Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 702

Chapter 702 Matchmaking

Faye wore a faint smile. “Sorry to have kept you waiting, Nina.”

“I’ve just arrived as well.”

Faye then gestured to Jennifer and Nina to take their seats before introducing them to each other. “Jennifer, this is Nina Yates, the only daughter of Fabian Yates of Yates Group. She’s been studying abroad in Ustrana and only flew back five days ago. Her parents wanted to get her a boyfriend, and they’ve already met up with Carter, so they thought of letting their daughter get to know Carter, too. Since I invited Nina for lunch and so happened to also look for you today, I brought you here with me.”

After saying that, she turned to gaze at Nina. “This lady over here is Jennifer Larson. She’s two years older than you, Nina.”

Nina gave Jennifer a curt nod and introduced herself in a soft tone. “Nice to meet you, Ms. Larson. I’m Nina Yates. You may call me Nina.”

A turmoil of emotions rose within Jennifer’s heart. She shot Faye a complicated look, but she could more or less tell Faye’s intent.

At first, Jennifer had thought that Faye was truly sincere with her. Never in a million years had she expected Faye to be scheming. Ever since her video went viral all over the internet, Faye’s attitude toward her did a one-eighty. On the outside, Faye put on a caring countenance; however, Jennifer knew better than anyone that Faye would never accept such a scandalous woman like herself as one of the Scotts.

It was true that Chanaeans were no longer that conservative when it came to sexual relations. Even so, deep down, they were old-fashioned to the core. Sex scandals weren’t seen as a big deal for men, but for women, getting involved in any nudge-nudge, wink-wink rumor alone would be fatal, so much so that it could turn their lives into a living hell, driving them over the edge.

Braving the difficult times, Jennifer had relied on her family’s support and her own adamant resilience in the face of the public. As long as she bolstered her self-confidence and pride, she would never deem any gossipmongering as a threat.

“You look like an angel, Nina. I bet you and Carter are a match made in heaven. No wonder Mrs. Scott likes you so much. Even I can’t take my eyes off you,” remarked Jennifer as she flashed a smile.

Nina, in turn, remained unfazed, her visage as gentle as ever.

Jennifer fixed her gaze on Nina. If she’s not putting up an act, she must be one true tender-hearted girl.

From Jennifer’s point of view, it would be Carter’s blessing if he could have Nina by his side.

The next second, Jennifer recalled that she was still a nobody to Carter despite her attempts to win him over for the past two years. What right do I have to intrude on his personal affairs?

“You’re just as stunning as well, Ms. Larson. I don’t know what Mr. Scott looks like, but since it’s my parents’ wish for me to turn up for this meeting, I did their bidding. After all, I have nothing to lose. If he and I didn’t end up as a couple, we could still be friends,” came Nina’s meek reply.

The corner of Jennifer’s lips curled upward at that. The lady in front of her appeared to be docile at all times, and even her every action was perfectly poised. Everything about her breathed good manners. In Nina’s presence, Jennifer couldn’t help but feel ashamed of how much she herself paled in comparison.

Had I been born a man, I would’ve also inclined my heart to a lovely, modest, and elegant lady like her.

“Nina’s really gorgeous and soft-spoken. I guess Carter will certainly like her, Mrs. Scott. Let me congratulate you in advance!” A generous smile accompanied Jennifer’s words.
