Chapter 1728
"She's... pretty young. She's about the same age as my cousin, and they share similar personalities. She's rather
likable when she's quiet," said Aldor. i
'Aldor is really good with words!' thought Cordelia. 'When he said Aurora was pretty young, it meant that age might
be a concern. He might see her more as a sister, given how he mentioned his cousin. And he might struggle if
Aurora isn't quiet.'
In essence, Aldor wanted Cordelia to cease playing matchmaker.
Ignoring his hints, Cordelia casually said, "Hey, I heard you've been helping out Aurora at work lately. She's really
improved. Remember when she wouldn't listen to anyone? Now she seems to value what you say."
Aldor responded, "Aurora is smart and quick-witted. She used to be a bit playful. Her progress is impressive, not just
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbecause she listens to me, but Mr. Kane's also had an impact."
Aider's vague way of talking annoyed Cordelia a bit. Getting straight to it, she asked, "So, Aldor, do you not really
like Aurora?"
Aldor dodged the question, saying, "I've got big hopes for her. If she keeps this up, she'll do amazing things in the
future."
"Enough!" Cordelia glared at him. "Are you really that unwilling to be my grandson-in-law?"
Aldor was at a loss for words. After a moment, he sighed," Madam, matters of the heart require mutual consent. I
see Aurora as a younger sister, and nothing more. I believe she sees it the same way."
"Feelings can be nurtured," Cordelia pressed on. "Are you hesitant because of Aurora's quirky ways? She's not a
bad kid; she just got led off track. My health's not great, and I worry about my grandkids. Keegan's fine; he's
responsible. But Aurora's what bothers me." i
"I can't entrust her marriage to her unreliable mother. I genuinely like you, Aldor. You're hardworking, ambitious,
good-natured, and reliable. It would be great of Aurora could marry you."
Aldor kept his eyes down, offering no response.
Cordelia then waved her hand and said, "Forget it, forget it. Just pretend I didn't say anything. I'll look elsewhere."
Aldor sighed to himself.
Aurora often accused Cordelia of favoritism, yet in truth, Cordelia cherished all her grandchildren equally. Dahlia
had exploited her kids for her own benefit, whereas Cordelia prioritized their well-being and future.
Cordelia didn't prioritize Keegan and Stella's social status or wealth compatibility. The same applied to Aurora.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be discussing this with someone like Aldor from a different social background.
Although Aurora's looks suited Aldor's taste, her personality didn't align with what he preferred.
'Whoever wants her can have her,' thought Aldor.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter Jaylene finished her meal, Keegan had someone escort her back. He stood in the yard for a moment, then
headed to the stables.
The horse trainer had just fed the horses and greeted Keegan, "Mr. Kane."
Keegan nodded and approached a chestnut-red colored horse. "Ron, this horse got spooked while running just now.
Can you check if it's injured?"
The horse was the one Stella rode earlier.
Ron led the horse out of the stable for a careful examination.
Soon, he reached a conclusion, "Mr. Kane, the horse isn't injured. It was probably a stress response."
"A stress response?" Keegan frowned. "These horses have gone through desensitization training. How could they be
triggered?"
"It probably wasn't triggered by any sounds or such. More likely, the reins or something else might've brushed
against its old wound while you and the ladies were riding, making it react instinctively." 1
