Female Novel
Chapter 753
What Andrea said was reasonable. | wondered when did this girl, who only knew how to use her dead brother as an excuse,become so mature?
Nerissa smiled faintly and did not push further. All she said was, "If that's the case, that's fine. Since Hendrix treats you like hisown sister, it is apt for you to call me your aunt. Since I'm your aunt, I'm going to tell you this. You're already thirty. You should getmarried. Is there anyone you fancy?"
She obviously used them as siblings to distance themselves from each other.

Andrea knew it in her heart, but how was she going to answer Nerissa's blunt question?
Her answer was Hendrix. However, she just said they were like siblings. Wouldn't it be weird to say that she liked him?Andrea's face stiffened a little, but she still forced a smile and said, "Nope, I'm fine being single for now."
She was saying this as a reply to Nerissa, and as means to comfort herself.
Nerissa nodded and said enthusiastically, "This won't do. As a woman, you must get married. It doesn't matter if you stay marriedor get divorced; you should still live a happy married life. Otherwise, you will regret it for the rest of your life."
After a pause, she said, "Oh, | almost forgot! Isn't there a Mr. Shelley that works in Hendrix's company? He seems to care for youa lot. He is thoughtful and hardworking, not to mention handsome with a good background. Why not try your luck with him?"
Was she talking about Austin?
Andrea looked like she was at a loss for words. She laughed dryly. "Aunt Nerissa, stop teasing me. You said we all have ourpaths to walk on, especially for matters like marriage. These things are hard to handle. A relationship can't be forced so I'll gowith the flow. Time will tell!"
"| can't believe it. What do you mean you'll go with the flow?" Nerissa pulled Andrea's hand affectionately and said, "You'rethinking this all wrong. Going with the flow is alright when feelings are reciprocated. But if the feelings aren't mutual, going withthe flow just doesn't seem right. Just look at Arianna and Hendrix - they've been together for almost seven years now and they'realways talking about how to improve their marriage. They're truly meant to be together."
There was more to what Nerissa said. She was warning Andrea not to fantasize about things that she shouldn't. No matter howhard she tried, what wasn't meant to be hers would never be hers.
Andrea was not stupid. She understood what Nerissa meant. She could not keep a straight face anymore.
However, she had matured over the years. She knew how to plaster a smile when needed.
After taking a few bites, she said with

Nerissa nodded and did not ask her to stay. "Alright, remember to come visit me!"

The price of growing up and adulting was hypocrisy.
As soon as Andrea left, Nerissa looked at me calmly and said, "Seven years and you still can't handle a love rival. | really don'tknow what Hendrix sees in you."
