He glanced at Estelle with a faint smile, “Really?”
Mrs. Lamont pulled out a picture of the Sampson family’s daughter and showed it to Jonathan, “I think this one is not bad. She graduated from the top university and just returned to J City. Ms. Macclain also said she’s pretty. Take a look yourself!”
Jonathan took the picture, looked at it for a moment, and then asked Estelle, “Ms. Macclain, you think this girl is a good match for me?”
Estelle was feeling uneasy inside, but she had to maintain her composure and go along with Mrs. Lamont’s words, “I think she’s beautiful!” Jonathan stared at Estelle with a hidden meaning and chuckled, “She just graduated from college, five or six years younger than me. Wouldn’t she think I’m too old?”
Estelle blushed as she said, “As long as you click, age isn’t a problem.”
Jonathan continued to ask, “How do you know if we click?”
Norah couldn’t stand it any longer and snorted, “Uncle, if you’re not happy with grandma choosing a wife for you, just tell her. Why are you taking it out on Estelle?”
Estelle gratefully stole a glance at Norah.
Jonathan glanced over Estelle’s face and said with a faint smile, “She said it’s good, so of course I have to ask her the reason. Besides, Estelle is about the same age as Sena Sampson. Asking her opinion can help me know how to get along with Sena.”
Mrs. Lamont’s face lit up, “So you agree?”
Jonathan smiled faintly, “What does my agreement matter if she doesn’t like me?”
Norah said, “Uncle, when did you learn to be modest?”
Jonathan smiled faintly, “Just learned!”
Mrs. Lamont laughed, “Then I’ll ask the Sampson family and invite them over so you can meet each other?”
Jonathan replied, “Wait until I have time. The company is really busy lately, and I’m swamped with work, day and night. I don’t have the energy to handle another woman.”
Estelle thought he was talking about work, but her ears turned red anyway.
Mrs. Lamont was immediately concerned, “You must take care of your health even if you’re busy. Your father really shouldn’t have left everything for you so early. Your brother has his own things to take care of, so it’s only up to you.”
Jonathan smiled lightly, “It’s something I enjoy doing, so it’s not too hard.”
A servant came over and asked if Jonathan would stay for lunch.
Jonathan had come home to get some documents and initially planned to leave right after, but now he changed his mind, “I’ll stay for lunch.” Mrs. Lamont said, “Of course you should eat. No matter how busy you are, you still have to eat well.”
After saying that, she turned to Estelle, “Ella, let’s go eat!”
“Ah?” Estelle looked up and immediately said, “No, I have something to do this afternoon, so I have to go first!”
Mrs. Lamont frowned, “Why are all you young people like this? Just because you have something to do doesn’t mean you don’t have to eat!”
Jonathan glanced over at Estelle and casually said, “I see you were chatting so well just now, but as soon as I came back, Ms. Macclain is ready to leave. Did I upset you?”
Estelle laughed awkwardly, “Of course not!”
Norah held Estelle’s hand and told Jonathan, “It wouldn’t be surprising if it were true. You’re always so serious, it’s only normal for others to be scared of you!”
Jonathan’s eyes twinkled with a smile, and he said innocently, “Ask her, when have I ever lost my temper with her?”
Estelle pursed her lips and shook her head, “You haven’t, Mr. Lamont has always been taking good care of me!”
Mrs. Lamont smiled at Jonathan, “Speaking of which, Ella should also call you ‘uncle.’ It’s only right for you to take care of her more.”
“Yes!” Jonathan, uncharacteristically easy–going, agreed, “As her uncle, I will definitely take care of Ms. Macclain.”
Estelle’s heartbeat raced, and she thought to herself that she should visit the Lamont family less often.
