Hearing that, the three people in the room froze.
"A woman?" Rupert Rogers was the first to react, his expression was incomparably excited, "Brother... is it the one you mentioned before?"
"Which one?"
Patriarch Rogers was the second to return to his senses and stared at his youngest child with a stern gaze.
Rupert replied, "Just a female. Brother also said he might want to get married to someone."
"Marry?"
Matriarch Roger also said incredulously, "You have someone to marry? Who? Who is she? Who's the lady? How old is she? Is she good-looking? What about her family background?"
A series of questions were asked, and Hector Rogers was annoyed by it.
"Mom, can you guys calm down first?"
"Okay, we'll calm down, but... you have to tell us what's going on!"
Mrs. Rogers had a serious face and did not believe that her eldest son would have a marriage partner.
She knew that Hector hated women, and when he saw women in the past, he would stay as far away as he could be.
She had also made him go on blind dates, and he would do it perfunctorily.
She suspected that her son liked men!
Matriarch never thought that a woman would appear after leaving the country for only a few days.
Hector initially did not want to talk about it, but when he saw his parents looking like they were determined to know the truth, he was at his wit's end. After leading the two old men through the door, he said briefly and concisely, "First of all, I didn't say that there was a marriage partner. It was just an assumption. Rupert made it all up in his imagination. Secondly, there is indeed such a woman, and Solomon liked her very much. We are currently in contact, but nothing happens between us."
Matriarch Rogers and Patriarch Rogers had some slight disappointment, but was not discouraged, "What about you, do you like her?"
Hector wrinkled his eyebrows, and felt a bit strange to the word 'like'. He hesitated for a long time before giving a safe answer, "Well, I don't hate her."
"Then, that means you like her," Rupert interjected from the side.
Just after he finished, he was glared at by his brother.
Patriarch was more rational and asked, "Is that woman trustworthy? How long have you known each other?"
"A few... months," Hector said with slight hesitation.
Patriarch frowned and said in a deep voice, "Only a few months, and you're comfortable leaving Solomon to her, what if she has any intentions? Don't forget what happened a few years ago! If you hurt Solomon again, I will never forgive you!"
