s SIM card sometimes when he’s out. I can’t contact him now but don’t you worry, he’ll be back very soon. He knows his grandpa is back so he certainly would not bear to leave this place. He’ll accompany you for a long, long time.” “He doesn’t have to accompany me. I was just asking about him.” “…” Samantha knew that Jack was number one in the old man’s heart. There was a distant look in Senior Yancey’s expression; his kind countenance was no longer there. Samantha suppressed her feelings of unhappiness and smiled at him. She had gotten used to this. All these years, Senior Yancey would get upset whenever she tried to meddle in Jack’s affairs. “Dawn is coming back to the country. She heard that you’re in Rheinsville so she’s planning to come over and visit you,” Samantha said. “Sure.” Senior Yancey was not stand-offish about it. Then again, this was not an excessive request. Samantha continued, “Can we invite Jack back here for lunch too? We’ve not seen each other yet. It’ll be a good thing for those youngsters to meet up more often. Dawn wants to work for the Yancey Group. I’m wondering if there’s a suitable position for her.” Senior Yancey did not give it much thought. “Sure. Find out when Dawn comes back, I’ll set a date with Jack earlier so he has time to arrange his work schedule.” “Alright, thanks dad,” Samantha said obediently. “Actually, my relationship with Jack has improved a lot during the past years when you were not in Rheinsville City. He sends me presents often, for my birthday, for international women’s day… He remembers important dates.” “Is that so?” Senior Yance was startled at first when he heard her words. Then, delight shone from his face. “That’s wonderful. A harmonious family is a prosperous family.”
