A tall and handsome man emerged from the car, his mixed-features striking and sculpted, exuding a rugged impression. Oddly, his tea-colored eyes seemed to smile, softening the intensity of his chiseled facial features.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the usual tender smile that clung to his lips was missing. Instead, he showed a helpless expression as he unbuttoned his suit and said to the housekeeper, “Is it another setup this time?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The housekeeper swiftly raised his head, then immediately lowered it again, “The Old Lady has invited a few Misses over for tea.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed to say nothing, yet he revealed everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edward Jackson had come back for one reason: the Old Lady had called him saying she felt heart discomfort, a line he had heard no less than thirty times. Each time he hurried back, it was the same old trick—matchmaking!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that this time, too, it wasn’t about heart discomfort, but rather discomfort of the mind…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edward rubbed his temples, and casually handed a small box to the housekeeper, “Put this away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a sapphire he had purchased at an auction, a noble blue that had caught his eye, prompting him to buy it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a gem was not suitable for girls; therefore, he would give this stone to Baby Bobby whom he hadn’t yet met.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pink stone he had bought before would be for Gigi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edward imagined the little boy’s happy expression upon seeing the stone and suddenly felt the 1.5 million was well spent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even his headache didn’t feel so bad anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Master,” the housekeeper accepted the box, knowing it was a gift for the Young Master and Miss. He asked no redundant questions; after all, both Master and the Old Lady had the habit of purchasing fine items and saving them to give to the Young Master and Miss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master had been away for so long; certainly, he must have brought gifts for the Young Master and Miss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shall I go see the Old Lady now?” the housekeeper inquired after storing the box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edward really didn’t want to go, his thin lips pressed tightly, yet he said, “Let’s go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did it make a difference if he didn’t go?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he didn’t, he would still face all manner of ‘coincidental’ matchmaking setups. It might be better to just get it over with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn’t plan on actively participating in the matchmaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He strode towards the drawing-room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon entering, indeed he saw several women sitting there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Edward, you’re back? Come, come, come over here. Perfect timing, I was just having tea with Yuna and the others. Come here, I’ll introduce you,” the Old Lady beckoned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her looking well, Edward’s worry eased, and he walked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Old Lady immediately started her sales pitch, “This is my son, Edward Jackson. This one is Yuna, this is Simone, this is…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pointed and introduced all four in one breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Edward’s first time being set up with four people at once. His mouth twitched slightly, his tea-colored eyes bottomless, as he said firmly yet suavely, “Nice to meet you all. It’s unfriendly of me not to entertain you properly on our first meeting. However, I have work to attend to. You all enjoy yourselves, and when I’m less busy, I will take another opportunity to properly apologize.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was tall, handsome, mature, and steady, exuding an elegant demeanor. Yet while the first half of his sentence sparked hope, the second half shattered it completely.\u003C\u002Fp>",608,"2026-06-06T13:23:21.571Z",1,"novelbin.me","0f92e8d7c2c4185d19f19da321c926f1764c52f3f35b8210cf1df710f0765eb9","lingering-doting-marriage-big-boss-little-sweet--chapter-957","lingering-doting-marriage-big-boss-little-sweet--chapter-955",2700,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flingering-doting-marriage-big-boss-little-sweet--cover.jpg"]
