NovelEnglishBefore Sean could answer, the old lady queried again, “Is it true that Ophelia and David are a perfect match?”
“Grandma,” Sean asked with a hint of annoyance, “why are you up worrying about this stuff at this hour?”
David and Ophelia? A match?
Not even close!
“That young lady is just too charming and she seems so well-mannered. Most importantly, she’s completely devoted to Bella. |
won't lie, the first t| laid eyes on her, | hoped she'd be my granddaughter-in-law.”
Cornelia’s smile was so wide it almost split her face, “I wonder when that girl will visit again. | didn’t get nearly enough tto chat
with her tonight.”
The one who didn’t get enough tto chat was him, Sean, right??
This evening, everyone had been fussing over Ophelia with warm greetings, even Hans, Chasel and Clark had quite the
conversation with her. Yet, every the tried to speak to Ophelia, it ended in a misunderstanding! He barely exchanged a few

He had lesser interaction with Ophelia than all of the others!
“There's more than one bachelor in this house!” Sean muttered discontentedly.
Cornelia paused, realizing she had overlooked her dear grandson Sean!
“Oh, that’s right, you too. I'm getting forgetful.” She quickly pulled out her smartphone and tapped on a photo sent by a contact,
“What do you think of this girl? She looks pretty innocent and elegant.”
“She's like a budget version of Serena Lott,” Sean clearly wasn't interested.
“How about this one? She’s both sultry and classy. She seems like a determined person too.”
Sean's frown deepened; he was clearly displeased.
“Then take a look at these ones; we've got the cute type, the elegant type, the artsy type, and the queen bee type.”
“Just introduce them to David.” Sean couldn't muster any interest but got increasingly irritated.
“You, my boy, are too picky. All these women are highly educated and superior in their looks, careers, and wealth, and yet you
fancy none of them.”
At that moment, Bernard cout after a shower, and Sean couldn't help blurting out, “Grandpa, you should get Grandma to rest.
She's been fussing over nothing all day.”
He couldn't go on with this conversation, or he'd explode from frustration.
Bernard, noticing his displeasure, asked with a chuckle, “What's wrong?”
“I'm trying to set him up with someone, but he doesn’t like any of them!” Cornelia was baffled by her grandson's difficulty in
finding a partner, wondering why he couldn't just find a girlfriend and settle down like his brothers.
“What kind of girl does Sean like then?” Bernard asked with a twinkle in his eye, “Your grandma’s asked around quite a bit and
rounded up all sorts of girls for you, oh wait, we haven't found an Ophelia type yet.”
Upon hearing Ophelia’s nbeing mentioned, Sean perked up, but his hope was dashed in the next second when Cornelia said,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Ophelia’s busy managing the company; she hardly has tfor herself. If she’s looking for someone, she needs someone like
David who's attentive and considerate, who can be her safe harbor when she’s exhausted.”
Not someone with a hot temper like Sean.
“Yes, David is the life of the party, easy-going, bright, and sunny. The moment | saw Ophelia tonight, | thought she and David were
a perfect match.”
Sean's heart shattered once again.
He didn’t want to listen anymore. Mumbling about being tired, he walked out of the room.
“The kid, | don’t know what he’s huffing about.” Cornelia watched Sean's retreating figure, guessing that none of the girls caught
his eye, and that perhaps he felt too young to settle down.
“Let him have his fun for a few more years. As long as both Hans and Chasel settle down, the rest will naturally follow suit when
the tis right.”
Sean had barely stepped away from his grandmother's room when he heard a noise coming from his sister's room.
“Bella.”
