Bride To Be Not Me (Janice and Simon) novel Chapter 297

Fiora's smile grew even brighter when she saw Lysette's approval. Fiora was clearly pleased with Edward.

He was undeniably handsome. Plus, he had built his success from the ground up without relying on his family's influence. A young man like that was more than worthy of her daughter.

Edward was still dressed in his usual black shirt and trousers and greeted them politely, "Mr. and Mrs. Swanwick, Ms. Swanwick."

Kellan beamed. "Good, good, good."

Myra quietly pulled Edward to sit beside her, which prevented the Swanwick couple from seating him next to Lysette.

Once everyone was settled, Kellan wasted no time in showering praise. "I've always heard that the Moore brothers are exceptional. After seeing them today, I can see why. You're lucky to have such fine sons. Unlike our family, where we have nothing but dainty daughters."

"Daughters are a blessing. They're thoughtful and caring," Barbara responded with the usual pleasantries.

The Moore siblings, no matter how influential they were in their respective fields, had to sit there today with respect and be on proper behavior.

But Edward and Matilda weren't the types to deal with politicians on a daily basis. So, only Calvin spoke up.

"Mr. Swanwick, if you ever have time, I'd love to join you for a round of golf. I hear you're quite the sports enthusiast."

"That would be great. I've been looking for a partner," Kellan said. Then, he turned to Edward. "What about you, Mr. Edward? Do you play golf?"

Calvin tried to intercept, but Kellan's attention was firmly fixed on Edward.

As the eldest, Calvin had no choice but to step in for his younger brother. "He used to love sports when he was younger. But now that he's in his 30s, he's completely focused on his career. I hardly even see him these days."

Kellan smoothly picked up the conversation. "Thirty is the age to establish oneself, of course, but it's also a good time to think about settling down. As the saying goes, 'family first, then career'—it's always a safe bet."
