Two Times the Charm (Clara and Emmett) novel Chapter 200

"This is for the better development of our Atwood family! I don’t want to be stepped on by others, and I believe nobody else wants to be either."

"I am very pleased that you have this fighting spirit!" Teresa chuckled, "But this is a long-term commitment, not something we can sort out overnight." She then shifted gears, "You know, you should start thinking about tying the knot. You're at the age where it's expected."

Taylor frowned at her words, "I think I'm doing just fine flying solo. No need for a ball and chain! I've dated before, but never found the right fit."

"Well, keep your eyes peeled! There's a lid for every pot!" Teresa studied his face, treading lightly, "You're not... still hung up on Clara, are you?"

"No, I haven't been in touch with her lately."

"That's good!" Teresa reassured him, taking his hand, "That's all water under the bridge now. It's time to move on! The world is full of knockouts, and there's more than one fish in the sea for you. You just need to let go and give other girls a chance."

Taylor nodded in agreement, "Yeah, once I get a breather, I'll consider it."

"As long as you've got it figured out. I won't push it." Teresa sighed, "I'd love to see you settle down, but I won't rush you. Marriage is about finding the right one! Keep that in mind! If you're having trouble meeting girls or don't get the chance, I can play matchmaker. I've got a bunch of friends who can help find you a catch."

"I'd rather find someone on my own. Blind dates aren't my cup of tea."

"That works too."

Taylor managed a smile, but his mind was filled with thoughts of Clara.

Let go?
