Noel understood what he meant. "Oh, you need me to b e her matchmaker?"
Judy was the most beautiful maiden in the Yorks' stronghold. She was also a skilled fighter, most probably because she inherited her father's talent.
The Yorks’ stronghold had always been a place that put more emphasis on martial arts than literature. Good-looking young girls like Judy who were good at martial arts were especially popular among the opposite sex.
Judy was a girl with an exceptionally broad outlook in life, but she had yet to find a man she was attracted to after all these years.
The scrawny old man nodded. "She's infatuated with a man and wants you to help her seek a marriage alliance.”
Grand Old Master Yorks was instantly interested when he heard that Judy was in love. He asked curiously, "Who is this man?”
The scrawny old man hesitated for a moment, looking at the old man awkwardly.
Grand Old Master Yorks was awfully impatient by now. "C'mon, don't keep me guessing. I’m curious to
know which family's young master is so capable that h e actually got Judy to fall head over heels for him, even to the point of surpassing our Cole?"
The scrawny old man finally summoned his courage and said, "Brother Yorks, this man is your precious grandson."
"Jay?" Grand Old Master Yorks was stumped.
He then put on a sheepish expression. "I know you’ve never begged me for anything, Zechariah. And I also know that I should be granting you whatever request that you may have. But I need to tell you something. Jay is already married, and not only that, he’s all about indulging and pampering his wife. Why, of all the men out there, did Judy fall in love with him?"
Grand Old Master Yorks said, "I’ve just reunited with Jay, so if you want me to separate these lovebirds and force Jay to marry Judy, then I'm sorry, I can't do it."
After the scrawny old man left, Grand Old Master Yorks' face was glowing as he exclaimed with joy, "Oh my! This marriage alliance came at such an opportune moment."
The servant walked out and reminded Grand Old Master Yorks cautiously. "Grand Old Master, I'm afraid this marriage isn't going to work."
Grand Old Master Yorks disagreed. "Why not?"
"Since the day Master Jay lived here, he's been thinking of his wife all day and night. Grand Old Master, you can't have forgotten how crazy he looked when he received news that his wife went missing after falling off a cliff?”
Grand Old Master Yorks let out a boisterous laugh. "It's true that JJ likes Angeline, but men, especially men with good looks and wealth, will always keep their options open. Jay is a man, and any man will love gorgeous women. Take Spencer, for example. He may b e deeply in love with his wife, but he still got himself a second wife anyway."
The servant no longer tried to persuade him.
