Lucas looked at Layla's photo before looking up at Irene's serious face. "Just because she is pretty, I have to like her/"
"Uh… you're right. You're not like ordinary people. I'm so ugly, yet I have never once seen you disgusted." Irene kept her phone.
A new thought suddenly sprang into her mind. "Mr. Lucas, do you like ugly people?"
Irene had read an article on people who had an ugly fetish, and this new information was what inspired her question. There are so many people on this earth. There would surely be people who have different aesthetics than ordinary people.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Lucas must have an ugly fetish.
Kasey Bennett from the Bennett family is so beautiful, yet he did not like her at all. Layla was beautiful too, but he did not look at her photo. He looked up at her ugly face instead.
"Yes, I like ugly people." Lucas saw how she already had preconceived notions, so he could not be bothered to argue with her.
Irene blushed, turned around, and ran into the kitchen. She buried herself in her cooking and stopped talking.
In Aryadelle, Elliot was regretting his decision to release the advert.
He felt that his requirements were not enough. By now, there would surely be a lot of people who fulfilled the requirements. He was afraid that Hayden would have a tough time selecting a suitable candidate for Layla.
"Honey, do you think I should hold another press conference to update the requirements of the search, or should I accept another interview to talk about this?" Elliot discussed this with Avery.
Avery looked at Elliot, stunned. "What else do you want to add? You have almost written close to two thousand words. Who would have so many requirements for a candidate? I've never seen anyone like that before."
"No, those who study computer science don't care for the family once they get busy. I don't want our daughter to be left alone. Look at Hayden, he is the best example. Up till now, he has never once been in a relationship…" Elliot rejected it once more.
Avery poured the water and passed the glass to Elliot.
"Then, which major do you think our daughter should look for?"
Elliot furrowed his brows and thought seriously. He thought for five minutes straight and still had not come up with an answer.
"Hubby, based on how picky you are, the only place we can ever hope of finding a suitable candidate is outer space." Avery picked her glass up and drank some water. "The problems you're worried about are small. Just because they majored in a specific field, does not mean that they will work in that field.
"Since we have stated that they have to have a family fortune of more than one and a half billion dollars, I'm sure that even if they were to stop working and care for their children, they would still be able to live comfortably," said Avery. "According to the requirements that we set, the men that we select from this won't be too far off the mark."
