The Heiress's Return: From Zen to Zenith

Chapter 1003: 471 Marriage Alliance_2 Chapter 1003: 471 Marriage Alliance_2 Catherine Liam’s eyes darted around as she tentatively asked, “Mayor Monrey’s younger aunt, I heard, has been desperately seeking a match for her daughter.

I think Uncle can come back now, the New Year is approaching, how much longer does he plan to stay in Pethkids?”

At the mention of Peter Aria’s name, Matthew Aria slapped the chopsticks down with a “snap”, startling both Catherine Liam and Charlotte Aria.

The two looked at Matthew Aria uneasily.

Catherine Liam asked, “What happened?

Is something wrong?”

Matthew Aria snorted coldly, “Don’t mention him to me!”

Catherine Liam was befuddled, “Alright, alright, I won’t mention him.

The reason I brought him up was because Mother said she missed him today and was inquiring when he would return.

Besides, all these reputable ladies in Lostswa keep asking me about Uncle.

He is no longer young, what are your thoughts on his marriage?

I see a few decent ladies among the ones in Lostswa, why not let Uncle meet them?”

“If you ask me, our uncle is too willful.

He’s almost forty and still hasn’t settled down.

If he continues like this, he won’t have many good choices left.

I think Miss Breezent is a good choice.

She’s a good match for our Aria family, as well as being Vanessa’s close friend, and her family can provide you with some business support.”

Though Catherine Liam was partial to her cousin Seraphine Moore, she knew that the old Madam would never agree, and it would only end up causing trouble for Seraphine and make it hard for her to fit in with the Arias.

After considering all the options, she realized that Nana Breezent was actually a good pick.

The most important thing was that her family could assist her husband in his career, which would justify Peter Aria’s role as a member of the Arias.

If there’s no love, then let’s talk about benefits.”

To her surprise, Matthew Aria was even angrier after hearing this, “What kind of matchmaking nonsense are you going on about?”

Charlotte Aria chimed in, “Exactly, Mother, Uncle is a brilliant and exceptional talent.

Apart from her family, Nana Breezent has nothing to recommend her, she’s not fit to marry Uncle.”

Catherine Liam looked aggrieved, “But Uncle is almost forty.

I’m afraid if we delay any longer, there won’t be any suitable women left.”

Charlotte Aria shook her head with a laugh, “Oh, Mother, you have no idea about Uncle’s charm.

There are plenty of prestigious ladies who would love to marry Uncle, but he would rather be single than to settle for less.

Don’t worry too much.

Arranged marriages are not suitable for him, it will only drive him away and cause a rift between him and us.”

Matthew Aria’s gaze fell upon his daughter Charlotte Aria.

The young lady in front of him was wearing a pink lotus-colored dress, with her long hair draped over her shoulders, giving off an air of gentle refinement and dignified elegance.

Matthew Aria’s greatest pride is this daughter of his.

An arranged marriage…

A thought suddenly popped into his head, an idea for winning over Cello Cook.

Cello Cook has a younger brother who is only a few years older than Charlotte.

Historically, the strongest bond between two families has always been through marriage.

This thread ties two unrelated families firmly together.

If he wants to go further, Cello Cook is someone he must win over.

His younger brother, Anton Cook, won’t demean Charlotte, whether in terms of his status or appearance.

Moreover, the Cook family is known for its strict values and decency, and there’s no chance they would raise a decadent playboy.

Anton Cook is of good character, and it’s better to give her the best choice from the start rather than letting her make mistakes in society later.

Matthew Aria never considered the Cooks would refuse.

Their daughter is of the Aria family, and with the Old Madam standing here, the Cooks would have to be fools to decline this marriage proposal.

However, he can’t rule out the possibility of Cello Cook refusing for some reason or another.

After all, he is a man who adheres to the path of moderation and would not easily jump on board.

Matthew Aria looked at the graceful young lady standing in front of him, determination gleaming in his eyes.

Unaware of the looming crisis, Charlotte Aria continued to console Catherine Liam.

“Besides, Uncle is a man with his own opinions.

He must have his own plans for when to start a family.”

Catherine Liam sighed, “They say the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, but it’s hard being that sister-in-law.”

Then, as if thinking of something, Catherine Liam began to count on her fingers, “Master Kurong should be done with his retreat soon, right?

At that time, we should ask the Master to help calculate Uncle’s marriage prospects.”

Suddenly, Catherine Liam looked at Charlotte Aria, “And you.”

Caught off guard, Charlotte Aria laughed and shook her head, “I’m still young, I don’t even want to think about these things yet.”

“It’s getting late.

By the time I was your age, I was already engaged to your father.

It’s better to settle this early, so I can take the time to select from the eligible bachelors in Lostswa.”

Charlotte had no response to this, letting her mother do as she pleased.
