On the other end of the phone, Peter started off by giving Cecilia a big earful.
"Cecelia!" Peter was thoroughly distressed. "Look at the way you've brought your kids up! Both Selina and Tobias are still single and unmarried at this age. Other people their age already have children of their own old enough to run simple errands! Do you know how embarrassing it is for me?"
Cecelia was at a loss for words.
She remained silent.
She knew that at Peter's age, one was naturally very traditional. In his eyes, it was utterly inconceivable to him that Selina and Tobias were still not married.
"I don't care. Selina or Tobias, one of them must be married this month, or I'll get so mad I'll die of anger!"
Cecilia said helplessly, "Mr. Peter, getting married is not like buying groceries. It's not as easy as you said."
Peter had been waiting for Cecilia to say these words.
"I have an old comrade-in-arms who happens to have a granddaughter. She's beautiful and noble. I think she's suitable for Tobias. You tell Tobias to come back here, and I'll arrange for them to meet." Cecilia frowned. "Mr. Peter, Tobias won't go back now."
In such a situation, how could Tobias have the mood to go on a blind date?
Spasms of heavy coughs came from the other end of the phone.
This shocked Cecilia a little. "Don't get too worked up, Mr. Peter. Getting mad does your body no good."
"Since you know that getting angry affects my health, then you should make Tobias get married as soon as possible!" Peter huffed from the other end.
Cecilia felt helpless and bitter in her heart.
It would be great if Natalie could be together with Tobias.
But now, everything seemed to have become impossible.
"If Tobias can't come over, I'll let her go find him. Previously, Lucy was a great match but he didn't want her. This time, Tobias must accept her!"
Peter declared his final decision in a firm tone.
Cecilia widened her eyes in shock.
She wanted to say something, but Peter hung up the phone.
Cecilia thought that Peter was just joking. She hadn't thought that he would really show up at Glenvania three days later.
Not only did Peter come all this way, he'd brought a girl along with him.
The girl looked elegant and refined, and her smile was very sweet. She had two deep dimples, and she looked like the type that elders liked.
She was no doubt beautiful, with fair skin and bright eyes, but it was not the kind of sexy, pressurizing bombshell beauty. Instead, she made people feel very comfortable.
"Auntie." The girl greeted Cecilia sweetly as soon as she came. "You are really as gorgeous as everyone says."
Although they were words of flattery, she somehow did not make people feel that it was deliberate appeasement, but rather truly felt from the heart.
Cecilia also greeted the girl politely.
Peter introduced them to each other.
Her name was Yuna Sherman, the granddaughter of Peter's old comrade-in-arms. She was also the typical refined lady from an aristocratic family of scholars, a fine match for the Whitlocks.
Cecilia could see that Peter liked this girl named Yuna very much.
Every time the old man spoke to Yuna, his face would beam, his eyes twinkling.
However, it had to be acknowledged that Yuna really left a favorable impression on people. She moved with dignity and grace and made people feel very comfortable.
During the day, Tobias was at the company, and Hayden also went to kindergarten. Cecilia, Peter, and Yuna were the only ones in the villa.
During lunch, Yuna kept piling food onto Peter's plate.
Cecilia also noticed that the dishes that Yuna served were all to Peter's liking, suitable for people his age.
A ripple of emotion welled up in her heart.
It seemed that Yuna was also eager to marry Tobias. Otherwise, she would not have gone so far as to please Peter and follow him all the way here. After all, Yuna's family background was strong too, there was no need for her to do this.
After lunch, Peter went to take his nap as usual.
