Regardless of how they dissuaded him, Julian was firm that he had no ability to stop his parents, leaving the Crawfords quite helpless.
They thought that if Julian’s parents did come, they would treat them cordially.
Ring, ring, ring.
Zoey’s phone rang.
She answered the call without checking who it was from.
“Oh, it’s Felicia.”
Hearing Zoey greeting the caller, Quinn and her brother immediately pricked their ears to listen to their mother’s conversation with Felicia.
“You want to introduce a boyfriend to Quinn? What does he do for a living? You know about Quinn’s situation right? You won’t introduce someone afraid Quinn might be abusive like those previous ones, will you?
“Felicia, let me clarify right away. If the prospective partner is worried that Quinn might be abusive, there’s no need for you to play the matchmaker. Quinn won’t marry anyone with such concerns. I’d rather raise her for life than let her marry someone with tendencies for domestic violence.”
Felicia chuckled and said, “That won’t be the case this time. I’ve made it clear to the other party that Quinn is a nice girl, and I’m quite fond of her. My son is a bit young, or else I’d definitely match him with Quinn.
“This time, I’m introducing my colleague’s son. His family is well-off, and there’s not much of a gap between his family and yours. His son works for a big company, but he’s always been too busy with work, sparing no time to date. He came to me, and I immediately thought of Quinn.
The matchmaker, Felicia, replied, “It’s not far, just at a tea and dessert shop near your gym. I’ll send a photo of my colleague’s son to you now. Show it to your daughter, and they can meet tomorrow. Tell your daughter to dress a bit more femininely tomorrow.
“Quinn is very pretty, and with a bit of makeup, a dress, and high heels, if she walks more gracefully, she’ll be like an angel descended to earth. It will significantly increase the chances of a successful date.”
Zoey readily agreed. She also felt that her daughter’s appearance was too tomboyish.
After the call, Zoey soon received the photos from Felicia and was a bit disappointed when she saw the man’s photo because he seemed a bit overweight.
"Is Matchmaker Felicia introducing a boyfriend for our daughter again?" Dave questioned while sipping his wine and having some food.
