Chapter 1999: Chapter 2009: The Unlucky Edward Jackson Gets Urged to Get Married Again

Although Baron Lawrence didn’t know why she suddenly brought this up, he adhered to the principle of meeting the parents for the first time: answer whatever is asked obediently, "Yes, I’ve grown to like her more and more during our time together, to the point that I can’t imagine being with anyone else."

His voice was deep and earnest, as if he were making some kind of promise.

Old Madam Habsden looked at him with satisfaction, then turned her head and immediately wore a smug expression. She said to Edward Jackson, "See, no one falls in love with someone right from the start; it takes time together to understand each other and grow fond. You haven’t even met them; how do you know you won’t like them?"𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"Mom..." Edward Jackson was not just having a headache; now his whole body was starting to ache, "I’m not interested..."

"You have no one you like, so why aren’t you interested? Are you uninterested in women? Could it be you’re interested in men?" Old Madam Habsden asked bluntly.

"That’s not what I mean."

"Then what do you mean? You say you won’t meet her, you have to give me a reason. I won’t accept that ’no feeling’ excuse anymore unless you tell me you like men!"

"..."

"Say it, what’s the reason?"

Edward Jackson was truly at a loss, feeling beyond words. But this was his mom, and he could only endure it, "I like men."

The housekeeper of the Habsden family stood aside, silently lighting two candles for him in his heart.

The Master had been pushed to such an extent by the Old Lady that he admitted something that didn’t exist in front of Young Master Lawrence.

However, he understood the Old Lady more. Indeed, given her age, she couldn’t let the Master drag his feet any longer. If the Master drags it out further, the Old Lady might really never have a grandson.

He initially thought that after the Master admitted he ’liked men’ in front of Young Master Lawrence, the Old Lady would let him go this time. However, he never expected the Old Lady to raise an eyebrow and say, "Alright, who do you like? Bring him back. In any case, same-sex marriage is allowed in Country T. Bring him back and I’ll accept it."

Edward Jackson was really being pushed to the edge by her, and if it weren’t for Baron Lawrence’s presence, he would have fled in panic, "Mom..."

Old Madam Habsden looked at him in that state, first turned her head away angrily, pretending not to hear. Then, she turned back to say, "I don’t know what you’re thinking, but you’re not getting any younger. In this circle, people your age are mostly married, and their kids are old enough to run errands. I don’t ask much of you, but at least find someone to marry. You can’t live like this alone forever."

Edward Jackson could feel her helplessness, and bowed his head, "I understand."

Whether Old Madam Habsden believed him or not, she decided to let him off, "Fine, just remember to meet the person I’ve arranged for you."

"... I’ll try to make time," Edward Jackson compromised to some extent.

"What day is ’try’? This time coming to Linton City, besides meeting the grandson-in-law, my second mission is to make sure you go on a proper blind date! Don’t try to fool me again. This time I’ll go with you, and only after seeing you on a proper date with someone will I return!"

"Mom..." Edward Jackson was completely out of options, especially when the elderly lady clutched her chest as if she would collapse if he didn’t give her a firm answer. He massaged his temples with a headache and said, "Tomorrow, tomorrow I’ll free up time at noon."
