Seven Years a Fool One Day a Queen (Kristine and Colton) novel Chapter 272

Eliza was very candid with Grayson.

So, she made it clear to him, “No, that chapter of my life is completely closed now.”

Grayson believed her.

He then took out a stack of photos from a drawer on the coffee table and placed them in front of Eliza. “These are some young talents I’ve had people vet for you. Whether it’s character, education, or family background, they’re all solid. Take a look and see if any of them interest you. Pick one.”

Eliza was caught off guard by Grayson’s approach.

It seemed that all elders were the same, always trying to find someone for the younger generation to rely on.

“Uncle Young, I really don’t have the energy to date right now.” Eliza replied helplessly.

“That’s why I’m letting you take a look first. If any of them catch your eye, you can give it a try. Just because you don’t like them now doesn’t mean you won’t like them later.”

‘After you’re done with this busy period, then you can think about it,” Grayson added.

He knew Eliza was preparing for the graduate entrance exams, particularly for Matt’s program, which required a lot of focus and energy.

Eliza agreed to his suggestion.

t was getting late, and Grayson didn’t stay for long. He reminded her to drive safely as she left.

ust as Eliza stepped out, Calvin returned home.

Grayson didn’t need to think hard to know it was Nancy who had called him.

As soon as Calvin entered, Nancy came out of the kitchen with a bowl of hot soup. “Calv, have some chicken soup.”

Calvin took it and sat down on the couch opposite Grayson, his gaze half–lowered, glancing at the photos on the table.

irayson ignored him, continuing to arrange the photos one by one.

alvin crossed his legs, sipping the soup while inspecting the photos.

nce Grayson finished laying them out, he began making his comments.

This one looks too soft, maybe there’s a problem in that department.”

This one doesn’t fit her aesthetic.”

This one looks like he might be prone to domestic violence.”

And this one, the ‘GAY vibe is strong. Don’t push her into the fire.”

Grayson shot him a cold glance but didn’t engage. He then pulled out the final photo and placed it on the table. This one is well known, familiar with Eliza, and heir relationship is strong. His qualifications are impeccable.”

Calvin paused for a moment, then put down his spoon and called out to Nancy. “Nancy, I’m full.”

No appetite.

Also, why was Josh’s photo here?

Grayson didn’t bother with his comments and went back to his room.

ancy sighed deeply, her expression full of both disappointment and unspoken words.

ilvin noticed it. This house doesn’t really welcome me.

Good night, Nancy. I’m leaving now.”

ilvin was perceptive and bid Nancy farewell before heading out.

he stepped outside, the rain began to fall, light but accompanied by a chill in the air.

ter Calvin got into the car, the driver started the engine, but Calvin spoke. “Don’t take me home.”

e driver immediately understood and changed the route, driving away from Grayson’s house.

the two weeks before the graduate exams, Medea mostly cut off her social life and focused entirely on studying.

deon had invited her out twice but was unsuccessful, and he couldn’t help but complain in their group chat.

ted, you’re leaving us useless people no way to live! You’re pretty, a genius, and so hardworking. You’re already a Ph.D. in finance, and you’re still going for

ad school? You’re too much!”

ompared to you, I feel like I’m just wasting air!”

edea sent a cute emoji and then replied. “Because I want to be Calv’s pride.”

deon was a bit upset.

cently, he didn’t know what was going on, but everyone seemed too busy.

ed and Caly were understandable, given they needed time for their relationship.

it why were Josh and Baxter so hard to pin down?

th of them had been unresponsive to his invitations.

eing busy isn’t a bad thing,” he muttered to himself.

went out alone for dinner at a more upscale restaurant, and when he sat down, he saw Eliza.

stinctively, he ducked under the table, hoping she wouldn’t spot him.

ace he confirmed she had left, he sat up straight, staring out the floor–to–ceiling window.

iza was helping Matt into a car, being very attentive.

ideon had always known that Eliza was a social master, but he didn’t expect her to be able to handle Matt.

fter all, Matt’s temper and personality were notoriously difficult.

any wealthy and powerful people had tried to get on his good side but were ignored.

liza, it seemed, really had some skill.

1st as Gideon was thinking this, he saw Josh’s car pull up in front of Eliza.

is heart skipped a beat.

sh got out of the car and walked straight to Matt’s car, bending down to chat with him briefly.

he two of them stood side by side, watching Matt’s car leave.

Eliza must have relied on josh to get through to Matt

Gideon, being Josh’s cousin, knew very well that Josh was Matt’s apprentice.

f Josh liked Eliza, he would undoubtedly act as a bridge for her.

ut wasn’t this unfair to Med?

he worked so hard, and if she lost out to Eliza, who seemed to be taking shortcuts.

ideon’s expression darkened as he immediately pulled out his phone and messaged Medea.

Med, I just saw Eliza having dinner with Matt. I think Josh set it up. Eliza is really good at this kind of thing, always scheming. Who knows if she got some

side information from Matt.

Maybe you should have Caly try to get in touch with Matt top. Let him make some connections so you can get some face time with him.”

teden probably had her hands full with studying and didn’t reply right away.

y the time she did respond, Gideon had already finished his meal.

ledea’s reply came, “No need. 11l prove myself with my abilities.”

few simple words from her made Gideon respect her even more.

ed wasn’t like other women!

er strength was her confidence!

e didn’t need to take shortcuts like Eliza.

ideon couldn’t help but feel disgusted by Eliza’s approach.

pecially considering that he still had to be controlled by Eliza.

is father was getting old, and his vision was poor. He couldn’t see people clearly and had handed the company over to Eliza to run.

deon gritted his teeth, and then sent another message to Medea.

fed, I’ve thought it over. I want to invest in Bosi Technology!”

edea replied almost immediately.

ou should’ve woken up sooner.”

fter that, Gideon sent some words of gratitude.

‘hen he finished talking to Medea, he felt much better.

that moment, William called her on a video call. She picked it up right away, calling him affectionately,

rofessor, why did it take you so long to call? I’ve been waiting for you!”

are you that eager, baby?” William said with a lazy smile, his eyes slightly cloudy, his gaze moving over her.

edea gently guided his attention with her fingers, drawing his focus down.

William’s breath quickened, his eyes growing heavy. “Baby, tilt the camera down a little…”

1st as she was about to do so, the door was suddenly knocked on.
