Female Novel
Chapter 2590
Quinn calmly ate her food. When Zoey was not looking, she seized the window of opportunity and
refilled her glass with wine before downing it. By the time her mother looked over, she had already put
down the glass and was back to calmly eating her meal. There was no sign of her sneaky behavior.
Julian found this amusing.
However, he did not dare to fill Quinn’s glass with wine. His future mother-in-law had strict rules about
not allowing the family to drink too much, and even though he was just having a couple of drinks
together as their guest, he could not overindulge.
He certainly did not want to break the good impression Zoey had of him.
“Yes, it’s her colleague’s son. She wants our daughter to meet him tomorrow at the nicely decorated
bubble tea shop near our gym.”
Zoey handed the phone to Dave and asked quietly, “What do you think? Should we arrange for our
daughter to meet him? He seems a bit overweight, and it’s clear that he seldom works out.
Dave took the phone, and Will peered over his shoulder to have a look. He expressed his disdain, “He
looks like a pig! How can he be worthy of my sister? Mom, why would Felicia introduce such a guy to
Quinn? She should introduce someone of higher quality, at the very least, more good-looking. He’s so
ugly! If our nephews inherited his looks, won’t they be terribly unattractive?
“Like uncle, like nephew; so my nephews better be as handsome as me when they grow up.”novelbin
Zoey retorted, “What about you? You are one of the high-quality men Felicia knows. She introduced so
many girls to you, why hadn’t you fancied any? I don’t know what kind of girl you’re looking for. If you
keep being picky, you’ll only be left with leftovers.”
Will turned to Julian and asked, “Julian, you’re two years older than me. Do your parents pressure you
to get married? Whenever you go home, do they keep pestering you and call your aunts to set up
hundreds and thousands of blind dates for you every day?”
Julian chuckled, “Oh yes, my parents are also pushing me to get married. I’m getting on in age, so it’s
only natural for them to urge me. I can understand where they’re coming from.”
Will immediately found a kindred spirit. They both complained about their parents pressuring them to
get married while completely ignoring the Crawford elders’ disapproving glances.
Driven to frustration, Zoey kicked Will under the table. None of her children seemed to ease her
worries.
Both of her sons were avoiding love and marriage. As for her only daughter, no matter how many men
were introduced to her, every attempt ended with cancellations often without even meeting each other.
Quinn did not seem to have any hope for blind dates.
“Quinn, go meet this gentleman at the dessert shop tomorrow. He’s the son of Felicia’s colleague.”
Zoey handed the phone to Quinn so she could see what the man looked like.
Quinn glanced at it and said, “Mom, let’s wait until he actually shows up. Who knows if he’ll cancel an
hour before the meeting, as usual?”
It was always like this.
Even the dating agencies in Summervale did not want to deal with Quinn. Several independent
matchmakers had tried too, but to no avail every time.
Julian thought to himself that he was a successful and handsome young man sitting right here, but
none of the Crawfords seemed to pay him any attention.
Would it not solve the problem if he and Quinn became a couple?
The Crawfords did not have such thoughts.
The last time Julian visited, they misunderstood and thought he was Quinn’s boyfriend. After Quinn
clarified, they lost all interest in him.
In their eyes, Julian was too old for her, lived in a different city, and was too wealthy, creating a
significant gap with the Crawford family.
