"What is it?" Mia asked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Well, I've always liked Nathan. When I returned to the country, my dad tried to set us up, but Nathan didn't seem keen on the idea. So, I was wondering if you could helpout." Jasmine's request caught Mia off guard.
After a pause, Mia responded, "I'm sorry. I can assist with other matters, but not this one." Jasmine smiled bitterly. "I understand if it's too much to ask. Given my family's circumstances, I realize I might not meet Nathan's standards." "It's not about your family background. My brothers have never judged anyone based on that. They just have different standards when it comes to relationships.
"They might not be as easygoing as you assume. Despite being good brothers, they might not necessarily make good partners." Jasmine shook her head. "You're underestimating your brothers. With the exception of a few, they're all virtuous. The majority of them are truly remarkable." Mia knew she was referring to Liam and Jason. She added, "Plus, I'd rather not involve Dominic in Nathan's major life decisions. I can help you with anything else, but not this." "Okay, I get it. But could you doa favor and set up a meeting with Nathan? I'd like to talk to him in person. If he's willing to help..." Mia hesitated. She knew Nathan well and understood he wouldn't agree to meet just anyone.
Jasmine added, "I promise to deal with Luna for you and fully support you. If the Shelberts back out of this mess in the future, I'll stand with you." Upon hearing that, Mia promptly agreed, "Okay, I'll help you set up a meeting with Nathan, but I can't promise anything." When Jasmine first asked for Mia's help, she hesitated. She didn't want to put Nathan in an uncomfortable position by agreeing to an engagement with Jasmine. Mia wouldn't risk his happiness like that. However, arranging a simple dinner where Jasmine could talk to Nathan directly seemed feasible to Mia. After all getting the Shelbert family's unconditional support for the Lane family in exchange for a casual dinner date was a good deal.

Jasmine breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you. I'll remember your help today, no matter what happens." Throughout this period, she reached out to her friends and relatives. She discovered that they were all loyal to her father and unwilling to listen to her.
It dawned on her that since her mother's retirement, her social circle had shifted to align with her father's interests. This realization left her with a profound sense of isolation and helplessness. After chatting for a while, Mia checked the time. "It's getting late. How about we grab dinner?" They went to the nearest restaurant, but as Mia reached the door, she bumped into Sharon.
The next moment, Sharon stormed up to her. "Mia, we need to talk."
