As the wedding date approached, the Jennings Family arranged their personal schedules in advance to ensure there would be no interruptions at least three days before and after the wedding.
After seeing Scarlett’s wedding attire fitting, Donovan Jennings reluctantly had to personally fly to the Capital Metropolitan to handle some matters at the Security Bureau and Mystical Council.
He said goodbye to his family and set off for the Capital Metropolitan the next day.
After seeing Donovan off, Magnolia Hearne ran to Luca Jennings’ study.
Without caring if he was working, she squeezed into his spacious office chair, sitting close to him with worry,
"Scarlett is getting married, yet Donovan, as her brother, still has no partner. Don’t you think we should take some action?"
Such as arranging a matchmaking session.
Luca Jennings was holding a tablet, reviewing the current season’s financial report from abroad, and only responded with a "Hmm?" after hearing her sudden remark.
Seeing this, Magnolia Hearne decisively snatched the tablet from his hands and put it aside, forcing his full attention onto her.
Luca Jennings, who always took work seriously, was surprisingly not annoyed by the interruption.
Removing his gold-rimmed glasses from his nose, he looked at his wife seriously and asked,
"Haven’t you always advocated for non-interference and not making arrangements?"
She herself was not someone who liked being interfered with. Planting the Peach Blossom Mark on Scarlett was out of necessity back then, but she had never interfered much with Donovan.
Even after returning from the Otherworld, she never offered any suggestions for Donovan’s future plans.
Because in those years without her, Donovan had already grown into a reliable adult on his own.
Such a Donovan no longer needed too much advice from her, and she wasn’t suited to give advice anymore.
But in her heart, she still felt indebted to Donovan.
In the past eighteen years, Scarlett hadn’t received motherly love, and neither did Donovan.
Especially since Scarlett was abducted as a child and had a special Fate Chart, Magnolia Hearne had always focused more on Scarlett.
"Non-interference and completely ignoring are two different things."
Magnolia Hearne burrowed her head into Luca Jennings’ embrace,
saying gloomily, "I don’t want Donovan to think I’m an unqualified mother."
Luca Jennings, feeling her emotions, gently brushed over her head, maintaining a rational tone,
"There are many kinds of mothers in this world. Some give everything for their children, while others focus on self-realization while balancing family commitments. There’s no absolute standard for being a competent mother, and Donovan understands this better than anyone else."
Scarlett and Donovan are just parts of her life, not her entire existence.
Similarly, as a mother, Magnolia doesn’t need to fulfill any responsibility for them; just having her around is enough.
Because this is how Luca Jennings feels too.
Magnolia Hearne looked at Luca Jennings, but the worry between her brows didn’t dissipate.
"I’m still worried..."
Seeing this, Luca Jennings even had an impulse to immediately call their son back to comfort her.
As he prepared to act, he heard her voice, somewhat troubled, saying,
"What if Donovan is like you in relationships? If no one gives him a push, he might remain single for decades..."
Luca Jennings: ...
He silently withdrew his outstretched hand, looked down at the person in his arms, with a deep gaze, feeling that he had been subtly criticized.
Magnolia Hearne, still in her tilted-head position, saw him staring at her, and immediately gave him a cheeky smile. Before he could react, she grabbed the glasses from the table and put them back on his face,
"I just wanted to say, you look quite handsome with glasses, so keep them on a bit longer."
The topic changed somewhat abruptly, and Luca Jennings successfully fell into her trap.
He adjusted the glasses on his nose to the most flattering angle, then looked at her, "Do you like it?"
Magnolia Hearne nodded.


Donovan looked at her in the car, after a half-second pause and then swiftly adopted his habitual smile,
