After the New Year’s Eve Tragedy: Her Icy Return

Chapter 99 The Whole Family

+8 Pearls

The only viable solution for now was to quickly find Caroline à husband from a relatively well–off family to prevent her from marrying an old man and embarrassing the Somertons.

Before Miguel could speak, Edwin asked him, “I remember you said lasime that a colleague of yours was looking for a partner. Does that colleague have someone now?”

Miguel’s colleague was a middle school teacher, not much older than Caroline.

If Caroline married him, although it wouldn’t bring much honor to the Somertons, at least marrying a teacher was better than marrying an old man.

Besides, someone in the education field might be able to discipline Caroline a bit.

Miguel didn’t answer his question. After a short pause, he asked, “You’re not thinking of matching Caroline with my colleague, are you?”

“That’s right. Helen is about to get married. If Caroline, as her aunt, is still staying at home, the neighbors will gossip.”

Hearing this, Miguel’s face grew more troubled. “That won’t do! That colleague is divorced and has a child. If Caroline marries him, wouldn’t she become a stepmother?”

Edwin didn’t see anything wrong with that. “What’s wrong with being a stepmother? A stepmother is still a mother.”

There are plenty of people in this world who remarry with children. If everyone avoided becoming a stepparent, then there wouldn’t be any blended families.

Miguel said, “It’s not that there’s anything wrong with being a stepmother, but Caroline is still young and deserves better options.”

Their mother had always hoped Caroline would marry into the Graysons and live a good life. Although that was no longer possible, and she couldn’t achieve financial freedom by marrying the Graysons now, she should still marry someone close to her age with a fairly decent family background.

At the very least, someone who won’t let her suffer or feel mistreated.

Edwin’s expression darkened, and he looked at him with clear dissatisfaction. “Keep spoiling her. I think she’s been spoiled by you! Think this over carefully. If you can find someone better than that colleague, then don’t go with the teacher. But if you can’t, then you should do your best to match Caroline with him.”

As he finished speaking, he happened to see Helen and Alaina walking out of the hotel lobby. His expression immediately softened, and he waved at them.

And Miguel knew that saying anything more now would be pointless. He just shook his head and sighed.

Caroline, who was on her way to Galaxy Bay Residences, had no idea that Edwin was planning to arrange a blind date for her.

But even if she knew, she wouldn’t agree to it.

After living life over again she had figured it out
